Desperate for advice&help with our living room
Comments (31)Chesterfield and contemporary are two completely different styles. The ornateness and detailing of the Chesterfield would make the modern stuff look bland, and the modern sleekness would make the Chesterfield look overly busy and fussy. I'll never say never but it is hard to see how these two ideas, as exemplified by your two wildly divergent sofas, could co-exist successfully. How about keeping the glassy red leather idea, but finding it in a sleek modern sofa with no tufting and squarer lines? Or keep the red Chesterfield, lose the gray sofa, and find updated transitional chairs in mid-gray modern tweed?...See MoreNeed help with our living room...
Comments (8)yes I agree with gravel.....pick a theme and edit out all the things that don't work. Personally I think the room is quite grand and I like the fireplace and windows but think the floor and walls are a little too light. Consider a bolder wall finish and then perhaps change the frames of some of your pictures so they work better together. The room might benefit from pattern. A patterned rug would work and would be practical with children but choose a pattern large enough for this big room. Since the windows are such a nice feature consider leaving them undressed and remove obstructions so that you can see the garden....See MoreLong and narrow living room, please help!
Comments (10)It might be worth looking into a stove with a faux chimney breast. Just looking at your sofa, lamps etc it looks as if you like a classical/transitional style? If you did opt for that and it's feasible to install again I might position it off centre. http://www.woodburners.com/installations/no-chimney,-no-problem.html you may hate this idea but I have a large oriental wardrobe next to my fire which houses the tv. Your tv doesn't look huge so it may be an option if of course you like it. I only know of this one which is an actual tv cabinet or you could do as we did and drill holes in the back of the wardrobe (it obviously needn't be an oriental one but one that doesn't scream wardrobe!) https://www.oka.com/peking-handpainted-chinoiserie-tv-cabinet.aspx Although if you had a fire as the focal point you may find the tv fades into the background or paint the alcoves a darker shade etc. Re rug I suppose it depends if you move the leather seats into the play room but something with a subtle pattern might look nice? Have you looked for anything else to replace the leather? I like the storage unit you've found. It looks as if your side tables would work the other way round so you could have a media cabinet for cd's and dvds where the toys are currently stored or an apothecary cabinet may work well....See MoreLooking for Design advice - Kitchen Living Room and Downstairs Space
Comments (10)Hi Preethi! You definitely have the space to create the rooms that you want. There are lots of ways you can do this. The main thing is to get clear on what you need and want from each of these rooms - how you want to use them and what the flow needs to be from one space to another for you to be able to enjoy living in your home with ease. The best starting point is to create a vision for your home. You can get a taster of my unique method for creating your vision with my free Design Your Home Vision Checklist that you can get here: https://www.i-architect.co.uk/dyhvchecklist.html Another thing you can do is assess your floorplan by colouring in red all spaces and areas that are underused - this will help you to see which spaces are most easily available for you to repurpose. Best wishes with your home redesign!
