Janey Butler InteriorsJaney Butler Interiors
A beautiful 16th Century Cottage in a Cotswold Conservation Village. The cottage was very dated and needed total renovatation. The Living room was was in fact two rooms which were knocked into one, creating a lovely large living room area for our client. Keeping the existing large open fire place at one end of the inital one room and turning the old smaller fireplace which was discovered when renovation works began in the other initial room as a feature fireplace with kiln dried logs. Beautiful calming colour schemes were implemented. New hardwood windows were painted in a gorgeous colour and the Bisque radiators sprayed in a like for like colour. New Electrics & Plumbing throughout the whole cottage as it was very old and dated. A modern Oak & Glass Staircase replaced the very dated aliminium spiral staircase. A total Renovation / Conversion of this pretty 16th Century Cottage, creating a wonderful light, open plan feel in what was once a very dark, dated cottage in the Cotswolds.

¿Te gustaría tener este salón? Este concretamente lo hemos diseñado para nuestro cliente, que reside en un adosado en San Antonio de Benagéber. Cuando llegamos a su casa la primera vez, fuimos conscientes del potencial que tenía el espacio y lo mal aprovechado que estaba, aparte de responder a una decoración bastante «anárquica», que te transmitía un poquito de desasosiego… Requerimientos: Aprovechamiento del espacio, cocina semi abierta, barra en cocina y distintas zonas para disfrutarlas en distintos momentos; todo ello con una estética actual y contemporánea que aporte orden y calidez sin perder la esencia de quien lo va a disfrutar. Salvando los condicionantes intrínsecos de la planta (escalera central, cambio de alturas de techo y varias ventanas), la propuesta fue clara, una zona de relax con una zona de lectura, estantería hasta el techo y un espejo circular que aporta amplitud y ofrece una zona de recibidor y una chimenea de bioetanol dividiendo los espacios. Otra zona de comedor ubicada en el centro de la sala y una zona de estar junto a la piscina y la cocina. La estética contemporánea y racional, se alinea con los gustos de una pareja joven y dinámica que quiere sacar el mayor provecho de su vivienda para disfrutarla solos y en compañía. Hemos separado parcialmente la cocina del salón, dejando una cómoda apertura con una barra, ideal para desayunar o simplemente charlar, haciendo un nexo entre salón y cocina. Todo ello queda integrado por un panelado ranurado gris grafito, que se compensa estéticamente con el roble del resto del mobiliario, donde se ubica la televisión. A su vez, para salvar los pilares de la trasera del sofá, diseñamos un mueble que además de incluir una librería baja lateral (de idéntico diseño en la zona de lectura), integramos ambos elementos arquitectónicos, obteniendo una repisa de apoyo donde disponemos de iluminación secundaria. En definitiva, un espacio diseñado para disfrutar.

Living Room with a Reading Nook and a Two-sided Fireplace Ideas and Designs

Looking for living room ideas? Whether your living room is lacklustre, your lounge is limited in space, your sitting room is suffering from outdated decor or your front room is full of clutter, there are living room ideas and designs that will inspire you to breathe life into your living space. Discover small living room ideas to help maximise tiny spaces or layout ideas that will work with awkward shaped living rooms. Perhaps you’re struggling to decide on living room colours? Read on for help with colours, layout and design ideas, or find inspiration from the millions of living room photos on Houzz.

Living room wallpaper ideas

A good place to start when it comes to redesigning your living room is with the walls. While paint may seem the simplest choice, and easy to change, don’t discredit the design opportunities of wallpaper in living rooms. There are tons of great living room wallpaper ideas, from modern geometric patterns to traditional florals, and loads of ways to use them – you don’t have to cover the whole room or go for the ubiquitous feature wall. You could wallpaper only above the dado rail (if you have one), either side of a chimney breast, or behind a shelving unit to give your displayed items a stylish backdrop. Discover more living room wallpaper ideas or if paint is more your style, there’s plenty of living room designs to discover when it comes to paint ideas; just browse through the huge selection of living photos and search for the specific paint you’re after if you really want to narrow it down.

