I need some inspiration - would anyone like to show me their living room?

I’m sitting here staring at my boring magnolia walls wondering what I can do to jazz things up a bit. I’m on a tight budget so no point flicking through the glossy magazines, I’m interested in ordinary people & ordinary homes.
TIA.

Can’t resist sharing pictures of various rooms and we have recently redecorated most rooms. We went for navy on one wall.

Excuse the massive TV. we have a bigger bookbcase

That's very dark mrsfriskers, and do you have a lot of fish?

MrsFriskers · 15/08/2018 19:47

Yep. It’s teal. I just paint dark rooms dark and bold, and add orange and lamps. No point fighting it. We do have lots of fish, and a chunky cat too :)

What a great thread. Loving all your photos and ideas, we moved last autumn and its all very magnolia still at ours. Small living room so not sure how bold it could take. Looking for mirror for over fireplace so will check out Dunelm and J Lewis.

Some people have really great instincts about home making, I am slightly in awe of that streak of creativity. Cozy rooms and fun with colours.

Love it Mrs Friskers, and the fish!

gettingtherequickly · 15/08/2018 21:27

Is that a new build Mrs pimple popper? It looks amazing!

Ohmmmnm · 15/08/2018 21:34

Well it’s obvious most of you don’t have young children Grin

I would share mine but it’s just bare floors, a low couch, and a few units with the handles removed Blush

😍 MrsFriskers that room is lovely. It’s exactly what I’ve beem hoping to persuade DP when we move!

Ignore the curtains - they’re being replaced with shutters soon

I adore all white rooms
This is one large room, dining table one end, lounge the other
I, still undecided about my art work that I made so it’s only hung up very temporarily

Not read thread. Op pinterest is brilliant for inspiration and you can ask for specific things eg rug in front of fireplace, white sofas, long curtains bay window.

Your rug is dragging that room down. But room has lots of potential!

Thank you everyone for all your kind help and advice, I am ‘on the case’ and will pop up an ‘after’ photo as soon as I’m finished. There’s not an awful lot to do really so shouldn’t take too long.
Thank you for sharing your homes with me, each & every room was so stylish ( & tidy ) we clearly do not have babies & toddlers Grin

Thanks again Flowers

The baby has only just left sobs.

I’ll be back when I have my
iPad later on. They all look like lovely dolls houses on my phone.
