HELP!!! Which Blue Sofa Should I Buy???
Comments (96)Flo Mangan, I randomly found this lamp at Homegoods on a whim. I think I went look at art, and found this instead. I had another one from pottery barn, but we felt as if this lamp went better with our aesthetic....See MoreBlue rug, yellow walls, taupe couch family room design help
Comments (12)First thought is to move the whole seating area down toward the fireplace so the the end table is centered on the far window. My moving the seating area down, you may be able to have a sofa table behind for some lamps. I would look at plantation shutters although if I could convince you I’d go with drapes too. It will help to balance that wall out and add some softness as well as add some visual ‘pop’ if you chose a pattern. With that said, with drapes you wouldn’t need any artwork because the wall space would be taken up by the drapes. I’d remove the mirrored piece to the right by the entry as it looks like it’s floating out in space. I would also consider doing something else other than artwork. There is so much out there like wall planters, metal art, something 3-dimensional. Just an FYI, there are apps like BeCasso that will take an existing photo and turn it into a watercolor, oil paining, pop art. Then you can order it as print, canvas or whatever. I did some mediocre mock-ups so you can get a feel for what some of this would look like. I also included a pic of a house like yours so that you may want to put something in the entry. I wouldn’t two two items just one....See MoreHelp with paint color in north facing room w/ green sofa and blue rug
Comments (5)Thank you everyone for taking time to respond, I really appreciate it! It sounds like people like keeping the walls a white/cream neutral, but I should focus on getting the lighting right and maybe tone down the door into the side room (currently painted to match the walls in there). The space has no overhead lighting so I definitely think that's part of the problem!...See MoreI’m trying to decide what wall color &rug goes w/ orange velvet couch
Comments (82)Any of the blues are nice with the orange. Your idea for just using a window treatment with the blue is also nice. I like the window shade Paul used, and also look on Etsy; there are some sellers there with really unique items. I think a plum/eggplant color in your space could also be amazing. I think someone further up in the thread showed a room with that color combo. On an unrelated note: Is anyone else having problems with the site? I can pull up discussions but cannot access the comments, and cannot post new comments. I can apparently comment on posts I’ve previously commented on, and read comments on these posts. However, I can do all of this only if I access it through my Houzz “Activity” menu, and only if I am on Desktop mode on my iPhone. (Which all I use of late is an iPhone and I don’t use the Houzz app.) I’ve never had this issue before, so not sure if it’s site related....See MoreHeather
