Design Dilemma- Living Room
Comments (10)I like the black/gold coffee table better. No, I would not put a white rug under the coffee table. I think that would completely ruin the look. I think it is fine to replace the end tables with the floor lamps. Instead of having all 5 pieces of furniture match, I would suggest maybe doing the sofa in white and the 4 chairs in a different style. I would not do the exact same style as the sofa. I also think it is a bad idea to do all four chairs exactly the same but that is how your inspiration photo is configured. If you go that route, I would suggest four emerald green velvet chairs....See MoreTV Room doubling as Living room design Dilemma.
Comments (1)There are reasons why most people center the couch, but most people also prefer sitting on a good one. :) I guess I'd try putting the couch where the armchair is now (but extending into the corner), the two recliners where the couch is, and the armchair where the chair/lamp combo is on the right of the photo. I think that the seating would still work for conversation, but you would have the recliners facing the TV (and, honestly, the couch facing the view!). The main drawback would be having to walk around the end of the couch, but I don't think it would be a big deal once you got used to it -- be sure to put some light in the corner though. You could also put a short console behind the couch so it's not such a cold back to the dining room, if so desired....See MoreDesign dilemma. Living room is too long.
Comments (6)@decoenthusiaste Thanks for the suggestions! I’m not positive on the gray but definitely ready for something brighter and neutral so I can add bight accents like pillows, art, etc. I’ve been looking at dark Khaki walls and brown furniture for about 9 years! There is currently a trampoline that’s been outgrown that needs to be dismantled on the right so my pictures are hiding real life haha! I’ll update when it’s cleaned out! Hopefully that will help with feedback. I may have posted too prematurely, but in the planning phase. I’m definitely keeping the wood floors and trim. I love the warmth!...See MoreSmall living room bookcase design dilemma
Comments (9)The video is great! Very helpful. Such a charming house! I’m just thinking that corner would be super tight for accessing the bookcase … is there any way you could move the sectional (and rug with it) over some? Just to open that corner up more? As far as placement, I’d either find a corner unit or have it facing the sofa....See Morekimberlysc
