Help with odd shape lounge design
Comments (17)There are lots of very minor and/or free tweaks that you can do to the whole floor space which will change the feel and lift it. Firstly move the floor standing lamp (and side table?) out of the way and push your sofa right up with an inch or two to spare before it touches the wall. Then on the opposite end site the lamp (and side table?) and put your telephone on it rather than balancing it on the back of the sofa. By moving the sofa up, the space immediately feels larger when you walk in. The lamp by the door and over the back of the sofa will serve two functions -1. it will make a nice soft over light for reading or relaxing & 2. it demarks room division (which you have done very nicely with the shape of your sofa.) Next move the sideboard to the right of the radiator so it is covering the plug points to the left of the fireplace (as you look at the fireplace sat on the sofa) Hang the wall mirror over it and keep what you have on it already - that's a good job. You now have penty of space to walk around the table especially if dining guests are mingling bewteen the kitchen, dining room and lounge. Lower the height of the mirror and wall art - it should be at eye level. You have lots of lovely art in similar frames. They are mounted a little too high and you could gain more impact by grouping them as they are relatively small in size. Re. the art I would suggest making the frames darker in order to match the dark chocolate colour of the sofa. At the moment you have lots of oak (incl. the floor) and consequently nothing is "popping out" as a feature. Darkening the frames will achieve this along with grouping the art. You have a great colour palette but maybe you could add a colour pop? Gold or organge would add to the space - change the rug, add a throw, fill the mantel piece with vases and containers of flowers of various heights in a couple of colour popping colours and bijouterie. Add texture. What you have done so far looks great but sometimes it takes a fresh eye just to tweak. I am at this stage with my lounge. I'll be posting it up in a week or two. It's finished but it's missing something and I don't know what!...See MoreAwkward living room with 2 doors - please help!
Comments (8)Well done for waiting 2 years because often our use of a space changes from first thoughts. In the photos the walls are reading a green undertone and the carpet as a pink-beige. I like your idea of replacing the carpet with wood flooring. A few suggestions- wall mount the TV on a moveable arm bracket, change sofa in front of kitchen door with 2 chairs, bring other sofa forward more in line with bookcase, add large rug in front of sofa, put table and chairs against wall under mirror, add a few side tables and lamps / standing lamps, add living or faux foliage for colour. Let me know how you do. Good luck. Warm regards, Liz...See MorePlease help with exterior/front door colours
Comments (7)Thanks so much for responding, I love greeny/grey colours but our next door neighbour has their front door that colour so didn’t want to appear to be copying. Grey might be nice but do you think it will go with the existing creamy colour of the render or will it look a bit odd? We are due to repaint it anyway, so could change the colour of the render? Many thanks, Sam...See MoreDesign home office/guest room in odd shaped room
Comments (3)Hi, assuming the window wall is 3.40 and the fireplace wall is 3.94? Would something like this work? You could 'incorporate the desk in the bookcase(s). I'd move the radiator to under the window. Leave some space between desk and wall for air flow. Or make slats or something above the radiator to let air through....See MoreL K
