Home Decorating Design Dilemma living room

LIVING ROOM Help- Need Bench and Side Table

4 years ago

Hello! I have been updating my living room and I need a bench to go under my Ballard Design Arch in my living room! The space is 65inches wide.

I have taken pictures of my living room. I would like a more modern theme and to stay away from the rustic barn look. My coffee table is antique white, ballard design coffee table. My couch is nude/tan and my rug is grey pottery barn neutral rug. The Ballard Arch is antique bronze (more black) and the four pictures on the wall are black!

I need a small rectangle next to the couch and would like an accent bench under the arch! I have been going crazy with what to do! I am also open to getting a table behind the couch (needs to be about 84 inches long)!

Thank you in advance! Please let me know your thoughts about a bench, side table and couch console table (what color, what type, where to get it from)!

I do not like mirrors unless they reflect sommething I want to see twice and that mirror does not. With the bench I would do a great piece of art instead. I don’t see the other side of the sofa so have no idea what to put there. But you need lighting the coffee table in white does nothing for the space . Maybe instead of a bench you do 2 small ottomans

Can you post a picture taken from the opposite direction? I would center the sofa on the window and move the end table and lamp to the other side. Pull the chair out of the corner and place it across the room by the other chair with the table and lamp between them. Your coffee table looks like it might not be a good choice with a toddler....glass top and sharp edges, You might want to try a nice large square one (. fake leather) with a removable top for toy storage.

I really Ike the colors and patterns that you have in the space. It is not so easy to combine patterns the way you have done. You seem to have a natural flair for this. I had also thought of a solid ottoman in an orange, as being an interesting possibility. i like the overstock piece, also. I was thinking, with your white sofa + red pieces, a color like this might also work. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Handy-Living-Duncan-Parisian-Tan-Gray-Velvet-Large-Tufted-Cube-Ottoman/8119649/product.html this one is out of stock right now, but just to show the idea/option. Although I might lean towards an untufted piece, since all of your furniture has some tufting detail.

Also wondering if I can get away with putting a rug under the coffee table? Still need an end table for the other end of the sectional. Really having a hard time finding something that looks like it would go in the room.

I think I would have preferred art on that mirror wall too. Or does it reflect some light from windows on TV wall? What would be the purpose of the bench under the mirror. It seems that space behind sofa is a walk-way so I'd be careful not crowding the area with benches or sofa table. Is there room on wall side of sofa for a table? Or would something like a drink table or C-table be a better fit (does the sofa have a chaise end or is that a separate ottoman?)? I like your prints/frames- maybe just a tad high- I think midpoint should be 60" from ground. Is there a color from the prints that you can pull out as an accessory color? I would add that color in a tray or something on the coffee table to help blend the colors better (don't think the whitewash looks cohesive with the sofa and brick wall)
