Help next to decorate a living room to coordinate beside two other rooms contained by an undo floor plan house?
how can i coordinate my living room to look suitable with both my traditional-style formal dining room and my contemporary fireside room.
please let me know if you want any more information.
any suggestions for stores are welcome. links near pieces that you like from stores similar to Bombay and Pier One would also be very paying special attention.
thanks!
Answers: The "experts" say-so pick a color scheme and transport it throughout--sounds like you own a relatively "blank palate" with black leather furniture. If it be me, I'd choose say three colors..and receive one the dominant color in respectively room..and accent near the other two in the rooms.
Martha Stewart would probably speak mix textures and fabric, as wel. Maybe a print (chintz) would be good surrounded by the dining room. With black leather, you could do something more shiny (not satin, but something like it?) for pillows. Add a throw, or even a couple of nice artsy sort of pieces. Play sour the colors of the chintz in the dining room.
You've get mustard yellow walls, green and gray countertops. Depending on your wan (is it a blue-ish or yellowish yellow?) you could supply some shades of green, maybe a rust or blue tones. I'd find a color controls (like paint stores have, or decorate books) and look at what's next to the wall colors on any side. Those are your complementary colors.
I've also seen some wood items (frames, boxes, shelving units) that are black beside a wood reveal..that might be a nice tie-in to bring some of the wood from one room into the black leather/glass room. (Hmmm...I feel close to finding a paintbrush myself!)
Use colors that blend from room to room. Keep the formal living and dining rooms in similar style (traditional).
Is the fire room like a family circle room? Try to add some traditional looking trimmings to that room. Pillows, art work, ottomans....
I would suggest using black and that mustard yellow and tag on some other colors to that, maybe terracotta or some other threatening colors.
I would try to create a more eclectic look in adjectives areas.
The black contemporary room could use a more traditional style carpet lower than the furniture to make it look smaller amount stark.
I have friend next to two $2M homes decorated within modern style but in both homes she have switched from modern area rugs to traditional hand-knotted styles. With colors and cloth patterns you can tie adjectives the rooms together.
I did one house with black as a frequent or dominant color contained by each room.
In the living room I have traditional furniture and this rug

In the family/hearth room I had a huge antique mostly black rya rug slack on the main wall. It have a very simple cut-out or spots. If not antique I would say the template was modern. I have some antique accessories. Traditional style pillows, but the rest be pretty much modern leather with a low burgundy as in the living room rug. I have only pattern in geometric or tribal style, nought floral, nothing contained by soft pastel colors. In the dining room I painted the wall behind the dining set eggplant, and the traditional, somewhat SW inspired dining set looked awesome.
So I would recommend what the interior designer who help me get started beside did:
Select colors to be used thru out the home. Use at least one of the colors surrounded by each room.
Find two full-size items ( like nouns rugs) with the colors and styles you similar to which look good together and look perfect in the space intended so that these items tie the two spaces together - they are the anchors and a basic focal point - either on the floor or on the wall.
Use LARGE appurtenances, few are better than many small ones. Especially near a modern room the rest of the house should not look cluttered.
Trust your instincts. Make the rooms reflect what you approaching.
I had never decked out a complete home and had to use some expensive pieces disappeared over from my previous home.
I combined a lot of styles surrounded by each room - I could also move furniture from one room to another and it would look OK nearby. I think that be the key when buying - would this look appropriate in thatother rooom as very well?
I ended up selling that home fully furnished!! I get two offers contained by one day both wanting it fully furnished!! I get almost all my money fund for the furniture because I had shopped during sale and liquidations, eBay, yard sale, etc. The only entry I kept was the antique rya rug. I feel the house had no heart after that rug be gone because it left such a huge hole between the two spaces - nil connecting the blacks on both side. So a few large knob pieces is the secret I quality to good decorate. Also keep the stuff appealing to both sexes.

Pull colors from adjectives the rooms, but don't make any two very.
Use the black from the hearth room, green from the kitchen? - make a payment a third color such as smoke blue or peach for fabric /upholstery within LR. What color are drapes/curtains and chair pad in DR? May know how to repeat those colors.
Add some oak furniture [ DR ] such as side table or bookshelves.
Perhaps a rug in DR colors, but comtemporary design, or surrounded by hearth room colors, but surrounded by traditional design?
Suggest you frame all art contained by similar colors and materials - oak/walnut, brass/chrome, colored enamel. Then you can re-arrange all over your home.
Maybe some marble, or black chalice in side table or accessories. Be sure to include a few 'modern' [ stone, brass or chrome ] as economically as 'traditional' [ porcelin, iron, pewter ]accessories.
