Decor and colour help to modernise drab living room
Comments (13)Hi, Ellie. I couldn't get your measurements to true up exactly, but the below is very close to scale. Take a look at the arrangement and see if it appeals to you. For the major seating, it's got a standard size sofa, an apartment sized sofa and two smaller scale armchairs. Measurements are on the seating pieces. Try to stay within those measurements. One seating area is for TV watching with the small scale sofa and the other is for entertaining/conversation - with a standard size sofa. If you go with swivel chairs, most everyone will have a view of the TV. TV is to the left of the fireplace, in your current dining area. As recommended, take some blue painter's tap and map the dimensions out on the floor. That will show you if the sizes will work. Nancy Ingram has great guidance on elements that work well for smaller spaces, so really consider them as you make your selections....See Morecolour of drapes for Balboa Mist living room walls

Comments (6)I think if you paint everything white, the hutch will look less dated to you. I would wait to paint the hutch and see if you like it after painting the walls. Paint makes a big difference in how you perceive furnishings. I like to to think of home decorating like weddings: “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” - that’s what adds charm. The hutch will bring warmth and naturalness if you leave it as is. Painting everything can feel cold and sterile. You want balance....See MoreHow to add colour to living room with odd slanted walls?
Comments (14)I guess, the bird of paradise would have to be the one to find a home for, if it is causing the rest of the room to look off balanced. Maybe it could go outside for summer months, and inside during winter. I also agree, on a large painting of some kind (doesnt have to be expensive), in colors you like for the room, rather than all those smaller pictures on the left side of the room, and the shelf unit that is on the blue wall, should be centered on the wall, not all pushed to one side. All the plants under the side windows, could be clustered together, in an arrangement, instead of just lined up along the wall. Its a challenging room, but, it can be done. :-)...See Morekandrewspa
