Living room

How can I add color to this room? Which shades would help liven up the space without being clashy?

    Artwork on the walls.

    It looks cold because there are no warm colors. What kind of art do you have in the house? Some lamps and throws would be good too.

    The chairs and couch are beautiful!! I love them! Honestly I would be tempted to put pink in there!

    An entertainment system could add both storage and warmth to your living room! Visit our website for more ideas and inspiration!

    You need a coffee table and some floor lighting.

    Julie I wasn't pink too! Like fuscia...my husband is one of those manly men. I don't think he would like coming home to that every day.

    Add warmth by painting an accent wall (prob the tv wall). Chocolate brown, dark gray, or even black could add some drama. Then add a nice big piece of artwork (greens, yellows, browns, purples) to the wall above the couch. Your curtains could bring in more colors, too that would coordinate with your current color scheme. This website might help you: http://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/basic-color-theory

    Can you replace the curtains or repaint the walls?

    Large mirror above sofa to reflect your outside or a painting.

    I think i'ts very pretty! if you don't want to swap anything out I would add pictures on the walls beside the TV and behind the couch. What about a glass votive beside the media stand with branches that have the lights in them. Maybe some kind of side table beside the couch that is a warm wood color?

    The one change I would make in your beautiful room is to change the window treatment color to the exact color of wood trim on your furniture. That one tweak wlll accentuate it. For the accent color: caramel.

    Julie can you post a pic of the type of glass votive you mean?

    One of my favorite rooms is the first picture and deep, rich brown velvet would be a lovely choice for pillows. Adding a great coffee table and pulling the two chairs in will make the space feel more intimate. Large art over the couch should do the trick and incorporate blue/cream/brown and maybe even mauve or purple.

    The only picture I can find of a glass votive like I was thinking is awful quality :( But just a simple clear glass vase that is on the larger side like 18" tall and like 8" in diameter.. In it I would put the branches that have the lights in them. Like a group of these vvv

    I would do this in a larger scale and put it in the corner near the window. Maybe a tall standing lamp with a long white shade in the other corner, behind the couch.

    A great floor lamp in corner lamp, on table in front of window and a small coffee table. Picture on left of TV for balance.


    I wouldn't get any more end tables, the design on the ends of furniture is beautiful Let it show.

    One thing that I have noticed, while decorating my own home, is that once I put a color on the walls, I don't like that color repeated in the room because there's already so much of it. What I do like, is to use complimentary colors in the rest of the room. Your wall color is very pretty, your furniture is beautiful, and the rug is stunning, but I see what you mean; there is a lack of life, surrounding these beautiful items.

    I would change your curtains to something neutral and beige, preferably with a nice texture, or subtle pattern. Your coffee table should be something in the same warm, golden family. I would remove the blue vases and replace with cream vases, and for the the tiniest touch of color, I would add cherry blossom red, either in the artwork, or in the pillows, but to keep the calm serenity of the space, it would be the tiniest bit, because that's all it would need.
