Need design help
I need help with selecting decor for my eat in kitchen.
I put up 3 metal flowers on a rather large wall (I was having a very hard time finding art work to fill the space without being overwhelming-as this is part of the kitchen) It took me just over a year of looking for wall decor to decide on these.
I do like the flowers and now am in search of wall decor and table decor to compliment them.
There is picture currently hanging between the 2 windows that needs to be removed. It does not flow with the room (not sure why it is still up.. lol)
I am also open to changing the light fixture over the table.
Any advice or ideas is welcome
TIA

(3) comentariosHi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin...Ver másHelp!

(0) comentariosMy project is a small convenience store. The client pretty much wants to use as much space from the lot as he cant so the floor plan is just a rectangle, a simple rectangle. In front there's a covered terrace and i tried to make an entrance that can stand out. The problem right now is I dont want the roof design to be simple, but I'm having trouble with this. Im attaching the floor plan and two options for the main facade. HEEEELP! El proyecto es una tiendita pequeña. El ciente quiso utilizar el terreno al maximo, es por esto que la planta arquitectonica es rectangular, un simple rectangulo. En la fachada principal hay una terraza cubierta y trate de hacer una entrada que resalte. El problema que encuentro ahora es un diseño para el techo que no sea simple. Estoy adjuntando la planta arquitectonica y dos opciones de fachadas. AYUUDA! Mil gracias....Ver másPls help with floor plan design
(0) comentariosGm 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!!

(0) comentariosMake sure you have a great work triangle, where the fridge, the sink, and the cooktop are close to each other in the form of a triangle. Have a good lighting, either by having windows that constantly during the day will receive light or by having appropriate lamps. Remember that you will need a good ventilation system. Therefore, you must think of installing a good kitchen hood and having natural ventilation. Which other considerations do you think are important?...Ver más

hace 6 añosHi Tia,
Very Nice home. What I typically bring up is whether a) it flows or whether b) its predictable styling. Style is onto its own. As for the item between the windows, anyone would naturally find whatever is there to be glum since either to the right or left is activity outside the window. That wall pc deserves another location like on the wall of a stairway or a bedroom.
You've acquired these wall flowers but they're not accented. perhaps a small offset shadow (semi gloss black/dark emerald ) behind them would be good. So with a green accent in there,then you can be off to find the correct wall item that owns the space between the windows. Big bold and clunky as in high contrast to that ornate over table light
I picked some out on the internet , perhaps this helps.
the very red one is a city scape.. not particularly clunky but very big as color-blotch for the wall. Under that is what I call 'highly predictable". along with the city scape. Its like that diner scene where the guy is sitting at the counter that you see everywhere. The brown piece is color friendly to your kitchen but wheres the interest? people sitting around a table It transports you nowhere. people sitting at the table can do that without buying new art. Its virtrual reality experience of plain wall.
On the food theme, pigs are very in style lately. Now the yellow one illustrates a point of decoration without art. I like this. It should sit low on the wall as to 'be the action of light" between the light and the surface of the table. Its actually a photograph OF an art exhibit by Yayoi Kusama. So we're talking a twofer of the photo and maybe above it a pic of Yayoi. If The yellow print were set up. I'd suggest a very thick frame.
And of course . Richard Nixons head from an episode of Futurama. Can't go wrong there.

hace 6 añosÚltima modificación: hace 6 añosit's very pretty,,,but very sedate. while I don't mind the flower things, they wouldn't be my choice. all the beautiful art out there and you can't find anything? custom artists abound on Etsy. find something.
the other issue that jumps at me are the chairs. I think if you did some lighter ones, it would work better. something like in these pics. A rug is a personal choice, but it would add some color and pattern. and a beautiful chandelier would really stand out (the one you have is hung a bit too hight)
some nailhead trim, lighter chairs. a rug. blingy chandy. custom artwork. pick one, two or all, and see what you think.

hace 6 añosThis is something like what I was thinking. It would be an opportunity to add some interest and personality to your space.

hace 6 añosI do like the idea of adding lighter or cloth chairs. I will be on the lookout for those.
What are your thoughts to replacing the flowers with this? It is a canvas print.

hace 6 añosthis would look good with the wall color. get lighter upholstered chairs and fabric Roman Shades in a linen fabric.

hace 6 añosÚltima modificación: hace 6 añosamirault- Yes they would. I was just wondering if something would fit in that corner without taking up at least 1/3 of the window.
and maybe artwork w/just a tad more color or pattern? or put a large piece where the flowers are. a horizontal piece. black and white?
here's your flower canvas

hace 6 añosBeth, I actually love the soffit over my island.
I originally wanted a full coffered ceiling but the layout of the kitchen did not allow it (without it being a nightmare for contractor). The kitchen wraps around (a full L shape and the two sides are not the same size) and there is an entry way tied in to the ceiling so it would not "flow".
Not sure I understand what you mean by 2/3 chair rail- There is a chair rail in the space already.
I have included some more pictures of the space to help get a better understanding. Please excuse the mess (it is just post holiday and no school)
Also, I am OK with moving the flowers but what do I put in the space that they are currently are in??

Thoughts on this? Instead of black and white.
I also want to thank you for the photoshop pictures-
I am very visual and they help me tremendously :-)
And unfortunately I am not tech savvy and have no clue how to do that.
Kuddos!!

Beth H. :
hace 6 añosÚltima modificación: hace 6 añoskr9772,,,I only mentioned the coffered part because someone else brought up your ceiling molding. That's a nice island you have.
my photoshop is elementary at best! It's done on the Mac desktop w/preview. that's about all I know how to do.
as for the roses,,,I think because of the musical notes, it might be better suited for a piano room or something?
If you can shoot a pic straight on showing that wall (not a close-up though) I could possibly try out some other artwork. (remove the flower things if you can)
what do you think about the drapes idea that was mentioned? a rug? lowering the chandy?
