    Can the deer be put elsewhere so that wall can have a piece of art?

    As for color are there colors you like? A lot can work in there as it is all neutral right now. Orange, blue, red, golds etc.

    Different textures meaning a fur pillow and another that is more silky or a textured fabric.

    ‘Meant to say earlier if you get laz z bit type sodas it makes the cocktail harder as it has to too far away for function so you can kick up. Ottomans if sturdy can act like added seating if needed for a party etc.

      Are the sofas not comfortable?

      I think you need to finish the room. Seems you are feet up type of family. How about 4 squre ittomans that can be put together with tray as cocktail table or pulled apart to put feet up. I would say if in the budget a different rug as it seems too much grey on grey on grey. And maybe a bit larger. Colorful pillows are switch up to a cream or something that offers contrast. Vary the texture as well with the pillow. Window treatments? I think the rug, pillows will be I portent since it dies nit seem like there is a place for art work.

      Light ir metal /glass end table so they don’t blend in.

      We also have a huge wall? This is a new house that we recently built.

      Nice fireplace, but that TV is way too high. If it is going to be that high, it must be tilted down. Could be one reason the room is uncomfortable.

      Sectionals are not usually very comfortable either and they are very hard to decorate around.

      A sofa table behind your sofa and/or a coffee table is needed.

      A corner table between the sofa and love seat with a lamp is needed.

      A chair, recliner or regular could be used on the open space with a table between the sofa and the chair. Another lamp on the table is in order.

      What window coverings were you thinking about? How high do the windows go?

      Yellows, blues, reds, turquoise go with grey well.

      Bring those colors in via lamps, pillows, throws. Add some of those colors at your drink station via glasses/mugs, etc and into the kitchen via accessories, hand towels, etc.

      Varying the textures means smooth fabric, fabric with slubs, shiny fabric, dull fabric, etc.

      Windows are large and look out into the wood which we like. Window suggestions?

      Is there a different way you would arrange the furniture?
    • Kathi Steele

      The deer is okay, but it is one of the first things you see when you walk in the door. Can it be moved to above the doorway by the stairs behind the fireplace? It is way too high also. Just because the ceilings are tall, does not mean you hang things higher!

      Wait the deer are too high? What is too high? Ha I’m confused. But, yes we could put one above the doorway

      I realize now there are 2 deer.

      You still hang things at eye level. You just make things larger and add more on top.

      Google Images decorating family rooms with tall ceilings. Great ideas.

      Drapes should probably go to the ceiling and will probably need to open/close with remote. Open during the day and closed when the weather is cold.

      Framing the deer heads in 2 faux frames on the tall empty wall would be interesting.

      Kathi I like the idea of a faux frame for the deer heads on tall wall heading to kitchen. Put art with some color on the sides of the windows. A decent size round end table between the sofas. The current table is too small for that space.

      I like the color of the chair you added, but I'm a recliner kinda gal! I go for comfort watching the boob tube!!

      I like the color too! So the end table I have is too short or too small?
    • PRO

      I think a bit of both. Maybe move to the other end of sofa or loveseat. Round here is probably better as it will fill more of the space. Ideally the table should be about the same height as the arm height but that does not always work out. More depth as that size seems to be just tothe futon of the sofa. I would like larger then center in the space rather than pulled so forward. Does that make sense?

    • Kathi Steele
      hace 6 años

      Not too short, but definitely too small. I like it when they are at least half the depth of the furniture. And not so close to the furniture. About 3-5 inches away is a good spacing, IMHO! The big bulky furniture needs a bigger table. And a lamp. In your accent color!

      How do you light the space other than can lights?

      There are usually 3 types of lighting.

      General like can lights

      Task like table lamps and floor lamps for tasks like reading or conversing

      Accent lights like wall sconces and low level table lights.

      Can lights should be on dimmers. Task lighting should be variable also like a 3 way bulb. Accent lights can be on dimmers or 3 way if desired.

      Oooh great ideas ladies! How do I get a table lamp there without an outlet in the ground

      Is havng a floor outlet out in possible? Do you have a basement or crawl space where they can access. Might be worth having an electrician out

      Lighting, or lack of, is a major issue here. For floating furniture you must have floor outlets. The seating looks too deep to be comfortable. The deer heads do need to go on that empty wall left of the fireplace and the bottom of the stairs. Just hang one above the other over the door, or hang them slightly akilter. Here's a chart for lamp and table height. The bulkier the seating the bulkier the table should be.

      Okay. Thank you! The lighting was at night and no natural light coming in.

      We think you just need to finish up the room to get that comfy look you're looking for. If you want to go for a sectional, go for it! But we think you can work with the two sofas you have now.

      What you're missing are side tables, a coffee table, maybe a lamp and some accent color that you can add by hanging art, getting new pillows and a different rug.

      Side tables



      Coffee table



      We also like the idea of defining the space on the side of the entrance with some chairs. Since you prefer comfort, we suggest this [Womb Chair and Ottoman[(https://www.houzz.com/products/womb-chair-and-ottoman-2-piece-set-baby-blue-prvw-vr~87528146), is the perfect combination of style and comfort, besides, it comes in gorgeous colors that can work wonders on your living room (remember those accent color we were talking about?)
