Need ideas and suggestions for my new living room. Change suggestions?
Hello everyone.
This is my new living room where I am working on.
I bought this velvet, light silver sofa and a marble round table for the living room.
I am using gold accents in the whole room and a few mint-green accents (such as the decorative pillows, the vase and the decorative blanket)
I love the room to be bright and fresh and I am a lover of the white color so I put white curtains, white rugs and painted white the walls and the fireplace.
Please let me know that you think and give more ideas for my new space as I am working to make it as nice as possible! Please note that I love modern chic style :)
Thank you!

Need suggestions - make my living room lighter and cozy
Comments (61)a couple more thoughts... a ceiling light fixture will help and bring some interest for sure. have you thought more about one? art absolutely will help and so will pillows. I also think you might want to consider new inserts for pillows if you can. and larger size pillows like 20inx20in, not sure how that translates in com, but large size pillows will help. consider the size of the insert one size up from the size of the cover so it fills out the pillow and makes if more fluffy. if you get feather down inserts i would consider that too. thought I would share a couple pics that show how just a few additional features will make a difference. I like the idea of a couple large pillows on the floor too. I would style the coffee table a bit too...See MoreNeed your suggestions in decorating my living room
Comments (12)You can get one of the sisal-type rugs at Ikea to put under your existing rug to expand the space. This also helps if you like a rug but don't have the budget for a large size. I'd look at slip covers, purchased or made, for the furniture and a few decorative pillows. For furniture placement: A trick I learned from my mom: actually move the furniture around to see how different configurations really work - take everything out except the heavy furniture so do that first, then add the small stuff, plants, etc. Some nice decorative plant pots would also help the space. It looks like your furniture is placed a bit far away from the TV. You also could consider getting one of the expanding/rotating arms for the TV to give you more viewing/furniture placement options. It takes a little time to get the curated, layered looks that you see in pictures, but it can be done and takes less than you might think. Good luck!...See MoreSuggestions needed for the (big) final touches of my living-room
Comments (11)I like the bar idea. And I would definitely go with painted cabinets in a rich color to liven up the space. Everything you currently have is either espresso brown or gray, and that gets monotonous pretty quickly. How deep is that space? Because to put a wine/beverage fridge there, you'll need at least 24" but preferably 25" of depth. Here's a bar we did for a client that does not have a wine fridge, but has painted cabinets with glass shelving: Their place is decidedly more rustic than yours, but it just gives you an idea of what can be done. Or you could do something like this with a tile backsplash and open shelving: And FWIW, it doesn't have to be a built in. You could find a nice tall bar cabinet that fits in the space. Like this:...See MoreNeed help with ideas for my dining room chandelier. Any suggestions???
Comments (1)When you get a new chandelier, be sure it is lower, close to your table. Some say 36 inches over the table. You could use black or bronze since you don't like gold....See MoreAngel 18432

5 years agoOf the lighting options you've shown, I also like the first one. But you might keep looking for something simpler and more open. I like the gold finish because it coordinates well with your mirror and artwork. If you can move it to be centered over your table you can hang it lower, but if you need to keep it in the middle of the room it needs to stay higher.

two things that immediately stick out.
1. your art over the sofa. All wrong. it's too small and too heavily framed for your style. Hang it over the fireplace if you really want to use it. move the mirror somewhere else.
2. lighting. here are some others that might work better
while the mint color is ok, I think you could do better. try some black/white pillows with another color, in a print.how about yellow or gold? I also like this gold side chair I stuck in this pic, along w/some other items that would work w/your decor.
two sets of pillows that would work, a black/white plant container, black/gold/gray table lamp (look for something at least 25-30" tall)
other pillows
I like the fireplace, but not that black/white rug thing in front of it.J J

5 years agoThe room is very elegant just as you have it. But assymmetry, eclecticism and one-of-a-kind pieces could really zing it with creative energy. Like this photo from the NYTimes, a room that violates any number of formal rules, yet has a spirited vibe.....

5 years agoDifferent style cushions would add more sophisticated style you are after, even simple covers from IKEA it shown below would work just make sure when you’re buying insert for the cushion covers get it one size larger then the
Cover so it’s always looking plump. The curtain rod could be replaced with a longer gold colour so when your drapes are pulled open , they don’t cover the window, it will make the room look wider and more spacious.

5 years agoHello everyone!
I would like to share with you some next steps for my living room. I ordered a new ceiling light and you can see it bellow. I also took off the cushions with the black accents and put white and light green cushion and i like more the result which is bright and fresh.
I also put a black table lamp on the entry dresser!
Above the sofa i will hang a 3 item abstract art with white, gold and black colors.
I will paint the living room and would like to know what do you think: all walls white, all walls very light grey with white ceiling??? Or something else??
Your help willbe apreciated.