Small living room ideas

When it comes to our living room design, we want it to feel as welcoming and personality-filled as possible, but that can be a struggle when we’re working with a small space. But not to fear, there are small living room ideas to help you make most out of what you’re working with. A couple of small living room ideas can include: working with the height you have – installing floor-to-ceiling bookshelves or drawing the eye to the top of the walls with wallpaper; choosing space-saving or storage-incorporating (or both!) furniture, such as corner sofas with storage space under the chaise longue section; and keeping things symmetrical – a central fireplace with seating opposite, or seats facing each other, can give the illusion of a larger, more grand room. When it comes to the best decor for small living rooms, you can either choose to keep things light and airy to open up the space, or embrace the cosiness of the smaller area you have by going for warm colours and filling the room with your favourite accessories.

Living room layouts and choosing the right living room furniture

When it comes to the layout of your living room, it will depend on what pieces of furniture you have – but how do you choose what living room furniture to add, whether you’re refreshing your living room design or starting from scratch? The best place to start is with the seating – one corner sofa will usually seat three to four people, and if that’s all you think you’ll need, then you can leave it at that. Placing your sofa along the longest wall helps to make the most of the space, but think about where you want the focus of the room to be, too. If you need more seating, look at armchairs that offer comfort but don’t take up too much space – cramming a room with too many large armchairs is something to avoid. But armchairs and sofas don’t have to be your only options – go for bean bags and floor cushions for an eclectic feel, pouffes and ottomans if you’re more traditional, and smart design chairs for contemporary living room ideas. Coffee tables are always handy, but you can always add a couple of side tables if you don’t want to clutter the central space in front of seating with anything. If you centre your living room design around a fireplace or TV, then you might want storage and shelving to feature around the focus of your room. There are plenty of style options when it comes to TV units, and you can even go for bespoke living room storage units to make the most of the space if you want a sleek, built-in look. Keep reading below for more living room storage ideas. Discover a huge range of living room furniture, as well as living room accessories, to help you finish your room design.

Living room design ideas

Struggling with what living room colours to choose, or what style to go with? While a grey living room design is popular at the moment, you might not want to go with the ubiquitous colour. Although, if neutral and contemporary are the living room ideas you’re after, a grey sofa or grey walls will give you a good base to work on. If you want to stay neutral, beige is not your only other option, either. Light yellows, taupes and soft greys will work. Why not try adding simple but plush cushions to your sofa and a rug in these colours to achieve a modern-traditional look? For contemporary living room ideas, dark blues and greens are on trend, but if you don’t want to dive straight into the dark wall trend, you could opt for a couple of pieces of furniture, or go for dark-hued living room accessories instead. Whites, woods and pastels could work well for Scandinavian living room designs. If an eclectic living room is what you’re after, you could go for large print wallpaper, a statement lighting piece, vibrant rug and lots of colourful book or ornament displays. For a country feel, rustic carpet, stone hearths, comfy armchairs and traditional patterns in creams, greens and browns will give you that cosy cottage feel.

Living room storage ideas

It’s natural that our living rooms tend to attract lots of items and belongings seeing as they act as multipurpose living spaces. Whether you love to read a book; watch a film; let your children play with their toys; practise a craft like knitting or drawing; play a musical instrument or play video games in your sitting room, there will always be a need for a few extra living room ideas that can help you with storage. Apart from the standard bookcases, side tables and TV units, there are a few other handy living room storage ideas you can invest in. As mentioned before, if you have the room and budget for it, a built-in storage unit could be the way forward. With a well-built unit you could hide your TV, DVDs, players, books, video consoles and all sorts away in one place. If you don’t quite have a large enough area for one, you could look at shelving – either side of the chimney breast is a great place to install shelving if you have one in your living room. And don’t forget living room furniture such as sofas, benches and ottomans that lift up to reveal hidden storage; providing seating and storing space at the same time. With the right storage solutions your living room design could open up and feel so much more spacious and stylish. Discover more living room storage ideas by browsing these photos. Once you have your living room storage, colours, design, layout and furniture sorted, all that’s left is to browse the millions of living room ideas on Houzz and save your favourites to an ideabook.
