Colors and pieces for a welcoming decor

I live in a rental apartment where you walk straight into the lounge. There is an open plan kitchen that faces the lounge.
I would like to make the living area more homely, relaxing, cozy and add color to it. I love spring and autumn and sunset colors. Something traditional yet modern.
The sofa is a dark chocolate color. It has removable cushions on the back rest and the bottom. The two single seats next to the bay window also have removable cushions. I'm happy to change the cushion covers to match the new decor. I currently use the console for the TV but it can be moved.
Please give me ideas on the colors and an arrangement for the lounge. I can paint/wall paper the feature wall and adding wall hangings is okay. I will also be adding 3 adjustable bar stools next to the kitchen, a carpet, coffee table, plants and wall hangings. Ideas and colors for those will also be appreciated.

what furniture color?
Kommentare (4)Hi, I would suggest white for the bookshelve to keep it as neutral as possible for colorfull books. But I don't see a need to go with the same color for the sideboard. this can be doone in either grey or any darker color you like. Could be a nice eyecatcher. Christiane...mehrColorful carpet
Kommentare (5)Hi Valerie, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I am trying since forever to find some pillows in a similar color like the mint in the carpet, but with no success till now. The carpet is 190X290 cm, in the pics is not completely unfolded. Hopefully it will fit well. A big piece of artwork is also on my wishlist, but i feel i need to buy those pillows first . Not an easy task to find the rigt color and material. Regards, Andra...mehrSpace solutions
Kommentare (25)Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards...mehrNeed help brightening my therapy room
Kommentare (9)Hey Alice, Yes I know, it's so hard to pick one as there are so many beautiful ones! Yes, I would definitely choose one that's shorter than the sideboard! You could go for something white and simple or something made out of the same wood as the table legs or something that matches the metallic thingy over the desk. I think I would choose a simply white one or a metallic one. Or you could also just put a picture ledge there and then put the artwork on it and maybe a nice candle or a small plant. Depending on the shelf and the size of the artwork, I would put the artwork on it :) Also you shouldn't hang it too high, it shouldn't lose look disconnected from the sideboard. I would say about as high as the grid over the desk but it also depends on the shelf. But I guess you will see it when you chose one! :) I added a few examples but of course those are my taste but I hope you'll find something you like! golden shelf - Urban Outfitters (maybe you can find something with only two boards) Round metallic shelf - Lionshome Picture ledge - IKEA...mehr

vor 9 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 9 JahrenHi---paint would do wonders for the space. I suggest a bright green, something like SW's Parakeet. Add a rug and pillows to unify the space. Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

vor 9 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 9 JahrenLook at etsy.com for pillows. Your furniture is all incredibly dark, so stay in the medium values for wall paint. Too dark and your furniture will disappear and you'll need a flashlight to find it, too light and the starkness will hit you right between the eyes (kind of like it does now).
Of the colors on the palette you chose, I think the green is the only one suitable for the walls. I switched out the yellow rug from before with the identical one in red so as not to overdo yellow and green tones. The curtains are too white; I replaced them with something in a natural color and fiber.

vor 9 JahrenI have flipped the cushions on the couch (it has two sides) to show some possibilities of brightening it a bit with the palette colors. I'm not too keen on the stripes that's why they were hidden away. I'm quite happy to have a brighter seat cover made for the large couch. I've also dug up some fabric that matches with the curtains and used it to cover the curtain box to show an alternative to painting it. The curtain box is natural stained wood. Not sure the landlord will be happy if I painted it.

vor 9 JahrenFabric on the cornice could certainly work, though depending on what color you paint the walls, you may be able to leave the wood.
Here I've painted your walls a warm medium gray, and darkened the curtains a bit more. I assume you need them for privacy or light control (or both) and I know that amount of curtains is expensive, so you might look into having them dyed. They really are too white and will be even whiter once you paint.
I think you can get away with having the black side of the couch cushions out if you get bright enough throw pillows.

vor 9 JahrenThis looks good. The wall color is a darker shade of the grey on the cushions and ottoman. I'll do a search for the cushions to bring the look together.

vor 9 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 9 JahrenNext to the lounge is a walk way that leads from the front door to the rest of the apartment. I'm considering having a hall rug there. Due to the open plan layout, the colors should compliment the overall decor of the living area. Any suggestions on the colors and design? I've done a sketch of the living area that is roughly to scale (please hover over it for the full plan. Each square is a square foot). Your assistance with this is much appreciated.

vor 9 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 9 JahrenHi all, I looked around for fabrics that will go with the color scheme but couldn't find any! Using the principles learnt earlier here, I chose this geometric fabric. The colors feel great for this time of the year. The colors have a warming and cooling effect which is fabulous for the sunny days and a few rainy ones we are having here. I'm unable to make a visual color palette - however it's beige, mustard, olive green, grey and black.

vor 9 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 9 JahrenHere are a few fabrics I've collected for throw cushions...I'll probably not use them all at once! The carpet is an olive green which I believe can go with my different color schemes throughout the year.
