A Barcelona chair is not particularly comfortable. It was designed to go in an extremely sophisticated minimalist exhibition building in case the Queen of Spain needed a short moment of sitting down: it’s all about looks.

When you say some other materials what do you mean. As it's a dining room I'm a little limited as to what other materials I can have. The lights are ceramic and the chairs are fabric so thought that was a contrast. I do have the living room part at the other end of the room that will have a huge comfortable couch plus a rug. I am not a fan of rugs under dining tables from a practicality /hygiene point of view. The other lights I like are these. They are metal and have holes so a little light will come out. I would either paint them white (I paint for a living and these shades are only 27 pounds each so are worth upcycling!! I would need 7 of these. Or if paint them in pastel colours and do some upholstery in the chair tops with white frames. I LOVE the white with the wood. I don't want anything too traditional. I'm going for pendants with E 27 fitting so I can have LED lights brightest that I can. Thanks for responding. Would love to Hear other comments too.

When it comes to using complementary colours, the important thing is to make sure they don't clash. Orange and blue when saturated clash horribly, but dark dull blue (your cupboards) would work beautifully with a dull desaturarted orange such as cognac as suggested by Minnie. As the white and blue and shiny surfaces will create a cool feel I would opt for a materials and colours that will create a contrast in feel and temperature for the lights such as a terracotta. Maybe a white table with wooden chairs. Hopefully these picture may give some ideas on how to use contrasts.

The 8 Designer-Approved Tips I Listened to When Decorating My First Re
Q

When I first moved into my rental home, I was truly stuck on how to decorate the space. After all, the house wasn't technically mine and I would have to adhere to what my landlord would and would not let me do to the space. To say it was a daunting task is an understatement. Working with designers every day, however, has allowed me to pick up quite a few tips and home decor ideas that I could start to add or alter to suit my rented space. After sitting down to make a mood board and have an open conversation with my landlord about what he would and would not allow I finally had a vision for the space. Visit here for idea. So, here are eight tips I used to decorate my rental house that make it feel like my own home. 1. Negotiating paint green bedroom home office with wood and metal desk, metal chair, desk lamp, window frame painted black, blind I am more than aware of the fact that landlords around the world can sometimes be touchy about paint ideas in a rental house, but negotiating adding paint to my rental has easily made the biggest difference in making it feel like home. While I couldn't paint my ceilings, I was given free rein to paint any wall I liked. One of the first things I did to the house was introduce some color to my home office ideas. The room was originally a flat, pale grey but I took inspiration from recent paint trends and had the room redecorated in a deep, lush green. I didn't just add paint to whole rooms, however, instead focusing color on smaller areas of the space to make a statement. The dining room, for example, has an electric fireplace with a wooden surround that was previously (badly) painted a gloss white. Adding a fresh coat of black paint to the surround made my fireplace ideas stand out and look more purposeful than before. If you can't paint in your rental, consider introducing bright colors through other furnishings such as art, soft furnishings, statement furniture, or houseplants to brighten up the space and take the focus away from the less-than-impressive walls. 2. Investing in quality pieces White living room with white curved sofa, purple chair and colorful artwork Rental houses tend to look a little on the cheaper side. Unless your landlord redecorated between each tenant, there will be small marks, cracks, scratches and so on that makes some houses look a little worse for wear. My priority in my new home, then, was to make it look expensive. Story continues My rental was completely unfurnished when I first moved in, giving me a blank canvas to work with. While I was able to add the bare necessities straight away such as a bed and some living room chairs, waiting to purchase investment pieces and even commission bespoke furniture and window dressings added a touch of luxury to my space. Yes, I did have to live for a few weeks with less-than-ideal furniture but the wait was more than worth it. I know that these higher-quality furniture pieces are items I will be able to take with me wherever I move next making the investment worth it in the long run (while also making my rental beautiful in the meantime). 3. Using rugs to disguise the old carpet A white textured rug with armchair My absolute least favorite thing about my rental house is the existing carpets. The brown-colored, low pile carpet covered every inch of the house outside of the kitchen and bathroom. While I have nothing against carpet ideas generally, this carpet is just not the one for me. Adding area rugs to the rooms helped to disguise the existing floor coverings while warming up the space both visually and literally. The luxurious wool carpet in my living room ideas, for example, and a wonderful sense of softness and elegance to the space – and helps me to forget what lies beneath. Adding rugs is also a simple addition to rental property as they do not cause any damage and will protect the existing floor from general wear and accidental spills so my landlord cannot be upset about damage when I move out. 4. Rehanging curtains and window dressings Girl's bedroom with pink patterned and cream curtains, small arched window, beige cozy armchair, cream carpet, colorful wall art, bright yellow side table Although my house came with window dressings, raising the curtain poles and replacing the curtain ideas were high on my to-do list. The original hangings were dumpy, mismatched curtains that were hung a little too low down for my liking. With curtains looking their best hung just a few inches from the ceiling and hanging to reach the floor, this change would have to be made to make a home look more expensive. Changing out the existing curtains also helped me continue my color scheme throughout my rooms. If you are not able to change the height of your curtain ideas, do not panic. Although curtains look best hung from higher up hanging curtains that flow to the floor is a great start in making your rental look that little bit better 5. Changing out hardware and lighting Hanging brown light in a kitchen This is a simple change that I was easily able to do myself, although it took a few learning curves to get perfect. The existing hardware in my home, such as switch panels, cabinet handles, and lighting fixtures, were all builder-grade standardized fittings less than luxury, let's say. Although this was not an urgent change that I made, finally got around to replacing the boring lighting ideas with statement fittings that instantly transformed the space. making this simple change in my bedroom ideas brought the whole space together like a missing puzzle piece. Once I had taken the old handles and fixtures off I simply stored them in a box together in storage to be swapped back out again when I looked to move out. 6. Adding statement art and mirrors Living room with pale grey walls, white cornice, framed maps, dark grey woodwork and mirrored coffee table. Before moving house I had a rather lacking art collection. I had never lived in a property where I was allowed to hang things on the wall before with previous landlords being scared of putting holes in their walls. 7. Don't forget about the kitchen and bathroom A blue free standing bath with four pictures on the wall above I didn't touch my kitchen ideas or bathroom ideas for a long while when I first moved into my rental house. I mean, the rooms seem so finished already, with it basically impossible to remodel a tiled space in a rental. When I had finished up with the rest of the house and I was itchy to continue decorating something, I finally began personalizing these smaller spaces. Besides adding a runner to my kitchen to hide some of the old tiled floorings, I also added bathroom art ideas and kitchen art ideas to warm up the spaces. One of my favorite additions was the battery-operated picture light similar to this one on Amazon above my bathroom mirror and kitchen frames to add some accenting wall lighting to the space without having to rewire anything.

The comment above is very true. I have designed sofas in the past for a hotel lobby, designed to be uncomfortable, as you do not want people in your hotel lobby, you want them in the bar....

I once sat on a barcelona chair and found it super comfortable though. I think it's more about the use you have planned, you know? I think it would be great to curl up in and read a book. But then again, I've met no one that sits in more uncomfortable positions than me ol
