need help with decorating our living / dining room
We have to combine our living room and dining room in one. We are planning to change our sofa to a brushed cotton modern sofa (light grey) and curtains will be lighter and floor to ceiling. I am completely lost at what to do with the walls, lighting, coffee table (too big), additional rug, colour of the dining table and chairs. Add a mirror on the wall near the dining table? What else on the wall? Any advise would be highlight appreciated.

last yearSo you are changing everything? Sofa, dining table and chairs, curtains? Do you prefer a light, bright finish, or something with a bit more colour? May I also ask, would you be up for painting that pine ceiling? It is rather dark and oppressive. A grey sofa is a great neutral, with curtains to match. You could add some table or floor lamps in various corners to create cosiness. A wooden dining table will also add warmth. You can have neutral walls but add a bit of colour with a rug and cushions. Here are some ideas of decorating around a grey sofa.

Comments (0)We moved into our first home just before Christmas and have finally decided to begin working on our living room/dining room! It's a new build property so very plain, and the table and chairs is the contemporary look we want to go for. The sofa, as we've been told in the past, doesn't go with the look we want but unfortunately it's not something we can afford to change at this point..... HOWEVER, we are looking at painting a wall or wallpapering a wall and need some expert advice. Which wall? What colours? Photos below. Thank you in advance!!!...See MoreNeed help with my square living room/dining room!
Comments (3)I tried to place furniture in your room, but do not know where is window or not. So I got what I got. I am sure the round dining table will be better. I just did not have it in my software. Try to move two sofas on different direction. may be both on the corner would be better. Round table is on other corner....See MoreI need help improving my living room and dining room
Comments (15)I think you could put the tv in the opposite corner on the other side of the window, then put the two chairs (if they'll fit) side by side on that wall (with the door) with the table in between. If these are a bit too snug, you could always angle them into the centre of the room. Then the sofa could go opposite the window at right angles to the door, but a little over towards the fireplace wall. This will give you clearly defined "square" sitting room area, which you can further delineate with a rug in your chosen accent colour and then add coordinating or matching cushions and throws. I would then move what I think is a glass cabinet (in the corner of the dining part of the room) to the left hand side of the radiator cabinet. I would then try to move the dining table more towards the kitchen and the now empty corner. For the dining table I would look at getting something like a table runner or a big bowl/vase/ornament with reflects your chosen accent colour which will visually join up the two areas. I would also be tempted to replace one of the pictures with a large mirror. And also perhaps think about getting different wall art....See More

last yearMaybe something like this? The walls are Desert Rose by Paint and Paper which may be worth trying? it looks a big bare without a large plant and accessories but you get the gist. I might get a table with a bench one side so you can push the table against the wall when not in use. I’d zone the sofa area with a rug, the one i chose is supposedly not cream! I’d make sure the sofa has some contrast with the carpet although a rug will help

last yearHello. I was studying your space, and I came up with some ideas. If you are open to them, here they are:
1.Get a brushed cotton sofa with legs at least 8cm; it gives some airiness to a room, making it look more spacious.
2.When choosing a table, allow the minimum distance between the edge of your table and a wall to be 90cm. This is for people to get in and out of their chairs comfortably. In addition, purchase armless dining chairs, which will give you a clean look for your dining space.
3.You asked what to do with a wall with a small window; I suggest having sheers and curtains across the whole wall. It will soften the place and will make a room feel larger.
4.You have little spotlights on the walls, which are excellent for creating a different mood in the evening. They can be nicely framed using decorative moulding. It will elevate your space.
5.If you like a moulding wall design, you can have picture frame moulding. You can even use wallpaper inside those frames. It is a relatively inexpensive way to luxe up your space.
6.Your ceiling has an orange undertone; to tone down that orange, go for cooler undertones in your curtains and upholstery. Here I mean whatever colour you choose, grey for your sofa and a lighter colour for your curtains, look for cool undertones when choosing them. Cool undertones are blues, purples, and greens. When selecting a grey sofa, try to identify the undertone. Does this grey colour have blue, green or purple?
7. I also made a quick visualisation of your space. Please note that this only suggests the layout and the room's look. The furniture is only for guidance, and no advice is provided for the colour palette. The measurements of the room are used for illustration only.
I hope it was helpful and now you can envisage your space much better.
