Decorating advice needed
Comments (7)Hi Suleman. What style is the sofa? It is easy to paint the ceilings white and add a feature wall but it would be nice to do something a little different. Have you tried looking at some of the rooms on Houzz and adding some to your image books. There are some great ideas on here. What kind of colours do you like? what appeals to you?...See MoreColour wall advice needed!

Comments (4)Because the sofas are big heavy and dark I agree that you need to lighten up this room. I wouldn't have additional furniture because I think it looks full already but I might swap your little table lamp for a standard lamp to you have a light that is the same height as the TV. I also think your mirror is undersized, it should hang portrait to make the room seem taller - a round mirror would also work. I would get a white dining table. The mahogany trunk seems to obscure the view of the fireplace- perhaps a lower table should be better. I would also get an oversized houseplant. I don't mind the fireplace. I think you can put any colour on the walls and I don't think it has to be neutral but you should replace the curtains with much paler-perhaps even white. I think one of the reasons for replacing the curtains is the now slightly dated pattern. Perhaps put pattern in art or cushions so it can be changed more regularly. I like the rug but it does dictate your decorating choices- could it go in another room? If it can I think that your instinct is right that a large pale textured rug would be comfy and visually break up the dark tones of the sofas and floor. Lastly I would add a throw and a couple of cushions to make the sofas less imposing, add pattern and break up their darkness....See Morespare room decoration advice needed!
Comments (5)If you get lots of light then something quite funky or vibrant would be lovely. It's easy to end up just having a bland box as the spare room. I would go with either modern classic ie a rich deep feature wall with lots of soft furnishings and textures would make it feel luxurious and cosy. Mirrors to bounce the light around - maybe some metallics in there. Nothing too pale though. ie you could do a navy blue with white accents and beige/neutral textured throws - or Deep greys with soft nude/pinks so it's not too girly. OR Pattern in a theme (always love the tropical look!) with lots of colour and make it more fun/humorous. As you say, you don't need lots of storage space so a small hanging area for clothes, small vanity and chair is all you need. I would otherwise just look through some small bedroom decor ideas on here and just save any that really stand out at you for inspiration....See MoreMisha M
