I've inherited this house and started some renovation work. My problem is how to decorate the living cum dining area. The colour palette in my mind is beige and orange as The highlight. On wall 1 I would like to put the tv. But I don't how how to arrange my chairs and sofa and the dining table which we r yet to buy. The 4th wall shows the kitchen door. This room will be mainly used as a family room and to entertain very close friends. As we have a formal sitting area downstairs. Please help me with your valuable suggestions. The pictures from the Houzz are for reference . However I'm unable to upload any more pictures from my gallery. Sorry for that .

I'm not qualified to advise you on textured paint, but as far as colour is concerned, surprisingly, red can work with a very wide range of colours. I suggest you click http://www.houzz.com/photos/query/red-sofas/nqrwns and browse to look for possibilities. A lot depends on what else you want to have in the room and whether, for instance, you're looking for a dramatic effect or a warm effect. Have fun browsing.

Namaste mitra, You could add a neutral colour like dusty pink which would be a mid colour joining the two adjacent wall colours to give it a wholesome feel.

Better to opt for L-shape sofa for the above position.. Bedroom appears to have occupied more space than living room. If it's already finished,. you may have to opt for compact furniture,.. Or reduce the size of bedroom first; then proper living/dining arrangements can be done.
