thoughts on how I can get a bigger couch in my living room
Comments (11)Is there room for your TV beside the door? I am thinking that is your front door...right? I personally do not like catty cornered furniture but.....If your TV will fit there, your sofa could be on the 12 foot wall with enough room for tables and lamps. Your chair could be where the couch is now If you put a small chest and lamp beside the chair, I think you could put your kitchen table behind it. I think you are going to just have to ignore the curved carpet/floor when you put your furniture down. With a recliner couch (I assume that is what you showed) you will not be able to have a coffee table so maybe the one you have could be put in front of the windows. Keep your space as open as you can so that it doesn't look cluttered. You will find a way to ignore the curve....See Morehow can I make my bathroom look bigger and elegant
Comments (2)No. From the looks of it you really can't fit what you have in there now. Post a scaled floor plan with what is currently there and possibly get more help but definitely no tub from what you have shown here....See MoreHow can I make my couch look less blue, more grey.
Comments (20)Your room is lovely; it's unfortunate that some people get satisfaction from being rude - must make them feel better about themselves somehow. When you put the sample against the couch are they different or the same? Or did you not actually have a sample or just the pic of it. If you don't have a sample, I'd order one and see if they are the same. The color is lovely; I personally think it is much more interesting and livable than a darker gray would be, but that's me, not you. It looks great in your space. Will the store take it back if the fabric doesn't match the sample?...See MoreHow do I make my yellowish sofa look better against the Agreeable Gray
Comments (12)You're the umpteenth person today who's asked for advice without showing the entire room. We don't know what the rest of your furnishings look like, floor color, rugs, furniture, accessories. Need more visual information. .Here's my thread on how to get the most helpful suggestions when you post on Houzz. Good design is holistic, not just a three-foot section of a room. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6067247/design-dilemma-advice-for-first-time-posters Usually the solution to a color incompatibility is to repaint the walls, not replace furniture. Is there a reason you can't repaint to a creamy white that matches your terrific sofa? I don't get why so many people twist themselves into pretzels to stick with gray, gray, gray walls indoors and outdoors even when none of their furnishings goes with gray. Create an Ideabook called "gray and cream living room" and see what pops up. There's a whole thread on "gray living room walls cream sofa on Pinterest." I find the well-designed room below depressing. However, the cream rug, art work, ivory drapes, patterned pillow make it a little dynamic....See MoreJanice Crofoot
