Thanks everyone! The sofa is camel/gold, it photographs lighter than it actually is. I think the best thing to do might be to go with it and see if I can love it as is. If not I can have the cover made.

Advice on living room

Hello aoifej, Firstly that is a good sized room... The fireplace is very interesting indeed! It is the main focus and so perhaps you want to consider painting it a darker shade still. The base a very dark shade of charcoal so it is separate and looks like a base stand....... Put a fabulous mirror over it... Something simple in design and squared or full circle like a convex. The red and wood box shelving, don't discard but consider painting it and then you could, if you have enough create a screen/divider for floor area arranged with gaps so it's not solid. Or mount in an interesting configuration on the walls for storage, and painted to match the walls... This then gives you something textured on the walls... that is somewhat bolder and would sit well with the fireplace which is really fantastic.. The sofa is the wrong period style for this room really as it's not old enough or rustic..for french style.. Also the french doors are very modern, so the room takes on a far more modern feel... So you will find it hard to make it sit right such as it is..... It would be best to place it to face the fireplace and leave the french doors free.... You want to be able to have them open so you can easily walk outside... So try situating it in the bay window but not too far in... You may like to have a console table behind the sofa in the window with a table lamp... To take the ornate feel of the sofa away and to make it blend more... Try a sheet over the entire sofa... Then add a throw over the back and both arms... Something you could layer perhaps to disguise it's design more... I think then it will sit better in the room... You then at least can use the sofa, whilst you work out what to do as a sheet will protect it, should you wish to sell it... but I think if you keep it, as it is you will struggle, so re-upholster would be my suggestion.. So have it upholstered in a dark plain fabric and a colour to blend with the wooden frame, charcoal or something dark like mole, earthy tones........ This too then makes it really solid rather than ornate... It will help to blend it into the room and allow you to coordinate furniture to go with it.. Old and new can sit well together if you know how and what to do to make it work..... So some ideas for you to consider if you modify the sofa accordingly.... With a bit of artistic licence as I have used the fireplace as a focus twice and brought the garden in.. simply to cover your sofa, so I could add a similar one in a darker colour to show you what I mean.. I have added a whole array of styles to illustrate how you can integrate many styles to create something interesting.. In reality you will have far more space... as you won't be looking at duplicates! It's done very quickly merely to offer you some ideas as to how to work with what you have, rather than start again! Good design is about working with rather than against what someone has... ... NB: The hare pictured is merely for styling purposes as I like to use it.... BUT I would always recommend natural expiration or accidental expiration for taxidermy as opposed to acquiring by any other less humane means! . : ))

Furniture Placement

I need help choosing what furniture size & placement for my living room. The room measurements are 5.6m x 4.2m. I want to get the 4 seater and accent chair but feel it needs more but unsure how to arrange it. The room will also have a fireplace and large tv/media unit similar to picture. I have chosen the mink/blue swatch for the sofa & accent chair.

Navy/dark blue furniture paint
Q
Comments (0)
Hello, I'm currently looking at decorating my new house. I would like a consistent dark blue/navy colour throughout. I've found a Grasbo Vimle couch from Ikea and a dark blue/navy Billy bookcase (links below) which I'd like to have in the sitting room. I'm hoping to get white furniture for the rest of the house (dining table and chairs, bedside lockers, chest of drawers, etc.) and paint it to match. I'm wondering if anybody has any advice on a furniture paint colour which would match best? Most of what I've found are mid or light blue rather than dark blue/navy to date. Thanks in advance!
