Sofa dilemma, please help!
Hello Houzz,
We are updating our lounge and the carpet has just been fitted. I need help with what colour sofas to choose. We've been looking at off white and soft grey, but have to wait 14-15 weeks for those... What are your thoughts about cream? The cream set is available in 7 days. Please see photos:

TV Placement dilemma
Comments (3)The only option really as Emily says is the the bottom left side wall of your plan. I wouldn't suggest putting it in front of the balcony - that's just not good circulation. And any ways you'd probably have a problem with electricity and plugging in your components and have wires all over the floor in front of the balcony. Put it on that wall and use a swivel mount so you can angle the TV around as you need to. You could also use a lift cabinet if you want to conceal your TV at times......See MoreClueless on rug color!

Comments (27)You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent....See MoreExpat needing help with rug selection!!
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 MoreNeed help for guest/study room
Comments (2)Hi 4eva zx, If you're only occasionally using the guest/study room as a place for a guest to sleep, then you should prioritise being able to use it as your home office. That said, you'd be better off having a more comfortable and convenient desk, rather than one where you'd have to climb up and down a platform, and possibly roll off it if you're using an ergonomic chair. A short-term guest would be well-served by a single-sized sofa bed, which you can also enjoy as a reading lounge when there is no guest. The broken lines indicate the sofa bed when unfolded – not ideal as it would block access to the wardrobe, but it shouldn't be an issue for occasional use. The best use of this room would be for you to enjoy it as much as possible. You could even install some overhead bookshelves in the corner above where you planned to put the desktop. Alternatively, you might even want to try a convertible desk-bed such as this: Hope this helps!...See More

6 years agoPersonally I don't like either of these sofas for this space. Firstly I think that since the colour palate for the walls and floor is cool and masculine the choice of leather is too clinical and you should be going for a softer fabric choice.
Furthermore I think that these pieces are too small for the room you have - instead you should be looking for a chaise style sofa that will likely be 290cm long or more and a two seater at around 200cm plus one chair.
I do agree with the advice about not mixing cream and white

6 years agoWhat a stunning space! Glad you made your decision on the sofa, it's going to look lovely.
In terms of accessories and rugs, I think the room would look best with some more greys and blues, to accent that lovely carpet. You will need good lighting, especially in the darker corner on the right.
This is a great rug that would bring in some more blue tones. Then you could accessorise with similar colours in your cushions, throws and curtains/blinds.
These lamps are gorgeous and minimalist, and give a lovely soft glow. They come in different sizes, and can be hung in attractive groups, or as statement lights on their own.
And they come in a 'nomad' option - these can be picked up and carried around by their little silicone handle, and placed on the floor or table.
And for coffee tables - these smart metal side tables come in a few varying shades of white, grey, blue and black, and several heights. They could be placed next to the sofa, or in the corner.
