Living room with large Inglenook

6 years ago
Hello everybody,
We have moved into a home with a large living room that had an inglenook fireplace. Our interior style is fairly neutral colours and a more modern look. We are stuck with how we should progress with this room and were wondering if you had any ideas:
1) what to do with walls paint/wallpaper
2) what colours
3) what to do with the fireplace
4) any suggestions for anything else!
Current furniture will all be going. We are wondering whether we should replace the carpet with wooden flooring also.
We would be very grateful for your feedback.

Large awkward space in living room
Comments (16)I would put a huge gloss top table in the corner at the same height or a little lower, than your sofas. It would really suit a large bow table lamp with a wide coolie shade, and a couple of objet d'art to finish it off. Don't look at the colours below, I'm showing you the arrangement only. Based on your own room, choose a white gloss table, and add a lamp similar to the one I'm showing below in scale, but try to tie the colour of the shade in with your floor, to add warmth to a cool scheme on your walls and sofas.. You can't go wrong. Classic and classy. Let me know what you decide! x...See MoreIdeas wanted for large victorian living/dining room
Comments (7)Hi. I think it's going to echo until you get some soft furnishings in there. Rug/s, cushions, a throw for the arm of the sofa and curtains (keep them fairly light). A mirror/s will bounce the light as will any reflective accessory, light or piece of furniture. Floor and table lamps will add cosiness, as do plants and books plus different textures for your accessories, When you hang Art, hang it just a few inches above the sofa or dining table so the centre of the art is at eye level, it will connect with the furniture and make it feel cosier. Do add 1/2 pieces of taller things to mix up the scale such as a floor lamp or piece of furniture....See Morein a large living room should the rug extend under the furniture?

6 years agoHi,
We had a similar dilemma.
Rather than do a complete knock down and replace something very solid and robust with a more flimsy structure, we worked with what we had. We adapted the huge structure to a more up to date design, moving away from the eighties monster that it was.
