How have you got your lounge decorated ?

[golds]

looking for ideas on what to do with mine, things that are set are wooden floor (oak) and cream settee's thats it, oh and Ive bought that lovely picture from Ikea, misty road I think its called - room is about 24ft x 13

Like being nosey as to how others have theirs decorated, looking to steal some ideas TIA

oak floor
cream walls
cream curtains
laura ashley rug in cream and duck egg blue
one chocolate leather couch
one light blue couch
flowery poster above mantle
bright pink/blue ornaments and big rhino on mantle
bright cushions from tchibo in pinks/blues/yellow
thunderbird rockets placed all over rug

Cream and brown walls.
Chocolate brown leather sofas
beige/browny colour carpet
few pine framed pics
seagrass tables
wicker stool
beech computer desk

we have
carpet the colour of a malted milk biscuit,
deep cream walls and curtains,
one brown leather sofa
one textured cream sofa and footstool (washable slipcovers )
cream furry cushions on the brown sofa
two brown velvet and two cream/red/brown applique cushions on the cream sofa
beech cupboards (for dvds etc)
small beech tables for lamps, cups of tea
two monochrome batiks in light wooden frames
watercolour of Southerndown in a cream mount and narrow aluminium frame (wedding present - very beautiful)

they all sound lovely, think brown and cream is the way to go, wondering what colour to add to that, dh thinks orange

I'd hang fire on the accent colour till the big things are in place - you may find that you have enough Stuff (pictures, vases, plants etc) not to need specific accents. Orange sounds nice though.

We swap cushion covers when we get bored - have some v good red velvet ones (Peacocks) that we use in winter to make it feel more cosy.

Ours is awful! DH did it before we were together and we haven't changed it since

Blue and cream striped wallpaper
Manky looking blue carpet
white woodwork
black leather sofa with blue cushions

and....

Burgandy curtains - I really should get some new ones!

Dark wood floor
Black leather sofa
Oaky coloured tv unit and matching sideboard
Cream and brown accessories
Main wall painted chocolate brown and the other walls cream

Have ye olde beams and fire so everything goes IYSWIM.

I vote for adding some red. Could you paint one wall, like the chimney breast? and add some detail like a cushion in the settee and some ornaments in orangey, reddish?

we have cream walls and a red carpet - goes really nicely together but unfortunately the carpet clashes with the beige one in the hall!!

Dirty cream/beige carpet. Creamy wicker looking texture wallpaper (sounds yuck is fab) Curtains in terracotta, cream, brown, greens etc (eg patterned stripes) One sofa terracotta, on chair tapestry weave, one sofa (v manky will be replaced) in Navy covered with throw. Antique afgan rugs on floor, piano and bookcase covered with framed photos. Pretty Shakespeare watercolours on walls.

Sounds horrid, but it is really OK. Not to 'done'. Personally I don't like the decorated look IYKWIM. My rooms 'evolve'
