Modern glam palace

7 years ago

My colors are white, black, gold with a little gray. I thought of doing white furniture in my family room but afraid if the maintenance. I purchased two chairs but need recommendations on my other pieces of furniture. Should I do 2 white sofas or a sectional or another color? Please help!

    Can you post pictures of the entire space? Hard to tell what would look good if we can’t see the size and depth of the room.

    The orange soda will be replaced.

    With your tv and beautiful fireplace being the focal point of the room, a couch in front of the tv would look nice, maybe light grey? I would move the chairs across each other on either side of the couch. I don’t know the depth of the room, you would need to measure to make sure you can fit a couch comfortably, along with the chairs. Adding a rug, two small end tables at the end of the couch, and a coffee table should do it nicely!

    White sofas would definitely glam it up but would probably be a disaster with 3 dogs. Try a light gray sofa and use pillows to add the glam. Maybe add a bench in front of the fireplace with chairs and sofa flanking the fireplace.

    Thanks everyone. I thought about light gray fabric sofas as well! It’s just me and my yorkie that’s why I wanted to do all white. It’s big enough to hold 2 sofas one to replace the orange sofa and one in front of the tv but I was worried about blocking my fireplace.

    Patricia how is your white leather holding up from stains, dye, etc.?

    Reese what app did you use to add the rug to my space?

  • 7 years ago

    Rugusa.com it’s the “see it in my room” option.

    I would do white leather sofas. Why not do what you love? Just don't read the newspaper on it.

  • 7 years ago

    Do you really need 2 sofas? I would stick with 1 sofa and the 2 chairs, and not put any of them against the walls.

  • 7 years ago

    I like the white chairs a lot, and the navy fabric sofa Reese’s posted would look great paired with a nice rug in this gorgeous room!

    My white leather is 12 yrs old and BTW has stood up very well with 3 dogs. I have never had a stain on it but none of our friends wear indigo dyed jeans and many have told me it will stain. We hve however had many red wine spills with no problem. The newspaper has never been an issue I clean tem maybe 3 x a year and wipe up spills when they happen

    I see that gold is one of your colors. Here are some chandeliers with gold tone.

    Thanks Patricia. That’s what I keep hearing about jeans dye rubbing off, pen marks, etc., And who still reads the newspaper :).

  • 7 years ago

    Hi Elaine. Thanks for the suggestions. I already have my decor picked out I was just torn on sofa colors particularly white, and how to set them up in my space.

  • 7 years ago

    Show us what else you have selected, as that would help with our decisions. Being able to see your entire picture is a big help.

    Light for the family room

  • 7 years ago

    This is the sectional I’m considering

  • 7 years ago

    One if these shag rugs

  • 7 years ago

    Pillows for sofa. I’m thinking about switching out the ones on the chairs

  • 7 years ago

    My kitchen on the opposite side of mainly room

  • 7 years ago

    I feel I can switch up and add an accent color to this color scheme

  • 7 years ago

    Another sofa I’m considering but in review pictures the black looks ashy.

  • 7 years ago

    The wall around the fireplace will be painted black

  • 7 years ago

    Nice choices except for the black sofa.

  • 7 years ago

    I think the white sofa will look great in your space and the color scheme you have works as well. I just tried to put a white sofa in a cream space and it's just awful.

  • 7 years ago

    I don't like those styles of sofas with the ratchet back; something to malfunction. They are not classic and their look will be out of style long before Patricia's 12 year mark. Buy a classic one like a chesterfield for enduring style that never fades.

    Deco I was looking at that style sofa which I think is so pretty but was worried about it going with my modern/contemporary style. That’s a thought though

  • 7 years ago

    Any chance you can return the chairs or move them somewhere else? Because if so I think chairs would be cool in black velvet with gold. And black and white pillows and the white leather sectional...

  • 7 years ago

    No Karen. I had the chairs for a while but I see your point

  • 7 years ago

    Another no vote on the white sofa style in your photo. A Chesterfield sofa would work in a modern/contemporary room.


    I like the chandelier. Your current barstools are great also.


    With the black accent wall, I would not do the black shag rug.

    Also look at sofas available in white Crypton fabric. It is bulletproof and can be found in very nice, soft weaves. I had my sectional recovered in a light beige crypton and promptly spilled a full glass of red wine on it (tripped on the coffee table leg with a full glass in my hand). It cleaned up with water and a little dawn dishwashing soap. Completely. This is my fabric, but they (and other companies have white choices)
