Help! How can I make my new couch look better??
Comments (44)I like the sofa but it needs space.....consider emptying the room of anything on wall, table, or mantle so it is basiccally empty, and place items removed on dining room table for future reference. Put the sofa on any wall where it has room for end tables. Put the chair where it can have a conversation with the sofa. At this point I would redo the curtains to coordinate with the wall and do them in a linen type weave. Remove the crystal chandelier and replace with something simple and maybe oil rubbed bronze. Go shopping for a large piece picture in a simple or frameless style that blends with the plaid pillow; take the pillow with you if necessary. So far so good. If you have end tables and a cocktail table put them in the room only if you like them. If they are wood that should be fine. Send us a picture of the whole room taken from another room so we can see the size etc of the room. I am showing this inspiration room because it is very simple with very trad furniture, but the mantle is very low key and would work nicely in your living room style I think. Also note the colorful throw on the arm chair. This is same room, but wood tables and metal cocktail table, simple window treatments in tones found in living room, and antique armoire that is similar to your Moms tallish piece by fireplace. TV opposite sofa and easy chair for great viewing This looks great; metal table, magazine rack in oil rubbed bronze, brass Pharmacy lamp for reading. Would work next to Mom's chair......these items can be found on line at Ballard Design and other places too; overstock.com, wayfair.com with great prices and great selection. Plaid pillows, one bright color pillow and another item in room (the end table, but could be lamp, vase, picture) done in a bright color to match pillow in intensity. And the upholstered ottoman adds a fun touch, but sized to match the sofa. Again a rustic trad feel with a pair of large photos over sofa. Great ottoman, lamps, footstool. Pillows match colors in photos of family members.... These are just inspiration but it might help you select the items that the room needs to frame and support the sofa style and colors. Nothing set in stone but a place to begin....See MoreI need help deciding what stain color would look best on the deck.
Comments (3)I would have left the entire deck light and natural, let it complement the mortar and fit with the natural outdoor environment, but since you have already stained the top rail you may be stuck with staining the entire deck. I would start with stripping the stain from the top rail and see how it impacted the color. Then I would re-stain with something that has a more natural feel, (Walnut, Chestnut)...See Morewhat wall colors would pair best with this rug?
Comments (4)I think blues and greens can work well together. I couldn’t find anything exactly like your room, just wanted to show the two together. I look at rugs as floor art and don’t feel they have to perfectly match everything in certain cases....See Morewhat grout color would look best??
Comments (2)Accent tiles in the hood area are not "in fashion" right now. Just an fyi. Also, how do you plan to separate the 2 patterns? A frame with pencil liner? Personally I don't like when one cut pattern butts up to another cut pattern, without a border/frame between them. For the white tile I would match the grout exactly to the backsplash and probably use the same white for the hexagons. You are going to have a lot of pattern going with veins/stripes for the counters and hexagons and rectangles for the backsplash...See MoreRelated Professionals
