Help needed with colour in living/dining room

4 years ago

I have quite a long living/dining room with French doors at one end and fireplace at the other end.
We change the room around in summer and winter so the sofas are by the fire in winter and then looking out yo the garden in summer.
The walls are mainly white and have been for years.
I'd like to add some colour or pattern but dont know where to start!

I was going to ask you to share photos but noticed you’ve started new thread 👍

Can you maybe delete this one? Keeps things clearer. 😊

Oh wow! Thanks everyone... So so much... I would never have seen some of the things that you have pinpointed. I have already got the cabinet and under cabinet lighting, it was turned off when I took the earlier shots. I totally get the suggestion to remove the cabinets etc near the window but would prefer not too just yet... I am back pocketing that for next year! I will add some items on top of the cabinets, and the artwork that you suggested too in the meantime. The window seat I had in mind was for the living room area, instead of the two seater. Would that look better than the two piece, with colourful cushions, and if so should I add a built I cabinet for the tv (right beside it) in the same painted wood colour as the window seat? Also should I put curtains either side of the window seat if I opt to go with that, or stick just with colourful roman blinds? I will look into fixtures for lights and have already started the fabric hunt for curtains/roman blinds/ cushions etc. Also, what colour would you recommend to accessorise the room with?

With all of them your room would look warmer and great looking!

Dining/Living Room Help Needed

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

Outside looking into window with black wall from the street, which also makes it less ideal for the living room area. Thanks everyone!! :)
