Need help in designing Foyer Area
Comments (28)Hi Few points: 1. It's not an independent residential apartment. It is a flat in a 25storey block 2. I have attached the floor plan for reference. The entrance is not too huge. 3. It's good to know that you guys have liked the Bathroom & kitchen design. The tiling work is in progress and it has come out well. I will take few snaps and post 4. When I say resort look - I understand and mean a simplistic natural looking design. More towards wood, nature, green, matt finish etc... Hope i am not confusing anyone here 5. Do you think the bathroom & kitchen design gels with what I mean by resort look. 6. The foyer area is a small (not too big) entrance. It's like a passage as you can see in the pics I posted earlier. When you enter you don't see the entire living room rather you see the wall (kitchen wall), where we intend to keep our dining table. Some thoughts on designing that wall is also requested Thanks!...See Moreneed help in dining area lighting

Comments (5)A small place will read better if done in sophisticated neutrals, I think. No rug in DR. A neutral rug in LR. Pull slightly more vibrant neutral colors from the neutral LR rug as they have done here....See More

9 years agoThose photographs look really special, Roxanna. I'm presuming they are the same size? Would you consider putting the thinnest of frames around them? -- there's probably a name for this kind of frame, but I don't know what it is. I've had it done on mounted posters and it gives a very neat finish. It's more of a rim than a frame.
Is that wall painted a different colour from the others?

9 years agoEven less contrast than I thought. For some reason, I really like this rug for your space, though colors on monitors can be deceptive, so if you have a West Elm, check it out in person. http://www.westelm.com/products/steven-alan-solid-wool-shag-rug-huckleberry-t1342/?pkey=csolid-rugs-flooring&cm_src=solid-rugs-flooring||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-
I would introduce another color to give the room a spark. What color will depend on the rug you ultimately choose. Here is one idea with the rug linked above:

Also, just a thought...our reclaimed wood sconces work great as a pair to flank artwork or mirrors above a sofa. They plug in with a chrome cord cover!

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoRoxanna, I hate to be picky--OK, that's a lie because picky is what I do best--and you've done a really nice job with this room. But I'm not crazy about the aspect ratio of your photos. I'd like to see them cropped so there is less background and the photos are more square or even portrait format. Then I would add a third photo to the mix. The photo that is your avatar would be a great one to add. The whole grouping will be taller, have a better aspect ratio, and cover more of the wall, like so:
In fact, you have in your ideabook my favorite all time use of family photos:
