Need advice for a design of a dark living room
Comments (18)Based on the suggestions already mentioned. You might want to consider: Moving the furniture around to get a feel for the layout. Before purchasing the new sofa, cushions, tv wall bracket. Maybe change the pin spot bulbs to a colder tone-if they are LED. This will provide a whiter light. If the entrance door is adjacent to the kitchen, is it worth considering a half glazed door to let in natural light? Assuming their is a hallway leading to the kitchen end of the room. If the TV is wall mounted you will still need the table under it, to house the sky box etc. so the visible viewing angle will reduce if you do not have a swivel wall bracket (mentioned earlier). The extractor hood-is it vented through the wall? If so is their an option to install a small window next to it to let in some daylight? If the room faces North, the hood faces East (I think). So a port hole window would provide light in the morning for the kitchen. Hope this helps with the planning. Good luck....See MoreNeed ideas for small living room
Comments (11)Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size but with this it can only be done as a original piece and not a print.....but all prints i can do to the same size or smaller than my original paintings, so lots of options.

Comments (12)This is wonderful! Where do you start...? Space: a great use of space, creation of more space and a contemporary relaxed designed space. We particularly like the reserved approach to light fittings and embracing the natural light - how does it look in the evening/night? Well done to all the project team!...See MoreNeed help redecorating my living room
Comments (7)As you sofa is quite a dominant colour in the room, we would suggest toning it down with neutral feature wallpaper (https://www.cole-and-son.com/en/collection-geometric-ii/wallpaper-105/6026/) see below image An eye catching mirror such as this one from Graham and green should be placed above the sofa. (http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/950x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/r/b/rbj8303-gold-roll-mirror.jpg) or https://www.cole-and-son.com/en/collection-curio/wallpaper-107/314 Gold accessories such as a statement mirror above the sofa would look great to add warmth and a touch of glam! check out : (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Linea+Maria+gold+mirror+103+cm/223669299,default,pd.html) Get a longer curtain rail so when you curtains are open they sit against the wall allowing maximum natural light into the room. A rug such as the one below would tie the whole scheme together (http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-lustre-rug/p1913412?colour=Smoke) cushion: http://www.johnlewis.com/kirkby-design-by-romo-district-cushion/p1953638?colour=Orange grey cushion: http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-silk-cushion/p1697898?colour=Silver%20Grey#media-overlay_show Hope you like these schemes...they will surely freshen up your interior! If you are still having trouble visualising or need more assistance take a look at what we offer www.room-revolution.co.uk we look forward to seeing the finished result!...See MoreAmber Jeavons Ltd
