Furniture Design Dilemma living room

What color scheme should I go with?

5 years ago

So I added a picture of the coffee table of a set I have to show you the color. I have the table and the TV unit. Just wondering what color sofas, decor, carpet would work best with the color of the set? All ideas welcome! Would love to see examples.

I like the table and series. I would select neutrals and then add color with the wall art and maybe the pillows. I would select khaki colored drapery panels like below.

sarah, you never match your room to a single wooden table. you are supposed to have your table match your decor. you do realize you could go much less that that price and get similar, right?

ok, this should not be a problem. do you know what colors or styles you like, i tried to use your ideabooks, and well we know where that went. lol

I am thinking of replacing the sofas and the carpet but keep the set. I always liked creme or beige colored sofas. So was thinking of getting something like that but wanted to get opinions here first to see if they’d work together. Sorry, not very active here so I don’t have anything in my ideas book!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! The landscaping is a project already in progress so don't focus on that too much. We've only owned the house for year and we've had a TON of deferred maintenance that we weren't expecting and landscaping is just one of those things. The thing I'm hating is the red brick and white, white white everything else. The garage doors and side door is also white. I'd like to increase curb appeal by having the color scheme be a little more multidimensional. I'm not opposed to keeping the brick red. Certainly less maintenance. I just like the look of a lightly lime washed brick that leaves a little of the brick showing through. I've attached a picture of the front door area. The design of my house makes my front door lost in the recessed area. I'm planning to remove the glass storm door and replace the beat up front door with a new door. Assuming I went with the gray roof and gutters and a taupe trim what color front door would you all go with to tie it all together and make the front door pop? Also I could fit a double door in there and eliminate the sidelights but I'm afraid it will look too crowded in there. Should I get a double door? Or stick with the sidelights?

The roof is really quite neutral so what kind of style do you think you like? i think the house lends it self to MCM so maybe that could work What is the material on the house thta is turquoise? I think someone painted the brick which is a shame but proably not going to be removed now.This is my fave for inspiration if MCM is kind of what you like it even is great for landscping ideas

If you want helpful answers, then you need to provide several photos of the room where this piece will go and describe what function the room has. What color are your walls? What color is your floor? (A floor is a fourth wall. If you have golden oak floors, some wood pieces will harmonize and some won't. If your floors are espresso or driftwood color, then some wood furnishings will work better than others.) As having fun says, you need to take the whole room into account. It's okay not to have Ideabooks, but photos of the room are necessary. Avoid buying any single pieces without a game plan. Start by sharing photos of the room in question.

I rent a house, and will not be staying here for long. Just wanted to see what style and color people suggested would go with the design and color of the table I posted a picture of. Not necessarily what would look good in my living room, because I will be moving anyway.
Just wanted to get an idea, that’s all.

I don’t love the table so I would not be choosing furniture to go with it but IMO you will need large cluncky pieces to go with that table, color I have no idea without any more info from you.

Since you'll be moving and don't have to think of the actual space, I envision grey and blue with lots of creme textures added in as an accent.

Just throwing out an idea. I would keep the sofa on the smaller size to make it more flexible as you move to different places. Definitely don't get a sectional. A pair of chairs in a transitional style, that can match the sofa or each other.

Is this what you had in mind when you purchased the table and TV unit?

yes i agree. op it should not be deficult to find things, pretty much everything goes with it. you really need to find your new place and then we can help you buy things for that. the tables and tv console are such a small part of it all. don't worry be happy.
