Help i need help styling my living room
Comments (12)It may just be the photograph but to me it looks as though the floor should have been prepared (sanded down more). It always pays to spend good time on the preparation. The photo also looks like the room might be in shade for some part of the day so might be a bit dark, plus your having a dark sofa by the sound of it. perhaps sand the floors and go for a light or clear coloured sealer not too shiney. Perhaps look out for a large rug as if the room hasn't been soundproofed it could be noisey for the people below and echoey for you. Don't rush and as someone else indicated don't have too much large furniture. Check if you can buy nice blinds off the shelf that would be the right size, you can then get them more reasonably than made to measure....See MoreHi, I need help in choosing right colour/type rug for my living room
Comments (21)What about a bespoke rug made from a cream coloured carpet with a mink / black border? We have a great 'Make me a rug' designer on our website where you can have a play, but here are a couple of combinations that we loved! http://www.alternativeflooring.com/rugsrunners/make_me_a_rug...See MoreHelp figuring out best way to extend
Comments (7)Hi Minnie, thank you so much for your ideas! I really appreciate you took the time to share them us. You've really given us plenty to think about. Toys and kids clutter seems to be a permanent fixture in the house at the moment, so your point on the mess exposed in open plan setting is something we'll certainly need to give more thought to. Converting the whole of the garage we haven't really thought of, to be honest. It would definitely give us more room to comfortably fit in the playroom. One possible drawback though could be lack of light. The only suitable location for the window would really be the current garage door, and that side doesn't really get good light during the day. However, there's nothing above the garage so perhaps a skylight could be a way? Also, I'm sort of in two minds about how separate I want the kids space to be. Sometimes closing the door and letting them do their own thing is really convenient and helps keep us sane ;) but ideally, I think, I'd like their wee corner to be a part of the family space so that we easily keep an eye. I'll need to mull that over a bit more to be honest, and try to look further into the future. I love the way you've designed kitchen/dining space at the back. It makes sense the two are linked. The cost consideration is a strong argument for sure, but the installations are poor as it is, pipes exposed in the cupboards, so will need to be rehauled one way or another. The reason we thought of putting kitchen units along the left wall was the light. We sort of had an idea of side skylights/roof lights at the side return part, and a bifold door on back wall opening into the garden. Something along the lines of the photo below. Does that make sense? I've no renovation experience nor architectural know how, so not even sure if that would work!? I would love to hear what you think if you have some more time to spare. Thanks again for your help...See MoreNeed help for living room colour planning
Comments (12)Hi Tripti, Sorry, can't open your link with wallpapers. This is one of my recent projects. Maybe it will inspire you (photos are not yet professional I'm still decorating). We sticked to the grey furniture in the living room. You can find a tv unit that matches your sofa colour it would be a good balance. the light on this pic is wrong, the unit is the same colour as the coffee table Also, I found some Kelly Hoppen interiors with grey and gold colours As you can see from the pic she made a grey front wall (which is stone here), grey unit, gold decor. It looks very luxurious. For your interior add some gold decor in the room, it can be a gold frame, vase, candles. ___ Or you can go for a beige unit. In this case you need to consider one thing, a unit needs to be balanced with something also beige in the room. Let say a chair, sofa tables, ottoman, cushions, curtains, small decor. as you can see from the pic beige colour fits really good with gold. Hope this 2 ideas can help you. Anna...See Moreamyllevine
