Nice house! I think that golden oak and brass fixtures will soon make a comeback, because dark wood and silver/stainless have been popular for so long. I don't think the peachy wall color in your house looks good with the oak, though, because it makes the oak look so yellow. Before you paint the trim and window blinds, try painting the walls. Our walls are a pale khaki/green, so light it reads as a neutral, and it looks great with warm wood tones. I've also seen nice warm grays look good with golden wood. On the other hand, as much as I love wood, I think the bookshelves look odd in that spot, mostly because they appear to be floating above the baseboard heater. I think that would be the best wall for the TV, so you may have to change the shelves to make that work, or move/remove some of them. Can the dining room be closed off completely, with a big arched doorway? With such open space in the other rooms, it might be nice to have a more intimate space for contrast, and to have less sound bouncing around when you talk and laugh at the dinner table. Can the ceiling in that room be lowered? If not, I do like the grill idea suggested above for the openings to the DR. Lastly, before you shop for furniture I would make many copies of a to-scale floor plan and try moving little paper pieces of furniture around to make sure you can make it work before you buy it.

Well, I was really young in the nineties..in the middle of the nineties we moved into our first rental, then first apartment..very little money too. I remember being into light wood. I loved maple and cherry-as opposite to my childhood home. (now I prefer teak and walnut...)). I remember going to the stores that were completely unattainable in their price range, and just admiring. We did get a few important things though, like a bed, a dining table, a futon sofa, a vanity...and slowly added to it. Most of these pieces are still alive and kicking-they were really well made. But some, I could afford just to look at. I remember one sectional..I would be going several times a week to the store just to look at it from afar. The upholstery was amazing-it would change from soft silver green to soft silver purple, depending on an angle you looked at it. I found it again here in US, after 15 years. It was Ligne Roset store where I saw it. I recognized it immediately. But this time, I tried to sit on it-and found it really uncomfortable..:) Well..I realize it doesn't shed much light on the general decor tendencies..:)

Denise Marchand cawaps After discussing with my family, I'm afraid sectionals are out. My partner doesn't like them as they remind him of dorm/college housing, and noted that our family/extended doesn't really like to sit side by side and migrates to the chairs. And there's the sleeping on the sofa habit that would immediately go into effect with 2 sectionals. Could I can use sofas/daybed/chairs to create the same L shape? I took our existing furniture and moved it into place to see what Ls would feel like. Here's what I have so far (the brown trunk-like table that makes an L to the sofa in the foreground in picture 1 is serving as another sitting piece): I'm not sure if I have enough space for a banquette + 2 chairs at the bay window. Perhaps just two chairs backed up to the window? The Eames chairs also feel very crowded if I put them where you directed in your layout and feel like they're floating randomly in the middle of the room. I pushed them to the walls. If this could work then I can get two matching chairs for this corner instead of whats there: I think the Eames chairs might need to be relocated to another part of the house. They aren't very "efficient" in terms of footprint or placement in this room. I think the tv might be re located as well, because right now it's too far from either sofa. Perhaps I can put in a large floral tapestry (maybe 6 ft high by 8 ft) against the wall on that long console. As you can see, I'm trying to get a focal point without the tv or a fireplace, for now. If the layout works for us in 2 years down the line, then I'll feel more comfortable spending more money for a fireplace install. We just finished a large remodel a month ago and I've finally cleaned all the drywall dust and anything else that involves ripping a wall immediately is somewhat daunting. I have 2 more layouts that I will post pictures of next.

You should incorporate some teal, but only with small pops. Boho is better suited for bold colors, but if you are leaning towards eclectic/ Scandinavian it may be a bit difficult especially with the drapery’s fabric and trim. Last two pictures may help. It’s difficult to recommend specifics with you just referencing accent chairs and a chaise which isn’t enough information. Will you and need more - armoire, desk, bookcases, reading, yoga area, how much seating, etc. Think about all the pieces you need to make the room functional and then a floor plan will help. The colors and accessories will be the last part of the equation
