Modern lounge with mustard velvet sofa and half painted walls

4 years ago

I've been working on finishing my lounge and I'm thrilled with the results. I've gone for half-painted walls, a mustard yellow velvet sofa, finishing with round coffee tables and cowhide rug.

Just did an on-line search for "grey and teal and living room", and this thread came up. Love your ideas, and the advice you received. How did your room turn out? Can you post some pics? (I'd like to do something similar in our new rear extension which is approaching the fun decoration time).

Hi Kerri, congratulations on your new home ! We definitely think you should keep the floating shelves as they make a great wall feature, and as you suggested, painted in a shade of grey will look very stylish. We’ve seen a rise in people move away from various shades of creams and beiges that have dominated the past decade and welcome greys into their homes – with it being the most-in demand colour for 2017. There are so many different shades of grey from light silvers to dark bolds that they work well with just about any colour scheme and aren’t a scene stealer. Carpets are also a great place to start introduce greys, are they make an excellent base shade and work well on walls, curtains or fabrics – suiting both a period and contemporary decorating scheme. If you have a lighter colour scheme, try a lighter shade of grey, such as our Sensation Supreme range in colour Brimstone http://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/product_sensation-supreme/product_sensation-supreme.php. Or if you dare to be bold, how about our Sensation Twist collection in Charcoal which looks great with pastels, as well as oranges, hot pinks and bright whites http://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/product_sensationtwist/product_sensationtwist.php.

If you need to accommodate so many people the you will need a big dining table as you can fit in more dining chairs than sofa spaces. If you are going to have a big table then the hearth is in the way and you should remove the fireplace. I also think dividing the room with a chaise sofa will conflict with the large dining table and a sofa and footstool will give you more flexibility. The moto here is to plan what you want to buy before shopping- for instance you might well decide to buy a 2.5m long table but equally might decide that you need to find sofas that are no deeper than 95cm. You might also consider the proportions of things- for instance checking the dining chairs will all fit around the table, finding sofas with smaller arms, choosing furniture in paler colours. You might also think about hanging the door the other way and moving the light switch. TV- you should check the alcove is big enough for the tv you want- the chimney breast may be bigger and a free alcove is somewhere for another chair. Decorating- I think you should buy the big items then choose the wall colour- find two sofas you like, choose a flooring and curtains then select your paint colour. Personally I think you should choose a neutral you like for your house and then an accent. For instance (from the Farrow and Ball paint chart) you might choose to paint your woodwork ‘All White’ and your walls ‘Old White’ or ‘Elephants Breath’ then paint the front window wall and the dining room wall between the kitchen door and the hall door a deep colour such as ‘Bancha’ or ‘Pelt’. These strong colours work well when framing something such as an oversized mirror or curtains. The neutrals are great as they look different in every room so you can paint every room the same for a feeling of continuity but make them feel different with different accessories. Decoration- if you remove the fireplace I can imagine this room might feel a little featureless- you might consider adding coving, a ceiling rose, feature light fitting and perhaps an impressive floor such as an engineered wood or parquet. You might also consider mirrors to make the space feel bigger- be careful not to clutter walls with lots of little things- choose fewer statement big pieces.... I would consider a floor standing mirror on the wall between the hall door and kitchen door- especially if you have painted it a confident colour. I might also look into antique mirror tiles for the alcove above the built in cupboard (and possibly the alcoves in the lounge too). Ps- before you start decorating consider if you need more power points- now is the time to do them.

Hi Joe, It would be fair to say the cushions do move about quite a bit and I have to nudge them back into position - particular the seat cushions. They probably move about because they're fairly light and hold their shape firmly so they shift around. The benefit of this is that the sofa holds its shape and still looks smart 2.5 years after purchase despite a lot of use. The particular fabric I have is very hard wearing. When you look close up the fabric is quite mottled so it is fairly forgiving. We have two young children who eat and drink on the sofa and the fabric still looks good as new. The sofa is comfy yet you are sat fairly upright, rather than slouching into it if that makes sense. I'm happy with it because I wanted something that wouldn't show stains, wasn't overly expensive (so that we didn't need to stress with the children) yet it still looks smart. I think it really depends on your circumstances and how you need your sofa to work for you.
