Please help me love my living room!!!
Comments (23)That table could work.I like it better with the blue Oushak than the red Heriz, though. You're asking for a casual look in a room with fairly ornate furniture, a crystal chandelier, a great big fireplace with a Moroccan mirror, traditional lamps and bookcases down the hall. I'm not sure it's possible without starting over. Besides, I don't find traditional tribal rugs particularly formal....See MorePlease help fix my living room layout and style (boho)
Comments (4)Hi Salonva, thank you! This is my first ever layout I’m planning, so I’m super excited for new thoughts & ideas. Rug dimensions: 5.3’ x 7.3’ Sofa length would be around 6’ to leave at least 6 in. on each side. I might forget the table and just do 2 boho poufs instead....See MoreHow to fix this living room?

Comments (30)It is not the color of your rug, or the style of dining table you have , or the walls the wrong color. Your dilemna is that each and every one of your walls is occupied with something....a shelf, a fireplace or those two sconces. Unless you are willing to do some major reclaiming of one of the walls, you dont have any place to put a tv, except awkwardly to the side of the fireplace. I would suggest to you to rethink your expectations of your room and rethink it's possibilites. You said it was a second area, so assume you have a larger area that has a tv in it. You dont have to make a smaller area just like the other larger one. Forget the tv in there. Forget trying to stuff another tv into this little space where there really are so few options for it . So many of us spend time on our streaming devices, anyway. Maybe concentrate on making what you have as comfortable of a place to sit with your ipad as you can, or read a book, or put together a puzzle , or sit and knit, or any number of possibilities. You might also consider putting some good sized sofa table that will entice you to actually use it to lay something out on to look at or do engage with. It looks like a modern home, so why not assign a modern use to a room. So much of the past focused around either the fireplace or the tv. Things are different now. Out tech doesnt require a whole wall with surroud sound. Make it comfortable and keep it casual and do you really need another tv? Maybe it will be better with the ipad and a pair of bluetooth ear buds. You are not going to win with the battle of these walls. Dreaming of the possibilites that it could become sure seems more pleasant that scratching your head and worrying about how to work with these impossible logistics to make it into something that you dont need, and might not even really want. And, about those sconces...they are not going to go away , gracefully. Take a second consideration of them and think about what are thier best qualities. I think that they are very good for focusing light on what is below them, with the added advantage of not needing a wire and plug to travel over to the outlet and not having to occupy space on the desktop or the floor or the side table. The way that you have them is not using them to their best advantage. Do you really need the surface of the credneza lit up? Probably not. I would suggest that you think about using the space under those sconces for a sofa, or a chair, or a small desk with some drawers and a comfortable chair. Put one of these right up under those sconces against that wall and then you will be getting the best use of those sconces. Dont fight it. Find it's best and use it to your advantage. Along with the comfort , you also need some softer lighting throughout the space. Bare bulbs are almost never a good idea and over head, even recessed, is best for utilty or public spaces. You have a comfortable looking sofa and a nice comfy chair. You have some nice shelves. The fireplace is of questionable value in my opinion, but that is a different subject. You have so much already there, but just suggest that you rethink what you want from this space. It is a nice space and your home looks nice and modern and comfortable. This room could be a great casual space with a modern usage rather than another homage to the tv screen....See MorePlease help me make over my living room
Comments (13)Tones of rug, wall color, sofa, framed in brown. Simple, blue, wood accent chairs because the rug is really the focal point and you made a great choice for your scheme. Love this coffee table with your rug. Touch of Asian and tropical. https://www.orientalfurnishings.com/rattan-banana-leg-coffee-table-with-glass-top/...See MoreHU-448169704
