Need help choosing the right drapes for my kitchen/living room
I am on the hunt for curtains or drapes for my 2nd floor. Since I have pattern chairs and rug I need help finding the perfect fit for my space.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks in advance :)
Ps- The 3rd picture is my living room rug but it hasn't arrived yet.

Unique kitchen layout
Kommentare (11)Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen. Cheers, TH...mehrWhat colour/fabric for soft furnishings
Kommentare (19)Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer...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...mehrKitchen/dining room wall
Kommentare (5)Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna...mehrbetty_n

Thanks! I do like, especially because the room looks more spacious now. However, I am not a big fan of walking up the stairs and seeing this...

vor 7 JahrenI totally understand..a very slender sofa table in glass to match new end table is all you need so many very enexpensive ones online to chose from that won't break the bank..I actually think the room could use it...great place to add a large full of drama accessory that I think is missing in your room!:))
What do you think of this dark navy base lamp with white shade to match your floor lamp shade? Great price..
Or this awesome sculpture High design Horsehead lamp?

vor 7 JahrenThanks Jordan:)) I think it really helps with the band of the drapes and the flow of the room..also allows more furniture and accessories to be added to really complete the space!
Betty_n..love the dark navy lamp and price is amazing.....I found these amazing black rattan stools thought they would be a beautiful addition to the overall space for your counter..is it counter height or bar height?
I noticed that fur stool!! It is amazing..have you tried it floating in the open space between sofa and blue chair in front of ottoman as extra seating..you could drape a small throw over one end....for some fabulousness:) than put white small garden stool next to blue chair..add your glass end table between chairs and sofa table and you are set!! Gorgeous..
Jordan what do you think? That fur stool should be out in the open..it is so awesome.

vor 7 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 7 JahrenJordan and Betty..I think the sofa can be pulled into the room more..and looks to me like their is plenty of space for a couple bar/counter stools. Looks like the wicker stools that you bought for the counter are bar height??? You need counter height..this is what measurements I use..
Jordan That's is awesome news!! Masters degree you go girl!!!
you might want to keep this chart in your design file..It is so useful and helps clients visualize it:))
these wicker are the wrong height:(
no room for your thighs!!

vor 7 JahrenJulie...I will keep that for sure thanks haha! Also, yes Betty had bought those before I came along. I think she needs white or cream chairs in here! The place where I was thinking is bar height I believe. She gave me measurements for the place where the rattan stools are (but I think it would look better on the other counter). She liked these chairs...what do you think?

vor 7 JahrenI would use the same style bar and counter stools in kitchen and family room counter behind sofa...the white ones I posted in rattan come in both sizes.
Betty what is the size of the art you have for kitchen eating area?
I have these in my dining room and love them..so happy with the quality for the price..the are not a bright white but a nice linen neutral....the only reason I would go with the traditional host chairs is that the side chairs are more of a trendy look and the bench would be to..so doing something more traditional gives it a more classic look. Also a bench would have to be against a wall otherwise it would be very awkward to keep pulling it in and out..they are best if stationary with table pulled out all the time for ease of use.

vor 7 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 7 JahrenHey Betty...went out to try to find more "unique" chairs like Julie suggested. I really LOVE the one she showed you as well. I think the one you originally liked is nice too and would definitely work. A ghost chair (lucite/clear material) would be nice so that things don't look cramped in here. There is already a lot of furniture, and a ghost chair will not take up as much visual space.
If you like any, we can find coordinating stools for the other counter too. Some come in both counter and bar height, which I noted too.
This is bar height:
Bar height:
ghost one comes in both counter and bar height:
this Safavieh one comes in counter height as well as bar height:
only bar height:
this stacker one comes in bar and counter heighT:
this one comes in both gold and silver and both options come in bar and counter height:
Only bar height:

This quilted one comes in bar and counter height:
Thought these all would look amazing in your space and brighten kitchen up.

vor 7 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 7 JahrenThe only thimg im a bit confused about is why no banquette? I mean more often they are against walls, but I know I've seen tons that are not! Just position it so that you can slide in and out without moving the bench and close enough so you can eat.
And with circular too!:

vor 7 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 7 JahrenAlso, id do something to lighten up your table. It doesn't look like there's enough room for a rug under your table without obstructing walkway. So I'd say something like a modern table runner in a white/cream would work to lighten things up. Just like we talked about before, theres lots of dark w the dining chairs, flooring, and table. Runners can be any size really...waterfalling off the table or ending before that. I think it really lightens up the table:

vor 7 JahrenZuletzt geändert: vor 7 JahrenHi Betty
the art work you posted will be to small and I think to casual if you want it to be more of a formal space:(
that is a very big wall..take a look at some of this art..nothing with black frames ( couldn't find anything ) but would be very nice in your dining area....I would hang a candle sconce on each side of the art.
Here are a few candle sconces from zgallery...love they are all oversized...and gorgeous will give the formal touch you want. Look on zgallery they show them in rooms so you can see how fabulous they are in size and presence!
