Living Room Help

5 years ago

Our new couch is arriving in a week (Aug 5th), and I’ve sold our old coffee table and end table. So I’be been researching what we should get, considering our living room is an open concept with the dining room.

Here’s our couch (Article Anton Sofa in Winter Grey), our dining table (original 1960s walnut MCM table with Danish leather upholstered chairs), and two mood board/design ideas I’ve come up with for the area. Our style is 60% mid century modern and Scandinavian, 30% traditional. (I love MCM and Scandinavian and minimalism, my husband would turn the whole house into a nineteenth century gothic castle if it was up to him.)

I am also going to paint the downstairs room Sherwin Williams Repose Grey. The current color is Behr’s Silver Bullet and it skews too purple. I can pull up a floor plan if that helps too. I’ve basically been doing this by myself and am not sure if I’m doing this right anymore.

I would not do a gray wall and please no placemets left on the table when no one is eating. I am not sure where all the pieces you show are going. I do not like the end table with the walnut and IMO a glass and chrome one might be a better choice. What is the white and gold piece for? I would remove the DR rug it is too small and I really dislike thodse dark drapes in the space I love the rug with the teal so that works in the LR and I honestly would do the walls white and use a very pale blue for drapes . IMO the white and gold buffet is too glam for the table and also looks too large. I love Eileen gray end tables and maybe a chandelier for the DR hung lower and with chrome .

The rugs and drapes are not staying nor is the dining room light. The light came with the house. I also left the placemats there for now but they will not be left on top all the time. We just moved in and I want to start from scratch but I have to change things gradually.

I have a bunch of Eider White buckets in the garage that I could use for the interior. I bought them to repaint the garage interior. I’ll see if it works indoors.
