Need advice on Living Room decoration. Area Rug/Art work/ feature etc.
Comments (23)great advice upthread I'll try to be short, probably repeating several people: -get rid of the white console next to the fireplace/look for smth else instead if you need it there for function -think of other window treatments. curtains? woven blinds? roman shades? any of these will look better. move your sectional a bit from the wall, both to allow room for window treatments and because furniture generally needs at least couple inches to breathe..that wil also make room seem larger -you already purchased the ottoman in the same color and style of the sofa..off white, right? well something different would be better, but it's okay..buy a throw, fold it and put there to break your lines a bit. tray is great too-both for function and beauty. you'll appreciate it when watching this TV -I liked reading how your wife gets her art:) okay..so if there's no real room for other suggestions(I'm also prejudiced against mass produced canvas art..maybe she can be talked into a print instead?..)..put that art there first. Make sure it fits-seems huge?.. Say you go for that a very similar art, you have there-a bit of white, black, brown, indigo blue, fiery yellow white and brown you already have in your room (btw like your furniture) pull your other colors (in pillows and throws and accessories) from that art -deep sophisticated blues, golds. can be metallic accessories (like vases or flower pots?), can be softest fur pillows can be velvet, can be knitted throw. everythhing you buy-make sure it's a different texture..leather is sleek you've got enough of it. Speaking from experience-I also have my fair share of leather:) then look for a big ticket items like curtains and a rug. (or simultaneously..just keep your general scheme in mind). you can decide to make them fairly neutral. repeat the color of the furniture, just different material of course. or go for one vivid deep color but make it a shag rag for example. Don't try to match pattern to art..art has a mind of its own. Look at the room as a whole..what does it ask for? and know yourself of course..say I love many rugs but I don't like to clean them lol. You know whether it's high traffic area, what your habits are, and whether you'll be sad for 5 min if the rug will have spots and then get over it, or will be sad for 5 days. when you buy a side table try, again, to introduce another texture, just different material in this case. maybe wood. maybe ceramics(garden stool?some of these look really modern). every new material you bring creates dimension. Dimension is something you look for when creating spaces. Why? well that what we've used to. Ouside always has it. Even when it's a desert or an ocean. It has depth. we need to recreate it with all sort of ways and means that are availiable to us.. Good luck! will be a cool room edited because of thousand typos..))...See Moreneed for art or decoration?
Comments (27)We have thought about a love seat in front of the big window.... But would hate to cut off all the light.... And view from bottom of window.... Our dog sits/lays at the window! I like having the two separate chairs I'm always looking for ideas of ways to change for the better, but so far this setup is the best e have come up with..... I would like a new dining room table and chair set. I hate the table, and like the chairs, but think they are too big for the room. I don't like the color of the big leather chair, and I know I'll need a bigger rug too make it all look tied together. IV thought about putting a little hall tree behind the front door, next to the chair, for coats, keys, and bag daily storage....See MoreOur den needs some help! Layout and decor and artwork
Comments (2)Can you share a layout of the room with measurements? My first thoughts are why isn't your seating facing the TV and do you need more seating when you have a large sectional for two people and a dog....See MoreNeed help choosing wall art/decor for kitchen nook
Comments (10)Art is very personal. Look on Great Big Canvas for art printed on canvas which is safer to hang in an area where kids will be sitting. There are thousands of choices but you can use filters. They have 50% off sales all the time so don’t order until then. https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/ I would not get a glass topped table for everyday use with young children. Have you measured your space? A 48” table will be tight if the width of the space from wall to cabinet is only 7 or 8 ft....See MoreSusie .
