How would you style this room?
We’ve just bought a new house and I’m stuck for ideas on what to do with our living room.
We quite like the idea of choosing warm calming earthy tones and also like the pint colour Aegean teal on one of the walls.
Does any one have any suggestions on colour palette for the room inc. curtains (will go right across the window wall from floor to ceiling) and cushions?
I would like to put the tv on the wall and then get a floor lamp and cocktail/arm chair next to the tv unit.
Thank you!

Comments (16)You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet.....See MoreWould you do it any different?
Comments (9)Hello Roundwood Design, Very nice!!..... there are just a few things I'd do differently.. Have a free standing range oven.. If we could... Wolf... Smeg double 9 burner duel fuel in chrome... Simply because I like gas for the hob and electric oven.. I really like very robust, industrial appliances.. Dualit toaster and Architect kettle, Kitchenaid in chrome.. No need to put these in corners! I'd choose a different sink... I do like ceramic butler style, concrete or a marble or other stone.. Slightly different tap.. Handles... I personally don't really like them...unless they are really really plain lengths of brass or those lovely brass cup handles.. Then I would paint the bottom cabinets a nice charcoal or a navy.. Or the walls a dark colour..If there was more height to contrast the light cupboards at head height.. I'd have a big larder cupboard or two if the space allowed... instead of corner units.. For food and for the table linen and crockery etc.. You could have boxed in the extractor and painted it the same colour as the cupboards- as there is a lack of chrome here.. that could have worked with the overall aesthetic of the room... The little 3 spot light.. Don't think that is sophisticated enough.. Have a look at Old School Electric.. Do love the shape of the doors and design and also the subway tiles choice and the use of matt paint! The floor is very nice too and the kitchen is well made.. : ))...See MoreHow close to the stove can you put the front of your couch?

2 years agoThank you Sonia. Some lovely inspiration there.
I’ve ordered some samples for the curtains. I’m quite drawn to the top three colours.
I think all could work with the colour. what are your thoughts?

2 years agoJust looking at the view of the TV wall it's quite choppy with the angles and the protruding bit in the ceiling. Although a bit costly, it might be worth getting a carpenter to build in something there so it feel a bit more purposeful.
When you say earthy tones, do you mean warm as in the image below. Earthy tones contain yellow and/or red, your carpet is cool and blue/grey so you would have to work with that.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoIf you want it quite visually calming then I would perhaps consider focusing on materials that are natural and keeping the colour palette 'quiet'. I would be tempted to paint the wall behind the TV a very deep earthy colour such as olive and hang a large oversized wicker pendant that could look beautiful againt the wall colour to distract from the TV. A TV on white wall creates such a strong contrast that all of the effort into putting subtle texture in the room would get lost. Personally I would buy a really beautiful sideboard and put it against a deep wall and style it. I would keep the other walls a soft neutral (warm but not too yellow) and hang a slubby linen blind on the slim window and natural curtains on the other large one.
Tikamoon and Zara both sell lovely earthy products and their images are really beautifully styled. If you look on the Tikamoon images they often have earthy finishes, off white walls and maybe just one slab of deep colour. Ochres, cognacs, olives etc, not saturated colours. Hope this helps.
