8 years agoHi, playing with the idea of large art work vs large mirror. I moved a large art piece from dining room here to visualize what it would look like. I think the colors are a bit strong for the look I'm going for so I wouldn't move this specific piece here. For size reference it is about 40 inch by 50 inch with frame.
The other option is large floor mirror. The horchow one zz mom listed above is on sale $ 525 . It measures 44 width by 79 height.
Another idea many have mentioned is console table in opposite wall. I could also put the art piece or the mirror above that ? I could bring in black or just stick to whites ?
Thoughts on floor mirror vs large art piece? Thanks in advance

Narrow living space
Comments (1)can that wall be remover between kitchen and table? if so could you put a narrow island in kitchen with a table/counter running off of it into current dining area. this would be alot narrower and allow for more storage unser the window plus open up ypur living space more. also furniture is very dark for a small space and table and chairs seem very big. could you paint ceiling white and light fixture a brighter colour.. all these things should make it seem bigger. the picture i have attached would be quitw narrow and just an idea i saw on houzz....See MoreI need your help! - how to furniture a small living space

Comments (3)Difficult to say without knowing the style of your furniture you have/like. One thing I noticed, is that the previous owners did have the curtains just above the window frame. It looks better if you hang them closer to the ceiling. Makes the ceiling appear higher. Also, if you are going for curtains too, have the rods wide enough to be able to have the curtains next to the windows instead of in front of them, when open. I'd advise you to create one or more ideabooks here on Houzz, so we can see what style you like....See Moreliving room layout - help
Comments (0)Hi there I’m building a new house and need to buy furniture as we are about 12-16 weeks out now. I have struggled with furniture layout as had originally been thinking of a corner couch in the middle or the roof so fire and tv would be visible when you sat down, but I drew it on floor in chalk and all it did was create a walkway around the couch with no real space for anything else - eg additional chair at the back end of the room etc. Felt to me like a waste of space and no function. I seem to have a lot of window and not so much wall to work with and as the ceiling is vaulted at the end where I have the fireplace seems to me would be odd not to orientate the furniture towards that view! I’ve drawn an alternative option in a programme I found online which I set out below with some pictures. The ceiling is vaulted to about 4.5 metres or so at the wall where the plant is in the picture below. Inset fire on that wall and tv on wall opposite over a sideboard. Any suggestions / improvements would be greatly appreciated- many thanks I’m advance!...See Moreemehouse1

Smallest 24x24 and then largest 40x40.

8 years agoJust a thought, how about removing the lamps and end tables to the outside of sofas? Push the sofa closer to wall and hang large mirror between the 2?
Other end... or add sofa tables behind for lamps. Gives a more interesting look to back of sofa. If you don't have room to have 2 tables and 2 sofas, then just do 1 and place floor lamp in corner by window.

8 years agoI'm new to the thread, but I must say that I love your room and love the glamorous vibe you are aiming to achieve. I love Mark's rendering; of course I recognize the artist, and if I'm right, she has a very sophisticated style.
I also love the idea of adding a splash of color to the walls. With your neutral palette, you could choose to go in just about any direction with art. I love the idea of art, though, instead of a using a mirror for your space. The right size art is an important factor to consider here, though.
Hope these pictures help inspire you. Good luck!

8 years agoThis is a really pretty piece of art from zgallery..on sale now 20% off..really nice size for the price. May be a good option over sofa table or chest if you put one across from mirror on opposite wall.

8 years agoHi. So still playing with all the ideas you've all mentioned. Here is picture of wall paper ( in place of large art piece ) 78 width by 64 length. I put one lamp in corner ( in place of possible floor lamp).

8 years agoThe Art pieces I have found that are oversized and fit my budget are here . Some are square though not like th pictur of my wall paper which is wider than it is taller. Thoughts on size? I was thinking one floor lamp or no lamps at all with this set up. Thoughts. I could put console table with lamp on opposite wall as some have suggested?

8 years agoIf I go black I know I'd probably have to move the rug and introduce more black. I was thinking if I do go that direction a floor lamp like this

8 years agoThe IKEA BEST would work...Not a bad deal...sure would be a lot of pieces to put together but if on a tight budget it has a nice look with the high gloss. I was shopping on Houzz and found a few buffets you might like for a very reasonable price.

8 years agoHi. I've come across yet another idea that I'm hoping may help distract from those air vents. Thoughts ?
Thanks again .

8 years agoI think it is a great canvas and you have solid neutral place to start. If you want to change the lamp shades add some throw pillows, a console, a dramatic mirror it would be a great inexpensive fix. Get some sparkle
Good luck Hilary

8 years agoHere is a pretty console table to put on end wall between sofas. I would put sophisticated piece of art over it and some sculptural vases on it. Maybe an ottoman instead of coffee table.

8 years agoHi everyone, sorry for the lapse in time. My husband loved the bookcase idea to display art and also to distract the eye from the air vents . Im currently waiting for quotes to see how much it would be.
I'm getting quotes using this pic as a model. Please let me know your thoughts.

8 years agoI was thinking I'd paint the back of the bookcase an almost black espresso color.reason being it would be very close to black but match the floor which has some brown tones and I could paint the air vents so they would be less apparent. I'd also have to move the curtain rod down abit. I was invisioning having the rod extend just a bit on each side of window ( which would also cover switches ) and add a darker curtain.

8 years agorhe inspiration to paint book case dark color came from this picture but I prefer the uncluttered look of the bookcase above .
Black curtain
