Please help me pull this together!!

We have got ourselves a new Sofa as are trying to decorate our living room. I went for dark teal sofa which I love. The only issue am having is how to pull the room together. I have left buying mirrors and wall art for later as I don’t want to rush and regret. The flowers will go away if need be so as the few bits in the alcove. Can Houzzers enlighten me on colours and deco ideas please? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Lovely room but the walls are rather bare. Maybe a mirror over the fireplace and art on the other walls. A coffee table or a footstool in the middle of the room would be nice too. Here’s some inspirational pics.

Very much like my hall (almost identical except ours is 1922 and thus the detail is a tad more Edwardian in influence) ! I've added a wall light on the wall going up the stairs and matching pendants from Fritz Fryer and added a plain paper from Zoffany (called 'silk plain') . Thus the basic scheme is very plain and layered up with artefacts (tables, hall chair, paintings). I've added mirrors to throw light around the place..and am hunting for a distressed antique one to go right at the top of the stairs facing you. It looks as though your stairs go to left and right too... so adding the mirror will I think create more light and ambiance in that rather dark junction. I do agree that it would be lovely to have the stained glass replaced in the door. I added full door curtains with a upholstered pelmet over the door which makes it look much less stark (personally I don't think the little shelf at right adds anything and I'd remove it ;( ). . I chose an embroidered linen from Sanderson for the curtains and used the same fabric for the landing window and hooked that back with a French swan neck holdback and they were hung from a brass reeded Jim Lawrence curtain pole which goes very well with the Fritz Fryer lighting fitments. It's still work in progress as our beautiful carpet had to be removed due to allergy and we're still trying to get the best result on the oak floor in the hall. Be lovely to see what you do given your layout is so similar! :)

Hi Monica. The kitchen looks great. I'd go for a light grey on the walls, you could look at farrow and ball strong white or a darker grey such as cornforth white , both should work with the floor which has grey tones. Can you take more pics of the seating end and give dimensions? I'm just wondering if a small sofa would be better next to the kitchen units (broken up by a really tall plant) with a chair in the corner between the doors with a lamp behind? The compact sofa, chair (also comes in grey and yellow) and floor lamp are all m&s. I like Monica's idea of enamel pendants, these are by pooky. Will you be dressing the windows at all? I'd accessorise with lots of different textures and plants to get that scandi feel. I'd look at a mirror splashback which will also make the room feel wider, I like an antiqued effect for texture but you may prefer a plain one. If you're keeping the walls very light then a few accessories such as picture frames will work

It's a big project! Check out Resh's renovation project, here on Houzz. I'll see if I can find it for you, hold on.... Here it is, I think there are three parts. You might get some inspiration from it :-) https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/victorian-renovation-in-london-part-2-dsvw-vd~4911251

Okay, I´ve quickly tried some things out or you, that you may or may not like. But just to give you a visual and hopefully some ideas. I think that as long as you get the colours coming back, maybe in different strengths, it´ll all work together. The photo that you like is the Decorating Design Ideas one, I think? If you look closely, you'll see that black & white graphic patterns return, yellow, pink and turquoise too. And the wood and leather and gold are all warm tones that are close together.. Top it all off with plants and voila, you have your eclectic room ;-) I think the rug brings it all together

All the images came from Pinterest. I went back to see who sold it and it was in the US and all sold out, so sorry about that. I find Etsy very good for all sorts of artwork and crafts so may be worth a look on there? A soft pink, or even a bright pink, would go really well with your sofas. 😊

Hi Dela, I had a quick look on Etsy and the amount of art they have for sale runs into the thousands (Quantity not price!). I searched Teal seascapes and loads came up. I took screen shots of these few, but do have a look as art is such a personal thing. I’ve bought several bits and bobs on there and they are very reliable, although I always pay via PayPal, just in case!

This is a better image of the art I used from John Lewis, which you may like if you like Sonia’s one 😊

Ah lovely! Thank you so much Sonia and Minnie. I have bought a wall paper from Etsy before so I should be ok. What do you guys think of a gold trim edge mirror on top of the fire place?

I think gold frame mirror should work (even with the chrome of the fireplace).👌

Maybe change the green on the TV... 😊

I think a gold frame, or even a brass one, would look nice especially if it’s a round one (hint hint) 😊
