How’d I do so far and what next?!

8 years ago
I need help picking out a coffee table, end tables, wall decor, and curtains! I just feel so lost right now. Also.... thoughts on the pink bench.... is it too childish?

    I think things are moving in the right direction.

    Find a lounge chair in a solid that adds softness and warmth to the room....pick out a color from the rug or a warm leather color.

    Flip the sofa and the TV/ I think the sofa needs to be on the long wall; have the TV rewired to the shorter wall and add a long low modern TV console that is 25% wider than the TV.

    Add end tables and a non matching cocktail table. You will need tall modern lamps for the end tables, martini table and floor lamp to go next to the new lounge chair, and low floor lamps for the matching chairs.....

    This room has art end tables, modern chairs and cocktail table and area rug.....you should also consider replacing the blinds with bamboo roman shades and floor to ceiling curtains in a neutral or geometric pattern for more design pow in the room.

    This room has nice curtains and nice design elements that might work in your room....notice mirror tree flowers, art work, etc. for inspiration that might appeal to you.

    Ugh, I 100% agree with flipping the couch and tv... I wish I would have thought that through more when I was building the house.
    For the lounge chair, are you thinking that instead of the pink bench?
    I will probably keep the shades in there now, I just had them put in 4 months ago

    Have you tried the bench where the chairs are and mve the chairs to the window wall?

    Beverly, you definitely sold me on flipping everything. I LOVE the picture you made, I’m not good at envisioning things so that was super helpful! Do you think I need a coffee table or no?

    Yes to a coffee table, but decide if you want a lift top table or space to accommodate a recliner for your lounge chair.

    The end table and coffee table should complement one another.

    What do you think about one of these for the chair

    But she won't be able to enjoy the television from the kitchen area. So leave it where it is. If you can tolerate this, it will make your bench really pretty. These might not be just the right shade, but you have so little real color, I thought these might work with your pretty rug... They come in soft Dove and Beige also, but how often can you put stars in your den? ??? https://www.wayfair.com/decor-window/pdp/harriet-bee-lesly-solid-blackout-thermal-curtain-panels-hbee5343.html?piid=24058908 Only 4 left...order soon!! :D Love your rug and all your soft colors. A real retreat after a long day at work!!! Congratulations!

    Pink and grey or pink and black go so well together. It's like that classic Chanel suit.

    Cute pooch.


    You have a good beginning; however, I'm wondering if your tv must go on that side of the room because of a cabie connection? Or could any cable connection be moved?


    Another idea would be to move the sofa to use it as a room divider -- have it facing the windows with one end against a wall or with an end table or at least a floor lamp between it and the wall. Perhaps add a sofa table behind it.


    If you could swap the tv and sofa, you could make room for narrow end tables with tall thin lamps w/medium sized shades each side of the sofa -- or a lamp/table combo.

    You'll want the front feet of your sofa to rest on the rug wherever you place it. (nice rug)


    Like the idea of a window seat/bench. Consider adding plant stands with plants by the windows, too.

    I love all the comments! I think I am going to but the tv on the small wall. I’m sure I can have them move the cable hookup. I think I really like this chair and it’s leather. I’ve been reading about icing textures... do you think this would work?

    IMO the lounge chair should be less traditional in style and more modern to go along with your other selections. These are from All Modern, but I'm sure there are lots of selections out there. A high back would be a desirable feature

    Haha I was actually looking at that exact chair earlier! I woke up this morning and moved my furniture around.... what do you think?!?

    Also, that’s not the canvas I would actually use... I just put that there to get a feel for it.

    More inviting this way! I would love to see the couch and chairs pulled off the walls just a bit.

    I can do that when I get home tonight, how far do you think?
  • 8 years ago

    6 inches or so ... just so it doesn't go directly up against the wall.
