Help me finish this room
My niece was so impressed with the help that the Houzzers gave me for my house, she asked me to post about a room she needs help with. This was meant to be the formal living room but they have no need for it so she is going to use it as a space for her 14 & 12 year old sons to entertain their friends. I have already told her the rug placement is wrong so they’re going to fix that. She doesn’t want window treatments because it would block their beautiful view. There will be a shuffeboard table next to the windows after Christmas so the sofa needs to stay in that position. She needs art, lamps and finishing touches. Thank you in advance for your help

Comments (36)I would also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool....See Moreneed help with new wet room tiles
Comments (12)http://houzz.com/photos/3642990 This link kind of demonstrates the use of mosaics and the mirror idea I thought may be cool. Obviously they are vertical but I think it would work either way. Any pics of your tiles? I have seen your other post and know your suite is 'traditional' but another thing to consider I guess is the cost of the mosaics. £££ using lots may mean a big dent in your budget....See MoreHelp me choose a bed for guest room
Comments (30)Melissa, when I said footboard, I meant this. It has a portion of the bed that extends beyond the mattress edge. You posted a bed that had something at the foot section of the bed. By platform, I mean a bed that has a hard area and only a mattress on it. Like this. It does not extend beyond the edge of the mattress, but does not have a box spring. It is also lower to the ground. The picture you posted was a high profile bed and box spring. It was not on a typical bed frame. A standard bed frame, used with box spring and mattress looks like this. Virtually invisible and does not extend out beyond the mattress/box spring set. That being said, I'd recommend you get a headboard that is not too big for your space. Neither in height or depth (distance from the wall). I would also not get a mattress frame that extends beyond the size of the mattress. Sorry to have not been clear before....See MoreFinishing our living room

6 years agoremove the 2 chairs from.behind sofa, move the sofa back to better place the rug, maybe get a more colorful fun rug maybe with some soft texture, loose the tree, add puffer seats on each side of fire place, change direction of lightning above fireplace. you are not really displaying art there and the glare may be too much for TV/ gaming. Definitely go with the rad artwork with guitars, and other fun painting that are age appropriate. Add fun teenager style pillows to sofas loose the ones you have now, find some fuzzy throw blankets to drape over sofa. Find a Marshalls, Burlington, World Market or TJ Maxx for fun lighting. I agree, don't cover those great windows!

6 years agoSo we’ve made a little progress on this room. She decided she wanted shelves next to the fireplace. We found a painting that her boys loved and I finally talked her into a bigger rug. (Yay me!) made a trip to Crate & Barrel today and found a few things for the shelves and the pouf. What else do we need on the shelves? I know we need some greenery and are going to look for that tomorrow
