Need suggestions to warm up Family Room
Comments (5)First -- consider switching to a warmer tone on the walls -- one that is still "neutral" -- but perhaps a warmer deeper taupe, warmer brown-gray etc. And yes - consider artworks -- go to art.com -- and simply browse through their categories .... always a good way to find ones that might appeal to you. For example (JUST an example) -- try browsing through the "Abstract" category -- I've included a hot link to take you right there ..... look for ones that have that wonderful blue, silver etc. Yes -- consider adding a bit of a pop of warm color with a glass bowl -- full of oranges or lemons or even limes (just a way to TRY out a color!) OR take a red sweater or bright pink tee-shirt -- and simply cover one of the pillows. See how the color works for you! "Texture" is another way to add warmth to a room ..... try switching to a dark woven tray on the ottoman OR a couple of dark baskets on a shelf or bookshelves etc. Here is a link that might be useful: art.com -- Abstract category...See MoreHow do you warm things up w/o rugs and curtains?

Comments (8)If you love the blue, then a sapphire sofa in velvet would not be amiss.....add a pair of lounge chairs in a bright turquoise, hot pink, bright orange, neon yellow. I think a rug in grey and white would add brightness and block some of the dark flooring. Large modern are with your room colors would be great....it if often suggested on Houzz that large art can be hung and then all the colors taken from the art work an be used to design the room. A lot of white works nicely with silver and cream. Keep the grey but add two colors all over the room Cherry red with black white grey accents Subtle yellow/cream/honey and white Lime and grey and white Tres chic if you like traditional Bright blue sofa with pop of orange....See MoreNeed furniture/rug suggestions - dining room and living room
Comments (11)Hi there - I’m considering Flagstaff Oak and I was wondering if you feel like it looks gray or what is the overwhelming tone? Do you feel it? It is warm at all I’m trying to match some very light cabinets and I’m having trouble. I looked into the Stanton LVP. Your picture is the best when I can fine but it’s still so hard to get a feel for the tone. Any help is greatly appreciated....See Moredsimber
