I need help with flooring and decor ideas for my through lounge
Comments (12)houssaon I sat with a piece of it on my floor this morning and I screamed to myself 'what am I doing , Ive got rid of an axminster for this ! ' so I went to the shop and have found a neutral brown carpet 80% wool which suits a large rug I have and should bring out the colours in my new suite , I am glad I took the rug with me because the small chair is a near match to the suite, and the rug/ chair look nice together . I was tired and stressed late last night having taken up my old carpet last night in 1 piece in case I ever thought about putting it back ! everything now happens Thursdaywhen the carpet is fit and the dining suite and lounge suite is installed Ill upload. youve asked about my style ? Im going for the stressed look ! no I want a classy look but also minimalistic due to it not being a big through lounge thanks for your comments to date ps anyone want an axminster !...See MoreInterior/design ideas for my lounge
Comments (4)I agree that greens would be lovely and restful in the room. However before choosing paint, I would find art and maybe mirrors for the walls, then it will be easier to choose a paint colour against which to display them. You have lots of wall space and it's a great opportunity to inject personality and soul into the room. Spend time browsing everywhere from interiors stores to vintage shops for pieces that appeal to you. Art doesn't need to be expensive, even movie or music posters look great in the right frame. You could also have photos printed onto canvasses- if you have any great landscape or nature shots from holiday for example. Try to find pieces that will work together but don't necessarily 'match'. If you have a swatch of the wallpaper, you might bring that with you when shopping for art. Something else that would change the feel of the room would be to replace the TV stand and the end table with chunky wooden ones. A bookcase or some floating shelves would also add to the warmth of the room, making it feel more lived in. And I would pull the couch away from the wall a little, this actually makes a room feel bigger. Enjoy!...See MoreLounge design ideas for gold stripe sofas
Comments (22)Thank you for all your really helpful comments so far. My eyes are being opened to different thoughts and design ideas. I have loaded a few more photos from the day as it shows the light. The patio end is south facing bit we have a conservatory and some trees behind which reduces the light on the room. as you can see I do have lots of ornaments which I would want to keep and whilst I might have the odd piece to reflect the colour of the room I do t think this room is one to do from scratch and therefore a design idea needs to be around my bits. I have previously changed the botanical flower print as it was once another colour. As the room is long and thin it is quite hard to find an alternative layout which allows us to view the tv as well as entertain and see each other. Carolins I am loving all your ideas and today am going to visit a fabric design shop to see if I can get ideas there. I spend hours going through shop websites looking for cushions/ curtains / lamps as ideally I wouLd like ideas/links to products if possible. I am thinking of painting the wall a more neutral colour? Maybe something like Dimity from farrow and Ball, but from a cheaper supplier? please keep the ideas coming I am so grateful for all your help thank you so much! Also new to this site so not yet worked out how to comment on your post individually sorry...See MoreHow to design a through lounge with conservatory
Comments (4)Hi - I would suggest you have your sofa (could even have a L-shaped sofa) in the front room, with bookshelves either side of the fireplace where you can also place your TV. I would allow the middle reception room for dinning table, and possibly an extendable one for when you entertain and have lots of guests around, you can then spill over into both the living room and conservatory when you do entertain. As you only have one access point to all three rooms, your dinning room will need to provide a gangway to the other rooms too so make sure its not too cluttered. You could have sideboards along the longer side of the wall to store things and children toys etc. Hope the layout below gives you some ideas....See Moreminnie101
