Flooring Living Rooms

Revamp this living room

3 years ago

So I've just bought this new house and am wanting to totally overhaul the living room.

Me and my partner are thinking potentially wooden floors and L shape sofa's but are really clueless when it comes to modern, stylish living space. Nothing in the room will stay other than the fire place & mantelpiece

I'd really welcome any advice or guidance

can you make a sketch of the space with measurements on, and mark on doors/windows.

You mention L-shaped sofas.....as in more than 1? I think a couple of 2/3 seater sofas might be better, depending on room size.
Apart from sofas/TV is there anything else that is to go in this space?

Looks like there is a space round the right....where does that go?

Where is the door into the room?

Help! Very odd shaped living room

We get asked this question quite a lot especially with odd shaped rooms. The best idea of using this space would be too zone the area but also keep a coherent theme running through. You also have to ask yourself what would you be using the space for, socialising, reading, tv or even dining? Here at BoConcept we have an Interior Design service to help you make the most of using the space. Contact one of our team to arrange this & we'll help you utilise all the space to make a stylish and liveable living room. We are more than a collection, we are a concept.

Hi again it was me that replied to the last one. I really like the room the green is lovely and I don't think the furniture is outdated. It just seams dark that's maybe why you think it's outdated. I'd possibly introduce another colour maybe a duck egg blue and add feature paper on the chimney breast where you have it painted brown you can get some lovely wallpaper. Then add cushions and maybe a throw over the sofa with the blue and green colours. Play with different patterns in your accessories. And defiantly keep the dog! Haha! I'll try and find some pictures for you to kind of see what I'm talking about

Help needed with colours for living room walls and floor.

For inspiration: And teal sofa's are great! But I would -personally- not put brown (weathered penny) on the walls. Especially not if it's 'just as dark' as the teal. Pick either a lighter or a darker color. Pale beige/greige, dark moss*. Offwhite would work just fine, as your midcentury vibe will come from your furniture. And orange and apple green should be used for small accents (pillows etc), not on large surfaces. (* Dulux Polished Pebble or Pebble Shore, Bronze Fig, RAL6007 or 6008?)

What colour to paint shelves/trim against wallpaper
Q

Thank you for all the comments! We decided against green partly as I think it would be too much of a contrast - I don’t want the room to be even more fussy - and partly because we have dark blue sofas, and I’m not a fan of blue and green. The pink is a good rich tone and matches the pink in the wallpaper well. I’ve tried to pick out three key colours for the room - pink, blue and white (or orange), plus some highlight colours - yellow, teal and orange (or white). The thinking behind this is that at the top and bottom of the walls the main colours in the wallpaper are pink, orange and white (which also makes me unsure that green would work at skirting level, while the pink might be less drastic). We already have some pink in the room (lamps, cushions) and it works. So there is a kind of method to my madness! I love the idea of floor-length curtains and was originally planning on that but they can’t be hung around the window seat. Thank you for all the help and advice - I wish I’d come on here years ago as this room has been a real headache! We love the wallpaper though and are determined to make it work. The blinds have already been ordered in the fabric shown!!!!!! - I’ll report back with a photo. If it’s a disaster I guess I can make a lot of cushions... x

Morning Ellie, thanks for reaching out!!

I've attached the floor plan of the area of the house in question.

We are looking at turning the study into a playroom for the kids and have other areas of the house for hosting etc so really looking at this area as a place to relax and chill of a night, hopefully without too many of the kids toys making their way in :)

The dimes of the lounge are: 18'11"x12'10"(max) (x(max)) (5.77x3.91(max) (x(max))

Really appreciate any suggestions.

Nice big space. What looks do you like? Bright and airy or dark and moody? Modern and contemporary or something more traditional?

I love both but I think as the first room we walk into the house you'd want it to be warm and light.
