Open floor plan needing a cohesive modern look
These are pics of my living room and dining room which is pretty much one big room, including the kitchen. Ok i just moved and trying to decorate my home. I dont know how to make everything I have look good. I dont want to buy a new dining room table right now and really hoping I can just incorporate what i have and get pieces to compliment the space. Its an open floorplan and im going for a more modern contemporary look. Living room furniture is new and dining room set is old. oh the kitchen is next to the dining room and i have white cabinets for reference. The bookcase and table under the TV are just there as place holders. i have 2 96in black mounted stairway bookcases from CB that I think will go on both sides of the TV. Any help would be appreciated

last yearlast modified: last yearLet's start with the dining area. The curtains and rods have to go. Open concept, treat all windows the same.
Dining room rug is the wrong size. No rug needed, but try it with the sectional.
Dining room table, turn it the other way with two arm chairs on either end.
Art goes.
Paint the table the same white as the sectional in a high gloss finish.
The t v wall, that is a major to your design. The sectional is large...the t v wall has to mimic it in size.

Mid Century Modern open floor plan...design ideas? Please help me!!!!!
Comments (6)This is my living room....11ft wide by 19ft long (from the stairwell.) We are struggling to find a furniture plan that will work with this long and open living room. The picture is taken from the front door entry. On the left wall (which you cannot see) is a large living room window 4'x8'. We are hoping to have a built-in constructed wall to wall on the far end of the living room. Cabinets on the bottom, shelving on the top, and an opening for our media. We need the storage for our young family of five. Around the stairwell to the right is an open doorway to the kitchen. On the far back right is the dining room--which is open to the kitchen. Right now we have a very small sofa (~50") floating at the closer end of the room. Two chairs are to the left under the window. It works but it feels like a waiting room! I'd like to have a console table on the narrow wall to the right (between the opening to the dining room and walkway to the kitchen.) I'd like to have this room sit 4-5 people as we're planning on finishing the basement to represent more of a lounge space for the family....See Morelooking for open concept floor plan
Comments (4)OP - I doubt you'll get much help with such an open-ended question. There are thousands of plans out there for 2000 sq ft homes, but whether they would suit you or not is impossible to say because whether or not a house "works" or not is dependent on a whole range of factors specific to you. Things like family size, location, topography of the land, stylistic preferences and of course budget all need to be cosidered. For example, I live in a 2000 sq ft contemporary house which works well for 2 seniors and for the very small, very narrow city lot it sits on, but would be ridiculous on a 2 acre plot in the country, unsuitable for a growing family, a nightmare for a lover of traditional homes and unaffordable for someone with the budget for a starter home. What I'm saying is, just pointing you to an on line plan would be a waste of everyone's time until you yourself have a clearer idea of what you want....See MoreNeeding to put in a stairway right in the middle of an open floor plan
Comments (27)The biggest problem for me is the property around here is not easy to come by. The lots are all very small because of Lake Erie. You either have to build a two story home to have space or a very small one story. The other alternative is putting a manufactured home on the lot; which is what is on the lot now. We want to donate it to a veterans group and have it moved off of the property in order to build a house. The mobile home sits so high, we are going to put a small lift in so I can get up to the porch easier until we get everything ready to begin building. The population up here triples in the summers. Many million dollar homes sit empty all winter. We are up here all year and we are on a much tighter budget, so we have to make due with the small lot. Fortunately, we don’t care about boating because we are too busy working making canvas enclosures for other people’s boats. I have only been up here 3 years. I grew up in central Ohio, but lived the last 40 years in Little Rock, Arkansas, so all of this is new for me. I appreciate all of your Suggestions and they have helped Me know where I nred to get more information before going to an architect. I don’t want to end up with something I won’t be happy with....See Moreorganic modern/warm minimalist open floor plan
Comments (106)The image with two 24x36 is not quite it. Too small. I can't decide if three will be the right proportions. I'm assuming you're using hangers that have been left there, as the bottoms of the art are too low. You could put painter's tape in the finished size on the wall to get an idea of the scale. Taller? def wider, more square?...See MoreOctavia Jones

last year@elcieg Thank you for the suggestions. I agree with the art, it needs to go, but I don't know what to put on the walls.. I'm in the process of getting art I came across these or something similar that may look good. I'm waiting on them to come to see what would look good and in which room... That is a 75 inch TV, what size do you think should go there?
To maybe to tie the in the wood from the table or the other in the living room to add color?

last yearAn illustration of some of the ideas proposed... White curtains installed near the ceiling, take down the horizontal blinds, replace your chairs with white or light beige upholstery, you don't really need a rug in the dining room but I would suggest one for your living room (that goes under the sofa, not sit in front), a few throw pillows with some of the colours in the rug, artwork on the walls. Your dining room furniture is more of a traditional style while your sofa is quite modern so I would replace the diining room chandelier for a more updated look. Your fan can also be a more modern design. A long sofa table with lamps would be nice, you don't seem to have much lighting inthe room. Also, a coffee table. Here are some of the ideas ...
