What else can I do to this room?

[happytobemrsg]

I’ve reclaimed the living room. This is going to be my yoga room & my space for peace and quiet.

What else can I add to it to make it more cosy?

Maybe a rug? I want to buy some cushions but I don’t want them to clash with the hypothetical rug. A throw perhaps?

I have a max budget of £150. Please help!!

I would add a sisal rug, some plants and some cushions.

@ifIwerenotanandroid 😂 the rug I’ve ordered should be ok. It’s not particularly squishy & I find my mat quite narrow so it’ll be nice to not bang my head on the floor when I lay back!

The clock is rose gold - as is a couple of photo frames & my floor lamp. It also matches my sound wave picture. I’m going to add lots of greens I think (my favourite colour) which I think will go nicely the rose gold & grey.

It’s very difficult finding artwork I must admit. I see things I like but they all seem to be portrait rather than landscape

Remove that clock and add some plants and cushions.

Add a floating shelf above the fire.

I like your room, I don't think it needs other colours particularly apart from green from plants. I find these colours really calming too

Can anyone help. What is wrong with my lounge. Just had oak floor done but everything seems bland . Grey leather sofa and silver chenille curtains 3 bay windows in lounge

@Holmfirthrita - with dark sofas I would be looking at lighter rug and lighter cushions. Both not grey. Add plants

I have some check cushions . Do they look better and I could get a lighter rug maybe a natural .

Plants.

You need plants. Mine is a similar choice of colours but I've got lots of plants which stop it being too grey

Like the idea of plants . Should I get rid of the check cushions and go for lighter ones . Also does the mustard look ok or suggestions please. Really at a loss .

I like lighter but then I'm biased as it's what I've done. The plants will make a big difference

Like your room very much it looks so much brighter . Can I ask what size your cushions are I have seen a stone colour in next in velvet which looks a bit like yours but unsure on size thx

Portrait would be perfect for artwork on tbe chimney breast.

Thank you. My cushions are all Matalan. They are in the sale at the moment. Kind of textured velvet

They are 46 x 46

Brilliant thank you are they grey or like a cream/ stone colour x

Stone. I've got a few grey ones in the mix too, and stone coloured throws.

They look really good and bright it has given me inspiration. Would you remove the mustard completely?

I think I would yes. Could you use them in another room?

Not really but I think I might try some plain stone with the checked grey and keep it neutral. I may use the mustard in the spare room . Would you keep the grey rug or change to a natural colour . I am so grateful for your comments

Keep it for the time being. One change at a time

Thanks. Last thing would you mix the check with the neutral plain ? They are a paler grey with cream . You have been so helpful x

I’ve ended up going for a portrait instead of a landscape @mathanxiety you’re right, I think it does look better than landscape.

Room is starting to come together. Have added a couple of (artificial) plants, some cushions, a new picture above the fireplace & removed the clock. I’m waiting for the rug to hopefully arrive sometime this week. I’ve also added a few books to the shelves. There’s a lot more pattern & texture now. I’d like to add some more colour (I’ve chosen green) somehow. Will also buy a new tv stand eventually.

Sounds lovely. Pic when you have finished!
