Thank you! ## Community Q&A **Q: Virgin to painting seeks advice....** *(in Design Dilemma)* Ok...so we bought this house. Downstairs, I pretty much have nailed... Upstairs is another matter entirely...two rooms are in DIRE need of paint. They were children's rooms, and one is BRIGHT pink, and the other purple. Both rooms have truly horrid periwinkle-ish ceilings, and a relocation beige wall to wall carpet that I just cannot rip out right now... You can see from the photos, that the existing colors are so strong that they reflect pink and purple hues onto everything in the rooms...even my cat! A: So, is this beautiful rug for one room or do you have a pair of them? In any case, the colors in this rug are beautiful and could be used as a guide for both bedrooms. Wish I could crop out the purple in this pix - but, oh, well! The lightest cream/white in the rug for the ceilings and a lighter version of the blues for one and the corals for the other room. The sage is an "older" color and not as cheerful for a child's room as the other hues. You could paint 3 walls + ceiling the cream and the 4th wall one of the softer colors found in the rug. Do not know what ages the kids are or what their tastes are, of course, so these suggestions are a guess. A simple striped wallpaper or a painted treatment for this one contrasting wall would be fun. An easy treatment for a stripe of any width is to use the same color to make stripes but different finishes - a flat next to high gloss, and repeat across the wall. This is an interesting treatment that gives the wall some interest without looking like a circus tent - or like the dreaded "you are trying too hard" look. Kids' rooms should be fun, interesting and yet have a subtle energy about them. **Q: Please help me with this dining room!** *(in Design Dilemma)* I recently made some changes to my dining room. I was trying to create an updated space . I painted the walls light grey, painted my buffet a metallic platinum color, and got a new table and chairs. I feel like the room is just not turning out how I wanted. Does anyone have advice on what is wrong or things you would change? Thank you so much! A: I will get the hang of the new way to post stuff - sooner than later! Here are a couple more things to consider. 'You can get prints framed in other materials, or unframed too. Or . . . High contrast b/w photo . . A b/w pottery bowl, vase, charger on the table. No doily. For a centerpiece on the table . . . Go as far outside your sensibility as you can . . push it here . . be fearless. This is a great spot to change out often and in the process, change the whole feel of the room. Maybe take advantage of all of the natural light coming in and choose colored glass \[do not worry too much about what color the glass piece is or has in it\] . Maybe an antique vase. Maybe an ethnic or tribal piece. Show us some personality! **Q: Furniture placement** *(in Design Dilemma)* This room is only 19 x 12 and with the corner fireplace and all of the openings I have never known how to place furniture. My husband has to have a recliner for tv watching and with 5 Grandchildren this room is used. Looking to buy some new furniture. A: Reclining loveseat from La-Z- Boy Below, a good looking, slimmed down recliner from La-Z-Boy that is up on legs, helping to lighten up the overstuffed and heavy look. Many covering choices. This brand is a great value for the money. A lighter color upholstery would also help to expand the look of the space. Do not fret about kids and this lighter color. All fabrics can be treated for easy care! and leather is just plain tough! **Q: Living room! Awkward room shape** *(in Design Dilemma)* We have a very strange living room space. We are open to new furniture but want to use some if possible. Need ideas on furniture placement. Rug is being moved to another room and need window treatments. A: This space is a challenge because of the angles - but it is also an interesting area. The TV wall: Add bookcases to each side of your TV cabinet. Then, to make the grouping more cohesive, turn the rug 90 deg. so that the longest edge of it is parallel with the TV cabinet/bookcases. Place the sofa along this shorter end with another \[new\] sofa opposite the current sofa. Front feet up on the rug. Add a large coctail table and end table\[s\]. A pair of fun cubes could be placed at the end of the cocktail between the FP and TV as part of this setting. They would be low enough to keep the view of the fire in the FP open. Now, we understand that this part of the room is for viewing TV - it's a group. Or a small armless chair with a low back could be added to this group opposite the TV, at the end of the sofa that is in front of the windows. Console table behind the "new" sofa would finish off the back of this sofa. Maybe you could work in the trio of pots you have by the windows? The fireplace and mantle need to be edited so that it stands on its own but is connected visually with the TV group. You can achieve this through artwork \[not a mirror\] and carefully chosen accessories on the mantle and hearth . It would be great to keep the sight line from the TV setting open to the fireplace. The angled wall could be worked into a sitting/reading area by organizing 2 arm chairs in a patterned upholstery and a table. Hang a pair of art pieces on each wall, over the chairs. A great lamp on the table, books, pots,, etc., and maybe a large plant or narrow tree in a beautiful pot. The scale of the pieces on this wall needs to match the scale of the pieces on the other 2 walls \[FP & TV\]. The leather chair 1/2 and ottoman might work on the angled wall also. Have you tried them over there? Would it be possible to put the chair and ottoman on that wall but play with the placement of them to keep traffic lanes open. Everything color-wise as well as stylistically, depends upon which rug you end up with. The small barrel chair would be on hold for the moment! **Q: What to do please help! Small budget for our first home so any suggest** *(in Design Dilemma)* Not sure what to do with my small 1/2 bathroom A: Congrats on your first home! You can do a few things that will update and freshen up this 1/2 bath without breaking the bank. The biggest challenge is the tile on the wall. Either take it all down or add to it so that this wall is unified. This is a DIY project and matching tile is out there if you choose to go corner to corner with the tile. If you keep the tile, add a tile border at the top line, corner to corner, to add color and interest. If you take it down, repair the sheetrock and paint the entire wall one light color. The current wall color is nice with the floor, so you can leave that as is. You could also wallpaper the fixture wall. This is a great place to be fearless, surprising and dramatic since it is out of the way from other rooms. Experimenting on a small budget in rooms this size will tell you a lot about what your style truly is. It is hard to recommend more since we don't have pics of the space just outside the door of this 1/2 bath. **Q: Family room remodel** *(in Design Dilemma)* Need new window treatments for our TV room not just for looks but privacy as well. Because furniture sits right under; it's difficult to reach them. What can I put up that requires least amount of "fussing"? A: Have you thought about remote controlled blinds? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-10.*
