Need help finishing this room.

12 years ago
We just bought new furniture for our family room and I really don't know where to go from here. I need to add curtains, accent pieces and pictures. Any suggestions welcomed:)

    Since your room is very monochromatic, I'd put up a panoramic picture of something bright that you love about your couch. Then I'd add a few small personal items like family photos on the mantle. Other than that, I think it looks fine.

    You have a matchy look going. Mix pillows with a color like yellow and gray. Accessories go yellow tall pots mix with black for mantel. Over firepl a art piece rather than mirror. Go tall 4 ft hang vertically. Bold colors. On windows keep it simple go wall color but 2 shades darker. On ends only. Take to ceiling. On window you could put a black bamboo shade for interested.

    Try mirror. Over other sofa on big wall. Don't a lamps remove to another room and get a tall lamp in stainless dark gray shade or black.

    Use black rods for panels. On smaller side windows just add the bamboo shades.

    Remove small items on floor on hearth. Not needed. The chairs look out of place. Can we see room taken from big windows. Might be another way to go. Like placing sofas across from each other. Keep the one under window move other across looking at windows. The two chairs put on wall where other sofa was adda. Table with lamp, between them. Coffee table in front of sofas.

    Looks good to me! Do you need curtains for warmth? Because the windows are fine without. Leave the walls empty until you find some art that you really love.

    Is that a TV on back wall?

    I think you need to address the "furniture show room" look by adding some color. Yellow stationary drapery panels hanging to flank each window, larger, more substantial lamps with some "wow" factor, a gorgeous painting over the sofa and above the FP. Add a pillow or two in your accent color and a nice soft throw. When you're ready, change out the standard blinds for fabric or fiber roman shades, and add a spot of color and pattern with a large area rug.

    Looking at pix#4, what is to the right of the sofa? I ask because I do not like to see the love seat in front of those pretty windows.

    Can the love seat go next to the couch facing the window and then the chairs at the window with the end table between? Put the printed chair by the fireplace end of the windows so you have the three dark pieces closer together and then the printed one becomes the accent chair.

    I think you have way too many pillows in the same print. I would take one that matches the printed chair and put it on that chair. Then I would look for some new fabrics to recover the others. Save the two striped and mix them up with other prints.

    There are two entrances to this room. Putting the sofa where the love seat is would leave very little room to enter. Yes, there's a flat screen tv on the wall opposite the love seat. Planning on adding color, but just don't know what color is best. The furniture is gray and black so I know that I can pretty much choose any color. The mirror above the fireplace is too small to put on the wall where the couch is.

    Can you put the TV over the fireplace? Then move the small couch to the TV wall, and put the chairs in front of the window.

    Also, with the room being full, be very selective about the accessories -- fewer the better.
