Help please with tv room/ living room
Comments (25)Neutrals are quite hard to decorate with, they pose no less difficulties than color, if not more..that's why it's hard. (Wood stains are easier. Not all of them but most of them. That's because we really see them as neutrals-lots of trees around)) Fabrics and paint..yeah, we consider such and such neutral yet it still bosses us around to a degree. They are warm, cool, light, dark, whatnot But. From what I see you like both earthy and luxurious elements..am I right? I think if you pull colors from your living. Light ones, whites, color of the sofa, colors of metal in your dining chandelier..And you translate it into textiles. Fabrics. But make them as earthy as your furniture-bigger and with a lot of texture, different texture, Yet a bit luxurious as well. Say faux fur. Add a throw, couple pillows. Go for different textures. Don't make these skimpy..should feel comfy, and break the expanse of furniture. And-you should love it. Really want to use it. It's about the feel as much as it is about decor. You can add an accent color you love. Actually you can add many. Start slow and see where it takes you. Just be generous about different textures, and sizes of things. Not a lot of small pillowsbut a coupe of really cool ones. Along these lines. Put books on yout table..if you like them of course. Or a tray. Bring in plants. You can add a rug, for interest and pattern and fun. You'll add curtains at some point, I suppose. You'll add art-no need to hurry. As you go you can decide to move pieces..say an ottoman, a small side table..you'll become more relaxed, will play with placement more, will add colors, will decide to substract colors. You'll figure out your comfort zone, I love your bunnies. The ones on the dining table. I look at them and see a sort of a clue. They seem cozy where they are. Is there a bird cage in the corner? It is intimidating indeed to start off..and no place can get done in a day, unless it was collected for years (or painstainkingly designed in advance like it was collected for years) and then you just called movers. (and even then will need tweaking and thinking and whatnot). But as you go you get more like a bird or a bunny:) More carefree. You start enjoying. You make mistakes-well it's not an open heart surgery, you know. You tweak it, you play with it, you have fun, in the end of the day....See MoreTV/Den/Lounging Room advice requested

Comments (8)Do you have plans for the niches next to the fireplace? Maybe builtin storage cabinets and TV on a pull-out swivel on the right. The L side you could leave blank or have shelves above the lower cabinet. It will add some architectural interest and allow for storage. Then a seating area in front of fireplace - sofa and 1-2 chairs. A small desk area in the space between sofa area and dining. Though I’d probably have a computer station that closes off (do you need for desk top or just lap tops?)...See MoreAdvice on TV wall please- new entertainment center, or console, etc?
Comments (11)Thank you so much!!! Your ideas are very appreciated!!! Below is pic of rug that is in there. It has splashes of green (ties to kitchen) and lite blue (ties to gray living/dining walls that look blue lol). I thought I was following the rug rule that allowed for it to be in front of couches. To be honest it was a free rug, and matches the dining room and living room rugs and runner, I thought I was good keeping with the theme lol I actually just put this end table in my Amazon cart. Would something like that work? I have an extra lamp, shown in the living room pic to the right of couch I could put on top of end table. Is an entertainment/ build in look completely out of question? Think it would make room feel small? I will definitely move the pictures lower!!...See Morerosevn2018
