Please help this corner in my living room!

hace 9 años

My L shaped wall is 91/2x91/2. We didn't want to get a sectional,so we got 2 reclining love seats. That leads to my dilemma of what to do with this corner. It's a 3' square to work with. I have a floor mirror that I can use, but I wanted it between the chairs. I'm flexible and on a budget. Thank you in advance for any help.

You can add an end table with a lamp for lighting, and hang artwork above the loveseats. It's an inexpensive way to fill up this space.

You may want to consider a large square end table. My wife and I use a coffee table as an end table in a similar space situation. Alternatively you could try a medium height shelf with lighting to both add some down lighting and visual interest.

I know these are recliners but can you try to move the chair on the left a little to the right?

Hola MONICA: Gracias por explicarte. Si no te obstinas por poner fotos tuyas variadas y pequeñás, puedes encargar un vinilo autadhesivo, con una imagen de la más alta definición, que haga tu instrumento, o comprar alguna en un banco de imágenes. Procuras que la parte alta izquierda sea lo más neutra posible y pegas la imagen sobre el paramento completo, incluso sobre el frente del split. El resto, puedes hasta pintarlo a spray del color que requiera, para camuflarse mejor.

Gm everybody, My wife and me are trying to design our new kitchen, and we are a bit concern about its location in the house. This is a DIY project, so we are looking for opinions. As you can see in the picture, we are creating the kitchen room at the left bottom side and keeping a garden at the left upper. Our first idea was to locate the kitchen close to the living door (upper in the picture) but we would like to mantain the garden. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!! Rodri

Buenas noches gestión estética! Muchas gracias por tus comentarios e ideas aportadas, la verdad es que estamos muy ilusionados con el proyecto pero también es cierto que es una reforma de cierta envergadura por nuestra intención de actualizar y hacer más cómoda la vivienda (en la actualidad no cuenta ni con ducha!) pero a la vez intentar mantener los elementos estéticos de la época que le confieren el encanto que tiene al piso. Agradecemos cualquier asesoramiento ya que las reformas las emprenderemos nosotros mismos, sin ningún arquitecto o interiorista que lidere el proyecto, contrataremos directamente a los profesionales que han de ejecutar la obra, por lo que nos surgen muchas dudas de la mejor opción estética / económica / práctica en diversos elementos. Adjunto otro elemento en el que no llegamos encontrar la opción ideal, hay 2 salas que están separadas también por la misma marquetería que en el dormitorio y unos armarios a ambos lados. Nos gustan estéticamente (no en ese color quizás) pero seria más practico que las 2 salas no estuvieran separadas (una estaría destinada a comedor y la otra a sala de estar), por los que nos planteamos o eliminarlo todo (con dolor en el corazón) o una opción intermedia como vaciar solo la parte central, o la parte central y uno de los laterales. ¿Consejo? Por privado (si se puede hacer esto aquí) podría enviar plano completo del piso y más dudas que tenemos! Gracias!

Due to a leak I need to repaint my kitchen, and surrounding walls which leads eventually to my living room . I need HELP to find a color that compliments my CREAM Kitchen cabinets and the living room color which is BERKSHIRE BEIGE. I think I want shade of white to brighten up my kitchen and family room and hopefully compliment the Berkshire Beige (BM paint color).

I agree Abbyjean. What do you think of this? My mom likes the mirror here. I have this art that can go behind chairs and I'll put a table between chairs.

Will you show all the walls in the room? Where is the window, the glass door and the fireplace I now see, too? Looks like a tv to make sure is included for viewing, too. Once we see the whole room, I think the suggestions will make more sense for you. Thanks for your patience and willingness to try things!!!

As you can see, it's not a big room. We are going to frame the TV and hide the wire. And I'll come up with something else to go on the mantel. We just moved here and I have to live with it for a while.

Thank you! Hmmmmm......what about the two couches floating in the room, across from each other, lined up with the fireplace and place the chairs with the mirror on the wall across from the fireplace.

Does hubby have a favorite place to watch tv from? Do the couches need to be so he can watch tv from them straight ahead?

Yes, he likes the TV in front of him. Plus, one of the chairs would be in the entry way.

No mirror in the corner or anywhere in the livingroom. It's of no use there. Looks like you're just trying to fill space, which you are, but it should be functional. Put a table and a lamp. You need a table accessible to both chairs.

A full length mirror will not go to waste...take it to the bedroom.

Maybe a 3 foot square table about the same height as your chair arms would hold lamp/drinks/etc.

Is there room in the foyer for the mirror?
So, yes, the furniture is just where it needs to be and you need tables and a lamp or two. One other thought.....I have seen large high round tables that you place a table cloth over. A table cloth will add some color to the love seats and the large round table will provide room for a lamp and drinks to be set down there, too. Find a cloth with the green in the chairs and the blue in the art.

One other thought, and even though this 'rule' gets broken, I have also seen it work quite well. If your chairs are straight and not angled, a square or rectangle table fits the best between them. If you are angling them, use a round table. Maybe a starting point????

That's a great idea Abbyjean. I can move the mirror in the dinning room. Where can I find the table you're talking about? The arm of the love seat is 22" H. The table should be that height give or take two inches, right? Also, the chairs are blue. The picture isn't the best. Thank you so much for your input. You've been very helpful.

You can also incorporate vinyl lettering and expressions... in whatever speaks to you. They work great in odd-shaped places and in corners to accent the space and to add character and inspiration!

