What's missing from this room?
Comments (16)I think you're in danger of mixing warm colours (wooden tones of a table, brown leather and beige walls) with cool colours (curtains with grey in them, purple rug). Those cushions in the photo above are gorgeous - but they are all blue-undertones (therefore cool) colours so I think they'd be compounding the problem. Room needs a lift so I'd go with a cream rug, with a pattern on it. Rich texture on it (no shoes in your sitting room from now on!) and big enough for the chair and the sofa to sit on it (ideally, all on it - yep, that big) completely. At the very least - to have the front legs of sofa and chair on it. Size adds richness and cohesion - I thought of this "Diamond Shaggy Rug" from M&S - http://www.marksandspencer.com/diamond-shaggy-rug/p/p22329608 Also - that blank wall where a fireplace used to be. the room has no welcoming focal point - could you at least fit a fire surround and knock into the chimney to create a hole for flowers, stacked logs or the like? Alternatively - put a small console table there with some slim lights on it and some decorative items - not too many. Plus a great picture or photo above it. Lighting looks sparse (i.e. non overhead lights). Can you manage a slim side table next to the left (as you look at it) side of the chair? Agree about smaller coffee table. Hope that sparks some ideas but I think you're biggest wins would be a large, large textured cream rug and some kind of focal point on chimney breast. Oops one final point which you MUST do: the chimney breast has no air vent in it - this is against Building Regs and must be inserted as a safety measure and to ensure you don't get damp. If you do nothing else, get that done ASAP. Regards Denise...See MoreWhat is missing???
Comments (41)Forzaitalia thanks. Got a fuzzy feeling from that comment. Where are the emoticons, they were needed here! Houzz Team????? Yes I have an appointment with Hilary's for blinds for the window. StJamesdesign, hmmmm wooden floor, I might consider that. I'm scared what will become of the cream carpet but then I'll leave til it's grubby and if I have to change it, wooden floor is the first option. Ash thanks for that runner and dish idea. I will definitely add that ;)...See MoreMy living room
Comments (18)Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up your living area I think a select piece of art would really make the room stand out, add interest and add a great talking point to the room....As my work is bright and full of colour this will work amazingly in your living area....... Please check out my website if like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size but with this it can only be done as a original piece and not a print.....but all prints i can do to the same size or smaller than my original paintings, so lots of options.. www.GuigsART.co.uk...See Moredownstairs bathroom - what’s missing?
Comments (36)I think it looks very clean and fresh and to keep this look, a very simple update would be an artificial green plant and paint the ceiling and possibly the toilet wall a dark colour and then add the same dark colour handtowel. Change the mirror for a mirrored cabinet if there is room so you can ditch all those loo rolls. Alternatively, as someone else has suggested, a basket for loo rolls would be so much better. Do you have to have a waste bin in such a small space? Good luck...See MoreSue S
