Suggestions, thoughts

last year

Pics of my new place of my manufactured home. Have no furniture yet except a chocolate love seat(my apt is only 500 sq ft, new is 1200) but i envision my dark chocolate loveseat, white tv stand, blue chairs/sofa. Would this look good with these floors? Plus have a pic of my kitchen window, all windows have blinds but this one, do i need em or curtains? First pic is rug im thinkn of buying. Thank you

    The kitchen sink window needs blinds so your neighbors can't see into your house at night.

    Thank you, just weird that all windows but that one came with blinds.

    Pretty kitchen. Because of the angle from the lower neighbor to your window, unless you're doing dishes in the nude, I wouldn't worry about a window covering there. They are going to be able to see you from the neck up when you are at the sink and not much but the top of your head if you step back from the sink. I like the expansive territorial view and I'll bet your neighbor will pull their blinds so you can't see into THEIR house!

    You didn't picture your sofa or chairs. Whether that rug works or not will depend on the shades of blue and brown you have. If they are in the rug, then it will be fine with your floors. Be sure you get a large enough rug. If you post the size of your room and the size of your couch and chairs, people can suggest the right size to get. People often purchase rugs that are undersized.

    If you get your living room furniture set up, you can take a pic and upload it to one of several rug sites on the internet and you can actually virtually place different rugs in your room to see how they look.

    Excuse the mess lol

    You have a lot of variation of pattern in the floors and countertops. I would look for a simpler rug.

    I think your brown and blue furnishings will work together because you have warm tones and cool tones in the finishes.

    Thank you, have 2 rugs on marketplace that looking at that has the brown and blue that is alot more simplier and tone. Appreciate the advice.

    500 sq ft...there is no space for your loveseat. Turn the corner into a flexible space. Plenty of room for dining or just sitting and chatting. This design is from West Elm.



    No rugs.

    Here is a chart to guide you on what size rug to purchase for your seating arrangment. Keep in mind that at the very least the front feet of your seating should anchor the rug. No 'island rugs' where they sit in the room with only a coffee table to anchor them.

    Thank you, this will come in handy after figuring how furniture will go..

    I've looked at several rugs like that before online (Karastan has some like that) and they look very different in real life. Given the gray washed flooring perhaps something more neutral in color and less bold in pattern.

    Thank you, think it caught my eye cause of what i imagine my furniture n artwork will be, (33 yrs of nothing but brown got me color crazy lol)perhaps after getting the furniture first then come back with pics. Appreciate the advice.

    This is distressed Persian is similar but with the symmetry to me is less busy and more muted in color.

    Get your room set up with the furniture in place. Take pics and come back here before you buy a rug. People will help you by placing the rugs you like into your photo so you can see how they look.

    @elcieg he has 1200 sq feet. Reread his post. Plenty of room for his loveseat and more.

    Since you like the rug here is the link. They say order the smallest rug size as a "sample", return it and order the big one.

    Hi James!
    Pondering…beautiful kitchen and flooring! …

    I might suggest a gray slipcover for the loveseat? Gold or gray? Lots of gold straw baskets for kitty to play in and storage? And while the floors are a cool ash tone - beautiful! - gold and silver and blue — clean and very classic look! You can certainly put blinds in the kitchen or curtains, and I would have at least some window covering? Canvas curtains? Still pondering …

    thank you, great ideas..

    Hi James! Checking Houzz and post updates, could you let us know a little more about your other furnishings, perhaps the shade of blue of you chairs? A green blue, or closer to denim? Might tho us with your rug suggestions! Thanks!

    Dont have any furniture yet except my chocolate loveseat from my current apartment, so was just asking and thinking of blue chairs/sofa and white tv console to buy. Guess im putting the cart before the horse as they say lol. Very first place as a owner so guess im jumping the gun.

    This blue chair in the steely cool tone seems to go with the gray in your floors and counters nicely.

    I couldn't resist creating an AI inspo room for you, these two rooms are obviously the same prompt.