Hi All! I am new to Houzz but not new to home decor ideas - Thought I'd share my thought on this space. Great selection on gorgeous furniture, first of all. I'd do some industrial type of chandelier over that space and two narrow tables so each couch has it's own space. I'd then accent the space with a large round rug to pick up the colors of the artwork you have chosen. I am a big fan of not crowding spaces but ensuring you have function. Can't wait to see what you decide on!

I think the important thing is to really fill the space and the scale will be key. I would recommend a round pedestal table that is close to the height of the chair rail. (maybe 30"H x 36"D) A pedestal base will keep the proportion of the table light against the voluminous couches. You could accessorize it with a nice lamp, picture frames, maybe a plant. If you go with anything lower (end table height) it will be lost behind the couches. Search google images for "round entry tables" to get an idea of what I am talking about. Best of luck to you.

Just saw your post and all the comments. Because your sofas are recliners you should keep you 36" spacing in comer. A round table will not look good nor will it be very useful for setting down drinks and such while you are reclining. You should be enjoying your relaxation. I would have a very simple 36" sq table made of a medium wood tone. You can also have table made from paint grade wood and paint table to a colour of your liking and accents the room. A table like this will not cost very much money and fill in space as a sectional would have accomplished. A nice lager scale lamp on top to balance out the darker sofa.

I love your area rug and it will tie everything together and anchor the sitting group. just make sure rug is the right size - there is nothing worse than a rug that is to small for the space. You need a small round table to put between the chairs - try some metal or something a little more unique here - this is where you show your personality and add a little humor to the room. There is no need to put anything on this table it is for setting down drinks, books, etc while people are sitting there. If you use these chairs to read you can put a nice reading floor lamp to back side of table that can be adjustable to either chair. Hang the art work in a staggered arrangement to give some interest.

I would not use that large of a mirror in this room. It looks like you could use a mirror over the console table in the hallway. It will fit there horizontally? If you want a mirror in the living room find a smaller one in an interesting shape and hang with your pictures by the chairs - making a nice grouping. Lastly get a few throw pillows that will tie in all the colours of the room to put on sofas - this will soften the heaviness of the dark fabric and make the room more inviting and comfortable.

You already mentioned you are finding something for the mantel.....may I suggest removing left facing candle holder and putting the plant that is above it on mantel on the hearth to soften brick and add some much needed colour. Find a medium size white temple jar or something to replace the plant. You can keep grouping of three objects on right facing side, but do you have room to group them so they are just not lined up in a straight row?

You did an excellent job with getting the correct size of the furniture pieces it just needs to be pulled together with correct balance & scale without getting fussing little items and you will have a beautiful room to enjoy, entertain, and make many wonderful memories with your loved ones!

Thank you so much fma! You have totally tied it all together for me. I don't have any experience at decorating and I was starting to get overwhelmed. I do have an octagon shaped wood mirror that I plan on putting above table in entry. I'm also looking for a little lamp that has an angle to it like one light lower than the other or the base has the angle. I could put the floor mirror in the dinning room. New house and tons of projects. Thanks again!

You are welcome! Putting together an interior is very overwhelming - and the more advice you get from different people the more confusing and overwhelming it can be. Find someone you trust and can work with on work - on a plan and you will be just fine! This is the value a good Designer brings to the project - it may seem like working with a Designer is to expensive or money that can be spent elsewhere - but the truth is that Designers save you money in the long run by providing you the proper scaled pieces and layouts - so you know what to be shopping for - and not buying things that are not helping you achieve your overall goal and final out look you are hoping to achieve. It is YOUR home and it should reflect you and your family and how you want to live......it should be comfortable for you and your guest - both visually and psychically! Design and "decorating" is a personal choice and as long as it all flows with scale & balance your family & guests will also be comfortable and happy in YOUR home! When you are feeling overwhelmed - stop - take a breather - and then go back to project and you will be fine! You are off to a great start! Please follow my page and you will see some projects throughout the various stages. We are just in process of re-branding and working on new website and houzz profile.

Sorry, but I am a bit offended/bothered by your previous first comments. Part of the value of this site is BRAINSTORMING and it is never meant to confuse or overwhelm. Value of a good designer, yes, but lots of posters on here do not have the label PRO and give wonderful advice. Lots can also be trusted.

I am sorry you are offended abbyjean - that would never be my intention. I have never said anyone didn't give wonderful advice - I was merely speaking to laniboh's comment of being a bit overwhelmed. It is something I hear all the time in my 20+ years of experience with working with homeowners. I didn't get the feeling laniboh was trying to brainstorm as much as seeking a solution to help solve her design issues - and that is the service we offer.

I personally would probably move the sofas a little closer together so that their arms almost touch. That would fill the gap some and not make it as big of an issue, and then work from there. You interested in scooting them down a little and then send another pic?

The sofas are electric recliners, that's why they are so far apart. Any closer and we won't be able to recline. We originally were going to get a sectional but I was talked out of it. I now wish I would've stuck with the sectional idea. I wouldn't have to deal with this crazy corner.

Any ideas on what to do?

Since LS's are in the corner, you can go a bit taller on the table. Mine are 24" tall & 36" deep.. I have a 30" square table that is 27" high and it looks great - just make sure to get a larger base on your lamp to compliment the scale of your love seats.
