I need to add color to my boring living room. New build
Comments (28)A statement art piece above the fireplace would be a natural focal point. Try picking at least one color from the artwork and repeating it in details around the room. Also resist the urge to choose an art piece that lines up with mantel edges. Use a piece that is narrower or wider to ensure that the artwork is a feature and not just an extension of the fireplace....See MoreLiving Room Paint Color Recommendations
Comments (5)Your color cues should come from your rug, as it is the largest element and will tie everything together. When I zoom into the rug I can see some light blues and greens. BM Wickham Gray is a pale, low-chroma, near-neutral from the Green-Yellow Hue family. Depending on your light it might lean more blue or more green. It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but it gives you a start. Look at your rug, and tone down the colors you pull from it for your wall . From there you can pick the color for your chairs, perhaps a deep green, or blue, also in your rug. Pillows and art that include to rug colors will bridge the two sides together. And if you are brave enough, bring one of your color choices into the dining room chairs....See MoreDecor recommendations for living and dining room needed
Comments (164)If you are going for color I agree with the one on the left from Beth. However, I still think the black and white is a good option with each one taking you in a different direction. When I look at the photos from further back, I see lots of texture in the pillows on the leather sofa and it seems the natural vibe in the living room currently is complemented better with the black and white. With this direction the nod to the stained glass could perhaps be introduced with some amber and teal accessories but maybe not the pink. If it was me I would complete the vignette with the black and white, the plant arrangement, etc. and live with it for a while. Hope this makes sense and helps....See MorePlease help with my living room. I need to create an style balance
Comments (20)Let's begin in the foyer, and let me know what you think about these ideas. How about exchanging the table and mirror for a shoe cubby similar to this? it holds 12 pair of shoes and is about 25" wide and 27" high. Then hang a tall slim mirror above it to draw more light from the window into the dark foyer. I love your blue art! Do you want to continue with that blue as an accent? How about adding another color that is its compliment; thinking orange for a pop. This contemporary rug is 6 x 9 so it would be slim enough for the space you have available between the armoire and the sofa. Just place the front feet of the sofa on it and I think it will work. You can tape it out with painter's tape to see how it might fit. Continue to mix your styles with an IKAT pillow featuring the colors. Here's a solid you can have monogramed Not sure you really have room for a coffee table, but this bench could float in front of the window between the two built-ins. You could move your chair left of the sofa, floating to face the window. Here's a mirroor that is slim enough for over the shoe cubby and tall enough too. The pattern adds another layer of interest....See Moremarkliman
