We have recently replaced doors and layout of hallway but i now have the dilemma of making it look homely. It has a lot of windows and doors and its just crying out for some form of furniture. Im in the process of making curtains so this will help soften the look. Would love a console table and a chair but how could it work? Also have the annoying off centre radiator under the mirror which doesnt help.

living room dilemma! ! help!
Comments (16)be careful about painting the walls too light when you have such dark furniture- most people think it will make the room lighter but in fact will just make the sofa look darker and I suspect you won't like the contrast. I would choose Charleston grey for the walls, Strong white for the paintwork and coving then Clunch for the ceiling and above the picture rail. Don't forget you will need an accent colour- teal, plum, yellow, Navy, in fact loads of colours work. You will also need some pattern. Bring the pattern and colour in through pictures, lamp shades, Rugs, cushions, throws etc....See MoreSofa Dilemma help needed please
Comments (4)Hi Helen, I think you should consider adding a splash of colour to your neutrals. Maybe something warm and natural, keeping with the theme. I think mustard yellow, sage or greenery would go very well with the colours you've gone for and the stag cushion :) or if you want to go funky, why don't you go for bold geometric cushions:...See MoreLiving Room Furniture Dilemma & Decor
Comments (8)I think I prefer the Ikea sofa as the Next one looks a little bulky for the room, washable covers also sound good. I do prefer the Ikea sofa I added but yours should work too, they're identical except for the arms. I also think they work well with the chairs, a different style is good. Just personal opinion but again for me if you're going industrial I would go for a wood floor and it adds so much warmth to a room, LVT may be a softer option? (Last try I promise!). Not sure if you like any of this? I didn't find cushions to match just in case you hate this one and it takes a while looking! It's impossible to choose art for somebody but you may like these. Junique and desenio are also good for affordable prints. Neon signs are also a good way to personalise a room if that's your thing i would add lots of texture for accessories, I think you need to get the furniture agreed first though. I would go for a light neutral for the walls. Need to know which way the room faces and you could work with any undertone in the navy paint...See MoreHelp living room dilemma
Comments (13)Hi Sharon, I like the idea of herringbone. But I don't believe the arch/flooring decision need to be related. It's a modern looking arch not the 'traditoonal 90s' one so looks fine. I agree with Ellie to treat the rooms as two and have armchairs to enjoy the garden view. Re curtains...is the blue on the dresser wall the same blue as the one on fireplace wall please? Can't quite tell from pics......See MoreUser

5 years agoIn terms of a chair, what about by the front entrance. I guess you if you're adding curtains it could go where they would hang on the left? Then add a wall mounted coat rack on the wall to the left of that (I hope this makes sense!). I've found some images that might work and would also be ornamental - don't know where they're from though! The radiator cover below is from etsy and acts as a console too.

Would you consider matching a tabletop to that to tie in with the other room. Don't know if it would be too costly but worth costing it if you like the idea? Your floral display would look great centred on it in the hallway. I'd also go for a radiator cover rather than chair which, in my house, would become a dumping ground!
