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.

Keya, glad you decided to take the one reader's idea about moving the armoires in front of windows that you don't need and giving the bed a wall of its own! And, yes, you can have Roman shades on one wall and layered drapes on the other. When I had drapes made for my tall sitting room windows/doors, I had them use the same fabric for the Roman shades for the smaller windows on the other wall. For me personally, in these older Indian homes with all the odd nooks and niches in the walls, perhaps it would be more soothing to have a light/med tone paint on the walls that blends with the drapes/blinds for an 'uninterrupted' look, and I would use the same color on ceiling and beams. (but that is just my thought) I would start the process with a large carpet with your favorite colors, then choose your Bedcover & cushions, then your wall paint and fabric for drapes/blinds ..Not certain what style you like, but if you really like a particular Ethnic bedcover fabric, you can always have them stitched into curtains or Roman shades too. Can't wait to see the "After" pics!

@corner Stone designs. sorry if I had given an impression it mud slinging. but objectively speaking the suggestion to go for a chimney just because someone asked for it instead of addressing the real issue us not what I intended to do. one has to understand all the negatives as well veggie going in for a decision . just like you have the right to suggest there is nothing wrong in pointing out the issues in the proposed solution. none of us are internet warriors but most of us are "sold" items that we will never need in our life by creating an illusion. I know that dinner call it business but I am not in such one and I have the luxury to call a spade a spade. Even now the person who asked for is not sure in what they want but they think that a chimney will solve the issue. engineering doesn't work that way. unless we know what the real issue us, which isn't clear if it is the smoke or the smell and the your of food cooked, the frequency, the 80/20 utility of the kitchen we are not even close to understanding the problem. my intent is to emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and then look for issue and not provide a ready made solution. we can all suggest something by seeing a picture that fire will come and catch the chef if it is located in the window but do you think that what you say is practical. you may construct this as much slinging be as a novice I have a genuine question. how many houses have such a fire accident. we don't even know if the stove is electric or gas. if it is electric then they just no question of fire. so I encourage you to objectively approach and not see this as a mud slinging thing as that's not the point.

HOME DESIGNING Menu A Two-Story Home with a Sleek Grey Color Palette Save Tumblr Not every home has a unifying color theme, but without one it can be easy for a house to feel disjointed or erratic. A color palette can unify a home's design so that it flows easily from one room to another, but that does not mean that each room has to be decorated in exactly the same colors. In this house, for instance, grey creates a throughline within the home but does not overwhelm the design. Instead, it creates a foundation for each room so that the overall look is comforting and harmonious -- without being too "matchy-matchy." Take a look inside this home from visualizer Andrei Lychkouski to see what we mean. 1 |The main, open living space itself is the room that takes the gray theme to the extreme. 2 |From an oversized dark gray section to clear gray lucite dining chairs and texture gray walls, this is the center of the home’s color story. ADVERTISEMENT 3 |The colors that are dotted throughout the space draw the eye but are still subtle, and largely live within the neutral family from green to teal to warm brown. 4 |The high ceiling creates a dramatic feel for an otherwise fairly conservative design. 5 |A few creative elements do stand out, including the glass coffee table. 6 |When light gray is used in conjunction with white, a space can feel much more open without the blinding effects of white on white. 7 |Gray furnishings show the commitment to the palette, such as this freestanding dresser. 8 |The stairs in this home also act as an important design element. ADVERTISEMENT 9 |White wood steps are suspended in air, making their way to the second floor with the bright green accent wall behind them. 10 |But staying downstairs for a moment, the kitchen and breakfast bar keep with the gray theming. 11 |Dark gray stools, light gray countertops, and a narrow window make this kitchen feel particularly cozy. 12 |In the dining area, open to the kitchen, a smattering of pendant lights add a bit of interest as well. 13 |The kitchen itself is not particularly spacious, but the use of natural light and a bar/island mean there is room to do the work required for cooking. 14 |A small strip of grass grows along the windowsill for another pop of color. 15 |Upstairs, gray gives way to black for the second floor railings. 16 |Propeller-inspired light fixtures are both playful and unique. 17 |Large picture windows let in plenty of light during the day but must be kept closed in the dead of winter. 18 |The mater bedroom also tends towards darker grays and blacks. 19 |A wood slat accent wall is darker while the cushioned headboard is a lighter shade of gray. 20 |Color is brought in with creative art pieces. 21 |Gray linens and black light fixtures give this bedroom decor a bit of an edge. 22 |In a house with no separate home office space, its important that this desk is included somewhere — and there was no room in the living area. 23 |Moving into one of the two children’s rooms, colors are quite a bit brighter. 24 |A lovely blue chair, green rug, and pink pillow are so much more vibrant that most of what we have seen in this house. 25 |But even so, the idea of cray threads its way in with a shadowed sleeping nook. 26 |Fun wall art is a perfect way to bring a child’s personality into a room’s design. 27 |The faux grass carpet is perfect for a cold winter, too, when playing outside is a bit less common. 28 |In the second child’s room, colors go even further with an astronomy-inspired accent wall. 29 |A bright orange chair is the perfect homework spot, looking out onto the yar. 30 |Built-in shelving is required for an kid’s room lest things get too cluttered. 31 |A similar piece of wall art brings the charm in this room, too. 32 |The bathroom decor slides comfortably back into the gray theme. 33 |White and gray match up with natural greenery. 34 |Of course glass and tile are all but required. 35 |An overhead lighting bar is a stylish solution for the over-sink vanity. 36 |A second bathroom is smaller but pulls from a similar style. 37 |Again, white and gray play nicely together. 38 |In this room, an overhead ring light is the best solution. 39 | 40 | Recommended Reading: 42 Gorgeous Grey Bedrooms 40 Gorgeous Grey Kitchens Did you like this article?
