I really don't know what i can do to this room .Can i make it look better with your help? ...
Comments (36)Really like all the natural light and that you have sheers. Your room has great potential. If you have a fixed panel with your patio door unit, consider adding a living plant (or maybe not with a toddler). Your drapes are hanging a bit oddly. If you keep these drapes, see if you can reset the hooks or get a different kind of hook so the tops of the drapes are more uniform. You have enough natural light to consider hooking the tops of the pairs of drapes together and investing in some tie backs for style. the fabric need not match the drapes -- just coordinate with your color of choice. The color of the drapes seems intended to coordinate with the wide tan armless seat. In the second pic, the corner looks cluttered. Unless those are toys needed in the room, see what in that pile you might move/store out of sight. Does your ottoman have storage -- that's always a plus, especially if the top is reversible with a solid firm side for using it as a coffee table as needed. Avoid adding clutter disguised as art. Art should represent your interest and be something you value and treasure -- not just something to fill the space on a wall or a place on a shelf. With a toddler, you really don't want to crowd the room with any more furniture than you need. Try moving what you have around a bit before investing in more pieces. Try centering the rug in the room away from all three walls and/or at least putting the sectional farther onto the rug -- the is to move the sectional a bit away from the windows. Alternately, split the difference: move the rug a bit farther toward the upper right corner and the sectional all the way onto the rug. A coffee table doesn't always "work" with a sectional -- which way do you turn it is the problem. It appears you have two armless/backless pieces to your sectional. Consider embracing using one as an ottoman and the other (smooth top) either as another ottoman or as seat separate from the sectional, perhaps with a light in between and a matching one on the other end of the sectional: either a narrow end table with a tall lamp (thin lamp post) or, alternately, a floor lamp with shelf/table top built in. Some are modern metal units: http://10g7st2kmllr2l0zfg141olfkl4.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/fl6314ab_bm-Murray-Feiss-TableFloor-Lamp-in-Antique-Brass.jpg http://www.retrosonik.com/lamp/floor-lamp-with-table-in-your-living-room/attachment/brushed-nickel-floor-lamp-with-table/ Some are modern with wood: http://st.hzcdn.com/fimgs/a101ff0e05f87f53_1886-w233-h233-b1-p10--floor-lamps.jpg Some are more traditional and wood: https://res.cloudinary.com/fivemiles/image/upload/w_400,f_auto/v1441927732/ohtyqce3oriohhvpi7td.jpg http://www.lampsplus.com/products/marville-mission-style-swing-arm-floor-lamp-with-end-table__2t841.html http://www.mystic-wicker.com/images/389_end_table_floor_lamp_4630_oct12_71_61.jpg Some are more sturdy than others so shop around. I've been unable to find the one I saw last week that was a really heavy wooden pedestal table with a lamp post through the pedestal. Since you have a small child in the home, I'm surprised the shelf below the tv has breakables in it rather than toys and/or your small "hope" pillows for the little one to claim while lying on the floor to watch tv. On my screen, your wall color seems to be an off white w/yellow hue and white ceiling. If you might have wanted a less neutral color but need to accept what you have for now, consider an alternative for adding color. You can get rolls of narrow trim tape (about three or four inches wide) intended for the top of wall paper that can be added horizontally to the top of the wall above your drapes and all around the top of the wall in this room. While some designs are just geometric prints or strips, others have images that might reflect an interest or hobby. One of my neighbors chose a hunting and woods theme while another chose a beach -- using the strips on painted walls rather than walls with wall paper....See MoreI don't know WHAT to do with this room! I can change the lamps and tables but to what? Should I change the rug
Comments (61)Yes it popped up to me to. lol I would look for a stripe drapes with the brown & red in them, Stick closer to 2 major colors and 1 accent color for a easy way to bring the room together. The small lamp use it add 3-4 big books to set the lamp on to bring more height to the lamp. or a décor box etc I love using books to raise up things to feel taller. If your even in this home still lol Put one of the plants on the console near the stairs it will look more grand, also get rid of the little things or group them buy very large accessories ....See MoreWhat am I missing here???
Comments (77)I would use a 1"x2" light travertine tile, honed, laid vertically to the ceiling. I would do an inlay above the stove all in the same color stone, such as a harlequin shape framed by a 2"x12" chair rail. Simple, yet pulls together the cooking area and looks structural. Now you have a focal point....See More2 questions: Should I get end tables here? What colour for area rug?
Comments (28)Try an 8ft round one. It will look wonderful with your table. Also don't do Brown. Do grey tones instead..Is that purple I see in your chairs? You could pull that colour out too if you can find a mix. Try Wayfair online. They have lots of interesting choices. Try a small round table with a black frame in between the two wing chairs. Nothing on the outside of the chairs as you will then have two more things to protect from wagging tails. I thing having the small table between the two wing chairs protects your coffee and wine from canine mishaps. Nesting tables are possible and I've seen some nice round ones. That way you'll have some more surface if needed and it wil give the space between the chairs more visual weight....See MoreT eresa
