Our new house - decorating the living room
Comments (11)Minnie is absolutely right about the wallpaper - whether there is a physical demarkation or not, you will still be creating a false line for the eye that's hardly going to be restful in your living room, and will just look odd. My advice would be to dump the idea of a feature wall and put your desire for a floral pattern into a lovely rug. I assume you are keeping the carpet? It looks light beige in the photos and you need to keep this colour in mind, as well as the black of the sofas, when choosing the rest of the scheme. Maybe have a look at rugs with big, swirly floral patterns in browns and coppers or golds as well as beige and black, then pick colours from that (copper or gold would be lovely) for your cushions and curtains. The walls (and up the staircase wall) I would paint in a very, very light shade of whatever beige or taupe dominates in the carpet (impossible to tell from a photograph so grab some paint charts). Good luck....See MoreLiving room/dining room decoration
Comments (5)Hi Danielle. Are your parents literally looking to change everything then?? I can see your mum likes greys and inky blues, which way does the room face? Rather than use the darker paints on the half walls, which I think divides the room, consider using on the fireplace ŵall ( do you have a pic of this?) and under the stairs. I'd keep the other room light for reading.As they have a separate living room, I'd reduce seating, a small 2/3 sofa under the window but pulled away from the ŵall. Full length curtains could look good here but it depends if there's room when the sofa is pulled away, maybe check when you have measurements and go for a slimmer table. I'd keep the curtains light to tie in with ŵall colour. Where the other sofa is have an accent chair in the corner with a floor lamp behind. Where the mirror is I'd put a low wide bookcase with matching table lamps and a mirror over the top. I'd also go for a smaller patterned rug as its hiding the lovely floor. I agree re the porch door but it's letting a lot of light in, maybe they can cover with cardboard and assess the impact! Are there any pendant lights at all? I'd go for an extending dining table so they can accommodate more guests, it looks as if they could pop the extra (smaller) dining chairs in corners? It doesn't look as if full length curtains would hang properly unless the rad was moved? Perhaps a vase of faux flows on the dining table ( good quality!). The art looks good but I don't think the ones next to the window work so would look at some of the positions and maybe create gallery walls. design wise maybe modern English country?? Add the pattern and accent colour in their accessories, soft furnishings. It looks a lovely room though...See MoreLiving and dining room decor help + Home Bar idea
Comments (5)Hello, This seems to be a huge renovation! For the floor plans, you may want to use https://planner.roomsketcher.com. It is a free tool, and probably one of the easiest to use, moreover if you'd like to use our construction team's service you can make a floor plan by just handwriting, so we can send you a quote, but honestly, it would be better for you if we could come for a survey and make all the measurement by ourselves. Let me know if you are interested so I can arrange our managing director to call you. :)...See Morehelping in my wall decoration living room
Comments (8)You could highlight it by painting a section of wall behind it that frames the piece. So lets say for arguments sake that it is 1m wide, I would paint a band of wall from floor to ceiling in a darker colour that comes out 10-15 cm further on either side. Then hang the art work up and it will contrast beautifully and fit the freshly painted section nicely and make it seem more in proportion. The alternative is to create a gallery wall, so hanging more pieces of art in combination with that piece to create a collection that fills the space better. Good luck! and let me know how it turns out....See Moremaridem
