Living room modern style, possible?
I want to give my living room a moder but cozy style. Couch is from my old apartment, do you think I need a bigger one for this room? I love my wall color so I'm not gonna change that. Any piece that could help bring this together? What kind of end table of extra seating would go with this?

hace 6 añosAny thoughts about this two chair for my living room? Should I go with a love seat and a chair or two chairs?

hace 6 añosWow, it looks as though you want to go out on a limb with colour. I love the second chair for your look; not at all sure about the first. It's too transitional in style. I think you should stick with two chairs. A love seat might overcrowd the space. But I really do think you should make your rug your first purchase. What if your ideal rug, for instance, turns out to look 'orrible with that chair?
If I were doing it that way around, matching rug to existing chair, I could easily fall for this rug. Its organic look would be a great foil for all the clean geometry you have going on.

Unfortunately, Rina's rug is no longer available.

hace 6 añosHome sweet, you can get as many chairs as you can fit, but the key is to measure twice and then measure again. I generally don't recommend armless chairs unless you're seating people you don't really like, but in this case you might find them useful. They don't have much visual weight and you can put them pretty close together. Be sure you take them for a butt test first; they can be uncomfortable.
The red chair also looks small enough that you might be able to get two of them on one side of the room.
You can mock the room up on graph paper and cut out paper templates of furniture to move around and see how it fits. Even better is to use blue painters tape to outline the furniture on the floor to see how the sizes feel in the room and if you can navigate easily.Home sweet agradeció a groveraxle

Is it possible to have 3 different colors in chair, seat in the living room. We are definitely going with a love seat since we need the extra seating. So love seat and chair...I'm so ready to buy a least a piece this week.

hace 6 añosÚltima modificación: hace 6 añosHere are a few looks for you with this same rug.
Of these four, I think the first with the yellow and teal is most successful, the last with the red loveseat is least successful.
You can make yourself an inspiration board and copy and paste your current furniture, then add rugs and seating that you're considering to see how they coordinate (or not). I would do this and settle on a color palette before I bought a single thing. Otherwise, you could end up with a piece of expensive furniture and be unable to find a rug or chair that complements.

hace 6 añosI love the rug from west elm, it's out of my budget so I tried to find something similar that work for me. I follow your advice and made this. I'll print it out and play with colors.

hace 6 añosHere is where the exact hues of your seating and rug and pillows will be important. If you're a little bit off, your pieces may clash. The loveseat is more green than teal, and the chair more coral than red, so I had to find pieces with those hues. And because I'm working on a monitor, it's entirely possible these colors don't look like this in real life.
Your best bet is to shop locally when you can so you can compare colors and return things easily if they don't work.Note: 60% neutral, 30% teal, 10% coral. (I'd like to find a rug with just a touch of coral, but this was the best I could do this morning.) All pillows from World Market. Rug here:

hace 6 añosÚltima modificación: hace 6 añosDid I make a mistake and order the wrong size???!!! I took measurements like 10 times and now I'm worried this is not gonna work.
groveraxle
hace 6 añosYup, it's too small. Did you order the wrong size, or did they send the wrong size?
It should be this much wider than the couch and should slip under the front feet at least 1/3 of the way back.
The red chair is adorable, though!Home sweet

hace 6 añosJust got my new love seat!! I can't decide to go with a 6x9 carpet or 7x10
Any suggestions?

This is how long the 7x 10 would be. My couch is almost 7ft long, is 2ft on each side to much?

I just need some pillows for the new couch and more decorative pieces to put everything together.

hace 6 añosLove the rug. That was a good find. Pull it back under the sofa and leave some floor exposed in front of the media cabinet the way I show below.
Here's a rule for pillows: use them to spread the colors from your rug around the room. Aim for contrast, so yellow pillows on the blue loveseat, blue on the red chair. Your yellow pillows are perfect, and you can keep the ones that match your couch. Go to Pier 1, World Market, Home Goods, Ross, etc. and look for pillows in teals and rusty reds. Your yellow pillows have a small pattern, so you could do one pillow with a large pattern (geometric or floral) and the rest plain.
Remove the mirror and get some plain linen curtains close to the color of your walls.
I don't know where you plan to hang art. I don't think there's a place for it in the views of the room we've seen. Is there room for art on the TV wall? If so, we need to see it.Don't mind the dog. Everyone gets one now.
