Need decorating help for living room!
Comments (10)I think I misunderstood your OP and thought you were asking about plantation shutters, but I think now you're referring to perhaps 2" blinds. Since it appears you want to have diffused light, blinds are one way to achieve that if you're ok with the reduced light. You said, "I want to put wood blinds on the two smaller windows, drapes on the large window. Probably put matching valances over the blinds, similar to how I have it now." Is there a particular reason for putting something different on the side windows? I can see that on that big front window, blinds would likely not be able to be raised, so they'd likely have to stay down, but think having blinds & valences on 2 and sheers & panels on one will make the room look somewhat disjointed since there seems to be no obvious reason. I think I'd seriously ck out the jcp.com website because it would allow you to order and try out lots of drapery options without paying return shipping since you can return to a jcp store, and the prices when they're on sale are usually cheaper than making your own. It's hard to force ourselves to take a hard look at how much stuff we put into our rooms. My DD forced me to do that with mine recently, and I have to admit the results are much cleaner looking. Try removing even some of the throw pillows. And back to the family photos--One solution to the desire to have lots of photos out is to get a digital picture frame. They're really nice now--some are nicely matted and can be programmed to turn off and on automatically. You literally can see thousands of pictures of your loved ones over the course of the day without having too many frames around to clutter up your home. Just another option--since pictures up on the top of bookcases really aren't easily seen--just look cluttery. :~) Hope you realize that was meant to be helpful....See MoreI need help to decorate my living room ?!!! plz help

Comments (44)Sounds like you and hubby aren’t on the same page. Buying a table, without ability to return is red flag to me. He bought that rug too without your involvement. The rug is wrong size and style. No photo of the table. But better sit down and talk about this and reach some compromises otherwise, these situations can fester and get ugly over time....See MoreAmelia
