Furnishing my living room
Hey! I just moved into a loft a few months ago, and I am in the process of searching for a coffee table (in front of the sofa), end table (next to the sofa) or two, two chairs (along the left wall), and a table or floor lamp. Here is the space I'm dealing with:
Living room/kitchen:
Console stand on the other side of the sofa:
Does anyone have any recommendations that fit the style of my space?
Cheers,
Ryan

Living room HELP!
Comments (5)Here is a diagram which will give you a idea of a floating room. Essentially it means you move the furniture into the room and away from the walls. In this version the sofa was placed running the same was as the length of the room. If I had your room I would face two sofas away from the longest wall and facing each other so that they come off the wall into the room like two items across this box I'm typing in. Put them not the length but the width. The width is the vertical part of this box. Then add a large coffee table with lamps. In one corner I'd add a nice reading chair with a standing lamp and at the other end maybe a desk or game table. Google floating living room and then go to images which is on the google page and youll see dozens of rooms for inspiration. Good luck.

Comments (27)Beverly, I like the look you created. However, I just got the wall painted. It is a high ceiling so I cannot repaint myself. It is sand color (Wise Owl by Kelly Moore). I am hoping for the grey sofa, sand walls and brown floors to be the neutral colors that will not stand out. Only the blush/pink accents to pop. I did the opposite in the other room with brown floor, grey walls and brown sofa. and teal color for pop. Will light grey sofa achieve this goal better than dark grey?...See MoreHelp with French Living room layout with off center fireplace
Comments (14)You have enough room for two three seat sofas and a couple of smaller scale arm chairs. Take a look at the below diagram to see if it's something that would appeal to you. It's got two eight foot sofas and a large area rug that defines the entire seating area. One sofa is served by cubed coffee tables, the other by a larger table with an ottoman underneath for casual extra seating. See below example. If the arrangement will work for you, get some blue painters tape and map out the furniture on the floor to make sure the sizing will fit....See MoreFurnish my living Room .
Comments (11)The far end of the room by the fireplace is a French door that leads out to the patio outside. There is a garden outside. I can create some furniture ideas of furniture. I have tried putting the couch facing the fireplace but it is too big and blocks the walkway between rooms. there is an entry way that enters into this living room. I can take more photos if needed? I also paint in this room. It is for seating about 4. I was thinking of maybe a sleek off white or blue couch with maybe one accent chair and one or two ottomans. Maybe I could place them where the dark chair is. That way it wouldn't block the entry way view and not too big? I am thinking of getting rid of the loveseat and putting a rug under the edge of the couch and having no coffee table or some small thing to place items on. Right now it is crowded looking to me with the love seat. There is also a brown Haberdasher or the top part the item by the couch is being used to display items like a curio would and the bottom is for dishes or storage. I have another curio in the dining room. thanks....See More

6 years agoLove the space and great start!! I agree.. bring your sofa forward a little. Feel like your style is kind of southwest/industrial/rustic. Here are some examples of choices I think would go nice with your current furniture.
[Four Hands Alec Coffee Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/dayle-rustic-lodge-chunky-square-wood-iron-coffee-table-prvw-vr~12448448)
[Hancock & Moore Otto Cocktail Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/hancock-and-moore-otto-cocktail-table-prvw-vr~70856746)I think bringing in some natural elements or something funky for your accents would look great in the space too.
[Arteriors Nantucket Side Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/arteriors-nantucket-side-table-prvw-vr~79848141)
[Palecek Petrified Wood Stone Cast Stump[(https://www.houzz.com/products/palecek-petrified-wood-stone-cast-stump-prvw-vr~41808847)
[Arteriors Santiago Side Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/santiago-end-and-side-tables-burnt-brass-prvw-vr~79849126)Would get upholstered chairs to have the softer looking texture in the space and maybe something with a little height so your not looking at everything at the same level. I also agree, bringing in that pop of color of blue would liven up the place and breaks up the brown.

Good luck with your search!

6 years agoDon't get matching leather chair. You have lots of colors in the area rug. Pick a chair in a color that is already in the rug. Blue is good. Lots of industrial lofts have aged wood coffee tables. Edison bulbs light fixtures fit lofts well. Hope this helps.

6 years agoYour place looks amazing!
I want to move your sofa and rug to the left about 2-3 feet and maybe even rotate your rug the other direction. I'm thinking classic Danish modern lounge chairs, like Carl Hanson's Hans Wegner's CH25 Chairs or Cuba Lounge chairs. For floor lamps, something classic from Bestlite or maybe a Grasshoppa lamp. If you want a clear coffee table, the peekaboo acrylic tall coffee table from CB2 is great. I also think your space is plenty industrial without going overboard on that theme in the furnishings, and you get so much natural light that your existing furniture is not making it look too dark at all.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agocool space! I love these velvet club chairs w/your leather sofa and industrial vibe
you could do something in darker blue if these are too bright for you. I love the texture and the color though.
maybe a live edge coffee table

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHey all! Adding to the conversation... I'm also looking to do something with my side wall in my living room. Keeping to the industrial style with a hint of Asian theme (cultures of Japan, India, Thailand, and Turkey are important to me), I have a few options that I've been mulling over that I'd like to get your guys' thoughts on:
a. Leave the wall as is and hang up some framed photos/artwork.
b. Paint the wall a different color. This is technically my "accent" wall right now since the rest of my walls are off-white, but I've considered doing something a little more bold like a navy blue.
c. Put up some interesting wallpaper. I'm a fan of this design and I've toyed with the idea of putting up wallpaper of a world map if the dimensions work out - something like this or this. The wall is textured, so I'm not sure how viable this option is.
d. Paint a mural!
Looking forward to reading your feedback! I'll be posting pics after I finish this space. Hopefully soon.
P.S. Bear with me on some of the blemishes. I am working on touching up the baseboard and fixing some patches in the wall where the previous owner mounted a TV. WIP- PRO

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agothe great thing about paint is it's easily changed . what a great wall for some vertical and hanging plants.
have you thought about doing an ombre effect w/peacock or marine blue tones? would look beautiful w/the wood flooring.
something like this, but in the colors of the 2nd photo
stick some air plants up there too!

6 years agoI liked the idea of the murals...until I started putting furniture in your room...then it was distracting. What about an antique Asian cabinet with a framed Chinoiserie panel... the look of wallpaper without the commitment.

6 years agoWow, nice room. We think the Noguchi coffee table would look great here. It brings a unique mix of form and function. The triangle coffee table top is made of sturdy tempered glass, which is toughened through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling during manufacturing.
