Pillow suggestions to finish family room, PLEASE
I need pillow ideas.
"Just like this, but different" This is my inspiration pic, but my room has a chocolate brown sectional for cozy lounging. I need pillows - Should I use solids in gray and cream ?
OTHER ITEMS in the Room:
-The "peacock mirror" is surrounded by four gray driftwood framed Black Sea Fans on cream silk
-The square Chinese leg coffee table is red-brown.
--A vintage brass tray sits on the coffee table displaying white corals and open work ceramic lantern
- beige gray walls
-the nautilus shell can be displayed in another room .
What do you think of this cream pillow? It mimics the mirror over the fireplace. Would this work?
Some might say this is an outdated look, but this reflects our story. We had the black seafans on our wedding cake. The morning he proposed, we went to a garden and the peacocks chased him. The birds misinterpreted his blue and green plaid jacket, according to the groundskeeper.
(I want to change the house for winter from a warm weather brown blue green decor scheme. )

Can you suggest a green paint for this family room?
Comments (24)Thanks for doing that Chloe! The first one is what I had in mind. I think something that says blue/gray/green (in that order) would work. Remember, it does not have to match the color in your carpet. Your eye will make up the difference. A place to start would be 689 Rhine River, 696 Pleasant Valley and things right around that neighborhood. If they're too vivid for you, jump to Quiet Moments 1563 and Gray Wisp 1570 and their neighbors....See MoreIn search of brown/blue pillow for family room
Comments (5)I agree with Barnes Custom Builders. You have a lot of brown going on in the room already, and having rug, art, and cushions all in brown and blue will be overwhelming and too "matchy matchy". I'd look for blue patterned/textured cushions, maybe on Etsy. I'd even consider adding a second, complementary shade of blue. I'd also think about adding a table lamp with some blue, or a brass (not silver or chrome or black finish) floor lamp, to add some warmth to the room....See MoreFamily Room Area Rug, Coffee Table, Pillows & Lighting
Comments (8)Replace the torchiere with a floor light that direct some light down. Move the sectional away from the windows Do not swag your drapery panels Replace the wall art with a size more appropriate for the space Lower the TV Get a longer media cabinet or one that floats on the wall Move the orange lounge chair out from the corner Add an accent table next to the lounge chair Provide a flexible coffee table, maybe one that lifts up if necessary Select an indoor outdoor light colored rug to brighten the area that can withstand kid usage....See MoreFinish my Family Room Please
Comments (5)First, consider your use of the space. What do you do here and what do you need to do it? Do you want to separate the space into a TV watching zone and play area? Draw out your space on paper to scale and play around with the furniture layout if you don't find it optimal. At first glance, my thought was remove everything from the mantel and the bookcase between the windows. As maddielee said, clearing the surfaces of decorative elements will help "tidy up" the space quickly. Hang a piece of large-enough art above that bookcase to draw the eye up and around the room. What about a large storage ottoman in a sturdy material as a "coffee table"? Something (with round edges, of course) to store toys and princess dresses. What does the anchored bookcase hold? If it has open shelves, perhaps you can use it for nice baskets that store toys....See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoNot a fan of that pillow for "cozy lounging". Too shiny,too formal. Cozy for me is more lush,more textured like sherpa, velvet,leather,suede,chenille. That said,something like these from Pottery Barn might suit your preferred grey and brown neutral palette.
There are also many geometric & mudcloth options within that restricted palette.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years ago. Not sure of what pattern to use. Should the pattern mimic the tray's ripples, or should it echo the honeycomb aspect of the peacock. mirror, or be zebra stripe to mimic the nautilus shell pattern or solid light and medium tones to soften the contrast between solid dark sectional or should it be ochre /brassy? The old decor scheme had ikat wall art with color ccoord pillows, so I'm leaning away from that.
Re:PICS
Sorry, but I can't take a pic, as no memory left. Unable to delete work project pics or send to cloud.. An old realtor listing pic won't be accurate as to elements of the room. Trust me when I say this is a small space that just fits the sectional, with a one solid wall for artwork, one wall for the big tv, and another wall of windows, no rug, no end tables, no lamps, just a coffee table. which is why I created a mood board.
I can post pics of what I have.
