Comments (28)A statement art piece above the fireplace would be a natural focal point. Try picking at least one color from the artwork and repeating it in details around the room. Also resist the urge to choose an art piece that lines up with mantel edges. Use a piece that is narrower or wider to ensure that the artwork is a feature and not just an extension of the fireplace....See MoreLiving room paint color help needed- my navy sofas look black!
Comments (6)I love your rug. I had BM Shaker Beige with some navy (but it never did look black) which was very warm. Maybe give that a try?...See Moremy living room needs your help please
Comments (2)You have some nice pieces, but it's difficult to see how your room is arranged in these photos. Ideally, you want your seating grouped together for conversation. The painting you did on your stairs looks good. Leave the rest stained. I wouldn't paint the end table - it looks good with your navy sofa. Try using navy and tan as your main colors, with just a few pops of the red that you have in your lamp and rug. I don't see yellow or orange working at all. You should move the end table, lamp, and plant at the bottom of the stairs. That area should be completely clear. You can likely move the table and lamp to the side of your sofa where you have your metal end table, and maybe the metal end table can become a plant stand for your floor plant somewhere else....See MoreRelated Professionals
