Thank you for your suggestions everyone. I am going to layer it with another solid rug and use it in the living room. My living room neds a bit of colour and I thought this would be perfect. Breaks my heart to think that I may have to put it elsewhere.

I would get a coffee table similiar to the one in your other room. This area is small so I think a glass top for this room would be best. Try a round table with a pedestal. That would give you more leg room. Because all the cushions and the drapes have a pattern I think you should choose a rug with no pattern. A solid light gray would look nice. To contrast all of the smooth textures of the red upholstery and the dining chair's cushion, pick something with a high pile. Very soft! Change out the pillows on the sofas to a soft gray on gray pattern.

Tsilanko, I would always recommend professional installation where needed. But what I am doing here is suggesting that WHEN you are planning to build or renovate, to consider how your plans will affect you in 20 or 30 years time. Split levels are very hep when you are young. A kitchen 3 steps down at 30 is rarely a problem, but might be a hazard at 60, or, as Marjie1059 suggested, if you break a leg. ... All my parents' homes were terrible for old people. They were forced to move to a bungalow in extreme old sge because the location and design of their home was more suitable for an active young couple with a large family than for an elderly couple with stroke disabilities. I would not want to move again, so my present home has features built in that make ageing in place simpler. Mostly small changes, like grab rails, and lever handles on doors and faucets. A major disability suddenly suffered requires major changes if permanent. I did look at this because it came up in the discussion, but if you look at the heading, Planning for Disability, it means just that. Plan ahead so you don't have to make expensive changes later on. But thank you for your advice, yes, major changes are not in the DIY domain.

Wardrobes play an important role in your home. Whether these are in your living room, dining, bedroom, or kitchen, they provide valuable storage options. However, who said that such wardrobes must be boring or plain? There are numerous ways to make these storage units spectacular or well-designed. The options for laminates are numerous and this provides a wide range of options for designers and homeowners.
