Comments (3)I love the furniture especially since they were all 'finds!' I also love the wainscoting. Pull the chairs toward to sofa so to make a nice sitting, chatting area. Yes, paint. Then find a rug you love to pull it all together. What a lovely sitting room/music room....See MoreHelp with formal living room layout
Comments (19)since you're asking if it would be too small, fyi a 68" sofa is not a full size sofa, but rather a mid-sofa or apartment size sofa. keep in mind that you have to deduct the arm size to figure out your seating area, and if your sofa has a large arm, you might only have the seating area of a loveseat. in general, our full size sofas have at least 68" of seating area between the arms, and once you add the arm size you have the full length. so a sofa with 12" arms, like this one ends up being 92" total, while a sofa with a smaller arm like this one at 5" is only 78" long overall, yet they both have the exact same seating area. xoxo eva @ MONARCHSOFAS.COM...See MoreLiving room furniture layout help!
Comments (21)decoenthusiaste, I don't completely disagree with you, but I think you confuse selecting final paint colors with selecting a color palette. If you don't have any idea what colors and what neutral family you want in your home how do you buy furniture. Just go pick something that looks good in the showroom? This is the cause for so many design dilemmas. We don't define a color palette first and we go out and buy something that is completely wrong. Here is an inspiration piece for my sister's home Here is the color pallet we started with This was her core neutral Here are the color inspirations for my home: Here is my color pallet at work with selecting flooring, bath tiles and paint colors My neutral is a taupe with purple undertones. You can see the purple undertones in the flooring and wall tiles. My Taupe would look atrocious in my sister's home. Her Moss would look equally bad in my home. If we define our color pallet and take samples along when we shop the colors we choose to bring home will all work together. We won't have the common dilemmas seen on Houz....See MoreDesign help for formal living room/toy room
Comments (19)I would use the side of the room where you currently have your sofas as the "adult" space, and the corner where you have the play rug as the "kids" space. You need to separate the two. So move the desk to the adult area - either on wall to the right side of the opening to the family room, or slide the sofa under the window closer to the other one and put the desk on the wall between the sofa and entry. Move the two tall storage units to the staircase wall, and use them exclusively for toy and game storage. The kids kitchen can go on the wall to the left of the doorway opening. From your entry, you will see mostly the adult area, and the messier toys and all the shelves won't be immediately visible. One other option that could work depending on your floor plan is combining your living room and dining room in this space, and using the dining room exclusively as a playroom....See MoreWendy Stringer
