living room arrangement

7 år sedan

So I have moved the living room furniture, taken your previous advice and aimed to create a focal point of the room. I am working with the furniture that I have at hand. I'm enjoying the new set up much better, some thing just still doesn't seem right? Maybe lighting ? Thanks in advance!!!

I think the fireplace is too small and look too much fake and the clock is too big.

Are the front feet of your couches on the edge of the rug?

En våningssäng funkar alltid! Om de vill ha separata lekytor kan man alltid sätta upp en skiljevägg? Jag gjorde en sökning på "shared kids room" på houzz och dessa alternativ kom upp (en hel del bra ideer): http://www.houzz.se/photos/query/shared-kids-room/nqrwns Man kan ju alternativt sätta upp någon sorts draperi bredvid varje säng som en "sänghimmel" för att dela av rummen ytterligare. Tycker bilden nedan är söt även om draperierna just här inte används för att skilja av. Detta alternativet maximerar ytan

Mey, it was not my intention to hurt your feelings nor to sugarcoat the fact that you need more color. You know this better than anyone. Why else should you show the ( very ) different color curtains? I don't know what your going to du but, I am absolutely convinced you'll do what you need to do, you'll do it when you're good and ready. Last but not least, it'll be fantastic! Once again, Mey, good luck to you and please please could you not write again, to keep us posted?!

Hej Mona, I hope its ok write in English. I have a few suggestions for you, that should make you feel more at balance and at home with your living room. The shelf above the sofa looks great! Also super nice decorated and not too cluttered (happens more often than not in my house) Instead of having many small plants, swap them for 2-3 bigger ones, placed on the floor. Just because you have a window sill doesn’t mean it needs to be filled, less is more. I love the warm colours, the rusty orange, greens and beige. I only find the white knitted blanket to be a harsh contrast. Maybe it can move to another room? Since your TV is mounted on the wall, I would add a slim shelf/ box shelf underneath (also hanging on the wall) – depending on the type of receiver you have, you can even hide it behind the tv – there are fixtures for that. Then I would remove the tv bench underneath, for a more spacious feel of the room. The cables I would put in a plastic rail/ tub, leading to the outlet. In terms of wall paint, Id go for a warm dark grey on the wall behind the sofa & tv. If you have any more questions feel free to ask Hope I helped a little! Have a great day!

Hi Francesca! Nice place you got. I suggest you create a conversation corner, with two smaller sofas facing each other, or one sofa and two chairs. You can also change position of the sofa to back on to the cupboards if you don't need to face a TV. And then just go for it with colorful rugs, cushions and art! Please post when you have started, look forward to seeing the transformation!

I'm sure I could find something to move from a different room. I even thought what if I put a bold word there, like those carved out word pieces?

I know....taking from one spot to another does that, but it would be nice to play with that red in the room and have it both places. I like the vase with the art and I like this size. OK....leave that there and go to the piece where you put the clock, and bring in the little white pitcher that is on the top and try it there, too.

@abbyjean going back to a previous comment about a chair being by the fireplace, I had a matching chair in here and it was wayyyy too much furniture. In a dream world I'd have new furniture haha and maybe a new house ! Lol!

Well, what if you were to trade the love seat for the chair? Usually only one person sits on a love seat, so a chair would seat the same number of people.

Could that larger book shown above work on the coffee table and place that fun elephant on top of it.

Well, at least the chair has a home and it all works. No need for new furniture....this all works as you have a basic color to play with and red is a fun accent.

Do you have any plants in the room? Every room really can use that piece of LIFE.

OK....flowers go back to the coffee table and the pile of books and candle comes back, with the tea pot added. Always best to work with odd numbers. The books and candle really count as one, so with the teapot....only two. We need one more item to make it feel right.

OK....try scooting the books in a bit and placing the plant on top of the pile....but not centered on the stack. Right now things are lined up too much. Then place the candle beside the stack of books, within a few inches. The teapot gets the other end of the mantel for itself, but not all the way to the edge.

I think dark coloured bookcases either side of the fireplace would "beef" it up some. Not taller than the FP and the same dark color. Then you could put a larger piece of art & fill up that wall some.

You are good! Sorry about the bossy pants tonight, but love playing with posters that are sooo willing to try things....and not spend any money doing it!!! I actually like this. How does it feel in the room? Sometimes this is all that is needed to make a balance that was missing before.

I think a red throw....I love throws in a room for that cozy factor and texture....and a pillow with some red on one seating piece will tie the fun accents together.

YES! There you go! I like that!!! Walk away and see what it is like when you come downstairs in the morning and it is all fresh and not so IN YOUR FACE like it is now. Are you ok with the red teapot missing from another place? I am not making fun, but I know what it is like to mess up one place to make another place work.

You room is looking great. I still think the problem is the size of the fireplace. What if you used paint or wallpaper to add width. You could trim the edge with a piece of molding. It would be easy to paint it back when you sell. Excuse my paint job.

The problem as others have stated is the too small and fake fireplace. There's really not much you can do about it. Trying some tricks might make it seem even smaller and faker. I would recommend replacing it with furniture for example, like side table/credenza(or a larger fireplace if you must) and add big, interesting art instead of clock.

I agree about the fireplace, but unfortunately if I remove it right now that room will be very cold. I don't plan on keeping the fireplace forever, but it's doing its job for now. I'd love to replace it with a more beautiful piece, but it's unfortunately not in the budget right now :(
