What color cushions can I use. I am not using a carpet as I have a crawling toddler? I want to paint another painting for the dinning area adjacent - what colors would u recommend ? Orange again or a contrast .

I agree with Sheila. I like the look of more chalkboard wall, but there is a lighting issue. If this is to showcase friends' artwork, messages, etc, how about putting some type of lighting on the floor -angled up at the wall? (like you would do with floodlights) Since it is flat chalkboard paint, glare shouldn't be an issue, & it will highlight the art on the wall. Just a thought!

I also have an overwhelming need to see something curvy, flirtatious and round in the space. Consider this when scouting for decor and accesory items (i.e. round rug, curvy fluid light fixtures). Also, would it be a complete abomination to sand down the furniture (so it looks older) or painting it a new color before upholstering to modernize it? I agree with j222b's suggestion in that the furniture and space could benefit from some eclectic coverings but perhaps a neutral fabric against a new color that could bring out the carving of the wood could work too? In my head I see a rusty orange or deep aubergine purple or rich dark green. Just a thought...

I think the block of wood idea would be good and then you could play around with the wire to get something that will stand without attaching to anything. Then decorate the wire the ones in the pic are also attached to the ceiling which is probably not a good idea in a rental, drill the holes after you have decided on wire.

you painted that? it's stunning! you can do a lot with just a rug. I have 2 toddlers 2.5 yrs old and 19 months old. and I used a low pile indoor/outdoor rug from Walmart. it was like 40$ for a 5x8. it was soooooo easy to clean even when it was blackberry stains! if you really don't want a to buy a rug there are a ton of DIY area rugs on pintrest where you take a cloth and tape it to a non slip pad, then toss it in the wash! brilliant right? you can definitely use 2 big pillows, the have a mustardy/yellow one at ikea (you can wash the covers and switch them too) and maybe a couple small accent pillows. but LOVING the painting...and I wish it was mine..K bye lol! :)

paint the cutout part of the wall that it's on a strong, contrasting color, like cobalt blue.
