Inject some wow into my living room.
My living room is a bit blah. We have just moved the furniture around and I like the layout. We did have the 3 seater and tv on the opposite walls but with a smaller corner tv unit.
It's missing something, colour, artwork, rug. but I dont know where to start.
sofa is staying. the tables, tv unit is from ikea, so can change if needed.
the picture above the tv just hasn't been moved across to go above the couch.
ps. please ignore the balance beam, it's not always there. 😅

Please help with tips and ideas to create some character to my living room!?
Comments (10)HI -- I like the red wall but I think the whole room in that would be too much. So right now you need to cut down the contrast of the red wall . Paint a light cream tan on the other walls and also on the ceiling but leave the crown the same color. This will tone down the red and accent the crown molding. You could also use a blueish grey in the same way. Or you could also use a grey with a hint of lavender . Get some color sample cards or pots (benjamin moore paints). Get an idea of the color before you paint the whole area....See MoreLive Chat: How to inject colour into your home with Bright Bazaar
Comments (28)A5) I would start by giving yourself a focal point to refer back to when you are choosing new cushions. This could be a hero piece of artwork hung behind the sofa, or a rug on the floor, for example. Take a picture of this piece on your phone so you can have it with you to compare side by side with new cushions when you are in a shop and making a decision on whether you think they will sit well alongside the artwork within the space. When it comes to pattern, consider the 60/30/10 approach. Stick to 60 percent of a favourite pattern, 30 percent of a second pattern, and 10 percent of a third as an accent. My key tip when you are mixing those patterns together is to mix up the size of the patterns, and be sure to break them up with a solid, too. For example, you could pair a narrow stripe with a medium size geometric or a large-scale floral pattern. When you layer in solids, make sure the colour is from the same colour family as one of the other patterned pieces to keep the overall look cohesive....See MoreI need some ideas for my small living room :(
Comments (22)Ohhh boy! It looks for me as hallway. I would put sectional in the corner and rug. Rug is all the way ,long enough to cover eyesore tile work. Will continue later with ideas....See MoreI could do with some advise on soft finishings for my living room
Comments (6)Where do the white double doors go to? If that is the main entrance into this room I wouldn't put the sofa in front of it. I would put that sofa on opposite side, in front of stairs. The rug I think is far too small. That size might be best in entryway...See More

4 years agoHi,
I'd introduce another colour. Green or blue work really well with brown and beige. Some plants and something on the blank wall above the sofa would be nice. I wouldn't go for another large piece of art, but maybe a picture shelf with some framed pieces on it, or three smaller pieces that work nicely together. Just to give a bit more interest and turn down the scale of things. I've mocked something up for you, to give you a visual. I've put a wooden bench in front of the window to have somewhere to put some plants on. See what you think... Oh, also put a narrow floor lamp in the corner (rug, cushions, lamp all found on the Next site).
