Hague blue living room - Upholstery advice needed

4 years ago

Hello! I’ve just about got my sitting room as I want it but I can’t decide what fabric I should reupholster the brown arm chair in. I want a bit of a statement chair that compliments the room. Your advice / opinion would be much appreciated- thankyou!

The walls are Hague Blue in here (obviously the picture’s old and the tree no longer looks as good and should probably come down).... the chair colour was chosen to go with something else in the room- in this case the tiles of the fireplace.
In your room you should also choose a color from elsewhere and use it as inspiration for the chair- is that rug staying? Could that be your inspiration?

I would say a coral fabric... and would go with your rug!

Based on the suggestions already mentioned. You might want to consider: Moving the furniture around to get a feel for the layout. Before purchasing the new sofa, cushions, tv wall bracket. Maybe change the pin spot bulbs to a colder tone-if they are LED. This will provide a whiter light. If the entrance door is adjacent to the kitchen, is it worth considering a half glazed door to let in natural light? Assuming their is a hallway leading to the kitchen end of the room. If the TV is wall mounted you will still need the table under it, to house the sky box etc. so the visible viewing angle will reduce if you do not have a swivel wall bracket (mentioned earlier). The extractor hood-is it vented through the wall? If so is their an option to install a small window next to it to let in some daylight? If the room faces North, the hood faces East (I think). So a port hole window would provide light in the morning for the kitchen. Hope this helps with the planning. Good luck.

Hi Kate. It looks a nice room. You only have a couple of pics in your ideabook so there's not much to go on in terms of style and colour. Maybe go for something like the first pic however with a pale grey paint with a blue/lavender undertone on the walls (which your sofas appear to have) and also paint the radiators the same colour. You don't mention if you need privacy, if not, I'd go for Roman blinds hung outside the recess in the wall colour to make the room feel bigger/taller. Similar to the pic id add navy, white and deep mauve cushions and a throw mixing texture (include some velvet!) and pattern. If you add brass for lamps etc it will add warmth in addition to some green for a plant and flowers for the coffee table. This may be a no no (!) but a light grey cowhide rug may work (without markings) to avoid rug "rules". I also like the panelling in the first pic and you could use wallpaper panelling on one wall to the same effect if you're on a budget. The last 2 pics are just really showing how a cowhide rug and panelling could work in an elegant scheme with industrial touches. Depending on layout I might remove the shelves and add a huge mirror over the dining table although ideally it would be on the long wall to make the room feel wider. Dining tables do look good against the back of sofas which may potentially (!) work if your sofas were opposite each other on the short walls and perhaps the door opened the other way but then I'm not sure where the tv would go!

Could you post a couple of photos of your living room, including the blinds, so we can see the style? You can attach photos to a comment under here. Wait until they are completely clear before you hit submit.

Paint them all Hague Blue. I don’t get the whole painting a feature wall thing - the walls and colour are not the feature, they’re just a backdrop to everything else in the room. Our north facing bedroom is Hague Blue and still feels bright and airy despite the lack of direct sun - white bedding, light flooring and bright accessories

Gorgeous room. I too would choose a colour from the rug and I simply love velvet. Mustard yellow, coral red or emerald green which look great.

Hello! how about a Crimson? The picture you have on the wall shows how it works so well with the hague blue. it would make the space have a lot more energy too, and will probably be everyone's favourite chair : ) You can tie it in with some accent cushions on the other side in the same colour. Good luck with your project! What a great space.
