Ideas to bring light into loungen

3 years ago

I have a west facing lounge with a bow window and small porch. It’s in a private position no one goes by except deliverers and it’s facing onto shrubs and trees. Would like to bring more light into the room any ideas

Once again, carolins has taken the words right out of my mouth. I sometimes feel like a crusader for entertainment centers and lowering art! You have a dynamic room with so much potential. Your wall could look amazing with the armoire carolins has pictured above. Of course, lower your sconces so that they're a about 4" below the top of the armoire and about 7" from the sides. Your fireplace should be your focal point with your wall being strong but not competing. Rooms get personality from smaller accents but you have too many little things that take away from the great colored pillows and the picture. Be careful not to hang things in straight lines--top of pictures should never line up with tops of doors or curtain rods. I wish we could see your fireplace in another photo. Chairs should form conversation groups with the couch like Carolyn has outlined. I like your chandelier but you might think about lowering it or moving it above a dining table--it looks rather lost way up there.

I agree deepen the color, don't change it and yes art art art! maybe lessen the presence of the brick with the earlier suggestion of the metal cogs its and use traditional artwork pics/nature/paintings on the painted wall. I also like the idea to paint the part of the wall that juts out in a darker shade of the same color. Now you have lots to consider and lots to dismiss as well. Good luck and have fun

I really like the clean lines of your kitchen , it's beautiful and I would not add to much colour but you could use some accessories with green and white that would compliment this minimalistic kitchen. For example adding a bright green plant/s or an accessory the same colour as the clock on your top wall can put everything in a nice perspective!

I think it looks very nice! It is lovely fireplace and room. These are just thoughts because I actually really like what you have done so far. Just my opinion. ... 1) Would you think about hanging the mirror above the fireplace, about 6 inches and horizontally? You could dress the mantel then with a few items to the side (eg. tall vase, etc) 2) You could add some funky cushions to your sofa with some strong tones, picking up on the browns and greys (don't match but just use lighter or darker tones or brown or grey) or even add another colour. I just see you have red light pendant, maybe you could mix and match. 3) Will you be adding rug? Again you could bring out some colours using a rug. 4) Something about the shelving looks like it needs adjusting. Are the shelves adjustable? In which case can you adjust so they are not all even size shelving? Try adjusting the items - something looks out of balance. Maybe try books on their sides (some but not all) and moving items into groups of similar colour/ theme. Good luck - Im sure you will get lots of ideas from the community..
