Comments (2)What you need is a different rug : ) Are there any other colors in your home? In adjacent rooms?...See MoreWhat chairs and rug should we get for this living room?
Comments (13)So the style of the house is Art Deco, as seen in the archways, the tray ceiling, and elements of the outside. As a comparison, here is a historic-designated house down the road from us which has very similar elements in the ceiling and archways (though it's specifically the Streamline subset of art deco, which ours is not): https://www.redfin.com/CA/Long-Beach/2642-Chestnut-Ave-90806/home/7571389 The houses are similar enough and physically close enough, built 2 years apart, that I actually wonder if they were built by the same developer. (The built-in cabinet around the fireplace doesn't have that design of course.) We don't want to go overboard with art deco -- obviously, this is not the Chrysler building. Or even a historic-designated house. And obviously art deco is not MCM either. But I do think there are some broadly-speaking "modernism" elements to the room, and I think some of the clean lines of MCM or contemporary furniture could fit into a modern vibe of the room. (For example, decoenthusiast's kidney bean chaise reads very MCM to me but wrong for the room because of the smooth curves, but the more geometric chaise, to me fits very well!) Very loosely speaking, I think the black piano with gold accents fits into the deco idea as well as well....See MoreHouse Paint Help--what colors should we choose?
Comments (11)In addition to choosing a color to go with your roof, be sure to upgrade the lights; they should be 1/3 of the front door's height. Paint the downspouts to match the color they lie against. Pull out the overgrown bushes and plan for a serious landscape reno with the help of a local pro who knows the plants that thrive in your area. Try it without the shutters after you repaint, and if you want them back, don't put them on the large front window. Remove the fan pieces from the garage windows; they really date the house....See MoreCallie German
