Any ideas for my living room?

We`ve moved into an apartment in a Historical building and its very small!

I am selling all my furniture and starting over.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    For small spaces, I love MCM pieces in neutral. Then, you can accent in any color you want. An MCM accent chair in a color you love makes a nice statement. This sofa also converts to a sleeper for guests...

    Thanks Darcy and Londonvon!

    I like bright colors...thinking of buying a white sectional and a glass table, then adding red, blue and yellow cushions and perhaps a chandelier?

    OMG Im so lost, I don`t know what to do lol

    Oh okay! Now that we know your "starting point" we'll have better suggestions. But, please trust us. A sectional in a small space sucks the space and life out of a room. I like your white sofa with bright accents idea, but scratch the sectional idea. Rarely (yet possible with a floor plan to show us) does a sectional work in a small space. Maybe a small sofa with chaise?? Photo or floor plan?

    HI -- The best thing for a small room is to not have too much color contrast . Having the walls and furniture close in the same color tones possibly in the light neutrals and adding different textures . And no clutter .Fewer small décor items for a few choice larger ones . Then you can add some color accents in the cushions and art etc. Keep the furniture style very tailored and smaller scale with small squared arms .

    Thanks Londonvon, but Ive seriously doubt that it will fit in my tiny, tiny, more like a dollhouse living room!

    My living room it`s 10 feet by 8 feet.

    I would go with a soft gray color around the room and a darker gray in the main back wall and the small wall where the TV is. and do a nice white border and you can do white or light furniture to make it pop

    w the backdrop idea behind the sectional I used the very inexpensive white shears from ikea covering the whole wall. I would cover the the entire window wall as well. ule get a very ethereal feel.

    cover entire window wall n wall opposite the fireplace w the white shears from ikea. I think they're $4.99 for 2 panels. just w that gives a room major wow. elegant n warm at the same time.

    What design? Do u think it will look like the 70`s?


  • 11 years ago
    it won't. it'll give it that ethereal feel. if u use traditional furnishings it takes away from the 70s feel.
    Ana Maria thanked LORDON Lane

    Could u please send me the link?

    What`s the name of it? Ethereal?

    I do not want to abuse your kindness, thanks a million times!

    What`s a white shear??

  • 11 years ago

    And what color/fabric of loveseat would u suggest for the window ?

    Thanks!!!!!

  • 11 years ago
    it's very light n see through. u need a bunch. the accent love seat color would b ure choice of color then u accent around the room w that color w pillows / nick knacks / etc.
    Ana Maria thanked LORDON Lane
  • 11 years ago

    You mean to cover the wall, or the windows...They are sheer curtains.

    What would u do with that wall after I get rid off my loveseat?

  • 11 years ago
    u would hang the shears from ceiling to floor n furnish normally. the love seat would still go in front of the window wall just like in the example.
    Ana Maria thanked LORDON Lane

    The love seat in front of the window, and the sheer curtains on the wall?

    Hum I love the idea..I just dont know how to do it!!!
