3 months agolast modified: 3 months agomatch the colors to the rug. maybe a navy textured throw, some blue/red/fuschia print pillows (similar to what you have)
if you really want a revamp, take down that fan! (or at least replace. and it needs to be lowered to 8' to do any type of cooling)
use the fuschia lightly. either in a throw, or maybe 1-2 pillows
you can do some patterns as long as they're in the same color familya neutral tray on the ottoman would be nice too

Lots of remodeling done- need new rug, sofa slipcover and pillows
Comments (2)This remodeling was prompted by a leaking dishwasher and we had to move everything out ASAP so the guys could remove everything that got wet, so I got no 'before' photos. Having such a big empty space got me thinking of how things could be rearranged. I did find some old photos. The couch is white and pretty modern/cool looking under those big brown slipcover but the white upholstery shows too much dirt to not have a slipcover. Hoping to find a cover that would allow the legs/shape to show more. I do have a second matching end table I'd like to put where the bird swing was. You can also see where a round rug might be the best shape given that bird platform corner juts out into the room: Fireplace/mantle are the same but the aquarium and little thing with blankets are no longer there, I added flowers to that vase and there is a grey round mirror: Bird area will remain pretty much the same. My bird is never locked in his cage (little door on the side he uses), so he needs a 'bird proof' space all his own. I do at least try to keep his area neat and orderly. The floor protector in this photo will be reused on the new hard floors as well. Here is the bar area/general current state of our living area; While mine is currently packed away, the 'piano' in the model is not a 'real' piano. I built this exact stand/bench for a digital piano from this tutorial but painted mine light gray instead of staining it. I had it under the bar before but think it would be nicer in front of the window: Credit to https://makeit-loveit.com/diy-digital-piano-stand-plus-bench...See MoreHelp!

Comments (10)Thank you so much for your ideas, Flo! I'm afraid the art and rug are staying put but appreciate the thoughts. I saw your suggestion to repeat the coral color elsewhere and was hoping to do that with pillows/throws or maybe an accessory or two. I do have more of the fabric that was on that chair and in fact had two pillow covers made out of it, but when I tried the two, it wasn't right either. Just one pillow on each couch wasn't enough and while I could make two more four seemed too many visually and also kind of cumbersome. I was also wondering if just adding some more pops of bright color, not necessarily coral, would balance the chair too. I showed the pic of the painting above the buffet because that is the inspiration I use for colors throughout. I could use smaller doses of the chair fabric; maybe cording, etc., for pillows too, and could also do solid coral instead of more of the trellis pattern....See MorePlease help me find a rug! 7 fails in a row- I need help!
Comments (2)Do you have any of the original carpet left over. When we got new carpeting there was some left over and we had the carpet company bind it and put it in the foyer....See Moreneed help finding a new rug - suggestions??
Comments (8)this room is almost identical. I love it w/yours too. that accent wall really sets off the stone in the fireplace. I'd try it on that large wall, OR, just paint the sides of the fireplace. it will make your artwork pop too any of these blue grays should work. It will also give some contrast and make that lighter rug show better. try turning your rug the other way. maybe bring in a few wood items to warm up all the cool gray You see how they have a chair placed in that pic near the fireplace? I'd also do something like that with yours. get something in a walnut wood w/contrasting color. These are all from Article. I actually did this walnut in a Mist color in my room https://www.article.com/product/12914/otio-mist-gray-walnut-lounge-chair...See More

3 months agoYou can 'try out' rugs using rug 'visualizers' offered on my websites. Too many options to choose from right now. You should at least decide what general color you might want and if you are looking for a more traditional pattern or contemporary pattern.
There are still some things to address in your room.
I would add an over the ottoman sliding table to your seating arrangement

3 months agolast modified: 3 months agoJust commented on your kitcehn stools, dining area post. Again, consider the entire space and look on line to get a direction \ search open concepts. A simple rug is easier to design around and add colors that connect with your dining room. As an example, here are the 2 pictures I provided, and how to pull things together and suggest a lighter feel to help offset the dark dining room set, as well as work with your light new kitchen.

3 months agoHere are a few rugs that seemed to compliment your spaces, most more traditional, a couple more contemporary. All are shown with the same rather generic creamy textural sofa pillows plus your blacks. I would probably choose a rug first, then look for pillows that pick up its colors.

I like the way the first of these relates to the filigree panels and arched doorway in the dining area.

last monthIt might be a good idea to think about what accent color you want in the space. Below are some living room designs with some rugs and pillows to give you some ideas on what might work well in your living room.
