Decor/ accessories help
Hi. I've been working on my living room, and now need help finishing it. I just hung the curtains today so they are wrinkly, and will have sheers under them this week sometime.
Photo one: what can I place on the left end table, do I need a lamp as large as the one on the right? Anything else I should put there? And can I just leave the coffee table bare? This is the first room people coming in the house see. Also, from my previous post, I worked on pillows but feel confident I got it right
Photo 2 and 3: really need help with this corner, don't know what to put on walls or on top of our old entertainment center (it's used for our printer and storage). Also should I get a better chair for this area? I could use some light in this corner as there isn't a ceiling light.
Last wall, need decor for on top of desk and weather I should keep this desk lamp...my husband does use this area to do bills etc.
thank you for your time!

8年前Oops I see already I faced it the wrong way, but you're right, it makes more sense and he'll be more likely to put t away if it's closer. I could also put that chair in next room.

8年前I'd get rid of the entertainment center and put the desk there with the art that is over the sofa currently. Update desk lamp. See pic. Leave the chair where it is and put a plant next to it. I'd move the console table to the wall by the front door with the girls pictures stacked on top of the other one. Put the end table where to desk was. Put landscape artwork over sofa.

8年前I would probably rework the corner with the entertainment center and the desk, but I'd do something like this with two chairs in the seating area:

8年前Oops the piano picture. Yes we could get rid of either the desk or entertainment center. I am realizing now, looking thru the desk's drawers that there's nothing in the. Except stuff I didn't know where else to put, so could organize that better

8年前Vicky, here is a very rough layout of the house. We,ve been here 19 years and I always had the rooms for whatever the kids needed at the time, but now I painted the woodwork and the walls and am trying to just make things "nice". I'm calling the room with the piano my reading room. We don't use the piano. But it's my moms so it will need to stay in one of these two rooms. Also, when I reread my opening statement, I meant to write that I DIDNT think I did well with my pillow choosing!

8年前Now that I really look at both rooms together, the desk and piano are kind of side by side, even thought there's a little wall between them. The first picture is from the kitchen, second from the living room.

8年前If you put the desk on the stair wall, do an art grouping on the wall where the entertainment center was, you'll have plenty of room for at least one chair, probably two.
I agree with Vicki that a landscape format picture over the loveseat would work better.

8年前最終更新：8年前I think you had another thread on here where I suggested clearing off the top of the entertainment center. On this thread you had it cleared off & now you have it up for sale. Be careful as we might just clear out the whole house. Just kidding!!!! You are progressing in the right direction. I do think smaller pillows will look better on the sofas, since you brought them up.

8年前Oh I just remembered there was a chair that went with this sofa set, it's really bulky though. Here's a picture

8年前Sandradclark and groveraxle, Both Sandra's chair and the bird chairs are sold out! I was too late. Here are some that target has though, would these be right?

8年前Well! Now those bird chairs ARE available at target online as a clearance. Grover so you really think they would look good? Photo one is that chair, and photo two is the chair in the adjoining room, which would be viewed at the same time from either room. Would the bird chair still go?

8年前Here is a chair in my budget. It's not colorful but I could put a lumbar pillow on it. It is 31" high, and 24 inches wide and deep. Kind of small? I would have to order it though, so want to be sure.

8年前The chairs arrived, and I like them except they are a lot darker than I thought they would be. But I think I'll keep them. Is this where I should place them?
The computer center is gone, and I moved the desk to the other wall. I also found a pillow I liked much better for the couch, so now.....I will need a good pillows for the new chairs ( not the ones I put on them now) and what to do with the corner by the stairs? I put a picture I already had kind of above the desk to see if it would look ok. And I still have four of those graduation photos to put somewhere.
Any advice would be so appreciated! My daughter just got engaged and I'd like to have his parents over soon, but need to finish this first

8年前This the new pillows I got for the couch, what would you suggest for the lumbar pillow plus another pillow for couch? I really have trouble with pillow selection

8年前Get those chairs out of the corners. Pull them up to here:
Put your desk chair in front of the desk. Plan on making a gallery wall where the entertainment center used to be.groveraxle

8年前Thank you for the pillow advice! That's so helpful. I also saw this one online but it's an outdoor pillow, but would it still work for the chairs or is it too much
groveraxle
8年前Those would be OK on the chairs. I would make the rest of my pillows solid or very close to solid, then.

8年前Hi. My progress is so slow, I hope you all will still help me! For the staircase wall, I centered the desk and moved the new accent chairs out of the corners. Then I put some pictures up, and for above the desk, here's two different looks I could come up with. I got confused when I shopped for a mirror for above the desk and didn't end up getting one.
The pillows should arrive tomorrow then I will post those also.
jeannethebeanie
8年前The pillows arrived today, as seen in the first picture. The striped one is really long, don't know if it will work. Which pillow do you like on the chairs? And can I just do two pillows in the corner of the couches?
