Help! Will these kitchen & dining pieces flow in my open living area?
Comments (4)For the bar stools I like the grey/white better. LOVE the table. Not sure about the black leather chairs, they seem a bit dark. Not sure these would go well together. Your dining room choices are very sleek and modern while the bar stools are more beach or traditional....See MoreHelp tone down the "cool" tones & improve flow with warm kitchen
Comments (62)So, just a quick update. Still waiting on the rug & pillows to arrive. In the meantime a World Market *just* opened up near us and they had cinnamon pillows! I also found a funky wooden "tray" that I liked. Do the old pilllows go? Or do I need to find something else to tie it in? Also, thinking of hitting West Elm tomorrow. Browsing their website I found this cluster of vases I like - might put these on the console. Maybe the mantle? I need something warm on the TV console too.. I also found these blue ones, don't think I like them as much. They also had some cherry wood ones, but I think if I redo the large framed artwork I won't need them up there. Maybe use these for the TV console? Or keep looking? Also saw this chair at World Market that I like, but I'm going to wait until the carpet comes in. It's getting there!...See MoreLiving room and kitchen area not flowing....please help
Comments (11)The key to making spaces flow is to have similar styles and connection with the colors in each space. Your kitchen cabinets are beautiful. The rug in the dining area is beautiful. The sofa and flooring all work together. The table has a country feel to it that doesn't seem to fit with the other two rooms. The art in the hallway is also very country craft, while nothing else seems to have a country flair. The blue gray in the living room is thowing things off. The walls are too yellow and the color of the valance in the kitchen has nothing to do with any other color in the space.The crown molding in the living room is out of place with the rest of the space. I would remove the crown molding and the kitchen valance, paint the walls a light gray green and replace the silver blue grays with green grays in the living room. I would either replace the entire dining set with something more contemporary or paint the white base a dark green gray and get 4 upholstered chairs for around the table. Ditch the entertainment center. It is too dark and massive. A simple tv stand would be better. Now choose a color that you love. Bring that color into the kitchen, dining area and living room with a few pieces. A platter and fruitbowl in the kitchen, some flowers for the center of the table, art, a coffee table book, a vase in the livingroom Add a few throw pillows or a throw. Just enough that the color draws your eye from room to room. When you get new a new coffee table, end tables or ceiling fan, get the same wood as your kitchen cabinets....See MoreFurniture layout?? Flow
Comments (6)Jaimi, I tried to also take into consideration the placement of the fans above and what the architect was thinking when they came up with this floor plan. The sofa is centered between the fans. I think your only option is to place the TV on the big wall and that's OK because then different areas can see the screen. Consider a minimal unit for below the TV Don't really need to store much of anything anymore with live streaming....See Moreeverdebz
