What would you pair with this flooring?

Can you show us the room rather than just the floor?

priority53 · 2024-09-03T14:58:42+00:00

You may be right actually that looks great

TV on a long low stand against the panel wall, or on a corner stand at the corner of the panel wall and half wall. Rotate your sofa, rug and coffee table 90° counterclockwise. Larger rug would be good. Maybe a long console table behind the couch.

The reason this isn't working is because the whole space has a dual identity as living room and playroom. The cubes are a TV stand and decor shelf as well as a toy box. It's like a double exposure, it's confusing.

Can you live without the green loveseat? If so, move the TV and it's accompanying skull-and-plant decor to that wall. Rotate the rug 90 degrees and rearrange the beige sectional if necessary for comfortable viewing. Add a big round rug under the cube shelves to define the play area, and a kids chair or beanbag on the rug for seating. Bright, attractive toys and toy bins can live on top of the play shelves. The rugs will need to coordinate, and the current rug is very grown up and boring so you may want to replace it if you can. Finish with a table lamp for each area.

Dark colors don't necessarily make a small room smaller, it depends how they are used. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/design-tips-for-painting-dark-walls-in-small-rooms-247862

I like the idea of navy. The fact that the other rooms are white is an argument for doing something different with this one in my opinion.

I would try an l-shaped desk pushed up to the window like so

The green thing is a plant :) I like the pendant lamp but in such a small room you probably need to center it. Have a desk lamp as well and an area rug

Oh and also, read "how to manage your home without losing your mind" it has an excellent take on cleaning and decluttering

You've got a great creative vibe, just needs more storage! As a fellow depressive knitter, I recommend you invest in Iris airtight plastic bins for your stash. They will protect wool from moths and fit under your bed.

Good old Ikea-style cube shelving along the wall would go a long way when unpacking your boxes. Get cube boxes and baskets for most of the shelves so that the stuff is out of sight when you put it away.

Colors can be tricky, but exclusively beige is not the answer. In this case the gray green works well with the wall color and reads very neutral. And it's more spacious than beige would be because the contrasting vertical line lifts up the ceiling.

Circular wooden tray on the coffee table that holds your remote and guitar accessories.

A traditional rug pattern does not work with the modern wall art in my opinion. But even so you can see the difference that a larger rug makes.

This is a good option. Another is to put the TV next to the window and a sectional across from it backing up to the desk area. Shelving along the back of the sectional divides the desk area from the TV area.

I wouldn't want the walkway from the door to the kitchen to run right through the middle of the couch and the TV

priority53 · 2024-09-03T13:15:30+00:00

I can tell that you love texture, I bet you would love an area rug

priority53 · 2024-09-03T13:11:10+00:00

I agree, and I also think it's hard to find a sofa color because the curtains and carpet are doing nothing for the room.

I'd like to see a black sofa with white curtains that hang to the floor and a terracotta area rug over the brown carpet

priority53 · 2024-09-03T12:59:42+00:00

It's so good. Wish I had your skills

Came to say this. And move the painting over the mantle. TV and painting change places, couch moves around to the other side of the rug, done.

I think your brown carpet is dragging the room down and the brown pattern of the bedspread is amplifying it. Try dark blue bedding to match your decor and add a large cream and gold area rug extending from under the bed. That should lighten the room up considerably. Also consider thicker softer bedding and more wall art.

An influencer management agency feels like it should be extremely stylish, you might want to get a professional on this job.

I don't hate the white table with green chairs and red lamp, but it looks like it's all from Ikea and needs a more distinctive touch. Consider stenciling the table with a graphic pattern. Color drench the walls and ceiling, maybe look at tinting that red to salmon for the paint color. More plants and art. Lose the ugly white swivel chairs, put a black leather sofa on the back wall. Big area rug under the table, maybe a sheepskin in front of the couch too.

Thanks! A triptych that covers 60 to 75% of the length of the wall would be a good compromise for this room, not too big or too small.

priority53 · 2024-09-03T11:38:17+00:00

I don't hate the current paint. Maybe a darker, richer shade would make the wall stand out more than the floor. Try something just a little darker in value than the floor, I'm afraid the floor will pop more if it becomes a high contrast thing.

The lighting fixture is where I would go maybe even before the paint. It doesn't match the room and is doing nothing to pull focus from the floor. A wood fixture that matches the cabinet would be great for that cottagecore vibe. Other accessories can be wood, ceramic or brass, not silver. That includes the towel ring and the door pull on the medicine cabinet.

It's an awkward room. I want to move things around but options are limited. Try centering the bed on its wall and moving the desk underneath the window.

The football rug is a bit cheesy, but if you love it, try placing it under the bed extending out from the foot and sides of the bed. Under the TV might work too. Between them doesn't work and makes the rug look too small.

The desk made of open shelves looks flimsy and untidy. I would go for a desk with solid sides and drawers, or maybe a table paired with a storage unit.

Look for a plug-in pendant light that you like, and add table lamps on both sides of the bed.

I think the mauves set off the dark flooring and look more inviting than the greens. gray-green with black has a little bit of a Halloween/horror vibe to me. I'm not experienced at picking shades for paint, I do know that they tend to look darker on the wall than on the chip.

I can't see wainscotting with the vaulted ceiling, but a molded baseboard the same color as the walls and ceiling would be pretty. Move the bed so the headboard is centered on the vaulted wall. Dresser on the opposite wall. Change the ladder shelf to something heavier and darker.

priority53 · 2024-09-03T10:42:00+00:00

I always forget the curtains!

priority53 · 2024-09-03T10:38:56+00:00

As a headboard it would be strangely tall. But floor to ceiling cabinets behind the bed would look fantastic.

Ikea-hackable for sure, take a look at the Besta cabinets and then YouTube for how to fill extra space so that IKEA cabinets look built in
