Fixer Upper Final Stage dilemma

7 years ago

Hey everyone! I would love your feedback on how to design this room. Please ignore all the Christmas presents. I took these Christmas day. We are restoring/renovating a 100 year old coastal farmhouse. This was an extension added as seen in the first photo from previous owner. We have come such a long way (all on our own with no help) but I am a novice on how to decorate with this type of slanted ceiling. This is our family/living room and we would like to keep the rustic yet coastal theme. Any thoughts on how to decorate without going nuts? Note, the toys will not be scattered like this...haha. Thanks for your input!

It looks so much nicer. Love the floor. Drapery color is good but I would treat the window and door as one by having just one curtain rod and the same drapery length. At least the rods need to be the same color and height. I'd also do a complete wall of open and closed shelving where the piano was Or where you have the tv

Agreed with the above comment but I also realise you have a large baseboard heater. Hang a long, dramatic, entertainment cabinet above it. You have a beautiful space!

A large area rug to define the main seating/gathering area is a good thing. A smaller matching or coordinating rug for the kids to play on is perhaps more comfortable than playing on the bare floor. Your tallest pieces of furniture could be in the tallest part of the room, but medium-height pieces can go in the area with a lower ceiling height. Art should be hung at eye level whether the ceiling is high or not-so-high.

We agree that you need a large area rug and we recommend a long console along the TV wall. Here is one of our current designs that might help with the TV wall design:
