Comments (1)Hi Mayren K , It looks like you have a beautiful space there! I'm guessing those are the staged photos? In general, with the natural textures& neutral tones really call for some pops of color to showcase your personal style. Hit me up on my profile and we can share an ideabook right here on Houzz. If you're looking for some low cost options to see the space before you decide on a design, check out my video below. Thanks, -frank Build Beautiful Homes...See MoreWhat color couches should I get??
Comments (12)I like pieces that are not matching though I find myself drawn to more classical styles such as the two Chesterfield loveseats in emerald green velvet, a wonderful wing chair in a kind of soft, almost sage green, and a rich cream sink-into-it chair and ottoman. The lamps are a mix of table and floor and modern and traditional. I would suggest looking at various styles of sofas online and getting a feel for what you like: straight or rolled arms, low or high arms, loose pillows on the back or none, and so on. Once you have narrowed down your choices to fewer than five, go out and try them out in stores. You don't have to buy from the stores but you'll get a strong sense of comfort. At the same time, think seriously about your wall color. You may want to stay with a neutral to allow a brightly colored sofa to stand out. Or maybe a dramatic color with neutral furniture (black paint, rich cream furniture in different textures and subtle shades). I definitely agree with no matching sets of furniture. Based on what I said at the beginning you can probably tell I ignore the advice to go neutral with the bigger items and bring in color with accessories. I love it because I took my time to discover the color I truly love and never get tired of: emerald....See MoreWhat size rug should I get under my couch in a studio apartment?
Comments (3)Take a few pictures of the ENTIRE space. Several angles........ My bet is the garden projects need to move to the nature outdoors....See Morewhat color couch?
Comments (5)How do people come up with things like “camel and brown are out”? Nonsense. No color is “out”. If you want the sofa in the second photo, go for it. You can go lighter with the rug like this one from Surya. or this kilim rug from Wayfair Either or would allow you to change up accent colors easily. Love a clay red with camel tones....See MoreHU-333472619
