Hey all! Looking for ideas for this room. What I've done is very blah! The wall on the right is hard to figure out what will look good in it. Any ideas??!

Put a pair of draperies on the two windows behind the sofa. Use one rod:

Above the other sofa, hang kjg’s art suggestion.

Add throw pillows:

Remove rug from under the two tables and paint the table in a chalk paint.

Definitely remove the area rug….no rug needed.

Hi John,

You mentioned vacation rental, is there any attraction near by? Most of the beach rentals I stay in have somewhat of a beach theme and you could hang a surfboard, beach picture or large oars on the wall. Same idea if its close to skiing, a river, etc...

Otherwise you might consider some larger scale art to take up more wall space. I have used minted.com to get unique art (already framed) at a reasonable price point.

I would suggest a longer larger piece of artwork with some color in it.

I like second plan! That space will fit the wardrobe perfectly. Take all colors from the art. The colors can be lighter or darker than the colors you see in art. Take "Venice" with you to paint store and they might be able to help you choose good colors. Idea: paint four walls the same and see if you like that. If you feel the room lacks interest, then paint the accent wall. Choose a pale green that harmonizes with "Venice" and a darker green accent. Yellow + red accent White + blue accent

Dear Crazyjunglite, please let me add some ideas for your space. I beleive that a nice combination of two curtains like the one with the blue and peach double curtains in the picture, will give you an eclectic feeling that matches to your painting. The combination of colors that I suggest is this blue with brown flares and the cream-peach taffetas, and the soft cream sheer behind. It will join all the rest beautiful items suggested by now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/163787105/blue-curtain-polyester-fabric-122-inches?ref=shop_home_active https://www.etsy.com/listing/163785041/light-yellow-beige-curtain-polyester?ref=related-6 https://www.etsy.com/listing/167660815/35-discount-for-one-pair-of-two-beige?ref=listing-shop-header-1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/167363693/ecru-sheer-curtains-fabric-118-inches?ref=shop_home_active

Upholstery and egg crate type foams will not be rigid, and may not be flame retardant. EPS and XPS construction insulation foam are lighter weight, more rigid, and could be covered with batting and fabric. They come in 4'x8' sheets, but can be cut with a utility knife into smaller sizes. They are available from a big box home improvement store like HD or Lowes. Not sure if they are flame retardant. Depending on how large a piece you are mounting, I would think they may be light enough in weight that they could be mounted to the wall with 3M removeable hangers of some sort.

Hey, we have a solution to your question. We have kept in mind the furniture that you mentioned and is visible in the pictures posted. 1. We suggest a L shaped sofa (that you plan to buy from Urban Ladder) to be placed right in front of the entrance. You can use your wooden chairs along with it next to a coffee table in the middle. 2. You can keep your writing desk next to entrance as it is almost the same width. 3. We suggest you keep dining table in the centre of the room, as it will closer to kitchen in that place. 4. We suggest that you create a half partition using your own furniture in the other end of the room. You can place your white book shelf (books facing the wall) in the middle and tall white cabinet in front of it making a T shape as shown in the picture. 5. You should mount TV on wall to save space and beside the book shelf have a backless sitting for TV 6. Behind the book shelf you can have a floor sitting for your Tabla practice and book reading. 7. We recommend you put some indoor plants next to your L shaped sofa and a small floor candle stand or showpiece in front of kitchen wall.

Sigh....this is what happens when architects and engineers don't talk to designers before building. That huge vent is so awkwardly placed and makes decorating tough. In an attempt to embrace it, consider a gallery wall with frames of difference shapes and sizes, but the same color. I'd probably pick a darker frame. Frame around the vent, too, so it fits in with the other frames and it doesn't seem so out of place. Geometric/patterned artwork in the other frames can make it stick out even less.

Is this the "man cave" of the rental? I've managed vacation rentals for 15 years, and I don't see anything indicating that this is a home for fun and relaxation. It looks like it was put together with cast off furnishings and just a pair of typical box store sofas. The French style end tables masquerading as a coffee table are a big fail. Better bare walls and the right kind of coffee table if budget is holding you back! Empty the walls and room of everything except the sofas, which I assume you can't replace. Then go on VRBO and search for vacation rental properties in your area, or that are located in a similar spot for activities. Find some pix of rentals you admire and aspire to and copy them. No fake plants, please, and no "stand-in" furniture trying to be something it isn't. Craigs List can help you get rid of some and find replacements.

What deco said. And NOTHING expensive! Nice things WILL disappear! We stay in vacation rentals often, and what we want is CLEAN, with everything working as it should. Comfortable seating and beds, a place to sit and have breakfast. Decorative stuff, not so much.

Hello John,

You need a sizeable, colorful piece of art above the sofa. Tie the colors in the art to pillows and other accessories. Remove the tables between the sofas and place them on the end of the sofas with lamps for a place to set a book, drinks etc. and read.

A pair of chairs in front of the window would have been a better choice, especially in a narrow room.
