Could you post a picture of the blueprint/layout to get measurements?

Hi, I think your new house has tons of potential. Can you tell me a little about your style? Traditional, contemporary, transitional...child friendly for sure, any other considerations? Be more than happy to help if I can!

Can I humbly suggest you put your savings on "pause" until you've decided exactly what you want to achieve? This looks like a beautiful (new?) interior and your choices are endless. I too live in a house where one area flows to another without walls, and I struggled just to find the right place for the dining suite, as there were 3 places it could go!
Personally I like this kind of simplicity where you invest in good, neutral, comfortable furniture and put in pops of colour with your accessories.

Start with one inspiration fabric - ideally a print that you really like to be your color story inspiration. That is a good place to discover what colors you want to live with. The color fabric might only be for a pillow, or an accent chair . . . once you have that, you can easier select neutral tones for upholstery that work well in that direction. Or you can start with a great patterned rug - choose one like you would choose a piece of art that you can live with all your life.
The tones you have on the walls now are a greige and some of the paint in the kitchen area and foreground has golden undertones - perhaps dijon is one of the tones you would like to incorporate. Dijon tones go well with straight blues and grays, but they also go well with olive / drabs and the greens can be great with oranges and reds or also with aquas . . .

I would paint the walls a grey blue. Add in some dark brown curtains. Then hang some black and white family pictures on a focal wall. On the floor add an area rug that has a geometric pattern to it.

For a couch do a casual sectional in a brown to compliment the curtains accent the couch with some playful throw pillow using yellow as a accent color

Recommend to change the fan, other thing choose color during the day.also play with the 4 lights , Good wishes to your design I hope you post more pictures how was done,

Break it down into areas, and determine where outlets/ cable connections are, etc. As a designer I always start with drawing a floor plan, that way you can plan what furniture to purchase. In general terms, to get to a functional state you need:

Breakfast Table (Round, Square? ) with 4 Chairs, needs new pendant
It looks like you could fit 5 Counter Stools/ Chairs at The Island, needs new lighting
Dining Table with 6 Chairs, or 2 Benches, 2 Large End Chairs, Maybe Mirror or Art, and a Console, if there is room, rug, new lighting?
For the Living Room, either a Large Sectional, 2 Chairs, or Two Sofas, 2 Chairs, Soft Ottoman, Large Rug
End Tables, Lamps, TV Console/ Entertainment Unit.
Window Treatments for all rooms.

You can see how quickly the things start adding up. Hiring a designer to keep you on track and under budget and from feeling overwhelmed is a good investment.

Greetings,

Can you attach a floor plan of your main living areas that I can work with to help you with space planning, furniture selection, etc.? I can render something up for you to visualize with some decor and furniture suggestions.

I hope to hear from you- I look forward to it!

Dima,
Congratulations, this looks like a lovely home. I always suggest that homeowners work with a designer. It may be a larger up front cost but it will definitely save you money down the road and help you to make better decisions on your own. Building a furniture floor plan is always the best way to ensure that you purchase furniture that is the correct scale for your home and find the best flow for the space. Apart from that, there are a couple of other items that I would give special attention. Firstly, I would invest in upgrading the lighting fixtures. This includes both your recessed and decorative fixtures. Lighting is often forgotten and not given the budget or attention that it deserves. Lighting fixtures can transform a space. Secondly, I would establish the color palette that you feel most comfortable with. Color greatly affects our mood and you want to make sure that you have the color scheme that makes you feel at ease and happy, not just what someone recommends to you.

I hope that you find this helpful.

Best,
Jessica Mowery.

On the topic of durable textile options to withstand children and pets I'm a big advocate of polyester and poly blend fabrics on your furniture, there are some beautiful options out there these days and many of them are nearly indistinguishable from their natural fiber counter parts. If you just have to go with a natural fiber then the tighter the weave is, the better, as it will resist deep staining and picking. For rugs, if its in the budget then wool is the gold standard as these can be professionally cleaned and will last forever. If its not in the budget then indoor/outdoor rugs are a great alternative and are super affordable. Whatever textiles options you go with, its always a great idea to have everything professionally stain guarded ()particularly since most companies warranty the fabric for at least ten years in the event of a disaster).
Good luck,
