Feedback on living room ideas, please
Comments (2)Are you going for a kind of Sarah Richardson cottage-white look or something reminiscent of shabby chic? I think white rooms are great with soft light, but I could never bring it off. I think your fireplace would throw in a challenge in making it work. For your slip-covers, I would do both the duck and velvet if the budget allows. You want to be comfortable year round and velvet is just too warm for summer. It would be divine this time of year, though! If only one is in the budget I would do duck. It's easy to warm up with pillows or throws for the autumn and winter. I like the tin together. It makes more of a statement and they make sense as a unit. Be careful with the paint choice, though. It could end up making the tin look "dirty" instead of "distressed". Sometimes whites are hard to bring together!...See MoreLiving room feedback. How would you improve this room?
Comments (43)I've been under the weather for the last few days, so wasn't able to act on any of the additional suggestions until today. Thank you so much to everyone for the feedback, pointing out both the good and the bad. Today I moved a few things around. I decided to concentrate my efforts of lighting, as I think this will help us to enjoy the room more. The new additions are just stand ins, while I look for the right lamps and plants etc. I will also look for better wall art by the love seat and go to Benjamin Moore to look for a warm neutral that's lighter for the walls. I also liked the suggestions to replace the several small accessories with larger ones. And also to try to incorporate the window seat into the room more somehow. I was thinking of trying more colorful cushions on it, to tie it in and make the eye travel back there more. I will keep the points about the tables in mind for when it's time to look at new furniture. Thank you again so much! I feel so much better about this room already! I will start a new thread if/when I have specific questions about lamps or pillows. Thank you!!...See Morelooking for feedback - Kitchen/Living room
Comments (32)I love your kitchen and especially those beautiful floors! How about painting only upper cabinets a warm white, black hardware. I once had a home with those floors, high end cabinets, very custom. The next year I ran into the next homeowner who delightfully showed me pics of their “renovations”. All the quality materials ripped out and replaced with crap. I will never recover from seeing those pics 😢...See Moreliving room media console feedback
Comments (3)Totally agree with what jck910 said regarding color. But would add, if there is someone in your family (in my case it is my spouse!) who never seems satisfied with the size of the TV, then you might want to go 50% larger than your current TV....See MoreEm
