Furnishing my living room
Hey! I just moved into a loft a few months ago, and I am in the process of searching for a coffee table (in front of the sofa), end table (next to the sofa) or two, two chairs (along the left wall), and a table or floor lamp. Here is the space I'm dealing with:
Living room/kitchen:
Console stand on the other side of the sofa:
Does anyone have any recommendations that fit the style of my space?
Cheers,
Ryan

Comments (3)There is a reason why you don't use them....you probably don't really like them. The style of the chair does not fit with a sunroom look. Put them up for sale and buy "lighter" furniture like a nice rattan set or maybe just a couple of long chaise to create a reading nook or a nice place to have coffee......See Moreneed help for my living room /dining room want fancy doors with glass.

Comments (0)I need some advice on how to dress both these windows in my living room. I have 5 windows in total including a patio door to the left.

This is an open plan kitchen, living and dining area and I plan to have a Roman blind on my kitchen window. Any ideas welcome...See MoreHelp! how should I arrange my living room furniture?
Comments (0)I'd love some advice on how to arrange my living room furniture, starting with a completely blank canvas. The room will be used as a child-free retreat, mainly in the evenings for reading, watching movies and some entertaining. The window faces south east so it is bright during the day and looks over the front garden. We will probably get built ins around the fireplace to store books. I am thinking about getting a corner sofa oriented towards the tv on the right side of the fireplace but I am worried then that the wall opposite the window will just be blank. I'd like to put a chair there too but when you are entering the room I think it will appear to stick out a lot. What could I put on that wall? Could I orient the room the opposite way by putting the tv on the left of the fireplace or would that feel strange entering the room between couches? Would it be better if the door opened the opposite way? What size should the sofa be, given the room is 4.1x4.2m? I have attached a diagram of the room layout and what I am thinking currently. Any suggestions welcome! Thank you!...See More

6 years agoLove the space and great start!! I agree.. bring your sofa forward a little. Feel like your style is kind of southwest/industrial/rustic. Here are some examples of choices I think would go nice with your current furniture.
[Four Hands Alec Coffee Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/dayle-rustic-lodge-chunky-square-wood-iron-coffee-table-prvw-vr~12448448)
[Hancock & Moore Otto Cocktail Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/hancock-and-moore-otto-cocktail-table-prvw-vr~70856746)I think bringing in some natural elements or something funky for your accents would look great in the space too.
[Arteriors Nantucket Side Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/arteriors-nantucket-side-table-prvw-vr~79848141)
[Palecek Petrified Wood Stone Cast Stump[(https://www.houzz.com/products/palecek-petrified-wood-stone-cast-stump-prvw-vr~41808847)
[Arteriors Santiago Side Table[(https://www.houzz.com/products/santiago-end-and-side-tables-burnt-brass-prvw-vr~79849126)Would get upholstered chairs to have the softer looking texture in the space and maybe something with a little height so your not looking at everything at the same level. I also agree, bringing in that pop of color of blue would liven up the place and breaks up the brown.

Good luck with your search!

6 years agoDon't get matching leather chair. You have lots of colors in the area rug. Pick a chair in a color that is already in the rug. Blue is good. Lots of industrial lofts have aged wood coffee tables. Edison bulbs light fixtures fit lofts well. Hope this helps.

6 years agoYour place looks amazing!
I want to move your sofa and rug to the left about 2-3 feet and maybe even rotate your rug the other direction. I'm thinking classic Danish modern lounge chairs, like Carl Hanson's Hans Wegner's CH25 Chairs or Cuba Lounge chairs. For floor lamps, something classic from Bestlite or maybe a Grasshoppa lamp. If you want a clear coffee table, the peekaboo acrylic tall coffee table from CB2 is great. I also think your space is plenty industrial without going overboard on that theme in the furnishings, and you get so much natural light that your existing furniture is not making it look too dark at all.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agocool space! I love these velvet club chairs w/your leather sofa and industrial vibe
you could do something in darker blue if these are too bright for you. I love the texture and the color though.
maybe a live edge coffee table

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHey all! Adding to the conversation... I'm also looking to do something with my side wall in my living room. Keeping to the industrial style with a hint of Asian theme (cultures of Japan, India, Thailand, and Turkey are important to me), I have a few options that I've been mulling over that I'd like to get your guys' thoughts on:
a. Leave the wall as is and hang up some framed photos/artwork.
b. Paint the wall a different color. This is technically my "accent" wall right now since the rest of my walls are off-white, but I've considered doing something a little more bold like a navy blue.
c. Put up some interesting wallpaper. I'm a fan of this design and I've toyed with the idea of putting up wallpaper of a world map if the dimensions work out - something like this or this. The wall is textured, so I'm not sure how viable this option is.
d. Paint a mural!
Looking forward to reading your feedback! I'll be posting pics after I finish this space. Hopefully soon.
P.S. Bear with me on some of the blemishes. I am working on touching up the baseboard and fixing some patches in the wall where the previous owner mounted a TV. WIP- PRO

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agothe great thing about paint is it's easily changed . what a great wall for some vertical and hanging plants.
have you thought about doing an ombre effect w/peacock or marine blue tones? would look beautiful w/the wood flooring.
something like this, but in the colors of the 2nd photo
stick some air plants up there too!

6 years agoI liked the idea of the murals...until I started putting furniture in your room...then it was distracting. What about an antique Asian cabinet with a framed Chinoiserie panel... the look of wallpaper without the commitment.

6 years agoWow, nice room. We think the Noguchi coffee table would look great here. It brings a unique mix of form and function. The triangle coffee table top is made of sturdy tempered glass, which is toughened through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling during manufacturing.
