Living room help

5 years ago

So there is the dilemma of having something look good, as well as being comfortable and functional. Would love any suggestions for this room.

1. We really like the sofa and chairs... may not go together the best, but very comfortable and functional for our use. Also like the current configuration (instead of moving the sofa around).

2. Would prefer to keep the wall colour as its a very large room, but open to suggestions.

3. Looking to replace carpet, which is currently 9x12. Thinking going 10x14. Any suggestions? Colour?

4. Need a new coffee table. Rectangular / square / round? Colour? White marble? Wood?

5. Also thinking about replacing the island top with granite. Any colour suggestions?

6. Anything else needed for the room? Different pillows on sofa?

Thank you for any ideas.

I would suggest painting the room white. Definitely need a bigger rug. I would add a sectional and remove the two black chairs. Any coffee table can go... I’m imagining glass with gold on it... changing the countertops would definitely add a lot. Really nice space!!!

Beautiful room. Are you looking for a small change or a big change?

Rob- That is a beautiful room!

I don't know how much you entertain, and how many people you have over when you do, but a room that size needs more seating.

That room can easily accommodate:

two sofas plus those two black chairs,

or one sofa plus two sets of two chairs each (one sofa plus 4 chairs)

I would get two sofas and put them at right angles and put the two black chairs on the third side of the imaginary rectangle.

You do need a larger rug for sure.

What type you get is entirely your preference.

If you can tolerate color, I would get a positively smashing hand knotted Persian or woven nomadic.

And get a couple of very big, very tall live plants for two corners of the room.

If you don't want a colored rug, you can get one with a more subtle pattern of a grey on white.

What throw pillows you get depend on what rug you get.

I would get more art for the walls.

What is that black chest? Do you need it in the room? Are its contents essential for the living room?

If you have a sofa a few feet up from there, I am wondering if that side of the room mightn't feel cramped. And you can get a narrow sofa table to put behind the sofa and put a couple of lamp on the ends of the sofa table because it seems you don't have light sources in that room.

The sofa table can be pulled closer to the second sofa and serve both sofas.

The chairs should be closer together with an end table between the two.

If you get a very patterned rug, I like a transparent coffee table (lucite or glass)

If you put granite on the kitchen counter I would get a very peaceful granite.

Your living room should be the star, not the kitchen counter.

Joe Corlett, a PRO here thinks Corian is the best thing for kitchen counters and it comes in so many varieties. Why not ask him to tell you why.
