You guys hate this right?

start with adding some fun new decorative pillows. piggy packing on your green color interest... i would also add in some teals/ light blues & mis matched pattern and size pillows. Will really help the room come to life.

My favorite paint color seen from the above is that dark olive.

Wonder if we could put some reclaimed wood on the wall (just a section of the wall between the back windows) and hang the horse art on it. It would have to be a shade that would go with the blinds. Just have some of that shade in there.

Pcomom1....Stunning

You posted those blue samples earlier, and this "read" from Sherwin Williams saw your room as pretty uniform except for the Rhythmic Blue shown bottom right. You might find a shade on that same color chip card that pleases you if you're still considering blue. I've always liked a lighter blue with the color of your sofa.

No I don't like blue. Only posted blue because someone asked me to.

Very few things I hate. Just want it to work in the space.

What is that "read" thing from Sherwin Williams. Not sure what you are saying decoenthusiast.

Looking at the picture PCMom posted there is very little colors other than neutrals and it looks beautiful. That's what I like

BM Mortar

I like the lamps, map, paint and rug. Not pillows, sorry. I think cocktail table, drums or ottoman cannot be brown. Need something to stand out? What do you think?

Bingo....You read my mind! Is that table large enough? It's great!

Monochromatic rooms are lovely. I have that in my home. It is very difficult to pull off without looking drab and boring. It's a combo of textures, finishes and tones. Notice the reclaimed wood wall, textural rug, velvet couch? I think, in the photo. All very expensive pieces, but a great look :)

How big is your space? This 32" rather small. You need 18-24" all around table from sofa for comfortable seating.

I just threw the pillows in for a bit of color. You get what you want.

Debbie, are you feeling good about it now?

Program at Sherwin Williams that "reads" your photo and matches their paint colors to it. Usually the first column of colors are those identified in the photo and the second column are more subtle accent colors detected by the program, or sometimes just the colors in a view out the window in your room - like sky blue and tree green.

Susan2494 the room is 22x 20

Havingfun I called an interior designer in my area. No reply yet. You all have really helped know what I like. Monochromatic

Those are nice what susan put up.

I meant how big is the space in the middle of the sofa area for a coffee table. You need 18-24" from the edge of the sofa to the edge of a coffee table. If it is 70" from one side to the other then a table about 35"-42" is about right.

Since you use it as a media room, treat it as such. Darken the walls to the same mushroom color as the sofa, hang some colorful movie posters and add some C tables where people can set their snacks.

Nice to hear you will be consulting g a designer. You deserve to have a nice space for your family movie nights. Let us know when you are finished!

What did you think about that last wall color Mortar?

That's not a wrap-around sofa. That's 3 sofas and 2 corner pieces. Break them up. Be creative with the layout--maybe put a few tables between the pieces (like end tables).

It's nice Susan too.

OH, that mortar color is good!

She is consulting an I.D. Yay!

Yes, I can hardly wait to hear all about that meeting.

I like the mortar color. No return call yet from designer. And If those pics are meditteranean I take that back.

hey no prob, will pull down. lol Just checking, sometimes they tell us something is something and it really is not that. tehehe, but now you know.

The wait is on.

aren't we a little old for the whole birthing thing? oh well at least i am.

Met with an interior designer and she is great. She should have some ideas for me this week. Thank you everyone for all your help. It gave me a better idea of what I like by plugging things into the room. Ill keep you posted, if your curious.

yep, great idea!

Debbie, just read your update re: the Interior Designer. Glad that the meeting went well and seems that you like her, too (always a plus when working with one! ;-)). Looking forward to seeing the ideas and/or finished space once you're done. :-)

Actually, it was Sandyc who recommended an interior designer, not a decorator. I can't take credit for her idea. Thanks Sandy! Hopefully, its affordable!

Didn't you discuss price points in the meeting? If you didn't, hang on to your wallet.

No

So happy your meeting went well. I suggested a designer, since you were kind of stuck, and having done your whole home over since the fire, I think you deserve a break!
For some reason many on this forum think a designer will cost a lot of money, but don't bat an eyelash when suggesting to OPs that the furniture is all wrong, color of the walls are wrong after the OP has painted five times, etc.
A designer works with ones budget and comes up with a multi stage plan. Not everything is done at once.
A designer will be very helpful helping you choose a color scheme, since we are not there and can't see the room in person.
It's a more economical way to design a room, instead of by the seat of your pants, and prevents many expensive design disasters.
I'm very happy for you!

So this designer didn't bother to talk budget with you and she is bringing ideas. Holy moly. To me that's a little scary.

Debbie, I agree with Susan. I'm all for you working with a designer too, especially if you feel more comfortable completing your project with one. But a discussion that's budget-related (and particularly what you're expecting out of that budget) is definitely important to have sometime soon.....and before entering into an agreement or contract.

She actually did e-mail me a budget sheet after our meeting and before presenting any ideas. Nothing completed as of yet.

Update? Did you resolve any of your issues? Waiting to hear :>)

me too!

No, so far she sent me table choices and throw rugs and I said what I thought of each by email and she sent me large paint samples. But haven't heard from her since.

WOW are you paying her? Strange. Can we help?

She just contacted me. Maybe she's reading this, lol

houzz as design monitor, thats a new one. lol
