Help with designing living room with accent chair and cubed ottomans
Comments (29)Without seeing the kitchen and why your DH wants gray, I say the one on the far right. The strong contrast in the gray would take over the room and I think would fight the rug. The ivory give you pattern, but you can still see the rug and they balance each other. I had been thinking blue, but I like the cream or ivory and that keeps that light feel. Blue would have to be balanced with some other weight in the room or I think they would be too heavy too. You might find something like the ivory but with a pattern in blue (not too much) as a compromise? But let's see what's in the kitchen.........See MoreHelp....Need help choosing accent chair for my living room....
Comments (11)I think a rich cream color would look very nice with the rest of the room. I am thinking something very much as the pillows in the left of your photo appear. Then if you're not totally wed to the mirror above the fireplace you can bring in artwork and some candles to pick up the cream of the chair. I assume the recliner you mentioned is in the upper right hand side (where for some reason another commenter moved a television into place.). A pillow or small throw placed on the chair can correlate to the rich cognac color of your sofa and love seat. Good luck....See Moreif chairs match, do ottomans have to match
Comments (11)Grover’s pillow is one of my long-time favorites ( I have the square version in one of my ideabooks.) However, I am wondering will the plaid sofa be in the same room ? Not sure that would work with the succulents print, but I do love it on your chairs....See Moreaccent chairs for living room
Comments (11)Hi Shana, if I may add to this topic regarding your living room, I would go for a coffee table like this below and smaller same design side tables to place at the sides of the sofa below the painting, with a table lamp on - you can position the floor standing light somewhere else in the room, so that your soffa-side tables-lamp-abstract painting becomes the focal point in the room. I agree the accent chairs colors match the rug or the painting with no tuft, and you can always place some plants or flowers to give some extra color and texture. Good luck and post some after pics when you are done, ok? Love the sofas and the room, and the view!!!...See Moreroarah
