We had an extension along the back of our semi detached house a few years ago and still havent got round to styling it properly. It was so draining getting the extension done that we just threw up white paint on the walls, bought a cheap neutral rug and a couple of lamps and that was it. I have still got "temporary" curtains hanging up that are all worn and, and no pictures or anything else new.
The main issue apart from the lack of oomph to do it, was that we replaced our sofas and I now regret what we chose. DH wanted recliners so I went along with it, but I hate the style, they're so naff. But as they're only 6 years old, DH is absolutely against buying new ones. So, if I want to do the room up, I've got to work with them. How can I make the room look better with these in? I don' t know what colours to put with them, what accent colours for cushions and rugs. Even worse, our floor is mid brown laminate.
And our lounge is very long now, with the new bit having a tattered old sofa in it and an old ikea poang chair with worn fabric on the seat. It all needs doing but I keep looking at the sofas and feeling totally uninspired as to what look will work with them. We still have the same cushions on the sofas as in the photo. It isn't actually a photo from my house, just one off the internet, but our floor is similar, just a bit darker and the walls are the same colour.
Any ideas, apart from getting new sofas altogether?!
