Need help with decorating my living room

8 years ago

Hi, Can you please give me some advise as to how I can asthetically decorate these shelves beside the fireplace. We've just bought a new house and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks a lot. I am posting a picture below.

Thanks in advance.

HI Mystique.

Maybe you could add a line of logs in the lower shelf - stacked up to fill most of the space.

On top shelf maybe some tall books (like coffee table books) and have a tall vase/ ornament that you like (coloured to stand out) beside them. Perhaps you could add one division such as pic below.

I could also see a lintel extend across fire place and all the way across about 6" above the fire place (nice wooden texture) and decorate that.

Hi, it would really help if you posted a drawing of your room with the dimensions and location of stairs, doors and window on it. Doesn't have to be very precise, but it needs to be clear for us to read. I love your coffee table. Looks like you have a big sofa and chair? If you're going to buy new furniture, go for something that is on feet (so the floor is visible under it) and with straight(ish) arms. Makes the room looks more spacious. Would the piano fit under the stairs?

Hi all! I though I thought I would show you the progress on our living room. South Africa went into Covid lock-down just as I planned to start working on the room, so I had to wait a bit until some of the industries started up again. We re-covered the two bucket chairs in a dark gray colour. It came out a little bit lighter than I wanted, but it still looks good to me. I also bought a jute rug to replace the red one, I really think it makes the coffee table stand out better. I also put up some of my framed paintings and vacation pictures. This is pretty much how things will stay for a while. Future plans include: It's my husband's job to tidy up/hide all the wiring and remove some of the tech stuff in the corner, he promised it will look much better once he's done. I am hinting at buying/inheriting a vintage hospital standing lamp from my dad to place next to the leather couch, maybe I'll paint it black to match the picture frames. Some time in the future I will find some side tables and a table lamp to go next to the chairs and the wood framed couch. Another painting will also go above the couch where the newspaper placeholder is currently. Since these pictures were taken I have swapped the positions of the chairs and the wood framed couch, and to me both configurations look good, I have no preference. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
