How would you decorate my living room?

Hello,
I have just painted my living room neutral and put some panelling up.
I am going to replace the tv unit and would like to buy a coffee table or two and some soft furnishings such as cushions and a throw, plus art and ceiling lights (x2)
Does anyone have some suggestions for this space?
I’m thinking a black tv unit might make the space look smaller and I’m looking for calming, beige luxe hotel aesthetic.
Thanks,
Charlotte

How would you decorate this living room?
Comments (21)Hi everyone! He's been living there over 20 years now and completely revamped the room when he first moved in (adding in the fireplace, dado rail, adding the fan design to the ceiling!). It all looked very fresh when it was first done but 20 years is a long time. The ceiling is just standard, the holes you can see are from where he's having spotlights put in. I've searched Egyptian Cotton and agree that this is a lovely warm neutral, thank you for the recommendation I will definitely let him know to check it out. I love the idea of viewing the outside window as a feature wall and incorporating these natural elements into the room, my dads house backs on to woodlands and is surrounded by trees so it's all very green out there....See MoreHow would you lay out this living room?
Comments (6)That's much like our sitting room. We currently have a 2 seater sofa at 90 degrees to the fireplace with another directly opposite the fireplace, so kind of L shaped. TV to the left of fireplace and a single Stressless chair between TV and door. We have a bench seat in the bay window, delivered today. We also have a piano in the room plus book shelves from chimney breast to external wall. We have the same shape in our bedroom which was more of a challenge but bedhead against chimney breast works for us....See MoreWhat colour/style of living room furniture would suit my living room?
Comments (4)Going for a white sofa would help create a light and airy living room. The white sofa would match the airy elements you already have in the room: the light pastel wallpaper and blue chimney heart, the white skirting, the light coloured wooden flooring. The black of the fireplace hearth can be tied together with details like black legs for the white sofa, black legs (maybe hair pin legs) for a white coffee table or for a cabinet (cabinets with legs look very smart: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alisoncaporimo/legs-for-days). Black cross legged lounge chair & ottoman in a navy blue would match the navy curtains. See through furniture helps for an uncluttered feel: transparent chairs, glass table, thin furniture legs, x leg ottomans. The window coverings also have to be in light materials. Consider introducing flowy sheer fabric with or instead of the navy curtains. White or light pastel coloured area rugs in the room and avoid choosing area rugs featuring heavy and busy patterns. Braided area rugs in pastel and light colors also make a good selection. Some pictures below:...See MoreHow would you set up this room for living/dining space?
Comments (6)It's a lovely room. Are you buying new furniture or trying to make your existing furniture work because an L shaped sofa might work well in the space and allow for two separate zones. Also, how many people do you need seating for? Can you get away with a small dining table for every day that extends for visitors?...See MoreCharlotte Johnson
