Other Living Rooms Design Dilemma

shelving composition

5 years ago

I have been struggling with shelving compositions for some time now? Especially with the structure/design of this one, it was previously loaded with my intense dvd collection but realised it definitely needed an upgrade to suit the decor of my lounge... what are your thoughts on this??

Do you mean what do we think of how you’ve re-arranged it? If so, I think that’s nice.

Indeed, that is what I mean .. it’s not something that is wowing me at the minute? Perhaps it’s because of the clash of objects ?? That don’t really work together??

A7. Bon Après midi Chloe, I have just recently returned from Southern France and have fallen in love with French rural design, I'm an avid fan of dinning tables for both family and friends to eat and be sociable, if your room is an open kitchen/dinner then embrace the room as one rather than trying to separate them. as for shapes, sizes, and materials clear the intended space mark off the options using either newspaper or masking tape leaving room to walk around don't forget where the chairs will be, this will help you decide how big or small the table can be and how it will fit around your existing furniture as for materials you cant go wrong with a sturdy wooden table with linin and a centre piece. all the best to everyone with their projects and thank you for your questions, until next time Adieu,

I agree with OnePlan. If you keep the walls and skirting the same colour it makes walls look taller, I can't see from the plan how tall yours are. Keeping the full height bookcases in the same colour as the walls will also add to the illusion of space. I really like the sound of your colour scheme. The only thing for me in making the beautiful blue stand out would to not have the grey grout, but that's just down to personal preference. As you don't need to choose the grout till the last knockings, when the tiles are up, stand back and look them ungrouted and then decide if you want white or grey. Going with white adds to cleaner lines. Good luck with what sounds like a great project x

You should also look at some space saving furniture, There are so many brilliant ideas out there - ottomans that contain extra seating, wall mounted stools which would work with the drop leaf table idea previously mentioned (otherwise you have to find space for them when the table is not there). Also coffee tables that transform (lift up) into dining tables so you could actually do away with the one in the kitchen and perhaps have a slimline coffee bar there instead. I guess it depends again on how often you will use the formal dining table

Very smart transformation. Only thing I don't think is the logs which would gather dust and spiders! Rest is fabulous

Not sure what to suggest... but I think the first 2 shelves (top and middle) work well.
Maybe bottom one need something more substantial ? Feels a bit bare that last one.

If you fill that vase with a nice full plant and a few more books on the bottom shelf, I think it'd be more balanced.

I think the top shelf needs more height with the bust. A spiky succulent would reference the pineapple (assume it‘s a plant holder!). The bottom shelf needs more filling. You could prop art (plus add a plant) and maybe reference the brass again in some way . It may work better swapping the plant to the other side

I think it’s really good. I have two big bookcases full of books and CDs so I do struggle to keep it looking good. I agree the book on the bottom shelf looks lonely so add a few more. A plant is good and a succulent, whether it’s tall or short, will look good. I think the snake plant (was called mother-in-laws tongue!) is tough and very hard to kill, only needs a water once a month, may sit well on the bottom shelf.
