Living Room

Current Living Room Layout... How would you manipulate the furniture, what would you add in or take away to make it more cozy and inviting?

    You've got a lot of warm tones going on...I'd like to see some navy introduced through throw pillows and something to replace the map picture.

    Your draperies are hung too low. The need to be raised to at least 8 inches above the top of the windows. I like the clean lines of your room. Would just get a more colorful piece of artwork over your sofa.

    A more colourful floor rug and some plants might be nice.

    The first thing that I see is that everything in the room is square. Soften the hard edges.

    Pattern on the curtains, and a diff rug. I like the map. Def get some throw pillows and a couple end tables with lamps to make it cozier. Also maybe a plant to bring some life and green into the room?

    Keitha's ideas and patterns are nice but I would stay away from those colors shown- the blue artwork adds needed color- what colors do you like besides the beige and browns?

    Table should have sofas opposite each other. Pattern of rug at war with the floor and seems too small. Change pillows to more contemporary print with graphic design like Keitha suggested. Something in bronze metal looking side tables would be interesting along with plants both tall and small, Really needs green.

    When I look at the photo my first thought is needs some white. A touch of white makes colours pop instead of looking drab. I love the white in the art posted above.

    Is there a way to move the couch in front of the window opposite of where it is now and let that window be open? OR can the two couches face each other, with one staying on the wall?

    The problem is everything in the room is the same color. Not even just the same hue, but the same value and intensity. I changed your drapes, your rug, replaced the sheers with a dark bamboo blind, and the orange was still overpowering. I painted the walls; it was still too warm. I tried blue and brown and teal. Finally I changed the art. Much as I like the map on the wall, it is exactly the same color as your sofas.

    Here's where your room ended up after much experimentation. It's still not right--I'd probably get an espresso-colored coffee table and play with some cooler colors--but it's not so relentlessly orange.

    That was a LOT of work for you grover! I agree with you that even monochromatic needs different shades and textures for a great look.

    Add in a third colour on the other side of he colourwheel ; from the cool spectrum, same strength.
