Living Room Advice Please

4 years ago

Hello,

Can you help me to with changing ssomethings in my Living room.? One of the things I want to changes it the coffee table. Any other suggestions would be great taken to heart. I'm stuck and ready to finish this room. The sofa table that is behind sofa is the one that is in picture. I was wondering if the accent peace in another color would look better than the table that is in picture.. I'm looking for the coffee table that goes with table but has been discontinued. But one of the Haverty stores has a floor model in another city. But I have to wait until stores open unless I can find another one.

Thank all of you for your advice!

I would switch the mirror with the iron piece. The mirror is only reflecting the ceiling not worth it.

Turn the sofa on the right to face the FP making an L. Move the sofa table behind it.

I think you need a rug.

Curtain panels on window hung about 10" above window

Fix the throw on the sofa so it looks like someone can sit without moving it

I agree to move the sofas to form an L then a square coffee table , get a piece of art for above the mantel, a rug would be nice some pattern on the pillows in colors taken from the rug and drapes for sure. I think the throw is fine where it is . The wall color is kind of blah and really does not work with the sofas IMO. I think the sofa table you have is fine the white one will beging to take your space into a different style .

If it was my room I would get the chairs in a light blue. But you have to get what suits you. I also want to buy furniture that I have sat in and know that I find comfortable. But lots of people order online. It's up to you. I would look for swivel chairs that I like and look at the fabric options. Just now I looked online and didn't find a lot besides solid neutrals which I think would be very hard to be sure would work with your sofa. Macy's is having some good sales on their Quick Ship items but they can't be returned to the store, have to be shipped back. I would look at stores in your area to really see what you are getting. blue chair at Macy's blue chair at overstock Wayfair swivel chair

Yes, I’m sorry. I had uploaded 4 photos when I posted the question. Not sure why that’s not showing. I will try again.

LOL @Flo Mangan yes for sure it’s scary in that picture!! IRL I’d not just leave it on in the dark by itself like that - just to show how tall the effect is (more gravitas to balance that built in)..... when the console lamps are on, the effect is quieter and didn’t photograph. Agree, about not filling every space. It starts to feel busy. I like it calm but don’t want it to look sparse. It is a good start and not sure when or how I will do more. You know how hard it is when you move and have a million things to do and get. I don’t think they are wrong about the console not being long enough, but just tossing it out and buying something new isn’t how I roll. It’s different and I like it. If you see the right pillows (or lamps for that matter), I’d love your input. If you see my inspiration photo in the original post, it’s a light room, and I don’t want to kill that mojo. Wish I had a decent camera to show that the room isn’t dark at all.

This is a toughie. Are you open to possibly reworking your layout. I don’t think this room is conducive to tv watching and having a separate area for toys. The location is great tho. The one thing I’d consider doing here is combining the play area with the tv area and couches. And the rest of the room should be more formal. What do you think of that?

Take advantage of your tall ceilings. Flip the mirror and replace the colorless wall decor with a canvas

That looks so much better. To 'finesse' this new look, I would add a generous sized area rug with rich accent colors to use in couch pillows and other accents. If you decide to repaint the walls, you can use the accent rug as color inspiration for that as well. I also think an accent chair angled from the corner near the nook with that has the large potted plant would balance out the two sofas. I would choose a large square coffee table in a dark wood that would echo the feel of the sofa table. I have used the following sources to purchase affordable area rugs, pictures, etc: At Home (used to be Garden Ridge Pottery), Hobby Lobby, Kirklands, Joss and Main, Overstock, Wayfair, and Birch Lane. Some people have a lot of luck with Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Your home is lovely, and you are making it lovelier. Good luck!

So the sofas ended up in an L because of the console table? ....Hmmm...To my eye the L shape is a huge visual barrier to the access of the seating area. Do you have the space to move the sofas away from the fireplace?

Look at sites like these for art:

minted.com

art.com

bigcanvas.com

also local galleries of course you can't do that now but something to look forward to when we are able to be out and about again
