living room

12 years ago
we bought two accent chairs for our living room, that already had a beige suede love seat and a rust ottoman ,, we have dark table + dining room set. I am at a loss as to how to coordinate the colours since the pink is so different from the rust/beige scheme I had before but we cant return them now. I made new cushion covers but am not sure if they look nice or tacky.. any help is much appreciated..
please note we host a lot of dinners and I need as much seating as possible

    Is it possible to take a larger pic of your room? I like the chairs a lot and think they are great with the love seat. BUT part of me wonders if they should switch places???? And I would like the coffee table in front of the love seat maybe??? If the love seat stays, lower the art behind it to 6-8 inches and you will like that a lot. The little table in front of the window should be close to the love seat with maybe a lamp on it. Group the candles closer together ON the coffee table.

    Don't worry about every color being an exact match with everything else in a room. The colors don't appear to clash on my monitor, in fact, I think all the shade of pink and red work welll together.

    Here are some ways to brighten the room and work with your pink chairs:

    --Move down art as suggested by at least 6"
    --Replace curtains and swag with ceiling to floor drapes in white, pink, tan. See below. I just pulled this up from Etsy by Google white, pink, tan curtains: http://www.etsy.com/listing/167726551/2-x-custom-made-french-country-stripe?ref=market

    --Move the little table from the window to between the pink chairs.
    --Down the road, get a rug with a light tan background with a touch of pink in a subtle pattern. The rug should be much bigger than the one you have, so that the chair legs of couch and chairs rest on the rug.
    --Possible get a glass coffee table. In any case the coffee table should be in front of the couch.

    Ooops. Meant to add this photo of baby blue, tan, pink curtains from Etsy that would complement your pink chairs.

    -- It is a little difficult to get a handle on this space because the shots are close-ups. Could you please take a few from further back? Thanks -

    The color scheme you have going now is pretty so do not worry about things going together. You do need a larger rug that has a touch of the coral and rust in it. This will be the glue that holds the furniture pieces together and defines the conversation group. Also, it would give your room some depth if the rug had some dark color in it - not to mention possibly another color you can add as an accent.

    I cannot see your artwork in you pix, so can you post a picture of your pictures too? Thanks!

    OK! I just found your artwork and, truthfully, it is hung too high. Should feel grouped with the sofa so you need to lower it to about 6" above the back of the sofa.

    The arrangement in this pix is still a scattered orientation. A bigger rug [ at least 5'x 7'] will solve that as the pieces are placed around it. The arrangement of the furniture will show you where the painting and any other wall pieces should go.

    The window wall looks like it forms a non-90 degree angle with the walls. Is the room an unusual shape? If so, you do not have to place every piece of furniture against a wall. Something will be floating in the room, but the rug will square things up. Also, a darker rug will give the space more definition and help the mind's eye make more sense of the arrangement.

    Have you tried an arrangement of your furniture with your new chairs placed, directly (not at an angle to each other, but side, by side) across from and facing your loveseat?
    If the room is large enough, maybe the accent table currently shown with candlesticks could be placed between your new chairs.
    Best to you.
