Id love to get your thoughts on how best to design this room. I am soon moving into this house, and as such none of the furniture will be there. Do I keep it similar or do something different with it? The floor, wallpaper and curtains will be the same. Thank you!

Comments (14)Aliceandjohn I think your best bet is to search Houzz for inspiration rooms and ask yourself whether you like white rooms that use colour, or rooms with colour on the walls that have neutral furniture. (Or both? Either?) Collect a whole lot of pictures you like and see what predominates -- what makes you say yes, please, I want that! Categorise them, count them, make lists, do anything even if it seems silly. It costs zilch and tells you a lot about what you want....See MoreLiving Room Renovation

Comments (16)The pictures you have above the sofa would serve you better if displayed in a hallway or foyer or even in a larger collection of photos in a family room. You definitely need more color in this room and a larger area rug. The sofa and wall colors look the same on my computer, so I suggest you paint the walls a color that will make the sofas stand out more. I also would suggest you find a much larger, print area rug that contains an accent color and center it in the room. Perhaps you could find a large, colorful picture to serve as wall art and also as the inspiration for the color scheme and especially for the accent color I suggested. In addition to the rug, you could use the accent color in throws and throw pillows to be placed on the sofas. I also would like to suggest that you add a wide piece of white-painted trim above the windows/patio doors (whatever) and attach the metal rod to this piece of trim. The trim will add emphasis to the glassed-in space as well as to the dark-colored rod and curtains....See Moreliving room
Comments (6)I believe a Woodburning stove should not be closer than 36" to any wall unless it has a stainless steel heat shield attached to it. I'm no expert however, but if the wall is getting that hot that it is affecting the paint, you need to probably address the problem. Heat resistant paint is a Trade thing and only comes in very limited colours, white, black, cream etc. You may find this forum post useful:- woodburning stoves and heat resistance...See MoreS McC

9 years agoMirrors should reflect something you want to see two of, so usually a view or a killer chandy, The room above is very beige, but that's been broken up with the colorful pillows. Blue and beige can ba a nice combo.

9 years agoOne other thing...do you think this mirror would look well over the fireplace or would I be better off sticking with a rectangle and keep it simple?
