Help me Furnish & Decorate My Living Area &Dining Room of my new home
Comments (26)I love the clean, uncluttered look of your home and you've made some great furniture choices. My first thought, though, is that I would try to rework the sofa/sectional placement. It really is unwelcoming looking to me to have the back where it is facing a wall, when it could be oriented to look into the room and out the windows. It seems like if it were placed in the corner under the stairs that it would feel open and invite you to come in and sit. I'd hate to be cooking in the kitchen and have the family or guests with their backs to me. If you are having a TV in another room close by, do you need one in that room, too? If, so placing a 70" unit will probably only work as you have it. But, to me, it's not going to look like a living room but more like a movie theater, which is fine if that's what you're going for. It seems like it won't be a cozy conversation area, though. I might actually flip the rooms and put the dining room where you have the sofa now. I was looking at lights used with dining rooms and ghost chairs and saw this, maybe would work in the living room? Kind of fun. don't know if it would look as good without the colored walls though. And I thought something like these were interesting to consider for over your table:...See MoreHelp me complete my Entry Way
Comments (14)It is by the front door. I don’t know what my taste would be called. I like a mixture of modern, unusual pieces, distressed look but I have been updating for our house to be updated to sell at a later date. We live in a “cookie cutter”neighborhood and our kitchen is already way high end for our neighborhood. I included pictures of it. I know the wood look is out but our kitchen was just done before we bought it and other than the walls I am not changing anything else....See MoreNeed a home decor piece to complete my entryway
Comments (8)@celerygirl I am thinking that would be the simplest and nicest piece to put on there. I don't like clutter so don't want to have multiple pieces. Any suggestions for places to get such an item? My default is places that I can order from and then return to a storefront. I hate paying return shipping. I'll buy from online only if I am sure about an item. Thanks again. I move very slowly as you can tell....See MoreHelp me decorate my entryway
Comments (12)Beautiful entry. You really don't need anything in it other than a good no slip rug (and no stub/stumble edges). You could keep a small square or rectangle wipe-your-feet-rug and then in area between the cased openings consider adding an interesting round or oval or square one with your favorite colors (also non slip and with no stub/stumble edges). Prefer seeing the radiators. For decor, you don't "need" that shelving; it's higher than the wainscoting and both of them likely could be put to better use elsewhere. Were you using the shelving as a charging station or place to "drop" keys and sunglasses, etc.? because, if so, there is another option that might could work in your limited space -- perhaps a small narrow version of this on the wall. https://www.wayfair.com/Zipcode-Design%E2%84%A2--Jon-Floating-Desk-X115392267-L32-K~W004281156.html?refid=GX528945860062-W004281156_624721285&device=c&ptid=998723531694&network=g&targetid=pla-998723531694&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=130981889&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=624721285&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiarSip278gIVhrzICh1o1w3gEAkYASABEgJU8vD_BwE OR. You could block the view of the end of the radiator from inside the house by adding a pair of small narrow cabinets the same height and depth as the radiators on the indoor side of the entry -- a plant stand cabinet (permitting you to add a living plant or two to the entry) and with at least one drawer that could serve as a charging station (and more drawer or have shelves for baskets for collecting other pocket items). Any cabinet you like that meets your needs could serve the purpose, preferably one portable enough to easily move farther away from the radiator when it is in use: https://www.amazon.com/Cabinet-Bathroom-Multifunctional-Standing-EstaHome/dp/B087QK889H https://foter.com/plant-stand-with-drawer https://www.amazon.com/VIAGDO-Bathroom-Floor-Cabinet-Organizer/dp/B082HWNWV8/ref=pd_lpo_3?pd_rd_i=B082HWNWV8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Stands-Multi-Layer-Drawers-Display-Minimalist/dp/B082H88BSC....See MoreRelated Professionals
