Living room dilemma
Hello i am desperately looking for ideas with my new living room. It's driving me a bit crazy as l'm so unsure. I am purchasing a 1960s/ 1970s house however don't want to decorate or design the interior in mid century modern style as I was brought up with that. Im looking to try and achieve a relaxing living room look.
The flooring is dark wood Karndean and the room has double aspect windows facing east and west. Im thinking of re-using my light stone/cream 2 seater chesterfield type sofa but would like the room to have a welcoming warm feel. Currently the chimney breast is painted blue which I'd like to change as my previous living room was very blue! However I do have light denim faded blue linen curtains which may work . Maybe a tan sofa but I don't think that would be enough contrast .Below is photo of the room with blue chimney breast. The other photos are ideas I’m considering Any advice would be so welcome. Thank you .

Added tiling in the hearth behind the stove. Rug, bigger coffee table, linen plain curtains with contrasting pole, plants, gloor snd table lighting, natural materials accessories: ceramic, metal, wood.

Comments (0)We recently put on an extension to our kitchen and although I'm not so much having trouble picking colours for the walls there, I do however find it difficult to match up the dining and living all of which are open plan .. the sofas in the living area are removable covers, one set taupe and the other set white, no problem there but my curtins were expensive and I'm reluctant to change them at the moment so really want something to tie everything together ..they are autumnal in colour ...I'd appreciate some advice on paint colours for the walls they dont have to be the same but would have to tone well together ..Thank you...See MoreKitchen/Living room colour dilemma
Comments (0)I've a large open plan pitch roof kitchen that leads into a standard size living room. I've painted my living room F&B Pigeon and railings on the skirting board to match the railings on the island in the kitchen. I had planned to paint the kitchen pigeon but I'm now doubting my decision. Any suggestions on alternative colours to complement the pigeon or should I just go bold?...See MoreFamily Room Wall Dilemma
Comments (0)The lower walls are knotty pine planks (5-1/2" x 3/8" x various lengths) installed years ago. They were whitewashed a few times and now fairly white. Ceiling was recently raised (vaulted ceiling with 2 exposed trusses). My delimma is that I cannot find the same thickness or width of pine planking and it doesn't look like I will be able to. I wanted to continue this diagonal pattern all the way up. Now unsure what to do. Whatever I do, I want to make sure that one's eyes will continue to be drawn upward since I have lived with a 7 ft ceiling for way too long! I'm not really wanting to paint the drywall upper area white, but maybe. I generally like a contemporary look, but the exposed trusses just spoke to me when we opened the ceiling up. Not sure how to finish those either. Any ideas, no matter how far out they sound would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I am just stuck and can't finish this room....See MoreHeather Wright
