Why do I feel my living room is too orange?

10 years ago

I'll take any advice, I'm challenged in this...I don't know if I should change the couches, the paint color or the tables or all!

Changing the light bulbs could help, the ones you have seem to only add to the orange glow.

Get rid of those heavy drapes. Simplicity for window coverings is "in" now. Paint the ceiling a white-white to brighten the room. Change the accent pillows on the couches to solid colors, picking 2 different colors that compliment each other and the couch, Definitely buy a bigger table lamp with a much bigger shade. Everything else about your room is great.

The window valances are fine...they are just hung to low...hang them up to the ceiling line and you won't believe the difference. I like the feeling of the room...but if you are to change anything...just paint a different color. How about a warm tan...
