Rug / Accessories help needed

7 years ago

Hi All, I'd appreciate some advice..What rug would you think could work in this space? Was thinking a large jute rug ? Or an off white large shaggy rug? I feel like we need to introduce some accent colour..what colour would you suggest? I haven't bought any artwork or accessories yet. I'm ordering voile curtains soon. Planning to get a buttoned back armchair, overmantle mirror with a vase in front, floor lamp. Depending where the sofa will be placed we'll get a console table too..any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Mira, Your room looks great :) I'd suggest either selecting a plain/semi-plain or self patterned rug to tie in with the existing lighter colours in the room. Something like:

Semi-plain rug

Semi-plain rug Option 2

If you do want to add an accent colour into the rug, I'd suggest sourcing your art work first as some bold colours there would work brilliantly against your wall colours and having the art work first would make sure the rug tied in. Personally I'd suggest a rug to tone in with the existing colours in your room, making sure it has a luxe look and feel to keep the luxurious, glamorous look to the room. Hope that helps! PB

Hi Mira,

Wow what dramatic room! I love how you have used the dark and
rich colours on your walls - it really makes your living room feel warm and
inviting.

Placing a rug within your living room will definitely be the
finishing touch to your scheme, adding a homely and cosy feel to the room. I’d
recommend designs which incorporate a combination of warm and cool neutrals
along with a lustrous sheen, as this will create a feeling of movement, texture
and light that will liven up any living space. I really love the contemporary
graduating colour of this Designer’s Guild Eberson rug, which I think would
really work in your living room:

Complete the scheme by
introducing accessories with metallic tones and finishes, such as below, which
will inject an element of warmth and sophistication to your living area. It will
really become an
individual space that stands out from the crowd.

I hope you have fun
adding in the finishing touches and we’d love to see your new room once you’ve
completed it, so please send some photos!

All the Best,

Hi. It's quite difficult to see the pics but I think you already have wallpaper behind the bed? I would just paint the chimney breast in a grey with a brown undertone to go with the walls. If you want to display photos I would use the ŵall by the door as you come in. I personally prefer a symmetrical layout with pics of equal size but obviously you may prefer a gallery style ŵall! I do think you need some more furniture :( a dressing table or console table would look great in that alcove with an upholstered bedroom chair, choose a fabric with a pattern for the seat. Maybe a vase of faux flowers on the dressing table and a table lamp? Perhaps a mirror over the fire, something in a roundish shape with a warm metallic frame. The bed needs cushions and throws to soften it up. As the room is neutral what are your favourite colours? The wallpaper may also stand out more if you used plain linen. There doesn't look as if there's room for bedside tables but maybe add shelves or scones so you can bedside lamps?

Hi Jess. It looks so much lighter than with the deep red tone! I think teal, red and yellow are a good combo (again the right shades!). I'd paint the bookcase in the teal and consider painting your chairs in the red (if not look for seat pads). I'd add a large retro sign between the lights (which I would change). Art.co.uk have a good selection but there are lots around. I'd move the yellow bowl to the worktop so it stands out a little more. Also consider adding a few herbs on the worktop. It looks as if the table will move into the middle of the room? I'm not sure if it's a little shabby chic for you but you could consider painting the fridge with chalk paint so it blends into the units and tiles a little more?

I would add metallics to the room in some form- see your wall paper source photo eg mirror, lamps, central pendant, - the wall paper needs this to bring out its beauty. Not sure if headboard is new, but large upholstered headboard could look nice (See Misha M picture 1). Also bedside lockers - either dark (Lacquer black?) or light but make sure they are not the same shade as wall paper or carpet. I would also add plain bed covers - I think it will work better with the wall paper.
