Comments (35)Catching up on this thread! Thanks for all the replies. Always really good advice. @petersmummy thanks! Yeah I'm maybe overthinking what to put on the table haha. Feels like the consensus is to put a rug under the table. @Resh Thanks! Different opinions are always welcome :) I think you are probably right. It is wood overload. I've went back and forth a few times on painting the windows and panels. I think I ultimately will paint it white to brighten the room, freshen the finish and match the skirting and door. It's just difficult to bring myself to paint over it. Complementing with a different colour could be tricky I think. I'm not so keen on painting the floor or the table. The floor is the same in all the other rooms so I think that keeps things cohesive. The top of the table needs refinished so I could choose a different wood stain. Your home looks amazing!! It's great! I do actually like colour I'm just not sure how to use it haha. @minnie101 wow that was a while ago! But I got some great advice from you and others that I eventually got round to doing. Thanks for your help! :) I remember how it looked when I first went to view the place. I think its going in the right direction thanks to the help from you guys! (attached some photos) Thanks for the photoshop pictures! They are really helpful to see how it might look. Yeah I think there probably is room for a circular or oval rug. The ceiling light I will likely replace with one of the suggestions above - a brass mobile/sputnik style chandelier. Those wall lamps are pretty awesome! They look great. Would have to be fitted fairly high so people can still use the space behind the sofa to walk to the dining area. I don't have much in the way of art so far. I have a print of this on the left hand side of the fireplace. Even though it is a fair size it looks a little small on the wall to me next to the surround and large mirror. I'll check that site out thanks. Vases look awesome! I'll give that a go....See MoreFinishing touches for living room
Comments (46)I totally agree with Maths Wife. It's a lovely room, but when I look at the pictures I see the TV first. When you are not watching it, it might feel a bit strange facing a wall with just a black glass rectangle there. Solid black next to anything pale creates such a strong contrast that it dominates visually, this is why people sometimes paint a TV wall a dark colour, it then recedes. Another ploy is to make the TV part of a gallery wall so that there are other things to relate it to. I like the image above showing a long wide unit with a lamp, mirror etc. Compare the above images with the TV with the last one without and you can see how black dominates....See MoreHELP: How to finish our living room?
Comments (13)I would keep the curtains simple and go for natural unbleached linen which looks amazing with Inchyra Blue. Some graphic artwork would really lift it. There is a screen printer artist called Maxine Sutton who produces beautiful collaged screen prints, some original and some Giclee prints, quite affordable. I have one of hers in my lounge. You can find her on Instagram or just google her. You could pick out a colour from some artwork as and edging, cushions etc....See MoreMarina Drobot at Cinnamon Space
