Need help with finishing touches to Dining room
Comments (17)You obviously enjoy restricted palette..I'd add texture and subtle variations of same colors rather than something completely different..you can always change that later if the mood strikes, but for now I can see you like this traditional, calm vibe..reminds me of old Swedish interiors.. I'd add rug, curtains(good advice was given before on taking them as high as you can), a mirror..some rough texture, some velvet or maybe linen, some sparkle and shine..... Again, don't try to match it too hard in terms of the colors-the colors will look slightly different on each texture, and it's a good thing-it adds depth, otherwise the room might feel flat. A plant will bring freshness to the room. They always do)) Now where I would add color-some art. You can depart from your calm vibe there if you wish-almost any great painting or drawing would work. Congratulations on your new place!!...See Morefinishing touches on living room please help!
Comments (52)Thanks Beverly for the suggestions. I’m gonna try moving the table the other way. The light fixture was definitely a mistake size wise but were kinda stuck with it now unless I find someplace else for it in my house and get a new one for there. What’s even more frustrating about it is there is no option to make it lower than that height either. I’m going to go today to look for some things and will try to focus on rounds as opposed to squares I see what you mean. The pillows are from home sense which is actually a new chain from tjmax and Marshall’s. It’s a great store I found a lot of awesome things there! Anybody have any advice re drapes?...See MoreWhat's missing in my living room? Help me put the finishing touch!
Comments (21)Someone said: I believe the Houzz experts (and I am NOT one!) suggest the TV be 2/3 the width of the TV cabinet. No no no no no. The TV cabinet needs to be at least 25% wider than the TV. Wider is always better. There is no minimum size for the TV. Do not hang that guitar between the windows. Do not hang anything between the windows. Your curtains are perfect. Hang the guitar on the wall just left of the TV, get some art for over the sofa, and add just a touch more red to echo the arc lamp (which is tres cool, BTW). You've done a great job so far. You've got this....See MoreI'm clueless about finishing touches... Help me finish my living room!
Comments (6)What a beautiful living room you have made. The credenza under your TV is particularly gorgeous. Here is what I would consider doing if this were my room- just to give you ideas to play off of for a start. I would begin by finding some blue, patterned throw pillows for the sofa and the arm chair. I like Indian block prints. They are classic and fresh. What I have shown is not exactly bargain, Target/Home Goods, but aside from the Ginori, it's not terribly expensive either. Here are some from John Robshaw: And for the blue arm chair, I thought something like this could be fun: Next I would find an orchid or cyclamen for the table by the blue arm chair. I am partial to cyclamens, so here: I would look for a silver cachepot. Here is a simple one from The Enchanted Home. I like how the silver echoes your side table by the sofa. I would like a much simpler/more modern silver cachepot, this is all I could find right now. Then for the coffee table, I would find a few pretty and interesting coffee table books: Assouline, Phaedon, Taschen, Rizzoli all have great, colorful, conversation sparking titles available. It is very common to put stuff on top of books on coffee tables. That is not my thing. I would rather just see something pretty next to the stack of books. Maybe a bowl or a vase in this Ginori pattern (Orientale in azalea): Lastly the table between the sofa and arm chair could use a lamp perhaps. I would look for something sculptural in crystal. Like this from Horchow: Your room is lovely and will come together more and more over time. Don't rush yourself. Wait to find things that really speak to you, so that you infuse the room with your personality....See Moretartanmeup
