NEED ADVICE on how to style my living room!!
Comments (6)The rug looks fine to me, more like a problem with the lighting. What does it look like when you open the blinds? Those slats will always filter out a lot of light. If budget is a concern, or even if it isn't, I'd get an IKEA Vitsjo coffee table and spray paint it with a slightly coppery brass. Get some sofa pillows in your favorite color and some large art work. And better lighting....See MoreHelp! Need advice on very dark living room!
Comments (9)The fan is on the "to do" list for sure, as well as replacing the furniture (see my original post). By the way, the wall with the sofa is the garage (so no windows can go there). @latifolia Seriously, this house has...in total 1 sidelight window next to the front door, 1 glass slider in the living room, 2 55" x 33" in the family room, 1 glass slider in the master, and 1 x 20" x 55" windows in the the two other bedrooms...oh, and a little kitchen window and little ones in the bathrooms. The problem is all but the guest room windows face N.E. and I live in a wooded area, so it's pretty darn dark! Landscaping certainly would come into play, but it's only about 10 feet between the house and the fence. The front door is one solid piece of metal (photo below)...I am already planning on replacing with something that is at least 1/4 glass, and considering putting an opening into the wall between the entry and the living room. Please ignore the nasty looking plant, it to is on the "replace" list. @Jessamy Tsoris Any suggestions on the number / types of lights for the space?...See MoreNeed advice on how to fill up space in living room
Comments (14)The basic layout Beverly posted is your best bet and you might be able to put a table behind sofa or a reading/feeding baby area you might need. TIP, get a good rug pad for your rug on your tile. It will eliminate telescoping of grout lines in rug and be more comfortable. I would also remove those drapes and unless you need privacy, which doesn’t look like it hence I wouldn’t add any drapes. Possibly solar shades if you need light control. A few strategically placed plants might be all you need....See MoreI need help changing up our living room/tv wall!
Comments (163)I’m still working on my room! I took a break for a while because I couldn’t find anything I liked. I did find this plant shelving thing that I like. My question is? Does it look ok with my picture or should I find something similar to put there? I just put some plants I have up there for now. I like the black one. I’m just thinking it’s not matching. Thanks in advance ☺️...See MoreFlo Mangan
