living room help!
I have no idea what to put on either side of the fireplace? Shelving? Pictures? Something not too expensive...the fireplace does not move.
Thank you!!!!

4 years agoThat looks to be a portable FP, so without seeing the entire room, we are not sure you have the best arrangement for watching the fire and TV. The corner TV ruins the balance you're trying to create with the FP as focal point. First, the cabinet it is on should be at least 25% wider than the TV. I would flank the FP with a pair of matching cabinets that are wider than the TV. Put the TV on one of them, setting on a swivel base so you can adjust it for watching. Your seating probably needs rearranging, and i would definitely clear the mantle and remove the sticks.

Comments (35)I had an inspection done, the plumbing and electrical are all up to date, thank God. There is no HVAC but I am going to see how this summer goes before I decide to install it through the house. I live in Virginia and the summers are hot but being up in the Blue Ridge keeps some of the humidity at bay. The windows are original and there are exterior aluminum storm windows covering them. I am hoping and praying that they are sufficient to keep the house from being windy inside. I think the cafe curtains and tension rods will work perfectly while I get settled. I was not planning on working on the exterior of the home right away but it looks like the porch roof will need to be replaced and all of the windows and trim around the exterior need to be painted. The 115 year old wood is exposed. The previous owners did NOTHING in the way of maintenance. The walls have been scribbled and written on by their children, they didn't bother to paint over it. So it has been at least 13 years since any exterior wood has been painted....See MoreRedesign small living room help needed
Comments (12)I would get a light colored low key rug bigger than the one in the photo. Put the TV where the sofa is now, and the sofa opposite that with 2 end tables. A swivel chair for near the back wall, and maybe an accent guest chair on the side with the tv near the dining room. The arched entry to the dining room limits how "sleek and minimal'' you can be, but you certainly don't have to be old fashioned or cluttered. Everything sen below is from All Modern with other colors available...See Morecan someone create a visual for my living room? help
Comments (11)I like the overall feel of the space I agree drapes and much fuller would be nice .I do not like the wall color or the art if getting rid of the gray is the point then get some art with a bit of green it it and something you love to look at . The light does nothing for thstspace the drum shade is okay better than wht you have Ilove this color for walls it is a total neutral for me I cut it 50% if a hint of colar is all you need and before choosing the wall color Get the art and drapes in a color you love then match the paint to the drpe s. I like faux silk for drapes at lest 2.5 times the width of the rod for sure. I then woudl choose fewer pillows in colors from the new art , just think if you need to move pillows to sit you have too many. A rug would be agreat addition again in a color from the art so maybe just a darker shade of a color from ther e....See MoreLiving room help needed!

4 years agoHere is the rest of the room. The couch & love seat are staying. The rocking chair is not and long picture is moving as well out of this space.

4 years agoIMO either of these plans would be a better layout for this room configuration.

4 years agoEither of Beverly's arrangements would be better. If you still want something either side of the FP, you can use matching credenzas and put the TV there. That will give you more floor space for another chair to replace the rocker. When you get around to it, all your photos are hung too high. Guessing a tall husband did that! lol Hang groups or individual pieces centered 5' above the floor or 5" above furniture. I'm not a fan of sticks as decor or the ladder, unless you have a collection of heirloom or sentimental quilts to display there. Another project for the future is to replace the short drapes with some properly hung and the right length.
