Need help with my living room
Comments (138)Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you....See MoreOur living room

Comments (12)Hi Neetu, Thanks for sending in the sketch. Its is really helpful. A lot many things are already in place as per vaastu such as the east facing entry, orientation of the beds, east facing pooja, east facing kitchen ota etc. However, the following things can be worked upon - - A lot of space has been lost due to the staircase. However, lets work around it. - The pooja cannot share a wall with the toilet. It has to be relocated. - The master bedroom needs to be in the south west corner of the house. - The kitchen should be either in the north west corner or the south east corner. Some questions that we have are - - Is this a part of a flat scheme or an individual bungalow? (Looks like a bungalow from the drawing but still) - Is this only a ground floor house? If not what is there on the upper floor? - How many bedrooms are actually needed? It would be great if you could answer these questions. Maybe we would be able to assist you better. Thank you. Regards, RnD Atelier....See MoreNeed advice on kitchen design
Comments (19)Going with professional has its own advantages. Afterall he is pro, so he has studied more and has more experience. However is this person from the kitchen shoppee, which is giving you quotation of kitchen installation? In such cases, I have experienced that they just make boxy kitchens where they add lotsa fittings, that increases your budget. Open shelves does not need such fittings, so such are omitted...Normal door wali cabinets are less and number of drawers increased. Going on own is not a bad idea, provided you need to study it well. Note down the requirements, classify work areas and so on... In this approach , you have to go bit slower and carefully. Allow some flexibility in design, so that in future , you can alter as per the need. Sometimes we come to know the problems after few months/ years and we cant change it later. Ultimately compare between [your time+ efforts+ study+ error chances] Vs Hiring professional and go ahead accordingly....See Moretamp75

8 years agoHi Jenny,
From the above comments I think you'll know to remove the chair so I won't repeat it but if you are looking for a mirror or some large wall art to put above your beautiful console have a look at our collection here. We have lots of options like this very popular one:
Available here.
One thing I would add is that looking at your chair and console they feel quite modern while the baskets on the lower shelf seem a bit more rustic. You could jazz them up by looking at some of the (many) tutorials on Pinterest.
Hope that helps!

8 years ago(a) Remove chair - it looks squashed and will become a dumping ground.
(b) Centralise the table and replace baskets perhaps with collection of different sized, colour co-ordinated glass bottles
(c) Add a tall table lamp.
(d) Add a vase of flowers or perhaps a globe
(e) Hang a feature clock, some family photos or those of local places of interest

8 years agoHi Jenny. Why not keep it simple to go with the table so something like this but maybe a simple scandi fern print or something rather than just the frame.
cox and cox have a number of vases that would suit plus faux stems or try oka, Neptune or Abigail ahern for the stems but would keep them simple. I'd try and marry the other objects in some way ie colour, style, material, shape etc. I also have a chair on my landing and I have to say it does get used! Hopefully you have another spare corner.
