All in one kitchen & living space

We renovated our kitchen a couple years back and extended it so that it's now a kitchen and living space all in one. I love grays and greens so went with those colours along with porcelain floor tiles. The room leads onto our living room which also has gray/green theme and wooden floors. It's a slightly louder green than the kitchen.
I'm now looking to try make the kitchen/living space feel a little warmer/cosier. Any suggestions?

Paint ideas living space
Comments (13)I'd paint white the TV wall in oder to make it visually higher and to hide the white color of the door, now the dark color under lines that it is rather low and different from two main doors color and height of third one. I like brown FP wall, it works good with sofas and will attract eyes visually raising the ceiling above TV furniture. And one more thing I'd think about: the 1-st photo shows that there are too much unconnected different heights (doors, mirror, TV furniture, FP wall, ceiling). Definitely some heights are needed to be connected. I'd put lower the mirror and the shelf above FP so that the TV furniture and the mirror up lines were the same height. To bring more colors into the room as it was mentioned above I'd pick up some colors from the art work for cushions and curtains....See MoreOpen Plan Kitchen \ Living Design Advice
Comments (0)Hi, We're looking for some design options for a house we are planning to buy. We love the house location but the kitchen \ living area is proving to be a bit of a dilemma. There is a lot of glass in the kitchen area with full length windows to the front and rear which limits the options for layouts. We had a kitchen design prepared but are unsure if this really makes the best use of the space - it includes a corner dining area which while using the space feels a bit cramped for a family of 5. Due to the door position into the kitchen the builders design looks odd as they have placed the kitchen table right in line of sight of the front door so placing the table there seems a no no. We want to have an island in the kitchen ( its plumbed etc for one ) which we can have up to 5 high seats around which is in the design. We would like to have a TV in the room ( again limited places to put one on the walls due to the glass ) and would like some suggestions on layouts there also ( maybe the TV has to go ! ) - without something that completely blocks the access to the rear doors. Any thoughts gratefully received !...See MoreLarge 1970s internal refurb to open plan, larger living spaces
Comments (2)Another option that I was thinking of, knock the internal glass walls of the conservatory and make the hall smaller - this leaves a very large open plan space (9m x 6.4m) but I have no idea how best a space like this could be used?? Can anyone give me their thoughts here? Need to move if I am to make an offer...See MoreLove some advice for our open living/kitchen/office space.
Comments (0)Hello I would love to hear some advice on redecorating our open living/kitchen/office. When I first painted it we were going for that clean modern look of gray/white/yellow. Its been years like this and now with us working from home the room has a cold, office like energy to it. It's amazing how you can live in a space and not really see it for what it is. Looking at these pictures I'm ashamed to think this has been our living conditions for so long. Its been well over a year since we removed the fireplace I still have not gotten around to painting that bit of skirting board. The ability to make tangible improvements to my everyday reality has been right there at my fingertips and I failed to notice. ''High is the way but all eyes are upon the ground'' The large wall hanging was our latest attempt to add some colour. My girlfriend is drawn to those earthy colours or boho look. I'd like to make it a cosier/warmer space. With the great recommendations I've seen in other threads here I'm excited to see what advice you have....See More

11 years agoHave only seen three pics and none of the living area. I think the comment about the sectional was based on the fact that it overlaps the rug and door/window, giving the impression that it is too large for the living space. If you had the room this might be nice to stretch out on in front of the fire.

11 years agoThanks everyone. The couch actually fits perfect when I bought it but my husband changed the direction of it so the arm wouldn't block the tv - bit of a sore subject as it totally bugs me!!
Having done some research I've come across some Darrow and ball light teal colours and some ligh greys. I'm swaying toward the idea of getting rid of the white and going grey on all walls with maybe a teal rug.
Thanks for the tip with pillows - I have so many as the baby is just learning to sit and porcelain floors are so not child friendly!!!

11 years agoAny suggestions on a warm grey colour? Going to take the the plunge and get rid of the white walls with the exception of the wall by the window.
Also, suggestions on dining room table colour?? I have maple at the moment and it doesn't work. Here's a pic of the current table & chair colour
Lastly, the wall the radiator and tv is on - I'm thinking of a darker grey, urbanite by dulux is one colour I'm thinking.
Again, main objective is to warm up the space. Thanks everyone, loving the houzz site!!
