Comments (17)Consider true white for the walls and ceiling, then go with a darker neutral for the flooring/rug and add color with your other upholstered furnishings. Use white mini-blinds within the window frame for privacy, if needed so you can limit curtain/drapery panels to covering only the side of the window frames and the wall beside the windows -- leaving as much natural light as possible entering the room. Trying different bulbs in existing light fixtures and/or adding floor lamps in the corners could be worth considering....See MoreI can't solve living room dilemma. Please help!
Comments (2092)Well, I certainly couldn't have done ANY of this without all of you. I am so happy looking around my new rooms. My favorites: the furniture placement (of course), the art wall, the mantle, the 3 vases on the black tray on the table (although there may be too many flowers in them at the moment), the fabric covered shade in the dining area. the sofa table bookcase, the fireplace screen... I'm going to interrupt myself because now it seems I'm just listing all the changes. It's obviously too hard to pick just 2 or 3 favorites. Theresa, your peonies are gorgeous -- loving the size of those blooms! I hope to follow all of you as you move on to new projects. I consider each one of you a new friend....See Morei’m having a living-room dilemma
Comments (7)I believe 2 chairs offer more flexibility vs a loveseat. heres a couple ideas, both neutral but different neutral colors and different styles. one chair facing the window with a side table that can service the sofa and the chair. another chair angled into the room at the window, hard to tell how much room you have but it seems like you have enough roommfor 2 chairs...See MoreLiving room dilemma
Comments (8)@Sara Nicole I like your last rendition much better! Keeps the dining area close to kitchen - better flow for serving clearing etc. Is the door to left of entry a bedroom? I would float couch closer to the chairs giving it more distance from entry. This would also give you room to add a table in space between entry door & corner for coat rack, or table etc to define entry. Floating more lenght of couch back into the open space past wall also gives the opportunity to place a narrow console talble behind couch to set a lamp on, place a tall floor plant etc & further separate the dining area from seating. If you don’t have furniture yet, you’ll need to choose wisely with all room measurements in hand! ETA not sure about chaise - that’s the very last thing I’d purchase after the sofa & really comfy chairs!...See MoreIzzy Mn
