Desparately need help with lighting choices for great room/family room
Comments (6)The fixture above in my post is what I would like to install. The below link is similar to my dining room chandelier now, except mine is bronze with cream glass. I couldn't get the picture to upload. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Progress-Lighting-Renovations-27-25-in-6-Light-Forged-bronze-Etched-Glass-Tiered-Chandelier/50131632 I cannot post a picture of my space, hence the drawing, as it is presently under construction with materials and debris everywhere. I hope this helps....See MoreBurgundy living room needs a facelift
Comments (15)Saadiaq27, the rugs I showed were from a google search on ivory and burgundy rugs. Just wanted to give you a suggestion as I think a lighter background rug would look great against the dark floors and a bit of burgundy to relate back to the furniture. Im not sure about a grey rug, I think warmer tones would suit your space better. Thanks for the extra photos of the other wall. I’m feeling the tv might be better suited on the stairway wall because right now it’s in a traffic zone from door to stairs, then sofa across from it, but floating in room, and think you may need a wider console too. maybe Flo will chime back in, she’s really great at floor plans and gives great decorating advise....See Morecombining family room dining room and family room

Comments (10)Taking out the bar to put in a desk area is a great idea. Build in plenty of storage. I would put the tv on the wall to the left of the alcove, where your sofa is currently, and then rotate your seating so you are facing the tv, and the fireplace, with room to walk behind the seating. That leaves room to put more builtin storage in the back corner near the fireplace. You could expand the storage even more by changing your french doors into your living area into a single door, changing the swing so they open into the living area, or removing them completely. That would also lighten the room. I don't mind the half wall going into your kitchen since you have a different level of flooring between the spaces and you need something there. If you put the tv over the fireplace, the room is cut off by the doorway to the living area and the new office, and the length of the room isn't fully utilized....See MoreTheresa Janssen
