Living room decor help needed !!

last year

Hi All,

I need some help deciding the decor color schemes for my newly furnished living room.I don't want to repaint the room. I want a warm and cohesive look if possible. Any color works for me as long as it goes with the current setup. Please help me with below questions.

1) I need to replace the existing 4 seater dining table with another 4 seater wooden dining table set. Should I go with rectangle or circle dining table? The family dining area is rectangle in shape.

2) I need to place a table lamp on the sofa side table. Please recommend the colors/style for the table lamp that goes with the existing setup.

3) What color throw pillows should I add to the sofa. My rug has lots of colors as shown in the picture. Which sizes/colors of throw pillows would work best in this setup?

4) What color curtains would work in the living room

Any other ideas to decorate the room. Any pictures would be helpful too.

Thank you so much.

Initial thoughts...

Try moving the two upholstered benches forward to be part of the seating arrangement either partially or fully on the carpet.

Get a counter height table and chairs to see the TV over those seated on the sofa, rectangular holds placemats and serving trays better.

Rectangle vs. Circle

Choose: RECTANGLE

Your dining area is rectangular, and a rectangle table will better align with the space and wall/window layout.

Check out Ashley dining sets. I like not flimsy ones.

Bring any color from your rug for throw pillows, drapes and wall art.

Beautiful and the dining set ties in the furniture color.

We might suggest trying a rectangle table, adding some beige/blue curtains, a rug under the dining room table, and lots of artwork to the space. Below are two images from a design we did for a client which might help you more.

Sometimes the thing that works best in a room is actually placing the items in the best locations. See the plan below.

Make sure that area rug is CENTERED ON THE WINDOWS.

Make sure the TV and console is centered on the wall in the distance between the doorway and the windows.

Don't position the loveseat past the edge of the door frame as indicated in the plan below.

Your artificial trees are too short for the room, but you can boost their height up if you select a taller planter to place them in.

I'd select a wall mounted cabinet for under the TV.

Your TV is too small for the room. The larger screen TV are quite inexpensive currently but their prices are going to skyrocket as soon as the tariffs hit. I'd buy an 85" screen NOW.

Here are a few suggestions to give your room a finishing touch not only for the dining table which could be either round or rectangular depending of the size of the area which I don't have. Bring the 2 benches forward on the edge of the rug, bring the plant forward more away from the corner, bamboo roman shades and curtains, a square coffee table, a more prominent chandelier, etc...

Get a great runner in one of the rug colors to create a pathway into the open space while separating the dining from living spaces.

Bev's gold/burnt orange curtains and a large art work pulled from rug colors will bring warmth to the room. A rectangular or long oval dining table with eventual uphostered chairs would be a great start. Consider a a freestanding dining sofa/bench for the dining wall side with 2-4 comfortable chairs that can be pulled into living room area when you have a lot of guests.
