first house! help me paint and buy furniture for living/dining
Comments (7)Great room I understand your excitement to get started. For me I think that decorating is the last job and you need to make some decisions first. If it were my house I would swap the radiator by the kitchen door for a narrower one. I might also rehang the door into the hall because when open now it obstructs the door to the kitchen. Personally I think the lighting needs reconsidering as the spotlight position is a little odd and I think the droplet light fitting is out of proportion. I think you should have one ceiling pendant that works with your mid century vibe and then table lights and standard lamps which are more comfortable to live with especially in an evening watching tv. I think where you have the two dining chairs is an obvious place for furniture and perhaps an extra socket here would be useful. Tv area- given there is no fireplace I think you might find a TV on its own on the wall too plain and you should consider if you want to make a feature of your tv with a media unit, a mid century lowboard or fireplace feature with electric flame effect fire and recessed tv. And I think the idea of a bold colour oversized sofa sounds spot on. But I wonder if it choosing an equally strong wall colour may make it lose its impact. Try to find some images of rooms you like to emulate their look. Houzz has a wealth of pictures that you can save. Only when you have a plan for the other elements can you decide on the wall colour (for instance the choice of colours for the sofa may be limited so don’t decide on wall colour until you have chosen that). You should also consider it you are going to paint the whole room or an accent wall as the previous people have done- personally I think it depends on what furniture you choose for the tv wall as you may decide a mid century piece sits better on a pale coloured wall. Given you don’t like the grey you might also be thinking of replacement blinds- if you did decide to replace them Venetians blinds are a great choice for a room with lots of glass as they can control sunlight and they fit your mid century vibe- your choice of wood or white might influence your wall colour. Right now I think you should be making the room your own by painting the grey wall you don’t like - paint it white so you have a blank canvass and then concentrate on the big elements like the electrician and the sofa and tv wall and then make the wall colour work with these choices....See MoreDark green living room paint suggestions?
Comments (15)I think I would probably choose the sofa first then the wall colour. If you buy a blue sofa then I think the walls should also be blue. Personally I think adding brass and marble accent will make it very high end and perhaps you can find a patterned fabric with blue and the same yellow as the room next door to make cushions or use the same trick to choose a wall paper....See MorePaint colour suggestions for open plan kit/dining/living room
Comments (5)It depends on what sort of 'feel' you like. I like quite neutral spaces with lots of texture so stoney colours, natural leather feels very relaxed to me. Little Greene have some new colour cards out with 'Stone' colours on, all sorted in warms to cools, it may be worth ordering one. They do light and dark versions of each colour so you could select specific ones for each room. They also specify 'accent' colours for the odd wall so all round a good choice....See Morepaint colour suggestions…
Comments (3)Thanks for your comment, I’ve looked on F&B and they pair it with Green but was hoping someone on here had used James White with a different colour.
