What did I do with this room?

hace 7 años

It's the first room you see when you enter our home. It is the formal living space but it's completely open to my dining room. And the piano is staying in there some where. There is this weird, unique space on the back side of the stairs that I would love to help out. That table looks weird there. Plants look good but is that all I should put there? I want to replace those chairs and rug. Ideas? Other furniture ideas?

It seems that you really don't need to turn this into a living room, sitting area with a sofa and coffee tables as you must have this going on elsewhere. You obviously like music if you have a piano and drums. I would embrace this as a music space. Get a larger rug and move it closer to the front window. Get rid of the console table. Maybe put an upholstered bench there instead - something inviting and less formal than the console. I would place a comfortable chair and ottoman by the window in the corner. You could sit and read there or listen to whom ever is playing music. Not sure about how to transition this space to the dining space though.

Hi, consider moving the piano where the small table is next to the stairs as it only comes to the height of the moulding and then consider the two lamps on the small counter area behind the piano. I would place the piano so that the one side of the piano be just where the counter ends and the wall begins, and then it looks like your two lamps will fit on the counter and not be higher than where the stairs curve down.

I would then place a shortened 'U' or 'L' shaped sectional along the wall where the piano used to be. I would have one arm of the U or the short part of the L divide the space between the living and dining, and you could possible place your small sofa table behind the sofa back.

Envision this kitchen as being your dining room and then have the small part of the sofa dividing the space. I would also find a much larger rug, so that all the living room furniture rests on it.

If you still want smaller occasional chairs, you could go with a single sofa or love seat and then place a chair or perhaps two as the dividing element between the living and dining.

I really like the dining room drapery and your large piece of artwork. I would move your current rug to your dining space and perhaps add a complimentary mirror on the wall that is currently bare, or perhaps move the two smaller pieces that you currently have on either side of your door over to that wall.

For the living room, I would continue with that colour theme and perhaps buy a neutral tan sofa and maybe a sisal rug and then brighten up or create contrast with the occasional chairs in a darker blue, maybe navy. With the neutral sofa and sisal rug your décor won't clash but compliment with what is going on in the dining room

HELP - contractor totalled quote incorrectly, now says owe +10,000

@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!

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.

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!

Colourbond Southerly and Ironstone

Do you have a pic of the facade? The gutters should match the gutter, no need for another colour. You will get some blue from the Bluestone but given the proportions I wouldn’t expect much but will depend on the orientation and elevation. Southerly is still relatively new - can’t wait to see it in place. What are the windows?

Have you considered putting the piano where the console table is currently? That way you have a virtually blank slate to work with in the are that you first see when you walk in. You could use a sectional sofa to begin the creation of an inviting living space

put the piano on the staircase wall, move the rug under it, group the two chairs across from it. put the console table under the window.

you really need a larger rug to make it work.

move the painting down to dining room and complete that blank wall.

once you have moved things around and have a larger rug then address the long wall.

Beautiful staircase!!! The room is lovely as well but if I could suggest just a few easy changes? Replace the foyer table. Just doesn't seem to have enough weight and size for the room. Take what looks like drums tucked around the piano and place around and under the different, larger foyer table. This will lighten up the piano area. Then I would get bigger lamps in a accent color for foyer table. Hanging the art in that location rather then leaning because I think it would look better up higher. Move rug closer to the chairs so you define that this is an area of the room as well as the dining is an area. Last of all I would put the candle arrangement you have on foyer table and put on the ledge above. I think that it should look nice there and the table won't be so crowded. Have fun with this room!

Absolutely, just be sure to make the little niche in that wall important.

I agree with relocating the piano. You need a larger rug to ground your space, and some seating. That console table is small in scale for your room.

Floor lamp, end tables with lamps would be better light source. But once again small space is full of large sofa. Imho

I'd be inclined to shift piano and do something big a dramatic like in pics, you have the room
