Help me Furnish & Decorate My Living Area &Dining Room of my new home
Comments (26)I love the clean, uncluttered look of your home and you've made some great furniture choices. My first thought, though, is that I would try to rework the sofa/sectional placement. It really is unwelcoming looking to me to have the back where it is facing a wall, when it could be oriented to look into the room and out the windows. It seems like if it were placed in the corner under the stairs that it would feel open and invite you to come in and sit. I'd hate to be cooking in the kitchen and have the family or guests with their backs to me. If you are having a TV in another room close by, do you need one in that room, too? If, so placing a 70" unit will probably only work as you have it. But, to me, it's not going to look like a living room but more like a movie theater, which is fine if that's what you're going for. It seems like it won't be a cozy conversation area, though. I might actually flip the rooms and put the dining room where you have the sofa now. I was looking at lights used with dining rooms and ghost chairs and saw this, maybe would work in the living room? Kind of fun. don't know if it would look as good without the colored walls though. And I thought something like these were interesting to consider for over your table:...See Moreplease help me decorate my house
Comments (5)What ever you do don't buy anything else black or dark brown for a dark room. Don't please, paint the room gray. So depressing with all the black/brown. Black-out drapes come in different colors. Paint the walls a pale linen color which will go with everything. Find a color you really like and use that for drapes and a few pillows. Look for a decorative piece for the coffee table. Use a tray with a colored candle and a small plant to give some life to your room. Get rid of the mini-blinds on the door. These are black-out drapes from Target. They block light but are not dark themselves....See Morehelp me decorate my new beautiful home please
Comments (16)Sara Skiz, that's a beautiful rug and while the room does feel a bit heavy, I think that can be alleviated by spreading the furniture out a bit more and choosing some lighter art and accessories. As for the bar stools, can you give us a shot that shows how this area relates to the counter? That is, a photo that has the seating area and counter in the same shot?...See MoreWill You Help Me Decorate My Home Piece by Piece?
Comments (573)I like the pattern fine, although it is not one I would choose for my home! I am more traditionalist. What I do not like about those two: fringe, especially light fringe, gets noticeably dirty where it is in the walking path. The same goes for the light colored background. This will be in your main space, and in the walk path from front room to kitchen -- I would look for a version that minimizes the light colored areas. Unless, you have no problem with frequently cleaning it - it needs to be colorfast also. I hope you have a couple of days off now to recoup. I used to do eight 12 hour shifts in a row every month (for child care purposes), and often found that I was more prone to coming down with something afterwards. My unit has been converted into the COVID-19 isolation unit for the hospital....See Moreperidot821
