How can I unify the look in my living room?

9 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I recently renovated my kitchen and dining as seen in my profile picture here and attached photo. Thanks for all the comments on kitchen column dilemma. My next project is my living room. I want an upgrade look but does not want to do major renovation. How can I unify the look of all three areas? What accessories should I add or remove? I like to maintain the map mural, sofa and the poang chair. Thanks.

I love your map mural! What is behind the barn door?

For the living room, I would lose or recover the pink chair and lose all the throw pillows on the sofa. There are too many things on the coffee table so reduce those and have your accessories relate to the map mural, it would make more sense then just placing random accessories all around..

Thanks Charlee. Well previous color of the living room was aqua where the map mural was based.

When I renovated the kitchen and dining, I shifted to all white to make the room spacious.

Previous theme was shabby chic, but I felt have outgrown the design concept.

I understand the look and would possibly compromise by bringing a white and brown striped curtain into play. This would add verticality and tie your wallpaper and white cabinet into the decor. When open you would have subtle brown and white stripes, and when closed a continuation of the wall pattern

Thanks for your comments, its great to discuss with houzers! You are so right @decoenthusiaste the view is beautiful and one reason why I chose the apartment. the room is longer than it is wide, and I wanted the kitchen/bar to be included in the seating so the attached pic is how I was planning to lay it out. @cdrdesign I can't/change the table, its a gorgeous mahogany piece I had custom made and one I see keeping for some years yet! I dont plan a TV in this room, will put it in another room. This room in for living and entertaining guests. Sorry I dont have layout software, so you will have to make do with my scribbles using powerpoint! Could really do with help on choosing the light fitting in place of the central fan- what would look nice here or should I wait till the furniture gets here to choose the light to match?

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! :)

Artificial turf! The green (they come in different colours, too, if you'd like to be psychedelic) adds a lively pop of colour to a blah space, and they're designed in easy-to-install tile-style units that have some built-in drainage for minimal maintenance. Absolut Outdoors and Green Turf can tell you more :) And I'd hang an outdoor art piece or a screen for air plants on that blank wall, too, to enliven your balcony.

For your coffee table accessories, why not a small globe sitting on an atlas?

The new look is more white with wooden furniture and straight edges.

For living room, clear white table and add more modern modern accessories in metal. The pink needs to be replaced with a brown or a mustard yellow cover(to make it stand out but yet within a warm tone). Beige sofa can have 2 cushions on each corner to neaten up. Cushion covers can be black and white modern patterns and maybe a small size in mustard yellow matching accent chair. Add a smart looking black and white rug geometric pattern rug
