I like the curtains, but do not like the way the tv pushes the curtains. I don't mind the tv, it is a practicality of life. <br /><br />I would watch the tv by lying on the sofa, but then no one could watch with me, so perhaps not the best arrangement. I don't mind the color of the sofa, but I might like more color, or a sofa that looked a little cozier. <br /><br />I do not like the coffee table. I like he way the rug looks in the photo, but my experience with similar rugs is that my feet would not like them. I also think the pictures on the wall are too small. I would do something in a larger scale, either larger and with more color if I kept the dark sofa, or large and graphic but perhaps more neutral if I opted for color on the sofa.

I think that would be ok for the neck (if slightly on an angle).<br /><br />I can see this room is not a huge "resonator".

My problem is 1)how you gonna watch the tv from that couch,? The angle is neck twisty for me. I need to see the rest of the room to really get a good feel for the functionality of the design. I do realize that the photo stylist most probably moved/removed some of the furniture to improve the sight line for the photograph. Speaking of photos, why are these ones hung so high up on the walls?

I have a high degree of tolerance for TV wires, apparently :-) And I get where you're coming from. Good thinking for me. Do I want to flex my "grown-up" design muscles?K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-60483906296607217122017-08-03T13:16:10.534-04:002017-08-03T13:16:10.534-04:00I am confused by this room because the sofa is rum...I am confused by this room because the sofa is rumpled and the TV looks like it belongs in a dorm room because of cords cords cords, cords showing on wall, cords showing down below because the "entertainment center" has no cabinetry. I get it people watch TV and shouldn't need to hide it all in an armoire (though hey that is an idea) but it shouldn't look like you just dragged it in from somewhere. And not only does the table have glass edges but the base looks like a tripping hazard, sticking out to the edge of the top like that. So, I love the bones of the room and while I wouldn't go all formal to "match" I think I would go less mixed eras and have a more formal sofa (formal but comfortable) and table(s) that could actually be used by people sitting on the sofa: this table seems very far away. I am not much at interior design from scratch but more like "know what I like" and have been through many iterations of how to make sofas/coffee tables work in the daily functional sense. The picture does make me want to go to Paris....Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327909184795545590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-19516739982248696102017-08-03T08:20:52.153-04:002017-08-03T08:20:52.153-04:00You know, I don't think I have it in me to use...You know, I don't think I have it in me to use another platform (over and above this blog and Insta) at the moment. Although, I agree it would be a good platform. I've tried to get into Pinterest but not as yet, apparently.<br /><br />And I love your honesty!

And I do love wallpaper (not that I'm likely bold enough to make that kind of commitment - which is really hard on walls).K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-6219159411812828152017-08-02T19:45:08.220-04:002017-08-02T19:45:08.220-04:00You could invite us to comment on a Pinterest boar...You could invite us to comment on a Pinterest board? :) That's what I use for picture ideas, of which I have far too many.<br /><br />Comment on the above space? High ceilings, textured walls, warm walls, warm floors, light - all good. The table is horrible for use by humans. Glass with corners??<br /><br />The bones of the room are good, but let's start completely over with the furniture. Navy's good though.

For sure, window dressings are practical and I believe in them! But man, if I had a perfect view in Paris, I would say, look at me in my undies - I don't care :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-53552998410129953282017-08-02T13:54:59.321-04:002017-08-02T13:54:59.321-04:00Hahaha!

I do love the simplicity, and the light and the deep coloured sofa. I'm always drawn to this in other peoples spaces. For me I need more textiles. I always itch to dress a bare window. Even if it's just acres of sheer cotton or linen.Evie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838980250700215736noreply@blogger.com
