Living room furniture opinions please
Comments (7)Thanks. I can't see the colour of the curtains but If you are willing to lose the cushions, a pale blue would work with both the tan and gold. The colours at the moment are quite warm so it would nice to add a cool colour to give it some contrast. Given the style of the room I would add an upholstered footstool/coffee table in the blue and cushions etc. As the back window is off centre I am struggling with how 2 tall bookcases would look. A tall bookcase on the left may work with a cabinet/sideboard on the right with lamps etc to give height. I totally get what you've said re the tv but maybe one idea is to get a cabinet that encloses it. I'd move the tv to where the sofa is on the right and move that sofa opposite the other one and place the armchair next to the fire (assuming there is room with photo angles!). If you're going for a dark oak floor I'd go for light oak furniture or even something painted to offset against the floor. It's a lovely room already though so feel free to ignore as I just have a thing about tv's!...See MoreDark grey feature wall - help & opinions
Comments (23)If you are considering going down the dark grey routes, have a look at the paint range by Paint Library or Little Greene Paint Company rather than Farrow and Ball. They both have a much broader range of greys to choose from and you will be able to find a grey with an undertone that works with the rest of your scheme. You can order the colours charts from their websites or from http://www.designerpaint.com/ As you have a brown sofa I would look towards a grey that has some softness from a touch of brown in it. A personal favourite is Paint Library's Monument. It comes out much darker than the colour on their website, but has a softness that I don't think Downpipe does. Also look at Little Greene's French Grey. Having said all that, I think Dabrovska Design's idea of picking up on the jadey green you have in your room from your cushions is lovely. As for where to put the colour, I think the composition of your sideboard would benefit from a strong colour behind it. However, your sofa also looks a bit lost on the pale wall. You could solve all of this through a tonal scheme...the very dark behind the sideboard and the rest of the walls in the palest version of the same colour. Again both Paint Library and Little Greene do 'colour scale' which make these choices very easy for you. You clearly love styling, so I am sure once you pick a couple of new wall colours you will have no trouble tying the whole space together very well....See MoreOpen plan living room layout...opinions please
Comments (5)I think that the old layout is better for maximising space and really allowing room and light. Now that you have a smaller table so the space looks neater, you can reposition the big sofa along the wall (put the longer side to the wall by the table). I have attempted () to draw "before and after" layouts for you. Tell me what you think. Best regards, J...See Morepartial recovering of sofa
Comments (5)I agree just the seat cushion would look odd but think you could get away with the seat cushion and back cushions. I would go for a darker grey so it seems in keeping with the base but it would really make the orange pop....See MoreSonia
