Need help with living room - too many browns!
Comments (42)I would use the yellow or red color in the chair and use that for solid color floor to ceiling drapes on the windows covering all the wall too. But keep the drapes open to frame the windows. You won't even see the wall color. Then add the same color accent pillows repeating the red and yellow on the sofa and one pillow on the chair. I do think you need a larger piece of art possibly a colorful abstract over the mantel use a couple of the vases on the coffee table. Then just keep repeating the 2 colors thru out the room adding a bit of the other colors in the chair fabric. You might be able to get more of the fabric that's on the chair to make a couple of pillows for the sofa. Ending up with 3-5 pillows on the sofa. Or 3 pillows and a throw in the drape color on the sofa. I would add a 2nd chair for seating and to round out the conversation area around the room. That could a bold wide stripe with the red and yellow too. Match the stripe to the chair then pick out the solid red or yellow you like for the drapes. Also a table lamp will add a lot to the room. Possibly a floor lamp next to the chair you already have. The lamps will add more color and a finished look to the room. Don't forget large plants to will bring a natural green in that would compliment the green in the rug....See MoreLiving room too masculine? Too much brown leather?
Comments (27)To my eye, there is more of a "Heaviness" to the room than a problem with the colors being too dark. The scale is off on your accessories and the styles are speaking too many different languages. That's where the visual conflict is coming from. It's about "visual weight." The spring green pillows are fighting with the rug. You either need to change out the rug or pull the accessory colors from the rug. The new accessories on the table are pretty and work with the spring green pillows, but they are too "heavy" and speaking a different language than this room. The bird pillow on the side chair is more modern and too lightweight of a fabric and design for this room. The lamps on the bar are too tall. Your windows look great open. There's nothing wrong with adding a fabric top treatment if all of the fabrics in the room work together. The fat lamp on the tiny books is to visually heavy and awkward on the window sill. The big modern plate also doesn't go with the room. All you need is one simple floral arrangement on the window sill or 3 African violets in small white pots. The frame on the painting goes well with the painting. Leave it alone. Now that you explained why you painted the fireplace the darker color, it makes sense. The bright silver horse heads need to go. They would be better on the bookshelves as bookends. They fight the golden metal fireplace tools and the black iron screen. A lot of what an experienced designer does is EDIT. You have a lovely room. It just needs a bit of editing so that everything is telling the same story. You have some beautiful architectural features with delicate details. The items you accessorize this room with need to be delicate and in keeping with that graceful time period....See MoreLiving room ideas to go with brown couch
Comments (64)Time to tackle this with a new paint job. Looking for your thoughts on wall color and even accent wall. Two thoughts on accent wall. The bay window area. and if you look at the original pics with the staircase area do I involve that area or even the room in front past the staircase? Tried my hand at virtual painting and still find it hard to get what I'm looking for. I have been trying to stay with light colors, but maybe I am to light??? Did like the silver sage idea but what to accent with. As always thanks for your help...See MoreLarge brown living room, HELP!
Comments (18)I just realized you have a dachshund (I think)! My parents have two and the younger one looks identical to yours. My parents have a wool rug in their main room on which the dogs constantly wrestle and scratch their backs. It's still in great condition after 10 years but not sure how it would hold up with young kids. Here's an idea if you want to hold off on the rug... FYI - I just copy, cut and paste pics I find online - no special software....See Morelobo_93
