Need help decorating dark living room sectional

6 years ago

Hi everyone, we just got done installing oak hardwood floors and painting the walls. We had light color carpet which looked good with our dark brown leather sectional. I love our sectional and are not planning to change it, but need to lighten it up with pillows/throws. I found this beautiful rug that I love and it matches the wall paint. The walls are painted SW Accessible Beige and floors are stained Early American.

How does this throw look? I think I like it... is it in the right spot? Do I need more?

As far as the pillows... i like these new ones I got but definitely need more and different shapes/sizes. Please help!!!

    For function vs look, this rug is used to keep all our shoes when we come in… it gets pretty full!

    Perhaps a basket to throw shoes in? It looks like you have an extra rug where the shoes get dropped on? Perhaps another one of those vs using the actual rug? Just trying to get both function and style.. what do you think of the geometric style? It comes in different sizes.

    Hi everyone, going back to this room. We need to transform it into lounge area for 4 people. We have a huge sectional in the living room but this is where we mostly end up spending most of our time. Need something to balance out the room, put our feet up and somehow coordinate this existing barrel table where we collect wine corks and the existing rug. I want fabric vs leather. Thank you!

    How about just 2 more of the same chairs? Perhaps an ottoman and use the barrel table as a side table for two of the chairs. Then a small cocktail style table for another chair. What did u do for the rug in entry, didn't hear back on that

  • 2 years ago

    I would like something more comfortable, bigger. And something to kick our feet up.

  • 2 years ago

    Trying put this ruggable for entryway
    Very easy to vacuum, haven’t washed it yet

  • 2 years ago

    Love the pattern of the rug

  • 2 years ago

    Do you want to add to what you have?

  • 2 years ago

    Ideally, to add
    But not loving the chairs as they are not great for lounging

  • 2 years ago

    How about two of these with two ottomans in the same spot as the green chairs and them the round barrel in between them as a side table?

  • 2 years ago

    Or keep the green chairs in front of the fireplace with the barrel as a side table and on the opposite side this couch with a ottoman

  • 2 years ago

    I can fit a 72” sofa, if it has a sleeper, that’s even better

  • 2 years ago

    Seems like the sofa would be better only because it fits more people vs just two chairs and ottomans.

  • 2 years ago

    Do you entertain in that room?

  • 2 years ago

    No, very rarely, 1-2 adults

  • 2 years ago

    Ok, so which do you prefer, the two chairs with ottomans or the sofa? Both would work great

  • 2 years ago

    I think bigger chairs with ottoman would be more comfortable, even if there is just two, if they are wider, kids can fit too..

  • 2 years ago

    I love this, but not grey

  • 2 years ago

    Found it in this color too, reviews say it’s a warm grey, more like a greige

  • 2 years ago

    And the picture

  • 2 years ago

    Really like the shape of the last chair. I like the greige.

  • 2 years ago

    They are now on sale for black Friday, $899 for two, but nor sure how it will look with the round barrel

  • 2 years ago

    Also found this oversized chair, very good reviews and apparently even 1 adult and 2 kids fit in one. Third picture is of the Costco chairs

  • 2 years ago

    Or this ottoman

  • 2 years ago

    I measured the area this morning, they are too massive, it would take up almost the entire rug… back looking for smaller ones

  • 2 years ago

    Found this… blue markings on the floor to show the fit

  • 2 years ago

    I like the color of this better, with footstools

  • 2 years ago

    Shoot. Loving everything you are showing

  • 2 years ago

    This is great

  • 2 years ago

    Would try angling toward fireplace vs in front of window

  • 2 years ago

    Could I flip the rug the other way too? Chairs won’t fit on the width of the rug

  • 2 years ago

    Try it and see. I don't like the chairs in front of window, need to be angled, even if they aren't fully on the rug

  • 2 years ago

    Chairs are perfect!!! So comfortable and big, we all fit here now. Room got crowded with a dog cage (we just got a dog this week) and the big plant which is temporarily here until we take the Christmas tree down.

    Hello lovely Houzz community! Hope you are having a relaxing summer.

    Looking to do something about our kitchen. Nothing major as far as changing cabinets or flooring, but I want new countertops, probably washout paint over backsplash, a bigger island, and new open shelves instead of the black ones. Do you have any suggestions? Ideally, I would like the wall around the existing island to go and make the countertop slightly bigger to fit one more stool. Excuse the mess :) thank you!

  • 2 years ago

    No wall around the island
    Two long floating shelves

  • 2 years ago

    Don't quite understand but three stools can only fit there and what island are you talking about the one on the left the oak one you want to open the wall remove the upper part of the wall?

  • 2 years ago

    Are those granite countertops? And you don't like them? I know the white tile on that cabinet can be replaced with the color in the granite like a beige to match the floor too

  • 2 years ago

    I dislike the countertops, too dark, dated
    The island where the 3 bar stools are there. I know it’s not an island… but that’s where we always hang out and would like it bigger to fit 4 chairs, there is 4 of us.

  • 2 years ago

    Any others ideas on how to open up the space is appreciated

  • 2 years ago

    Hmmm...where the drk floating shelf can remove & add a fold up narrow table for 2. Then 2 can be at kitchen opening.

    Hello everyone! Back for advice on redoing our daughter’s bedroom. She is turning 11 and she’s over the pink. Looking to repaint the walls off-white, change the bed to beige upholstered , add a corner desk between the windows, keep the white nightstand and the dresser/mirror, and move the furniture around. Thinking the bed between closet and door, dresser where the bed is now, bookshelf’ where the bird picture is, and desk in the corner. Please let me know your ideas as well. Here are pictures of her room and I will add some photos of what else she liked. Thank you

  • 9 months ago

  • 9 months ago
