PRO6 years agoOK-i couldn’t wait for measurements so I just did this concept sketch. I can do a scale drawing when I get the measurements. I totally guessed but I love the idea of a round rug in the main seating area. I also like the pink sofa angled toward the front door. Along entry wall a great long console with a pair of contemporary, glam mirrors above. A trio of 3 chandeliers. One at entry, one over seating area and one over dining table. A upholstered oval tufted bench adds a but more seating in conversation area. A oversized floor lamp with awesome large shade, maybe purple sits behind sofa creating some separation of seating and dining. Two large art pieces adorn each area. A large round glass dining table with beautiful base highlights the dining room. The chandeliers do not match but the share elements such as metal color and some interesting crystals. Enjoy!

Comments (5)I love your antique trunk - that will certainly help set a country/cottage mood. It's really useful too, since it can be a coffee table or a media stand, or a side table. Also interesting that your sofa back is sort of a reverse Camel back. If it works, I'd like to see the sofa on the wall without windows, so that the straight line of the window sill does not compete with the reverse curve. Your rug is pretty and colors are a close match to sofa, but it is rather small. Would it work in your entry way instead? Remember to make your bench cushion 4-5 inches thick. Right now the only pattern that you have is from the afghans. It will be easier to furnish the room after you introduce a pattern or two. I'd probably start with patterned draperies, because they'll have a big effect. Then you can either choose a subdued rug or layer more pattern. Same with the upholstery for your chairs. I love quilts on the wall, but I think your afghan would probably stretch out too much, so I'd continue to use them as throws instead. As others have suggested, take it slowly - you'll have a better result, and hopefully it's more enjoyable too....See MoreHelp decorating living rooom
Comments (3)You're saying the paint, carpet, and sofa aren't changing and you want help with accessories & colors, etc. I hate to say it, but the three main anchors in the room are fighting with each other (colors) and it's hard to recommend other colors when they're not working together. I can totally understand not replacing a sofa or carpet and I can understand not wanting to repaint for a variety of reasons, but this is where I would make a change. Your carpet is boss and if you want to stay neutral you're going to need something with the same pink undertone. I have the same brown/tan carpet with a pink undertone (as do many people in the world with 'neutral' carpet and tiles, etc.) throughout a large part of my house. Look at BM Muslin, BM Shaker Beige, or BM Patience. Your sofa is reading green on my monitor, but you say it's blue. I'd start by changing the wall color and work to add more blue and cream to the room. Do you have any inspiration photos? Does your style lean traditional? Do you like patterns? Prefer solids? If you really don't want to paint the option would be to layer a pattern rug on top of the carpet and make sure it has all the colors in and just keep repeating the colors throughout the room to make it look more intentional....See MoreHelp!

Comments (44)Sounds like you and hubby aren’t on the same page. Buying a table, without ability to return is red flag to me. He bought that rug too without your involvement. The rug is wrong size and style. No photo of the table. But better sit down and talk about this and reach some compromises otherwise, these situations can fester and get ugly over time....See MoreHelp with living room decor
Comments (4)Yes, the dark couches with the dark rug is too much. Put in top search box modern rug pattern color in photos and see all the ideas. One I liked was the rug with a white background and black diamond pattern. Another was a rug with off-white and green diamond pattern. Blues are fine - very calming. Also bring those colors into huge wall art and accessories such as a throw, pillows, lamp base, etc. Speaking of lighting, I might trade out that three light fixture number you have for the following: a table lamp or wall sconce in each corner at chest height. You may not have a modern look, but instead a casual look due to the couches. Educate yourself about the different decor styles by putting them one at a time in the top search box. Start off with modern, then casual, then eclectic, then transitional, etc....See MoreRelated Professionals

- 6 years agoThe sofa is 98” and it is straight. Hard to tell what’s possible without measurements though. I have no problem with angling a sofa, I’ve done it in my own house. I’m not personally fond of round rugs but that’s a personal choice. Nourison will do a custom round in 10’ and 12’! They have lots of beautiful patterns.

6 years agoTwo rugs that are both very glam. A) black with blush pink can be very dramatic and B) a chinoiserie rug with blue and pink that is also different & elegant. Both from CB2.

Walls are grey [light though] … ? consider cools and silvery metals near seating? toward lavenders and urban mauve / fuschia in art.... in a standout location: gold !!

- 6 years agoThe Pellot rug would be pretty paired with this rug for different parts of the room, I think. This contemporary floral only comes in an 8’ x 10’ for the largest size.

Here is "Option 1". We can play with placement of sofa, but these dimensions are somewhat limiting.
I put a rectangular glass top table at approx 72x42" since you need chair push back space around this table. The long items on walls are mirrors (over entry console) and art on long wall. Sizes to be determined. I didn't put rug in yet. Once you settle on basic arrangement, then we can do a rug. A 9x12 will probably work, placed with the 12' across the space and the 9' front wall to back. NOTE: I do not have a good feel for that entry wall on what I think is front of home? Door width? position of what looks like an angled wall at the front entry? So, this drawing will need revisions but it is a start.

Option 2 has the sofa on the long wall, and it provides space for a tufted "bench", so that has a bit more seating than Option 1.

Option 3 - this option leaves the living area the same, but changes the rectangle table for a round 60" table. Both tables would seat six comfortably, if the chairs are narrow at the front edge, you could squeeze 8 into the round table. 8 would be tight on the rectangle unless you got a longer table so you could put 3 chairs on each side. Chairs usually are about 22-24" wide at the front edge then you need to leave a little bit of room for sliding in and out easily.
Take a look at these and see what appeals to you most or other changes you would like me to try.

- 6 years agoI still like the sofa in front of the window. With dramatic drapes and a chandelier I think it is the sweet spot in this room!
- 6 years agoMy last input will be is when you look for chairs try to find ones without legs! As your sofa has legs and your dining room will be in the same space the room can get very leggy looking! The more solid bases of the chairs will add some “ leg” relief! Here are some styles; pay no attention to color, they come in other fabrics!

"Not natural weaves and plain fabrics, but graphic patterns and sleek textures. Mix vinyl, silk and satin for layers of tactile interest; choose rugs, carpets and upholstery with geometric, rhythmic motifs. Animal prints are showy... Lacquer, polished wood and metal, and glossy paint combine for a slick and gleaming effect. Sprinkle glass and mirrored pieces...."
