So its the start of 2012, and to get what i wanted, i will post a pic and start to think of ways to make the space more interesting...this is the first for Make me Home...
There are interesting pieces in this living area. The red two seater sofa and the two arm chairs are not that bad. Infact, they make an interesting pieces for a living room. The red sofa brings out a nice punch of color while the two chairs shouts industrial vibe to the space. Unfortunately, the persian rug though with a touch of red is lost in the space. But since we have an existing red sofa already, this will be the color for us to play with.
The existing two seater leatherette sofa brings out color in this living room. A white and black and silver throw pillows are added to balance the playful punch of red. This will tie up to the existing two black single arm chairs. The lay out of these sitting pieces is ok for this small space.
Since im feeling a modern vibe on this space, an acrylic coffee table is perfect. This table will make the living room spacious and somehow will make the space uncluttered and unobstructed.
Accessorize the space with a red bowl to tie with the red sofa and coffee table books for friends who like to read or scan pages. The red bowl can be a candle holder or a place for some decorative balls of silver, white and black.
A nice industrial modern floor lamp should be added on the side to illuminate the center of the living room. This type of floor lamp is very modern and will be cohesive with the two arm chairs.
A cowhide printed area rug is a nice replacement for the existing rug. I chose a geometrical rug to anchor the space and distinctively separate the living room with the rest of the house. The pillows and the rug complement each other giving some playful patters on the space. A rectangular piece like this balances the shapes of the sofa, floor lamps and the cowhides patterns.
Fill the book shelfs with books with red covers to tie up with the existing red sofa (to neutralize the black color of the cabinet). Books arrange in different orientation will add more drama. You can add little vases or white pots and some travel memorabilias and photographs. Make sure that the shelves are not overcrowded. Make this shelf as an interesting piece of art. Two identical shelves like this can be placed side by sides and the other one utilized as wine cabinets for a parties and occasions.
With a little changes, this living room became more inviting and more entertaining...
Till next time...
