Living Room - What would you do with this space?
Comments (4)Congratulations on your new house and have fun decorating. I believe bringing pops of color to the rooms will help a lot. A colorful throw, vibrant pillows, etc. will go a long way in warming up the area. Not sure I would have the couch hugging the wall and any rug in the room should have the furniture legs setting on it. I would definitely move any chair closer to the couch so the person sitting in it doesn't feel so isolated. We love scandanavian/mid-century furniture but it might be done to death? Who cares, if you love it then do it. I think everyone should decorate with pieces they love, not what is on trend at the moment....See MoreWhat would you do with this space?
Comments (18)Once upon a time we lived in SoCal, and twenty years later I still miss our garden there. If you do containers, you will want to plan to Irrigate them before you build the deck! Will a deck be more or less expensive than a concrete patio? Because critters sometimes live under decks! It’s so hard to find mature trees in SoCal, I would try really hard to prevent what you have, get them pruned by someone, not the mow and blow guys!...See MoreWhat would you do in this space?
Comments (1)Eta: I’m planning to have a long console on the same wall closer to the door with some plants, a round mirror and lamps....See MoreWhat would you do with this space?
Comments (5)I love the reading/coffee area idea. We already have a loft for the kiddos upstairs and I also have a desk nook area which is all I need :) I’m loving the idea of a cocktail/coffee room with a low sitting table and 4 chairs with some sort of wood cabinet with built in wine rack. I need to measure to make sure I have the space first lol thank you all!...See Morebossyvossy
