Woodstock Interior design brilliant minds needed!

2 years ago

Hello All! We are super excited having just bought a home in Woodstock, NY which we plan to rent out on Airbnb seasonally when we aren’t there. We are on a tight budget and have been finding amazing furniture on Facebook marketplace. I also bought a sectional through joybird (in dark blue - faithful indigo) for the living room. But most else is used MCM style furniture.

I am going to post some pictures of The main living room and would really love some advice on what other furniture / design elements would fit “the look” and more than anything - RUGS!

We like the general placement of where the previous owners had their furniture, but we do need a little more seating, and a TV

Also - in the kitchen area we got a round butcher block table and we need some sort of rug in that area. (That’s the photo where they had a blue rug under the table) Maybe a runner instead? or keep it under the table?

Lastly in pic 4 that’s the master bed with a king bed. Small room. Planning white/flax linens and brass seagulls above bed. Trying to figure out if we go with a sheepskin or animal hide at foot of bed OR do an 8x10 light creamy rug. Also trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that we only have 15” on each side of the bed for side tables…..

Thank you so much for any advice or recommendations! We are excited but totally overwhelmed!:). Going to add pix of some of the pieces we have purchased so far for the house also!

I think your wood finishes are starting to be a bit all over the place so I’d suggest not doing that coffee table (although the size and shape are fine)….I’d say glass just to avoid another wood finish. Start with your rugs. Are you planning to paint before everything is moved in? Best to post better pictures of the kitchen and baths (if they are staying as is then paint should be chosen with those hard finishes in mind).

For the main room we have the sectional below and those two credenzas. The walnut table will go in front of the window. Those chairs are not coming with it. We will find something more mid-century…

Note that there is a giant structural beam 6’6” across from the little fireplace in the living room so that is slightly restricting the cozy seating area around there

The entire place will need a paint job too! We were leaning towards our current favorite, which is Behr Ostrich. But I’m hoping we can avoid painting the ceiling. We will have to see. Might have to do all of it.

For coffee table I was debating round vs square. Not sure if this is a touch too small, but it’s a great deal. Def open to suggestions! We are trying to keep costs down where we can and Wayfair is also having some great deals this wk.

@thinkdesignlive Thank you for your feedback! I agree that rugs are of huge importance and honestly I feel like I am spinning my wheels around what to choose! I know ruggable and wayfair have some excellent sales happening right now - but I'm nervous to pull any triggers without some feedback!!

We are for sure planning to paint before moving in, but we are accumulating most of the furniture now. As for kitchen - that has a tile (slate ish) floor that I don't love and plan to put a rug over... The cabinets will be replaced with American Woodmark Leesburg shakers (with a wood stain - probably maple slate). The counter is a kind of a concrete...

I don't mind mixed woods as long as they are stylistically hanging together. Here is a link with pictures of the whole unit... Woodstock main unit .Again these have all the previous owners furniture, not ours - but they are helpful for placement ideas!

If you have any suggestions on rugs I would be thrilled for them! I think in the living room where the couch is that a 6x9 would probably be the best size under the sectional. The slate around the little woodstove is 58" wide (and there is a little bit of wall to the right of that before the opening that leads to the kitchen area (maybe 18"... If you are looking at the stove, From the edge of the slate to the big structural column is 6'6". That's where the sectional will butt up against the column. The previous owners have a smaller rug in front of the couch and chimney, so we could just do something like that, but i had been leaning towards a bigger rug that holds that whole space together... The couch is a darker blue and we are trying to figure out some accent chairs that would compliment it (and not stain easily).

One thing on the coffee table. i love the idea of glass, but b/c that couch is a sleeper sofa, the table has to be easy to move.. i'm afraid glass might be too heavy?

I kind of love it as it is! Cute, colorful, and eclectic--perfect for a country house in Woodstock. The only thing I'd do is add more comfortable seating to create a conversation area near the fireplace.

@Sabrina Alfin Interiors Thank you! Agreed it is super cute and agree on the comfortable seating around fireplace! FYI The furniture there is from the previous owners, so none of it is there anymore... I like the placement of things, but we tend to like the MCM / Scandinavian more than the country house look.. We ordered the Joybird Eliot sleeper sectional in a dark blue (faithful indigo) and are trying to figure out some accent chairs.

OK, but if you go Scandinavian, inject color into it. Don't go neutral on neutral.

Here are some inspiration photos... The blue couch photo and the one below it resonate the most b/c they pop but also have simplicity to it... I will also say that I love the look of Jute rugs in many places as well.. The second photo is a bit busy, but i love the colors
