5 years agoHi. have the sofas been moved at all to accommodate the tree? I can't work out the distance between the corner of both sofas ie the corridor and my reason for asking is that I think it may be difficult to get a rug to fit. I think the best size for the room and seating arrangement would be the layout below. However I'm not sure you will get one to fit. I personally don't like rugs against hearths or tv units (just needs a few inches gap) and I can't see how much space you have to the side of the small sofa. The alternative is a small rug as you've opted for anchovered with a table of sorts but it doesn't work for me being central to the fire as the sofa doesn't have much of the rug in front.
In all honesty I don't think you need a rug. You could maybe look at these nesting tables by notre monde? They come with a plain top but then you can add one of their trays to it to add more colour and pattern. If you don't like these maybe some teardrop nesting tables? The room looks lovely btw

Rug or no rug!!
Comments (20)Actually the curtains look fine, better than I expected but yes a totally different style to the rug and both quite distinct patterns so clashed. I'd go with a more abstract fluid rug in similar colours and a splash of something like pale lime. blue or orange so it's not too matchy matchy. One step at a time! I've been known to buy and change sofas and rugs in my living room numerous times until I'm happy (luckily I like pre-loved things so rarely lose much, if any money on them, just takes a bit of effort. Mmm not sure but something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hk412-Grey-Red-Abstract-Funky-Large-Thick-Modern-Rug-150x230cm-Cheap-RRP-185-/400433591604?hash=item5d3bb3b534 Not necessarily this specific one (although I do like it) but examples of less defined patterns to take in the slight 'messy' style of the curtains....See Morehelp with downstairs loo pls!
Comments (28)That's an awesome colour (I've used to great effect too in small places). It enables you to be really decadent and make the room mega luxury. Who doesn't want that sat on the throne ;-) I totally disagree with trying to match everything up, it's a complete waste of the palette in the colour itself, and don't worry about the curve stuff, work with it, put things into the space that make it enjoyable. Annoyingly I can't upload the pics I have sorry. The colour enables you to go crazy. Blacks, browns, grey (downpipe grey is the match for this colour and it is ace), purples, bronze, gold and silver all come to life off it. Please, please, please do not put any more white in there. Make it mega luxurious... To make the walls come to life you could use lots of photo frames in golds and silvers, do a mural around the corner of the wall above the basin with those small glass bricks and mirrors to create a focal point (think / look at morrocan style stuff), add in a really deep mix rug, put up a lush dried flower set that you can add scent to once in a while, get a shelf up for candles and trinkets. Enjoy going wild - you won't be diss-apointed when you're on the throne haha...See MoreNeed some advice for my student house bedroom approx. 9ft by 11ft
Comments (33)White or pale walls are ok, DOn't feel that the only way to decorate4 is by painitng the walls. Decide if you want white on white scheme, or a pop of colour. If so, cushions and curtains are the way to go. Decide on a colour and stick to it. TRy the 70-20-10 rule where your 70 is white4 (your walls) and 20 is curtqains and cushions and 10 is a secondary colour such as gold or silver for hardwaqre and ornaments and presto you're done....See MoreFurnishings help pls
Comments (14)If I was going to stick to mixing in yellow which was my original plan, I have found these lamps from Dunelm https://www.dunelm.com/product/sara-ochre-floor-lamp-1000158556?defaultSkuId=30674203&ds_c=Lighting_Floor+Lamps_%5BGOO-PLA-LIGHTING-FLOOR%5D&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvYSEBhDjARIsAJMn0lgMIAhr6-9ji9jRlqNslwlMD3XMfPQYaaPrqV8vuHiUW8yA0lAiLuYaAr1oEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds and I do have other yellow accessories (from another room)! I just always find that I am rearranging throws to make them look tidy! Id like to incorporate other colours such as purple as suggested about but don’t want the room to look garish with too much yellow. I think the blinds need to be changed and maybe add some natural colours too as suggested....See Morecaro7342
