POLL: Lounge, living room, sitting room or front room?
Comments (50)Front room for me! we have three rooms opened into one large living space, this is great when you have a large family. I still say front room, but mainly to describe the location of say my book or glasses if I'm am asking somebody to fetch them for me. It makes for a quicker find :)...See MoreNeed help with designing kitchen/dining/living room open living plan
Comments (10)Thank you for your response. We had plans pretty finalised until we found out that we can keep just that long wall into the large space as it is a load-bearing. There is an opportunity to put a door in though. I am attaching what it looked like with all the walls that we can now remove. We have also been tinkering with ideas which I am adding as well. I added some comments on the plans as well. What we want to have is a dining area with a large table that seats 8-10 people. We want enough space for two people to work and cook in the kitchen. Thus, we were thinking of an island or an L-shape workspace coming out. We'd like to have a utility room to have space for all the cleaning utensils. Washer and Dryer will be upstairs in a separate laundry room. The living room is nothing formal but an area to relax and watch TV. We'd like to have an L-shaped cough in there for a family of four (2 kids under the age of 10)....See MoreLiving room and dining room advice
Comments (22)The Persian rug is lovely. We have several (sitting room, study, hall, bedroom ..... they're a bit addictive), with fabric using a couple of the colours in each for stuff like cushions, curtains etc. with neutral walls. I agree with minnie about the patterns. To get the right colour combinations, at a reasonable price, you could find a company that does a range with the colour or colours you're looking for and then look for remnants on ebay, to get them at bargain prices. That's worked well for us. Stuff like this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schumacher-Curtain-Fabric-PASHA-PAISLEY-2m-POMEGRANATE-100-WOOL-/322509242456?hash=item4b170c8058:g:DwsAAOSw42JZAwWm And if you're looking for another rug to complement the one you've got, www.carpetu2.co.uk has a massive range on-line, at better prices than I've been able to find here. They're actually in Greece, but don't charge for shipping, which is very fast....See Morere designing living room into open plan kitchen dining living space
Comments (12)Ok. Where do you enter? And where is the bathroom? Bedroom is upstairs? Fireplace will be used as such? Is the space next to the sitting room a hallway? Where could the soil pipe go?...See MoreNik Bisko

7 years agoLet's do this the easy way. The first thing to choose is an area rug. One that picks up the color of your existing furniture but adds more colors. Your space will look larger if you use an area rug that all the furniture sits on. The rug is your color anchor.
Th next step is matching the wall and trim color to the rug. In the top example we used two tones of soft yellow. Lighter above the chair rail, darker below, the off white tint of the same yellow on the trim, fireplace and ceiling. Add a bit of your wall color to your ceiling paint to take out the blue tint. Or paint the ceiling another color. It is the 5th wall. Make it easy, choose your rug first. www.CompanyC.com is a great place to start.

7 years agoI agree with the above advice in that leave all the trim but paint it and the walls a light paint hue and just do eveyrting the same color....I even think you can paint out the stained wood trim but that is up to you; either way works.
Please sell the love seat or put it in your office, bedroom etc.....ditto the cocktail table. Acutally invest in an afternoon at Pottery Barn for some inspiration and they have free design advice, room arrangement etc. Add a pair of chairs with some interet in them, matching somewhat or contrast. Then accessorize what you have along the lines of Pottery Barn; they do a nice neutral masculine look that is comfortable and welcoming.
Like this maybe? Paint, lights, lamps, rug, strong design throw pillows, prints....all of this can be found at IKEA if you are doing budget but Pottery Barn lasts forever and is timeless.
