I've bought new furniture and decorated room. I know need to buy new curtains and cushions and some wall art etc. I'm drawing a blank. I don't just want neutral colours. I've googled accent colours etc and am lost 😣😣. The rug I don't ideally want to replace as it was expensive. I like brown grey black etc but don't want the room to look to monochrome... did I mention I'm clueless at this stuff
here's the stuff labelled up. I mentioned I was clueless. here's some pics of the living room too. not all furniture is in place and tv cupboard will be replaced after I build the new one. a lot of the orange stuff I've had for ages and want it to look different. my mum did the canvas art but I'd put that in another room
Okay, so... the rug, as expensive as it was, doesn't really work in this room. It is too small. Maybe you have another space in your home for it? Would the smaller sofa fit on the other side of the room?
As for colours; how about black, brown and blue? And a little bit of light beige?
I like what Carolina has done and agree re the rug size. I might be tempted to keep 1/2 of the orange cushions (but get plumper pads) or a couple of new ones to reference the orange in the curtains or art obviously
Ooo.. I like the idea of keeping a couple of the orange items. Maybe your mother could make another canvas piece so there will be three above the sofa? Or if not, I'd hang these two closer together, perhaps 15 cm apart? Than it'll seem more like one big piece instead of two very separate ones.
I also think that two or three cushions per sofa will probably be enough
hi Carolina I'm loving the blue! I dont mind removing the orange all together. the rug you've suggested is painfully (for me) virtually identical to the one I replaced - it was natural jute 😁. I could move the sofas theres plenty of room
haha. it was a bit small as it was from my last house. my last living room was designed for me. it's a different room it's just basically the same type with bay window. you can see that most of what I have just came from my old house
Oh... now I don't feel so bad anymore :-D That was way too small too. Generally the thought is that all front feet of the sofa(s) and chair(s) should be on the rug. It's the glue that holds the room together. If you do like the idea of a jute rug again, Ikea have good sized ones for little money. Or look at LaRedoute and Made.com. I think the one that I've put in your room was from Made. Think they have some funky rugs with blue in it too, if I remember correctly.
I like the idea of a medium coloured rug (like the brown), because your sofas are so dark. You need something that makes the transition to the lighter colours smoother. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it well.
