HELP: 60s Living/Dining Combo

6 years ago

We are needing to make this living area into our TV room as well— I’ll be painting the dresser and putting our TV on it.
Any ideas for decorating this wall and also the wall behind our table? It’s time we said goodbye to “gather” :).

Thanks in advance!

    **couch is now in front of window and dresser is in its proper place. Other things can be moved!

    Not very inviting for seating though .Use the art pieces from the LR in the DR and A better choice for the TV would be someting that has storage for all the TV stuff and then maybe some display shelving too that would allow some toy storage which will be needed soon by the looks of it and would also eliminate the brown book shelf .This is Ikea Besta it can be configured to look custom with this one I would replace the bottom shelves with more storage to suit what you need.

    In place of "gather." yet in the same vein of family & friends...

    1) You could create large grid wall of photos- grandparent black & whites, mixed with present friend gatherings Use colored mat board or change the mats according to your accent colors. This is a 3x3 grd with a beach vibe, but you could do black and white photos . It looks like you already have two - just add more

    2) Or a large abstract

    3) Or a large photo of a locale that has special meaning for you

    Your rooms could really use some pops of color, IMO. Right now, with cream and black, you have a blank slate to which any number of color schemes could work. Pink, Kelly green, or royal blue could work. What kind of art do you like? I could picture a large abstract piece in your dining room, perhaps over a long low buffet. Take your colors from it and add a couple of pillows and a throw or an accent chair. Then maybe do a gallery wall around your tv on your big living room wall with a combination of family photos, mirrors, artwork, etc.

    Adding those chairs to the room would look great

    Gallery walls around tv. Can be eclectic or very uniform and monochromatic. Depends on what you have and what you like! The last one in black and white would look great if you add some color with a pillow, chair, or throw.
