Help with living/dining?

5 years ago
I am a first time poster, so apologies if I am not formatting this correctly!
I am moving into a 777 sq ft apartment next month. (pictures are from the model) I want to have a farmhouse touch to my the apartment, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to make everything flow and how to go about everything. (Furniture/decor wise)
I currently have:
-An ash gray sofa and loveseat
-tv stand
-light grey Windsor dining chairs
I need advice on how to tie this together, and advice on a dining and coffee table? I’m scared that what I have doesn’t match!

Comments (2)Yellows/creams/ whites/ and grays are very fresh right now. The gray can range from light silver to charcoal, but it won't take away from bright and airy feel, because it really makes the yellows and creams stand out....See MoreNeed help for kitchen/living/dining area

Comments (13)I would use plants to brighten the space. The hardscapes are all good, they just look a bit naked and grim. It can be hard to make a space pretty but usable for the kids too, but its not impossible. You have a lovely sitting area to enjoy. Plant some lovely feature bushes in that gravel area. You don't need to completely hide the clothesline, but having something pretty and showy in front will create a boundary and the eye will be drawn to the plants instead of the washing. If you can't plant into the soil there, some large size pots will work. Maybe some medium sized (1-2metre) ornamental trees in pots, like citrus, a weeping ornamental cherry, or bay trees, moptop robinias are nice too. They will be compact. You could cluster some pots of herbs underneath or plant them and let them ramble a little. Herbs like thyme and rosemary and lavender will suit the gravel area and the heat and be hardy with kids playing around, the odd bike falling on them or crushing underfoot would be quite okay. bulbs in pots or planted around the edges of the lawn are great value low maintenance and hardy colour. You can get great seasonal variation in your view then. Online bulb stores like tesselar and garden express sell bulk landscaping bulbs at very reasonable prices. You can get hundreds of bulbs for $30-50. Bulbs are great hardy plants that won't be killed by the odd soccer ball either. The flowers may get knocked over or the leaves, but the bulb is safe under the soil. Cheap and cheerfuls like nasturtiums are good value colour that will self seed every season. Also, plant some very bright flowering shrubs behind the soccer net and against the far wall. Maybe some hibiscus? You need something to catch and entice the eye, plant some large flowering shrubs with larger or bright flowers or foliage you will be able to appreciate from a distance....See MoreDining/Living Room Help Needed
Comments (0)Hi all, I bought my first home (Yay!) and I was wondering how you would design the following living/dining room. I have attached the measures as the pictures are from the original add and might look more spacious than it really is. The living room kinda has to happen where the fireplace is, which is also where you enter the room from the hall, but I am struggling to fit a couch in there that you don’t fall over. I’m thinking of moving the dining area to the black wall now and the couch to the other end of the room which is also the west and garden facing side. But then I’d lose the lovely fire place. So that’s my Dilemma thaha :) Let me know what you think. Any help is greatly appreciated :D...See Moreeverdebz

5 years agoI hope I am replying to you correctly since I am a newbie on here, Everdebz!! I love your ideas, and my “splash of color” is actually blue :)
What I am worried about most is my dining table set, tv stand, and coffee table coming together? I have not purchased the dining table or coffee table.
I was thinking for dining, a 48” round wood table top stained like this with the gray Windsor chairs pictured above. But I am unsure if it goes nicely together or with the rest of my open area! :(

5 years agoThis is a better picture I found from the reviews of the tv stand. Many people described it as an antique white.
