Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Living Room Combo Help

2 months ago
last modified: 2 months ago

Hi! I need help with this space. This is the extension of the kitchen (behind the recliner is a 4 seat kitchen island that is white quartz). Do I put a cabinet of some sort against the wall under the air unit, small leaf drop 2 seat table, plant something or other or something else? There is a dining room on this floor too so we don't need that. Thanks in advance!!!

    Thanks for the help! I like the idea of a cabinet of some sort with perhaps a large floor plant in the corner. Any suggestions for cabinets?

    This is how large your area rug should be. The size you selected to too small and isn't the proper backdrop for the large scale furniture you have placed in the space.




    The white leather recliner is too large for the area. Seriously, you could get a smaller scale recliner that is just a comfy and not have it take up as much room.


    Also, in the space where the sofa ends and the recliner is placed you need a floor lamp for the room for general ambient light.

    The area in front of the sliders was meant to serve as a spot for a breakfast table.........

    If you only eat at the island, use the space for something else. What? Who knows, because posting a floor plan with dimensions would help, or draw and measure alllllll of this and post a drawing with dimensions.

    Not loving those two rugs together ( sorry ) and love the huge recliner even less: )But feet and inches inform everything and is better than a thousand guesses posted here.....( get a bracket for the tv and mount on the wall )

    That sounds like a versatile space with lots of potential. If you want something functional, a sleek console table or a small storage cabinet could work well under the air unit. If you're leaning more decorative, a statement plant or a gallery wall could add personality. A small drop-leaf table is a great option if you’d like a flexible seating area without taking up too much space. Since you already have a dining room, you could also consider a cozy reading nook or a stylish bar cart. Hope that helps!

    I'm starting by replacing the rug. Thoughts on colors? Grey? Off white?

    Which rug? You have two....

    I'm looking to get a larger one as suggested for in front of the TV and toss the others. Just not sure what color to go with... dark, neutral?

    How can we even inform a color you might like? No.not dark. The coffee table is dark. There is NO color in the entire space. .....you must like something? There is nothing other than SIZE wrong with the rug you have, IF you like it.!! But no, it doesn't work with blue.

    You never measured, we've no idea what you want to do with the area in front of the slider..! You want a feeling that is cohesive to both areas. so......? Find a rug you LOVE for the major sitting area, and do you know what size? Other than "bigger"

    That was a long response to tell me how awful I am at decorating and to not offer any advice. In the future, I would be less insulted if you just didn't respond, but thanks for your time???? 🤷‍♀️
