Lamp for living room suggestions
Hi again! Ive really tried to do this without having to ask for help again and yet still struggling on what type of of lamp would work in the living room as shown, the light shade colour and what colour base The ceiling light pendant is gold, there will be a gold/brass clock on the chimney breast and the cushions will be a mix of blues and some monochrome. The windows have simple white wooden venetian blinds. Should I wait until everything is in situ? ideally I want to get cracking on my search - Ive already spent far too long cogitating...and theres the picture frames too. What colour? Black or white frames or gold ? Thank you!

Suggestions needed to finish living room
Comments (5)Thanks Minnie! Great tips. The sofas shouldn't have been overlapping that was just laziness in shifting furniture after three full days of painting (lots of trim painted in other rooms as well as everything in here). Love the idea abou the bookcases, will see how that looks. I'm thinking of possibly painting the coffee table black and getting a piece of glass to put over the top to avoid scratches. I think having the two different woods in the entertainment unit and coffee table doesn't work so well. Plant is a good idea too, am thinking maybe on the left hand end of the long sofa (there's a bit of space there) as my coffee table is more often than not my dining table so needs all the room it can get! planning a trip to ikea for some cheap frames (Being in Australia I don't have b and q or Asda, more's the pity!) and going to make some paint chip artwork. Bringing colour in without needing particular artistic talent or costing the earth! thanks again...See MoreIdeas for Stand Lamps for Living Room

Comments (52)It's hard for anyone to say whether you can do it without knowing your diy skills. I used a decorator with general DIY skills to put up my walls as decorators charges tend to be much cheaper. You could also try a handyman however people would need to know type of fire, finish on chimney breast, size and design Etc. I think you'd be better off getting a few quotes though tbh in as trades differ hugely depending on area. If you're looking to put the tv over the fire do think about a comfortable viewing height ( you might consider a ribbon flame style fire as they tend to be long and skinny so the tv could be hung lower) and I would also recess the tv in the chimney breast so as to protect it from the heat of the fire or consider a mantle over the fire to deflect the heat. there's quite a number of paintings on this link which could work not knowing what style of art you like https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/partners/omarobaid/products...See Morelamp advice for living room
Comments (12)Lovely room, the tables are rather industrial in style so I think something rustic or organic would tie in nicely. The Next one is beautiful but quite blingy so I’m not sure, although I love the blush pink shade! How do you feel about a wood or concrete lamp Base? Found these which I think would look nice, but only a suggestion. The first one is £40 from Matalan, the second is £55 from John Lewis. I use coasters on my side tables. The last pic is my concrete lamp from Dunelm which gives a lovely warm glow. I agree with you that dark shades look smart, but don’t light up a room very well!...See Morepaintchartpolly
4 years agoThe decorator/builder sent a couple photos to me.only. I am hopefully going there this weekend with as much as I can to finish it off. On the right there’s a weird electric housing cupboard in the corner of the alcove so we’ve hidden it by putting a tv which has been placed on a set of drawers , these were meant to go inside a wardrobe but sizing was miscalculated - they are a sort of blue grey grey from Argos so
they were just there and made use of! In the photo it looks very lost but it doesn’t look that bad in reality. I’m not keen on the drawers as they don’t look like proper furniture , I was out voted on it though -“it will do” kind of thing !!
So you think gold light base and gold frames? The walls are painted in Timeless, off white by Dulux
I didn’t appreciate how difficult it would be to do this from afar! ( above the tv I’m thinking a picture or a shelf)

4 years agoIf you prefer a more organic look rather than glitz, how about these? The first two are from M&S and the bottom 2 from Wayfair (great co with good customer service). These are just ideas that I feel would look good with the blue and grey. Sorry to hear about your step dad, you must be feeling in quite a tizz at the moment.

4 years agoI don't know what you think of this lamp? I love the art, it's really pretty. I like the wood frames they're shown in but brass would work. Just thinking heron/crane/peacock cushions could work with the ginkgo art ( I really like the first cushion with the art, it's from junique although the other 2 from dunelm pick up the gold accents) . I'd just buy 2 of these dearer ones and mix with plain, cheap ones in different textures in different shades of blue and blue green (again would try dunelm)
