Help me finish our living room please!?
We've recently moved house and this is our living room that we mainly use to watch tele (we have a kitchen/family room which we use most of the time). I do like the scandi white wall, no clutter look but I need to soften the look a bit and make it a little more luxurious. I'm not in to florals and prefer a more retro or geometric look. There's too much grey at the mo. I'm trying to use the colours navy, grey, orange and gold. I need some blinds at the window, so either navy or grey. I'm thinking a navy or orange rug.

Finishing touches for our new living room
Comments (17)Hi there, I'm wondering how you're getting on?!! How about a Bali pod by the sofa arm with the throw on? You could have a bespoke piece to add interest and colour ....and also allow you to sit comfortably in the sofa with a drink close by (rather than having to reach to the coffee table every time you want a sip!). This is the sort of thing I'm thinking.....our pods come in 7 shapes, 5 core fabrics and loads of colours ...or you can use your own fabric, so you can make quite a personalised statement!! I've attached a link to an example of a swatch which would go with your scheme...Good luck with all your plans! http://mellowduck.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/SandringhamCamel600x600-138x138.jpg...See MorePlease help rearrange our living room!?
Comments (5)Hi, [Have you considered changing your sofa's for 1 large L shaped sofa with all the[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/have-you-considered-changing-your-sofas-for-1-large-l-shaped-sofa-with-all-the-phvw-vp~103171084) seats you need? The TV in the corner can be brought out to the edge of the corner so the person seated more towards the door can still view the Tv. By removing the 2 seater underneath the stairs, that space can be used as the children corner where toys can be parked when not in use, and even a small library (?) for them. A middle to large plant placed next to the window where currently you have a white table. Strategically place a coffee table and side table and 'fill' the rest of the room with a beautifully large high pile rug. The rest of the 'empty' space can be for where the children can expand their playing territory if you can get them off the cozy rug.

Goodluck! PS. The image in the post is my advice, the L shape should start next to the heater underneath the window, for some reason it was saved the other way around in sketch....See MoreHELP: How to finish our living room?
Comments (13)I would keep the curtains simple and go for natural unbleached linen which looks amazing with Inchyra Blue. Some graphic artwork would really lift it. There is a screen printer artist called Maxine Sutton who produces beautiful collaged screen prints, some original and some Giclee prints, quite affordable. I have one of hers in my lounge. You can find her on Instagram or just google her. You could pick out a colour from some artwork as and edging, cushions etc....See MorePlease help me find some curtains for my north facing living room

8 years agoHi Elizabeth,
I absolutely agree that you need to soften the look and going for a geometric or retro pattern will also add a bit of interest too and make your room feel more alive,
In terms of colours I would say that if you want a more luxurious feeling the navy is the way to go for and if you want more retro then orange would be best. Do have a look at our selection of rugs on Hutsly and you might just find the piece you are looking for like one of these:

Hope that helps and good luck!
