Can someone help me decorate my formal living room?
Comments (32)Nosoccermom, I'm actually sitting in the room now and had to move one of the chairs to the other side of the sofa because I couldn't see the tv from either one. I am not at all comfortable. However, I didn't buy these chairs to be comfortable and sat on for hours at a time. They are just for our office and are rarely used. I don't know how much time we'd spend in here if I had to sit on this chair. (Yes, I could sit on the couch with my husband but like oakleyok said, we like having our own space). My husband also was concerned that it's not really set up for interaction with the chairs there since everyone seems to be looking at the tv, not at eachother. He's still hoping for a sofa and loveseat or the sectional. I feel like the room has definitely opened up like this but if we're not comfortable watching tv, we will rarely sit in here - sad but true. I am at a stand still. I like the look but not for tv or talking. Maybe it can just look pretty. :) To answer your question, we do use it for watching tv. I'd say DH spends about 25% of his tv watching time in here and my oldest spends an hour or two after school in here reading or watching tv. I don't come in here on my own. I prefer the family room because it's off the kitchen and I can see everything that's going on if I am cooking/getting a snack for the kids or any of the other million things I have to do in there. I also hate looking at the old furniture in here and that will hopefully be solved soon. To answer the question about the sectional size, it was 120 inches long and 84 inches on the chaise side. So 10 feet by 7. The room is 19 x 12. The sectional would actually give me a little bit more room than the couch and loveseat that is presently in the room. It would take up much more room than a couch and 2 chairs....See MoreHelp me decorate my living room walls! (New homeowner)
Comments (26)Not every wall needs to be decorated. You could easily put a large tall plant in the corner next to the window. Home Depot usually has good ones for not too much. Any of these would work well. Every room needs a plant. They're great space fillers without looking contrived. They really cozy up a room....See MoreNeed help updating living room!
Comments (19)Your cocktail table is really nice....consider using steel/wrought iron and stone end tables that blend with the cocktail table colors....lamps can be large and done in a accent color....art work, very big or multiples of two or three using about 2/3 wall space of sofa length....curtains can be is a smaller print with white and your accent color or possibly in colors that coordinate with the art work over the sofa....start with the end tables and lamps and art....good luck and best wishes or the new baby....See MoreHelp me decorate my living room please!
Comments (12)You are in luck, because the one word that defines both boho and farmhouse is relaxed! These two styles will allow you to embrace the unique qualities of your home. Let inspiration come in the way of a piece of fabric, or a favorite accessory. Have a plan before you buy anything, to give your home unity and cohesiveness. Measure twice, buy once! You have a blank slate with your neutral base pieces, so you can pretty much go with any color or colors. Get art from local artists, or art.com. As you can see from the two links below, you have a lot of options with the boho and farmhouse styles. https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/farmhouse-living-room/nqrwns https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/boho-living-room/nqrwns...See Moregrapefruit1_ar
