Just that really. I'll be redecorating my living room soon and I'm after some ideas of what to change and what colour scheme to go!

I'm embarrassed by all the clutter, but as you've all been brave enough to share, so shall I.

I think Shockers has proven the old truth that well placed lighting really can transform a room. Bravo.

I wouldn't post one but there was a thread recently where someone posted a photo of t heir living room and asked if people thought it was messy. Lots of people posted photos of their living rooms on that thread. MN is a bit weird but no more so than people are generally really. Humans in casual social interactions work on their perception of how trustworthy the other person seems. Online this is harder to judge so the conclusions made and the effect of the hat on requests from an op can seem more random than in fave to fave interactions.

In the last thread the op started with their own photo. I think this helped them seen more trustworthy and probably also as luck would have it the first person to reply was positive so that set the to

This is just just one of my reception rooms. I have to say I am most impressed with my new drapes (hand stitched)...

We recently child proofed the living room. Much safer now.

@NotMyFinestMoment

I love your trendy 'deconstructed' sofa.

Mercurial123 · 09/06/2018 08:52

For those few posting real photos, make sure you remove the metadata first. People can find the location the photo was taken if you used your phone. Brilliant for stalking. More info about this here:

As a few people have said, MN is so bizarre! I asked people to show me their picture rails once and lots of people happily obliged, posting photos of the picture rails in their houses. People often ask to see living rooms etc and they get hundreds of serious replies with photos and then you get this, an entire thread of pisstaking Confused

This is my living room before and after, I hope you can tell which is which :o I love it. DH built the fireplace himself :)

Ah, yes, great idea to replace that old-fashioned stove with a cutting edge gas fire and retro-inspired orange swirly carpet Grin. Green curtains with orange was a bold choice, but I think you've made it work, @AintNobodyHereButUsChickens.

Mercurial123 · 09/06/2018 12:04

But why does she want to see someone's living room that's a strange request. As I said if you want to look at people's living rooms go on Rightmove.

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 09/06/2018 22:36

The orange swirly carpet is extremely threadbare for extra authenticity :o

ScreamingValenta · 09/06/2018 23:07

I noticed that, chickens. A case of those little touches that make all the difference Grin.
