Long dark living room area - how to separate dining living areas?
Comments (6)How about putting the chest of drawers under the window so it is visible when you first walk into the room. Then put the desk where the chest of drawers is currently. I would then get a large storage TV unit for the end wall where the dark furniture is. This would be best in white or taupe to keep it light in that end of the room. You could even get this made in the same units as the kitchen cupboards. I would buy new 3 seater sofas in a traditional or classic style to suit the antiques in a beige colour linen and then two armchairs in a patterned material - floral or stripe to suit your personal taste. I would keep the sofas in the same position and place the two armchairs facing the TV unit, side by side. You would need to make sure the armchairs were placed so they were easy to walk around and they would need to be small but comfortable. Keep the table where it is and update the lamp to a more statement piece. An orchid (fake or real) on the chest of drawers would add a touch of class. I quite like the rug that is there as it goes nicely with the antiques and you could bring out the blues with a few duck egg blue coloured cushions, and a duck egg blue roman blind would soften the window. Just some ideas.... I'd love to see photos when you've finished, it's a lovely space!...See MoreHelp, help living room please!
Comments (6)I think you are playing too safe - it all looks too bland even with the cushions. You need another pop of colour - cushions on the natural sofa. Maybe a throw on the leather one. Definitely need a rug in the middle - looks like you are going for green, so perhaps pick out that colour for a rug. Also maybe a painting/print on the wall behind the natural sofa....See MoreHelp!! living room/dining area.
Comments (2)Hi, I'd paint the wall behind the sofa in a colour that complements your painting. I'd hang the painting and the TV lower. Ikea has some good media unit options that offer storage and a chance to display some lovely items too (Besta). I would also hang a pendant light above the table (in my mock up I used two because it looked better). That will make the dining area feel a bit more cosy. I'd move the glass display unit to the other side of the sofa perhaps. And maybe you could try swapping the armchairs around, so the one that is visually lighter is in front of the windows. Cushions in the colours of the painting would also give a more 'put together' look....See MoreHelp with living/dining room(front door leads to this area)
Comments (1)Just getting my head around those plans, is the door at the top on the left hand wall your front door? If so then personally I would swap the dining table bit with the sofa bit, bringing the sofa down to the bottom right corner on the plans with a big rug under it and the footstool to make a more defined cosy area. I would then have the dining table and your storage at the top bit which acts a bit more like a corridor between your front room and the rest of the flat. Would do my head in if my partner kept walking through while I was settled on the sofa watching a film. It would also then give you the option of push the footstool and chair to one side to give a wide expanse of floor to play on with the little on. Quickly mocked this up on Paint so please excuse (lack of) quality!...See Moreminnie101
