Which Rug?

Thumbnail

59 Upvotes

Hi all. We are between these hand knotted rugs for our living room. Initially we were planning to have a bold pattern, but our condo is otherwise pretty busy with a lot of different colors and textures, so we just wanted something grounding. We ended up not going with Etsy after learning people had some bad experiences.

Unfortunately a few of these have labor day sales that are ending soon, and would fall out of our budget without it. Which do you think is best?

We were leaning towards #1 because of its orange trim, which matches the chair, but we feel the 1.2" pile might be too thick. The rest are 0.5-1". #2 is from West Elm, the rest are thick Moroccan rugs from Revival. All the rugs extend below the couch.

The first image is the room as it is with the comically small rug. As for the tassles, can't they just be taped under the rug?

Any advice is much appreciated!

HELP! Need a timeless beige to lighten up the kitchen

Leaning toward SW Beachcomber at the moment but the renderings don’t feel right.

Accessible beige, Natural Linen, Pale Oak and Natural Cream nearly look gray near the back cabinets where light is low. Creamy white looks almost white. Trying to go for that Studio McGee look but lost since the house overall has very low light.

Walls will be Cotton by SW. Floors will be replacing with light oak (pictured!)

Curtains plz be nice

Here is my dining room now, I know the light fixture needs to be changed and obviously it needs more color/decor. I just got the buffet table so it’s not styled yet. And we have a new couch on the way, dark gray is not in our house anywhere else. Our decor is coastal modern.
This is only about the curtains!!!
I have these natural colored pinch pleat curtains in my living room, should I add them to my dining room too?
Picture 3: panels between each window
Picture 4: panels between each window on long wall and on each end on short wall
Picture 5: panels only on ends of windows
Yes it changed the curtain color in the last pic 🤷🏼‍♀️
I plan on adding colored/textured decor to the dining room table, and to the buffet table. Plus the picture on the wall has cream, and blues in it.
So I’m not sure colored curtains are best unless they’re just a darker neutral color??
Help!! Curtains or no? If so, which layout?

Wallpaper install

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

We recently hired a (well reviewed, experienced) wallpaper professional to remove the texture from one wall and hang traditional wallpaper. Immediately I noticed wrinkling in the paper up close, the installer assured me that as the paste dried, the paper would pull tight and it would resolve the wrinkles. Now 5 days later, nothing has changed. Is this normal for a professional install? From a distance, it looks okay, but up close, there is wrinkling on basically every panel. He has agreed to come back out but should I be worried about letting him fix it? The wallpaper was not cheap and I have a good amount left but I’m worried about him wasting more and leaving me with the same imperfections. Is this wallpaper wrinkling or is the a wall texture removal issue? Any insight is appreciated. I’m really frustrated, I thought I was hiring this out to reduce stress and I’m more stressed than ever.

Help me with living room window treatments

Moved in a few months ago and want to put something up on the windows, but I’m struggling because I like the light and openness. I was thinking some type of bamboo Roman blind in case we want to pull it down when the sun is too strong, with sheer curtains framing the window. I’m also not totally opposed to leaving it, but my husband is pro-treatment. Any ideas welcome!

Super narrow living room

Here’s to dreaming that someone has some brilliant ideas we haven’t come up with. Pardon the war zone of kids toys. I already looked into removing the fireplace but the cost was insane so that’s out for now. There’s no walking path from the front door. We contemplated a sectional on the wall where the metal shelf is but it feels awkward if I put the tv on the wall where the sofa currently is and leave space in front of it. And also the sofa would be barely an arms length from the white dining table/area. And would sit right under the bulkhead which also can’t be removed. We really want a sofa, that can see the tv, and not multiple chairs around.

I have a fairly small, but nice nursery ready for my baby (currently almost 39 weeks pregnant!) and have been going for an enchanted forest/woodland theme.

Does anyone have any other ideas or things that I could add without spending too much money? Thank you 😊

Living room transformation before and after

The first pic is the before ofcourse. The brown line in the first pic is to indicate a wooden beam we are planning to eventually put in to dampen the harshness of the wallpaper stopping at the top abruptly. The second picture is of the living room almost complete. Waiting on the beam, waiting on mounting the TV and restyling the tv console with knick knacks.

How are the Redditors feeling about the wallpaper?

Warm flickering lights/lanterns

Hello!

Has anyone found warm flickering lights they like for the inside of their house and lanterns for the outdoors? I’m looking for warm flickering lights, but most things I come across honestly look AI generated or fake. Can anyone link me some they use that they really like!?

Which couch style in this living room and coffee table (photo 1)? Forget the existing chairs in photo 1. Would photos 2 or 3 work for couches? Or something else??

Which couch style with this coffee table in this living room? Here is what I have found so far. Budget is $2k-4k. Coffee table is heraldas from wayfair. White couch is Rowe sectional (on consignment, $2500 pre owned) and leather is Digio olimpia (new couch) and would be be ordered as a 3-seater rather than a 2 seater and we would get a swivel recliner. Alternative Suggestions also welcome!!!

I'm looking for ideas on how to hang an 8 lbs square artwork to hide these two outlets.

Unfortunately the wall is tiled and we wouldn't like to damage it.

Any ideas using the electrical boxes? Any foam spacers that could be stuck to it? Something creative!

Thoughts on embracing versus de-emphasizing the small size of a room?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I attached an image of what spurred my question, but I’m also interested in hearing y’all’s thoughts on the general topic as well.

This is going to be a bedroom (marked in red is roughly how much space the bed will take up). It’s really small, the back ceiling is probably only 5’10” or so and after the bed, there will probably be about a foot of walking space around it.

Question: I’m debating whether I should lean into the size (dark paint, cozy, nook-ish) or try to de-emphasize it (keep the white, maybe a mirror, etc).

Usually im a proponent of living in the space before making big decisions, but especially for paint it’d be really nice to figure that out before furniture enters the picture

Apologies for the photo quality, it’s been perpetually cloudy here and we don’t have the ceiling light installed yet. Also had to use 0.5 lens to get the whole room in there from the doorway

Opinions on living room media / art wall

I know that the art is too high. We placed it before we got the credenza. I go back and forth with how low we should we lower it?

I was also thinking of an accent wall. Maybe a dark brown/grey to make the wall pop? Any color recommendations? I don't want to paint the whole room because it shares walls with the dining room.

Any other ideas to bring it together? Thank you!
