Coastal Living Room Help
Comments (24)Melrose your instincts are all good. I especially like your first two pillows with either of the combinations above it. As a scuba diver, the first one speaks to me of the strange and beautiful undersea world without screaming anemone. I like that your references aren't too literal. Trust your eye and choose what appeals to you....See MoreLiving room help! What kind of rug to use in my living room?
Comments (3)What are the big red scratch-outs? Furniture you aren't keeping? First step is the couch, second is the rug and third is the paint. Paint color should be based on fabrics and textiles (seating and rug) in the room. It can be custom blended, but the furniture is set in stone. When you shop for the rug, it should be 2-4 feet wider than the sofa. Slip it under the front 1/3 of the sofa and have it extend past the ends by 1-2 feet. You can use painter's tape on the floor to figure out the best size for your sofa and room. I'd replace the dining rug too, so the two are coordinated. In addition, push your TV credenza against the wall and put the TV on a swivel base to adjust for viewing....See MoreModern+Farmhouse+Coastal? Need help with living room design!
Comments (7)very nice room. The rug and that chair work, the sofa in the white is meh. (definite no in that gray color). but I think you can do better. I would have gone w/crisper whites and blacks and warmer grays. Maybe that PB rug is nicer in person, but in the photo the color looks really muddy. I like the ones in this pic,,,deep charcoal, whites, grays, touch of light aqua.. and this table For rug, I'd do a coloring like this one, or some of the others in the pics I love your floors and thing you should bring in some wood in your sofa, even if it is on the modern side. Like this: A walnut, style sofa like this, in a navy, charcoal, very light gray,,,would be perfect more blacks/charcoal, crisp whites, some texture, don't know what the plans are for the sides of the fireplace, but here are some ideas...See MoreHow to add Coastal flair to my family room
Comments (12)Do you have a place (garage or basement or back yard to paint the metal furnishings white instead of black -- or invest in a plastic painter's tarp and paint them with a brush in lieu of the easier spray paint? Adding some beach vibe to the cushions with iron on patches stitched to them could further that objective for the room. https://www.google.com/search?q=iron+on+beach+appliques+and+patches&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjH7ubI9tLqAhUlZjUKHbkIB2EQ_AUoAnoECA0QBA If those cushions are "extra seating" for visiting youth or limber young adults, see if several of them would fit beneath the coffee table. If you change out your throw pillows, you might keep white or a really light blue in them -- or jut add a cover or patch/badge to one side of those you now have. Rather than put a tv on a heavy piece of furniture, consider a portable stand -- something a summer beach rather than a full time residence might have. https://www.google.com/search?q=portable+tv+stand&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwia0tXK99LqAhXMFN8KHc30DSEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=portable+tv+stand&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQDDICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAOgYIABAHEB5Q0CNY7C9grz9oAHAAeACAAXeIAZAHkgEDNS40mAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=4-MQX9rUO8yp_AbN6beIAg&bih=654&biw=1366&client=firefox-b-1-d#imgrc=dAiT69MgIL8VfM Is your coffee table one with a Formica top attached via screws to a removable metal base? If so, you might swap out the current dark top with a light colored built board ( preferably one with rounded corners) and/or you could add a (carefully measured ) glass top to what you have and fill the area beneath the glass with beach pictures -- instant lighter look....See MoreRelated Professionals
