Help! Designing our Living Room/Dining Room!
Comments (6)I think the piece the TV is on would feel more at home in the basement with the chunky coffee table. Your home looks to be more contemporary in style except for the stair railing and the big empty display/bookcase. Do you have the budget to remove the built-in? That would give you some wall space for furniture and art. What is the exterior style of your home? Can you pull off a contemporary interior design and not stray too far from the look of the house outside? I don't think the DR is large enough to add more furniture there. I suggest a great piece of art and a rug that is 36-42" larger than your table top on every side. Pull the same colors into the LR with big art on the wall opposite the FP and above a 3-seat sofa where the built-in is. You can do another rug in the LR that is similar in style and color to the DR rug. For example, here are two navy rugs that could work together. The top one picks up your wall color, and the bottom one picks up on the fireplace stone....See MoreNeeding a Cozy Living Room

Comments (11)Hi there - I’m considering Flagstaff Oak and I was wondering if you feel like it looks gray or what is the overwhelming tone? Do you feel it? It is warm at all I’m trying to match some very light cabinets and I’m having trouble. I looked into the Stanton LVP. Your picture is the best when I can fine but it’s still so hard to get a feel for the tone. Any help is greatly appreciated....See MoreJoe McGuire Design
