Colour Choice Dilemma - Odd Shaped (Top Floor Flat Living Room)
Comments (12)Hello Tom, I think it could be a very relaxing and inviting room - A mid century style sofa with legs would be ideal (Think mad men and stylish!) ... Something less solid and thus the feel is more open within the flooring spatially.. A 3 seater and perhaps two chairs.. Something that would work well with your chosen scheme (grey or other)... Perhaps have the sofa facing that little window wall with some chairs opposite.. So there's less of a "tunnel" You could then have a different shaped coffee table.. I'd suggest the less solid idea with any cabinetry like a console or sideboard.. Small cabinets.. Anything with legs! Even a wardrobe is a nice element in a living room.. Storage for crockery etc or the flat screen for example or projector.. Given the height, you could afford to have a larger ceiling light fitting here and why not have a look at Ebay. There are some really fantastic finds for vintage and interesting.. I'd bring the glass table out of that window recess a bit further... So it could be a multi- functioning table... Working, eating, socialising.. You may find then you don't need the other wooden table.. Chairs are other good finds on ebay or perhaps a visit to an antiques fair or two.. Mirrors could be interesting here too with the slope of the ceiling curve.. Plain and square.. if at all and hung on an angle reflects light downward.. especially good with a dark scheme... Now on to some colour... You might want to take inspiration from the rug too.. but I rather like the earthy grey or that which has brown in it.. You could introduce rust colours to compliment and then the light whiter colours for the ceiling half could be off whites and with slight yellows.. Little Greene has lovely colours.. Very chalky and dense.. For whites.. Whitening, White lead, Ceviche is nice, stone colours. Grey moss and Furrow for earthy greys. For rich grey Scree is lovely. Bring the wood work into the scheme too.. It makes for a fabulous finish.. Consider too on that rear wall (behind second sofa) a very large mirror to lean up against the wall.. Something like 8 x 6ft if you can get something sizey into the space.. Or a series of long narrow mirrors leant up against could do. If you decided to go with a dark colour this could work as it offsets the colour, bounces the light back into the room and offers a visually interesting element and spatially it makes the room twice the size whatever the size... A few ideas off the top of my head.. : ))...See MoreWill choosing mismatched furniture be a disaster?
Comments (8)They look great choices for a mix and match scheme. Love the statement chair. They may be different, but they all work well together as they are similar in style: elegant, simple and in fussy in style. The accessories will pull the whole room together. Have fun with different textures and layering if you go with the non-patterned fabrics and walls....See MoreSmall and odd shaped Living Room
Comments (4)Nice room. As the seating area isn't wide I would choose a chair that doesn't visually fill the space like this rattan one which will also add texture. I'd move the white cube to where the bags are. I can't work out what's next to the black vase on the floor but I'd put it on the cube. Add some tall faux stems in the black vase. I don't think you need anything else on that wall, I'd just pull the floor lamp into the room more. I would however change your cushions to add both pattern and texture. Is there any colour in the room?...See MoreFunny shaped living room.
Comments (3)Hi there, That is quite an odd shaped living room, don't worry I see this a lot and there are ways around it as long as you get a bit creative! So firstly, you will need to consider how you will be using this room with the stairs in mind. I am going to assume that you'd like to have it as a separate area as you would do in most homes. I suggest you split the room in two areas, it doesn't have to be an obvious line but I do think you need to zone off the relaxing part of the room where you watch TV and where you are using it to get to the stairs. I hope that makes sense? I've done a quick floor plan and taken your dimensions and added them to the plan. I had to improvise with the doors, bay window and also added in the chimney which is not on the original plan. So there is enough room to get a sofa and depending on how much seating you need two additional armchairs which could hide the stairs a little, I've even added a few plants behind the armchairs to 'screen off' the area if you wanted to. I've assumed that you will want to watch TV in here so I have positioned the TV in the corner. You could add some shelves or even have something made for the corner if you wanted to though I would suggest to keep this room minimal as you will need to get to the stairs. The other thing I have added are some shelves to the wall opposite the stairs, if this area also acts like a hallway you'll need somewhere to place things as well stuff for your living room. I really hope this rough floor plan gives you some ideas? Thanks Rukmini Patel Interior Design...See Moremossie23
