It’s a small living room we bought this sofa thinking it was more grey then blue. But it’s more blue. I am trying to find pillows to pull the sofa with the rug and the tapestry. Any recommendations on what pillows? Thank you!

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI would like to see the whole room. Off the bat the lamp needs to go for sure. I think the rug fights with the tapestry . Too many pillows on such a small sofa . I would do a single bolster on each side in silk in a color from the tapestry. A rug that is textured but all one color also from the tapestry.. A lamp not quite that tall with good lighting which BTW you don’t seem to have enough of .A different coffee table and placed so it can be reached form the sofa.

Comments (26)I didn't add any color here, but I did clean up your fireplace wall. Remove everything from the mantel. Add a floor lamp in the corner. Looks like you could use some storage for components, so I added a small chest, no higher than the chair rail, on the left. You can get a surface mount wire mold to hold your cables and direct it along the mantel and down the side. I removed the clock. You can keep it if you need it, but lower it. Nothing should hang that high on the wall. New fan and smaller recliner, same as before....See MoreLiving room and kitchen area not flowing....please help
Comments (11)The key to making spaces flow is to have similar styles and connection with the colors in each space. Your kitchen cabinets are beautiful. The rug in the dining area is beautiful. The sofa and flooring all work together. The table has a country feel to it that doesn't seem to fit with the other two rooms. The art in the hallway is also very country craft, while nothing else seems to have a country flair. The blue gray in the living room is thowing things off. The walls are too yellow and the color of the valance in the kitchen has nothing to do with any other color in the space.The crown molding in the living room is out of place with the rest of the space. I would remove the crown molding and the kitchen valance, paint the walls a light gray green and replace the silver blue grays with green grays in the living room. I would either replace the entire dining set with something more contemporary or paint the white base a dark green gray and get 4 upholstered chairs for around the table. Ditch the entertainment center. It is too dark and massive. A simple tv stand would be better. Now choose a color that you love. Bring that color into the kitchen, dining area and living room with a few pieces. A platter and fruitbowl in the kitchen, some flowers for the center of the table, art, a coffee table book, a vase in the livingroom Add a few throw pillows or a throw. Just enough that the color draws your eye from room to room. When you get new a new coffee table, end tables or ceiling fan, get the same wood as your kitchen cabinets....See MoreNeed help with small, narrow living room with fireplace
Comments (24)I did read them. We were looking for a firm sofa and plan to go more cozy with the chairs. I've ordered the sofa and am now looking at these swivel chairs and either putting an ottoman with one or doing a large ottoman in the middle. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/quincy-swivel-armchair-aflm1135.html?piid=29063498%2C31780490 https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/vineland-swivel-armchair-lfmf4554.html?piid=32246688 I think I like the first one better....See MoreNeed help - how to furnish this small living room?
Comments (3)You might try flipping the dining room and living room areas. We think the TV might work well on the blank wall where you have the dining room. Then we might place the dining room table on the angled wall next to the kitchen. See our designs here for a few other design ideas....See Morenjmomma

3 years agoThe space is very small! We are here just for the year. It’s more like a house condo. All of our furniture is big so we purchased this couch and table off of market place. I am needing to create a warm and welcoming peaceful space. This house has the main floor and a larger basement tv room as well as all the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. This space is 14x14 feet.
