Help with living room please
Changing sofa , tv, rug etc it isn’t our main living room but sofa so uncomfortable just don’t use it.
Doggie sits up on top of chair to look out of window 😊
Just don’t know what type of sofa to get love the jewel coloured sofas but I just don’t know what will work.
Any inspiration please, it’s a lovely bright room due to big windows.
I have put pics to show how it looks now.

need serious. help with living room please
Comments (20)Hi Laurie- Your sofas and chair are lovely and I love your round mirror and what I can see of your dining set and the floors are great. Here's the thing- there is too much color repetition in the living room set which is continued in the throw pillows, rug and art work. You need to add interest with color and texture otherwise it boring, which you probably are not! Your sofa and chairs are neutral colors, so they will go with any color in the rainbow. Think about what colors you like, and look for throw pillows in those colors, and get some that combine those colors with texture. Texture in throw pillows can be achieved with velvet, suede, trims, braided fabrics, etc. I would do the same with a rug as well. Are you definitely keeping that piece of art? You could go more interesting with the art over the sofa in whatever colorway you choose. If you tell us what colors you are interested in, perhaps we can give you some choices. This coffee table has a silvery patina and a very interesting texture, and you can add a glass top. This table has a very interesting base, I would stay with a coffee table that is round (or round-ish like the octagon above) because it provides continuity with the beautiful round mirror you will use and breaks up the square shapes of the seating pieces and the art work and and window shapes. These tables also add texture as well, and don't read too much gold, which you don't want because you say your curtains are gold. Too much gold is not good, you don't want to look like Versailles! Your side tables can be round or square. Assuming you want to keep your art work, and assuming that is gold in it, you can accessorize with silver, grey and gold, and mix them together in your rooms because of the silver in your mirror. Your rug is definitely too small. It has to be large enough so that all the furniture can have at least their front feet on it. You can go with the one you have in a larger sizeor pick one with more color. As for throw pillows, it is hard to suggest, because I don't know if you are keeping the art piece, and I don't know what other colors you like, but here are a few pillows that would go with your art piece. Every room can use a little animal print drama- This pillow is in yellow velvet but it reads like gold, which I think is what your picture is. This is dramatic and great, too. You could of course, go way more colorful in your choice of throw pillows and rug, but I don't know what your color tolerance is. This is a bit more daring (and you can use even more color in your pillows if you want!) Can you tell us about your colors preferences?...See MoreHelp with living room please
Comments (9)I have dark hardwood, a darkgrey sofa and leather chairs, and light gray walls. I had a distressed looking rug that I loved because the colors were subtle but it wasn’t large enough. Then I had a grey and cream chevron rug that I loved but it was Cotten and wouldn’t stay in place. Now I gave a huge jute rug that I really like because of the texture. I always get nervous about a lot of pattern in a rug because I know I will get tired of it. It works for us....See MoreHelp with my living room please
Comments (3)You will have to float furniture otherwise, as you are aware, the room looks like a dance hall. As in this inspiration photo, a lovely, full pair of panels on the window will help fill the room. For the other end of the room, fill the wall with built-ins, turn the sofa around, add a rug and the two chairs you have now at the window....See MoreHelp with living room! Please

i don't mind the tv where it is, the curtain is a little squished but you could change to Roman blinds keeping the one focal point with the fire. If you do want to wall hang it maybe consider something like this for over the radiator (to deflect the heat) but a bit deeper and have the front bit as a drawer to hide a sky box etc.
I've got dark and light grey velvet sofas in 2 rooms, they have both survived the dog! I want to "get rid" of the light one but that's her window perch 😂 Loaf, for example, have offered "clever" velvet for ages but introduced clever linen some time ago which is meant to be stain resistant etc. I can't remember any of the companies now but have noticed a lot of "clever" fabrics appearing over the last year or 2. It may be worth getting samples and testing it out on your dog!

4 years agoThank you , not really keen on tvs on walls so will prob just get new stand.
Will check out sofas at weekend, we have fabric sofa in other living room and had no issues with it.
I do like wallpaper it was quite expensive and not had it very long so will probably keep.
I was looking at this window seat what do you think?

4 years agoI think a window seat could be lovely, however your alcove doesn't appear that deep in the photo, and a tv unit may look a bit odd and crowded. You could maybe consider shelves for the tv and sky box?
