Open plan living - feels cold!
Hi there
looking to change the living end of my Open plan living/kitchen/dining room. I’ve marked the walls id like to redecorate In the pic below.
the whole room is painted in Wimborne white and the kitchen has dark grey units with a white marble top. I feel like this section of the room feels a little cold and I would like to make it more cosy. Not sure whether to use a textured wallpaper in the same neutral colour as existing or whether to go for a pattern or contrasting colour?
would love any advice! thank you!

Comments (11)I agree with everything said so far. Would suggest you get built in book shelvers on both sides of fireplace, lift tv into a slot it fits perfectly into (make sure you have power on both sides). Then it will disappear more rather than fight with fireplace as focal point. I am always disappointed with mirrors over fireplaces, they become dark, are to high to reflect much. Plus then you have three rectangles fighting for center stage. I'd say very colorful artwork instead. Wonder if you can reorient tv where the big chairs are so both tv and fireplace are addressed? Color, maybe you should decide on furniture first?...See MoreOpen plan wood effect tile
Comments (9)Have you considered luxury vinyl planks? Waterproof, damp mop, easy to replace, and softer on your feet. I have tile in half of my house and wish I could replace it. It's hard on your feet, especially when you're standing for long periods of time in the kitchen. If it cracks, it's a pain to replace. You have to keep plenty of extra on hand for replacement because cracks are inevitable, either from something dropping on them or from settling. The flooring person I spoke with told me they're selling vinyl in even high end installations. He said they just installed 2300 square feet in a million dollar penthouse condo.

Comments (80)A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years....See Moreopen plan space feels dull, dark and squashed

4 years agoHi,
just to give you a visual: lowered the TV, gave you a lamp and a larger rug that isn't beige, and added some art. You could add orange or charcoal or a darker taupe. Doesn't have to be navy, but that's what I found when I did a quick search. And blue does go well with taupes/beige. Hope it helps.
