What a great blank canvas. All you need is the colour(s) that you love. Large artwork ( landscape shape) behind couch, some nice cushions, maybe a grey faux fur to tie in with carpet and the others can be colourful, textured or whatever you like. You could add a throw too. For a coffee table I would consider a round one with a wooden base and glass top. The wood will add warmth to your room and the glass will reflect light. Depending how far you want to go you could also add a lovely rug to define your seating area and also the coffee table. A nice big potted plant where it will get enough light. Have fun with it.

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).

hi GESTION ESTETICA If you click 'edit' on the page I sent, it displays the distance in centimeters when editing the room dimensions. The closets and furniture shown in image 1 are exactly how my room is, both in dimensions and placement, right now. I plan to remodel it later, like in the second image or a different one that's more organized, as I see fit or as you may suggest.

Hi Kylie, you need a contrast between the wall and the sofa. I'm doing some work with wallpaper and murals which can look amazeballs. The sofa, blind, and carpet are all neutral. Take a little design risk and choose a great wallpaper.

Then pick out 2 or 3 colours for cushions, a throw, and a rug.

Hi Kylie. Do you currently have any artworks for the wall behind couch? A large landscape size, as suggested, or a series of smaller ones would create a focal point and add interest, but take your time and have a good look around as there's so much out there! I think adding texture in your soft furnishings, as Julie shows with her pics, will work effectively to balance against the smooth surfaces, ie walls and your furniture. Plants in raised pot stands are one of my favourite things to add in a room, but if you have pets or small children, just ensure they are non toxic.

Kylie I really like the hot pink in the second picture of flowers which plush design posted either a cushion or may be long rectangle print in similar theme above couch would bring life to room as would say a tall plant in window corner or smaller one on corridor side of tv and maybe a small round timber table next to couch. Enjoy shopping and take your time till you’re really happy with what you choose or buy cheap and experiment

You have only the basics in your room presently, so you're good to go. My immediate response is to warm up the space. A large artwork with colours that attract you would be my first buy. Then you can hone in on two of the colours for cushions and throw. Repeat the predominant colour three times e.g. cushions, in a patterned throw, with a pottery bowl/artefact.
Either a coffee table, or even an ottoman that can be extra seating, or with a tray on top a temporary coffee table. A floor lamp for softer lighting, reading etc. and potted plant of decent size e.g. peace lily. Another option would be to house the tv in a unit of shelves, then you'd have a place to add those things that show your personality e.g. books, stack magazines, framed photos, bowls, knick-knacks meaningful to you. It seems to me the wall with the tv against it needs to work harder for you. See photo for an idea, it's a fresh approach to the shelving option. Take some thinking time before acting. Good luck.

Yes , my first thought was pretty much along the lines of everyone else -- a large artwork -- personally , I'd go for an abstract with that 'bladed on' look , in either tones of reds and oranges and yellows , OR several blues and maybe green and silver . Go big -- at least 1.5 metre wide by 1.2 tall . There's some cool mixed media ones available for $400-500 on-line , that have bits of tinfoil and corrugated board and the like added too -- certainly adds some visual impact .

Add cushions to match , large candles on the TV cabinet in the same colour pallette , and if you're adventurous , get the blind remade or spray coloured , again keeping to the same pallette to tie it all in .

OR as an alternative , how about the wall behind the couch in fake 3D brick wallpaper ( reddy/orange and cream bricks ) , and the wall behind the TV painted an earth toned orange -- the white couch and black TV cabinet and white wall / blind / ceiling would would contrast nicely -- maybe add a larger white faced clock with bright red or orange numbers -- you've gotten a vast improvement on a budget .

I love the wallpaper previously mentioned, you can also add a paint colour in different shapes. For eg use the shadow pattern to go from the wall to the ceiling at an angle- this will also give some height to the ceiling.
