Help pull it all together, curtains wrong?

12 years ago
I love the individual pieces but seems like they aren't right together. Ant recommendations?

    Would the sofa work in front of the other window? Two chairs across from it?

    New rug looks great!

    Don't give up on yourself! I have one thought and it might not be helpful at all. Would the brown rolled cushions work on the couch and a contrast color on the two chairs? Your art is lovely, but I feel as if I am either looking at summer or fall, depending on where I am in the room. You have beautiful accessories that would be smashing in any other room as well.

    I'm totally wrong about the rolled cushions...ignore!
  • 12 years ago
    Lots of great advice, thanks I have applied what I could. I'm ok with the couch in front of the window but those who sit on it will look through the kitchen area and have the back door as a focal point. Lol the joy of small living spaces! I tried the chair pillows on the couch and all cream. Let me know what you all think. I'll post new pics when my curtains arrive this week- hope I didn't miss the mark on those too! I'm so thankful for your help everyone!

    The couch needs to be centered with the window. I am guessing you did not do that so the benches could still fit? I see a mirror by the door....love that! What about placing one bench under that mirror???

    Love the chairs away from the hutch......got rid of two layers of darkness by doing that. I would pull the chairs in a little tighter with the table as there is quite a bit of distance between the table and chairs right now. That will also help to angle them toward the couch by doing that, too.

    Coffee table with that bowl looks awesome. No console table anymore under that piece of art?
  • 12 years ago
    There is a floor vent that the couch would rest on if centered :(
    I agree and will pull the table and chairs in too!
  • 12 years ago
    If you pull the couch forward some, will it miss the floor vent?
  • 12 years ago
    With or without?
  • 12 years ago
    I moved it on top- should be ok. Thanks
  • 12 years ago
    I would love to see the console centered under the art, so it is right next to the couch, almost like a side table for it.

    OR put the round table from between the chairs at the end of the couch and the console under that other art and the chairs on either side of it, still with the chairs angled? Then maybe the lamp could still be on it for the chairs to use?
  • 12 years ago
    I can't really see the first pic in what you just posted.....lots of good sunlight today there.
  • 12 years ago
    Beech sweet, I love it! The bench under the mirror is practical for many reasons and balances well! Your guests will love not having an air conditioner blowing behind their ears. To balance out that window, expand the rod out past the window and have the drapes create he illusion of a wider window with panels. It can be accomplished. This is great and feels so welcoming.

    I was wondering if that first pic has the bench under the mirror.......yay!

    One of your first pics had those two ginger jars on the console.....I love those love those love those! Is there still room for them in here???
  • 12 years ago
    I would probably switch the 2 pieces of art...what is now on the wall in front of sofa?
  • 12 years ago
    would the two yellow pillows work on the chairs?
  • 12 years ago
    I think the console looks to big, so I tried the other bench with twigs in vase next yo it? Tacky? Or ok?
    You guys are awesome . My husband said I need to invite you over to help move furniture Lol!
  • 12 years ago
    agree with extending the draperies...
  • 12 years ago
    is the console now on the wall in front of sofa?
  • 12 years ago
    try the rolled pillows flush against the back of sofa too...LOL at hubby...mine would have given be some of those sliding things for under the feet and said go for it...
  • 12 years ago
    Pillows!
  • 12 years ago
    I like the yellow pillows...agree with abbyjean...need to bring those ginger jars with the yellow in them back in the room...they are really pretty!
  • 12 years ago
    Across from sofa on wall - there is no room there for table- walk way:(
  • 12 years ago
    Would you try it anyways...now that you don't have the 2 chairs on that end of the room...
  • 12 years ago
    Maybe? How did you know that? I'm impressed
  • 12 years ago
    I think the new arrangement looks much better. It's more open and the darkness is gone from the cabinet end of the room. I like the benches under the art and the mirror. Think you should lose the vase with the sticks altogether.

    Whatever you do, don't lose the art. It makes the room sing. Bring back the two teal pillows to echo the colors in the art.
  • 12 years ago
    That little console is too small for that wall. Send it someplace else to live for now. (Not in this room.) ;-)
  • 12 years ago
    OK...here's the next thing...lighting...would the small end table that you had in one of the first pics fit where the floor lamp is now with a lamp? it might be to crowded...then move the floor lamp near the chairs...
  • 12 years ago
    grover...would the console work better if the tall art was over it? and maybe stack these two where the tall art piece is now?
  • 12 years ago
    I notice that one side is dark and the other side looks bright, would you consider moving the chairs to the opposite side where you have the couch now. And place the couch in front of the cabinet.

    I love the idea of keeping the console across from the couch with that canvas that is sooo perfect with it. Decide where the table goes and promise me you would mount it at the same distance.

    Then, yes, stack those two pics over the bench you moved there. Thing is, measure first, as it cannot be higher than the window, of course. And the distance between them should be the same as one frame. Ready to do your math?

    Love the idea of extending the curtains when they come, but only on the smaller window and not the front one. The mirror is too perfect there and the art is, too.

    The square art is perfect for the long wall, the tall art is perfect for the corner. The two square pieces are too large to be stacked. Just lose the console. It'll help in the goal of simplifying the room.
  • 12 years ago
    So I need to get rid of the twigs in the corner any ideas ?The corner needs something I think.
  • 12 years ago
    I think the corner will be fine without the twigs there. Let the art sing alone, as grover would say.
  • 12 years ago
    PROMISE you will post when the new drapes arrive.
  • 12 years ago
    Of course I will! - post pics with the drapes! Thanks again may sound crazy but I was quite sad about this and I feel the room is much improved thanks to the Houzz team! The corner looks a little empty without something - unless someone has a wise idea I'll just let the song play a bit and see what happens!

    Curtains, rug plus console! I still need blinds but the room is coming together after taking much of your advice. Please let me know what you think. The small round table between the chairs seems wrong still but we can live with it I guess. Thank you, it is much improved
  • 12 years ago
    Few more pics
  • 12 years ago
    congratulations! it looks great!

    It truly does look AWESOME! You have worked soooo hard and it shows! COMFY COZY to a tea!!!

    I might take the pillows off the benches and maybe drape the throw across a side of the couch instead of folding it. I like the round table and think it fits the room and the chairs.....you may just need to pull the chairs in a little closer to it.

    ENJOY YOUR HOME! No more feeling sad in this room!!!
