Blank canvas dining room! Advice please
Comments (3)I think wallpaper might make the room look smaller. Warm grey would be good, with a lighter shade on the other walls. The table legs look painted - you could paint the chairs too, to tone in with the walls, or alternatively contrast with them in a colour that would tie in with the rug. A large mirror on the right hand wall would help the illusion of more space, and pictures elsewhere, small ones in different shapes but same colour frames artistically arranged. More lights will be good....See MoreHelp with layout for living room needed / blank canvas
Comments (4)Hi. I'm not sure if the sofa is going to be best sat opposite the fire as the sofa width is wider than the alcove? I'd put a console behind the sofa to dress with lamps etc. if you have the tv in the larger alcove have you thought about using a console table? Either one with a large single drawer for the sky box (will need a magic eye or whatever they're called plus a hole in the back for leads!) or one with a shelf at the bottom. They seem quite difficult to find in the right size but have found one below. Perhaps a chair facing the sofa kind of angled semi in the alcove with a floor lamp behind . Re oriental feel, oka have quite a few oriental inspired accessories etc so maybe a lamp and a piece of blue and white china. They also do faux hydrangea which would suit your look and some lovely cushions! You could also consider a darker wallpaper in the alcoves similar to pic that will follow just as an idea to add pattern. A French grey would be lovely, just check the undertones with your sofa. I'm not sure if you have the sofa already but try placing paper templates in the room if not. http://www.lauraashley.com/uk/made/furniture/p/brunel-console-table...See MoreWith a blank canvas, how would you lay out your open plan living area?
Comments (18)I had a similar design quandary - hunt for OnePlan on Houzz. She has a sliding scale of design charges, and we paid for a couple of hours design work. She came up with several designs for us, and we were able to make some changes which she incorporated into the final sketch. We're currently getting quotes for the actual build....See MoreBlank Canvas and need ideas for Kitchen/Living/Dining
