Need help with living room decor. Room is open concept to kitchen
Comments (5)I would start out with a large, beautiful rug in warm colors (terracotta or red Oriental rug mixed with other colors. I feel sectionals often confine you in how to organize your room. I would choose a fabric couch in a neutral, not too dark color (not gray, which is on its way out and not a warm color), and add two chairs in a different color or at least a different material and style. Try to keep the height of these pieces similar. Two end tables in wood (they don't have to be the same, but make sure the heights are fairly similar and a metal and glass coffee table would look great, with table lamps or floor lamps even if you have overhead lighting, which is always harsh. Pick colors from the rug for pillows and you'll have a beautifully coordinated living space. Books, good paintings and some tall plants will add warmth and personality to your room. People too often don't add these elements and then wonder why their rooms look bare and cold. This may be more colorful than you want to go. and this is a small rug because there is carpeting underneath, but it gives you the idea of neutral furniture and how it can be made more lively with accessories, pillows, coffee table styling etc....See Moreneed help with living room layout plz help!
Comments (10)Sheer curtains for the windows. Layout will be tricky because of the FP and the heater/ radiator. I think we’re looking at a couch on the wall with that radiator. Maybe a console behind it to block the box. Or a couch lengthwise. Facing the door. A rug, coffee table, maybe a bench or some chairs. Start with what you can. Very charming home. Love it...See MoreNeed help with living room
Comments (7)First thing you may consider doing is to discover your style. In top HOUZZ search box, put in (one at a time) different styles. Such as transitional, casual, rustic. https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/transitional-casual-rustic-living-room/nqrwns I would not do black and white with warm neutrals. Black and white goes well with gray or with brights. I prefer all cool colors in one room, or all warm colors in one room (for consistency, a unified look, and cohesion). Cool colors: bright white, black, gray, silver, taupe, purple, royal blue, navy, ice cool pastels, bright cool yellow, pine green, forest green. Warm colors: off-white, cream, tan, brown, golden yellow, gold, olive green, orange, peach. Here is a link to a large print for behind your couch: https://www.art.com/products/p57166674781-sa-i2805198/vision-studio-conch-shells-on-navy-i.htm?upi=Q1QM7GA0&PODConfigID=10551919...See MoreNeed Help with Living Room Layout
Comments (8)The amount of seating and placement is not doing your room any favors. Maybe try your settee under window, remove all the items in corner and place one of the matching tables there with a lamp. Place matching chairs facing settee with the second matching table between them and add a coffee table. With wanting to keep chair/ottoman, could you move the curio to the right a bit and place where dining chair is. Ignore the extra two chairs in picture and with your credenza (vs fireplace) it would feel similar to this room....See MoreGirlmom101
