    The art and sofa work together. The blue walls are a bit overwhelming don't you think?? Off white will work on the walls.

    And this rug

  • 5 years ago

    Yes I put a sample of blue on the wall it was too much. I’m liking reflection by sherwin Williams. I’m rethinking the couch. Love that last rug thank you!

    I have little natural light so I’m trying to go fit a brighter clean look. Any suggestions on couch color?

    The Atmospheric could be nice on ceiling. Or Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light (also a pretty light blue). Very nice art, btw.👌




  • 5 years ago

    Agreed. Atmospheric is beautiful on the ceiling. I like that idea a lot.
    White walls.
    Maybe even eventually a wallpaper.
    The arts very pretty.
    But I’d keep looking on the couch. I’d personally want a more typical shape and a lighter color.

    I have a very small living room, white shiplap is being installed on my vaulted ceiling . I would love light couch but I have dogs and preteens. also very minimal natural light so white walls look dingy. Would a light bright grey work?

    Love the couch’s Lisa Caudill sent.

    Here’s my living room now.( couch cushions being washed so they’re not there but replacing couch anyway. Tired of this look want something less muted.

  • 5 years ago

    Also need something for fireplace that compliments my canvas.

    If you don’t want dingy, don’t do grey walls.


    Light blue on the ceiling would add light, plus make space appear larger. A white on the walls would not be dingy unless your artificial light sources are insufficient. But you may just be on track with your original light blue idea for the walls. The light pastel blues and light sage greens offer the visual effect of more space.; they really can make a space appear larger. A light blue could work with charcoal sofa. Just do a light blue that is a bit less color saturated than the atmospheric - I.e. use a paler light blue.

    I’m starting from scratch. All I have is the new painting with all the vibrant colors . All decor gone. Sofa and ottoman gone I still have table and to stand which I’m thinking of painting.

  • 5 years ago

    I love that idea!!! I’ve been stressing over that. figured I’ll wait until paint , couch and rug put together but that sounds perfect. Mantel is only 2 in thick can I hang the mirror?

    Yes, if there is not already a whole, then you may need a drill and masonry bit, but yes hanging the mirror will look great, like your wreath is in the picture.

    The current couch isn’t an eyesore. Just btw:) I would maybe use a slip cover over it in a different color. Maybe a navy?
    Or maybe you’ll feel more comfortable with white for that?
    ...
    Anyways.
    Paint you should sample. I don’t think the right white will look dingy.
    And blue can work on the walls if you feel more comfortable with blues.
    ...

    For lighting - concentrate on good lighting.
    Well lit spaces make a huge difference.
    ...
    A new rug and new coffee table will brighten the space up a lot too.

    fireplace is 6.5 feet and the couch I currently have is 143 “ wide. im planning on getting another couch with lounge without the corner piece since this is all that fits. I’m definitely going with the navy or teal couch. probably white walls too but now you guys have me thinking about painting the ceiling Blueish? Should I? Would all white be too much? I like the antique mirror so going with that too. So how about my tv stand ? Paint it? Replace it? As for lighting i have plenty in ceiling but suppose a floor lamp would look good by the window and couch🤷🏻‍♀️.

    Accent wall behind t maybe??

  • 5 years ago

    Couch doesn’t look like that anymore that was a few years ago😜

  • 5 years ago

    How would removing the fireplace hearth look like? That would give me more room.

  • 5 years ago

    You’ll need something on the floor. But you can remove the chunky “step” and do something flush so you gain space. I actually think that’s a great idea. Didn’t even think of it!
    As for the couch I’d do navy.
    I wouldn’t paint the ceiling for now. Because of the couch color. Can’t picture that with a navy couch. White will look fine...

  • 5 years ago

    What other suggestion do you have besides white?

  • 5 years ago

    You can do a natural wood color. If you don’t want white

  • 5 years ago

    Ok I decided on all white.. ceiling planks, molding, trim and baseboards. Also going with the plain flat trim . Question is do I do semi gloss on ceiling and trims ? Is my place too small for that? The ceiling area is 15x 25. Going with this navy couch and mirror similar to this one I think I need it bigger.
