Please help make my space cohesive.
Comments (12)@kaismom, trying to base design on the colors in the LR. The cherry and wall color I like very much. Also the tile around the stove. The cabs are staying in the kitchen(except on island, will reface). I want to get rid of the red, white and anything gold. Thinking bone tone for walls. Hope this helps. @dilly ny, Yes! We are on the same page. The island is not done yet. I do not plan on it being white. I want to make it the same color as whatever I land on for the woodwork in the kitchen (maybe?), and it will have a butcher block top sililar in color to the cabs. I was also thinking about pulling a color from the tile around the stove. I am not sure how dark or light. The curtains and end tables can change. They are just from our old house "for now." Thanks for the insight. Keep it coming!...See MoreRemodeling Family room layout/furniture help please!
Comments (2)In the last picture, does the door on the left lead to the garage? So will you be leaving the tile floor there? I wonder if you can't leave the living room arranged the same as it is now, but with the chair where the tv will be vacating? It doesn't seem to bother you now to watch tv on the angle. Although, since you are losing the half-wall, you can just put the sofa across the room, between the kitchen and patio door. That creates a walkway along the long wall. This is how we had our FR arranged, though where you have a bookcase on the right, we had doors to a powder room and a laundry. If your new sofa won't provide enough seating, add a swivel chair or two, either in an L to the sofa or by the bookcases as you have now....See MoreNew Family Room Furniture Help
Comments (19)The recliner doesn’t bother me in that location, but I feel like you need to turn the rug the other way and get the feet of the recliner on it as well. Is that a new rug bought specifically for this room? I am not sure it is the correct dimensions. The flower prints look good to me....See MoreHow do we make the furniture in our living room look more cohesive?
Comments (13)Thank you for the suggestions everyone-- this is my first time posting on this site. I appreciate the feedback. I didn't post the room because we currently live in an apartment and we don't plan to be here much longer, but I can definitely repost when I get home if that will help! As for the 60% rule suggestion, I am a total newbie and I truly do not know what would look best. Gray might be too sterile, white might be too clinical, and red may be too bold. There is a sage green in the rug that I think is pretty, but obviously none of my other furniture is that color. I feel like we have bungled this badly already....See Morejezalab
