Country Living Room Inspiration
I have just bought a 50's Dorma Bungalow and we are giving it an overall. White walls and new navy sofa (everything else needs to go). Any suggestions on a colour scheme, furniture style and where to get some bargains ( fed up with John Lewis). Any photos with a Navy Sofa available anywhere?

What is not working in this living room
Comments (12)Hi there, If you are looking to create an opulent feel then we recommend looking at Traditional Interiors and taking points from these and applying these to your contemporary living space. Chandeliers always work well to create the feeling of grandeur and in a room of this size you appear to have space for a small chandelier in the centre of the room. https://www.pavilionbroadway.co.uk/designer-lighting/ceiling-lights/hanging-lights/impero-solid-brass-gold-plated-chandelier-16708.html I would also look at the following points to create the feel of opulence: 1. wall colour - either paint the walls in a Rich Red tone of incorporate a Damask or Faux Silk Wallpaper by Zoffany https://www.pavilionbroadway.co.uk/designer-wallpaper/zoffany-wallpaper-silk-plain.html 2. Flooring - the tiles will not give you that "cozy feel" as these would be more ideal for a kitchen area. Therefore it would be better to replace these with Wooden floorboard and then a Rug. We provide some beautiful hand made persian rugs and supply for any room dimension and colour:https://www.pavilionbroadway.co.uk/persian-new-traditional-mahal-rug-13769.html 3. Lighting : Incorporate a Chandelier to create the opulent look & feel 4. Sofas - Leather sofas can be very comfortable but they are best in a snug room as they take away from the elegant formal look of a living room. Duresta are a UK brand which create their sofas inspired by pieces found in National Trust Properties, therefore we would recommend looking at 2 new sofas and an upholstered coffee table for the centre of the room. https://www.pavilionbroadway.co.uk/luxury-furniture/shopby/brand-duresta.html Attached is a quick sketch of what we could do. We guide our clients to purchase the right things at great value to achieve the look you that you want. We use our experience and professional advice to guide you and create your dream living space.

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 MoreIdeas for Living Room
Comments (1)You said you bought a new cream Queen Anne chair , so is that in addition to the striped one as well? IF yes, then you may be tied into a purple/brown/gold theme. The black furniture will work in the room. IF you are replacing the striped chair with the off white Queen Anne , then you could do purple/ gray/ black colors. Here are some inspiration ( color wise) photos: Purple with brown Purple with gray/black. I think an area rug will tie all your colors together , so find a large one that works in the color scheme you choose....See Moreliving room inspiration
Comments (0)Hi there, I recently moved into a new house and am searching for inspiration for how to decorate my new living room. It has a cast iron tiled fire place from 1880 which will stay. It has high ceilings with picture rail detail. It is south facing and sunny but we plan to mainly use the room in the evenings as a grown up retreat from the chaos of family life. It also needs to accommodate the tv and storage for lots of books! We will probably keep the carpet which is light colored and neutral but everything else can be new, paint curtains, sofa, furniture. It’s a blank canvas apart from the fireplace. I would like a fairly contemporary style rather than traditional but I am not sure how that will work with the old fireplace. Would love to hear some ideas! Thank you!...See More

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoHello Sarah, country living inspiration is really picking up these days as it just oozes cosy and comfort. Our SS16 collection was based around the country/coastal living look if you wanted to have a look here: https://www.luxdeco.com/collections/coastal-elegance
But given you're looking for colours to compliment your blue sofa, we also have an article of 12 colour schemes for the living room with 5 of the rooms featuring a blue sofa. we reckon the 1st, 9th and last look would suit your space well given you already have light walls and carpeting, depending on how much colour you want in your room. Looking forward to seeing the final look! LD

7 years agoHi Sarah. It's quite hard to find country style rooms with a navy sofa (but it will work). This is about the closest I could get. Navy and white are lovely but can be quite cold together. I wouldn't be afraid to mix a couple of colours (choose some warm ones so shades of pink, yellow, orange and warm green) and patterns. I would also focus on texture so some wooden furniture, textured throws, different fabrics, materials etc for accessories, also add table lamps and good faux flowers. Laura ashley may be an obvious start for furniture, they seem to permanently have a sale on. Oka and india Jane have a fair bit of oriental influenced pieces but are quintessentially English style so you could look there but they're not a bargain! Oka's faux flowers are good and they also have some apricot cushions you may like. I'd also try swoon editions, they may have some suitable things. Why not set up an ideabook of what you like and people can help with more specific choices
