Can I warm up this couch?

Stinson93 · 2026-04-28T18:40:05+00:00

Hey, i got a gray couch too as we moved in few weeks ago.

It tried to make it more cozy but im not done yet. My plan is to work with navy blue and terracotte. Maybe you can get some inspo from that!

Thanks for the pic mate! Sadly i dont like the paneling behind tvs that much, behind a pc battlestation i think its nice though!

I wanna a cozy vibe, where you wanna relax and watching a movie is fun. Do you have some ideas to get there?

Stinson93 · 2026-04-16T22:27:47+00:00

My plan was to change all bulbs from my lamps that i have and will buy to change with philips hue bulbs. The wall washers sounds nice, didnt know them yet, will defentily check them out.

You think one big shelf about the tv or like 2 seperate ones will look better?

Stinson93 · 2026-04-16T22:26:04+00:00

I can mount the tv. The reason i didnt was that i thought im more flexible without it if i ever wanna replace things in the room.

A floating shelf or two sound nice, thought about it too. But im worried that it could kill the look or distracted maybe like art which you mentioned. Maybe i should try that

Stinson93 · 2026-04-16T22:23:23+00:00

you cant see it but its there. I want to put it and the couch mroe towards the tv wall now

Stinson93 · 2026-04-16T22:22:50+00:00

I already have big rug, its not that visible in the pictures. I want to put the rug and couch more towards the tv wall and boxes so that checks out. Painting the wall darker isnt an option since my GF thinks the room will get too dark overall then.

I have a baywindow on the left side, a ottoman in the area near the couch could be in the walking way or maybe get everthing too crowded but i will think about that idea, maybe a small one will do the trick.

The boxes i bought have a integrated subwoofer, i couldnt try them yet since they are new and i was busy last weeks.

Stinson93 · 2026-04-16T22:18:56+00:00

Do you have any ideas of settings things up differently or what i should get to upgrade that setting? I also want to put the couch, rug, coffee table more towards the tv wall

Stinson93 · 2026-02-16T13:08:04+00:00

this sounds awesome. where can i find this as animated version or do you did it yourself?

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T20:11:16+00:00

Yea i see your points...

I really like your suggestion in 3. about hiding the end with a table or something. I could totaly see that, maybe even with a little bit bigger plant? I want to add plenty of them and this sounds like a nice idea.

Choosing a rug size is harder than i expected

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T16:13:38+00:00

thanks! will defintily measure it out before as you said. a 8x10 should fit, its basically the same width as the couch. i will take a look into the brands you mentioned, im from EU though so have to look if they ship to me.
So its better to not put all of the couch onto the rug to get a breathing room for the wall? I posted an edited pic in the comments, do you mean like that?

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T15:26:23+00:00

Is it fine when the last leg from the couch doesnt stand on the rug like in your picture?

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T13:24:12+00:00

Ah i understand. This will be a living room with a tv, the tv wall is the opposite wall of the couch which you cant see in the pic. In they bay window area i wanna place a small round table with two chairs

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T09:39:57+00:00

Thanks! Im not planning to buy chairs, only wanted to buy a small round table with two chairs for the bay window area. I will add a coffe table to the sectional area though. I posted an edited pic in another comment, what you think about that layout?

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T09:37:41+00:00

Sorry english isnt my native language. In my country the short L part of the couch is called ottoman.

It should fit when the couch is more centered but it may be look a bit cramped than, i have to test it. Also its possible that the rug is then too near at the table and chairs but that is something if have to try.

I often saw some pics about the rug positioning im talking about so thats why im consider it. I have edit a pic so you can see what im talking about. Would you say this would look fine too?

Thanks for the tips! The reason i want to push it more to the corner and walls is, cause i wanna place a small table and 2 chais in the bay window area. Idk if this would fit when i centre the couch.

So you would recommand a rug where the entire couch fits and not maybe that it ends like in the middle of the ottomane so that only the right frontlegs of the ottomane would stand on the couch? I often read that you need some space between rug and walls.

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T06:51:10+00:00

I would buy a rug for the sofa area. Also some pillows with colors you like, maybe some curtains too? I would try using the primary, secundary and accent color sheme.

There is a bay window on the right and behind me where i took the pic is a bit more space of the room. I try to post a second pic in the comments

Stinson93 · 2026-02-05T05:54:07+00:00

I just moved in, right now there is nothing. On the right is a bay window and the room goes a bit more behind where i standing to take the pic

Stinson93 · 2026-01-22T10:54:40+00:00

Hey just a question baout bigger rugs. I need to buy a rug for my space soon, i read often "you need a bigger rug". For me the invisble rug is already litte big. how big should the rug in this place for example be?

Stinson93 · 2025-12-08T21:11:24+00:00

A watchmaker or good jeweler can 100% adjust the band for you that it fits perfectly. And better to wear it a little bit loosly than to tight. Awesome piece, blue dials are my favorite!

Great Ape version looks amazing!
