It makes it a lot nicer to 'go to work' when you are surrounded by beautiful things.SDC 492 Emergency Door Release Pull Station, Siren, Single-Gang, Blue, DPDT
Just find something you love and work with the color from there. Since you have such a neutral background this could be just about anything. Even if you don't like that idea I would definitely go with some spot of color. When you are ready to replace the rug all you might need is a different pillow. I've seen blue, green and even orange in several different places, even on discount carts. Since the rug can be expensive to replace, consider finding a pillow in the same design but with a pop of color. In fact right now the room is too neutral.
It doesn't have to match everything else. (1) Change lamp shade shape (2) use filing cabinet as a side table to make multiple use of a needed item (3) consider alternatives to block the view, unless it doesn't really matter to you (4) use non-generic art - something you love. Some of the other suggestions I think are on spot. To pamela, our OP, hope you are really enjoying your location and summer and will come back when fall arrives and changes start to share where you are at!Īnother late suggestion - A home office is usually difficult because you have to balance practical with design (not to mention the price on these things.) I struggle with the same issues in my home office. If you have more than one you like, pick the one nearest to blending in to the stone chimney. Carry those boards into the kitchen itself - let them sit near the window, near the fridge, all around the room. Paint two coats of each on a foam core board. Get sample sizes from HD who will make the bm colors (and it will be pretty close). Look at them in am light, evening light, daylight - let them sit there for a few days so you get different kinds of weather / times of day that you can just look. Your eye will eliminate the ones that clash with the fireplace tones immediately. Go home and put them all against the fireplace and stand back. Get several pelicans however so you can keep your touchstone. Pull every gray paint swatch that is anywhere near to this color and straying darker, greener, bluer, browner gray. So here is what I would do Go to Ben Moore and pull the pelican gray swatch. Look at this tone - Make sure you stay away from true grays / blue grays / silvery grays that will turn blue against the wood in your home. That is going to be dark enough not to look like a sad white (can't recommend white at all here) but light enough to actually lighten your kitchen area from the wood. If it were my kitchen, I would pick a gray tone with a light reflective value in the higher 50's that matched one of the stones in my fireplace rock. Sandra - for painted kitchen cabinets, oak will look fine if they use the right product - a specific paint made to sort of fill the grain - something by ben moore I've heard the pros use. I promise - this is my last post - at least until someone else says something.
Rugs - for right now, try the blue "geometric" rug in front of the sofa-fireplace combo and see how it works. I do think the little loveseats are beautiful, but most of the blues in your room are darker, and redoing the upholstery in some sort of darker blue, velvet-ish fabric would tie them in a bit better. The two pieces of framed art that are there now could be "stacked" one above the other. As for the Dancer, once you move the couch, could you simply move her to the other side of the fireplace? Between the piano and the left side of the fireplace where she would show up beautifully against that simple white wall. See my suggestion above with the open chaise and swivel chair seating configuration. Those bold stripes echo the geometry in the rug that would now be in front of the fireplace. I think - for now, if you try the wingbacks by themselves in a grouping on the other side of the room from that rug, you may find that they work just fine. If you try it over by the fireplace, with fewer other pieces of furniture around it, it might be just fine. For right now, I wouldn't cut down the coffee table. And just to directly answer your numbered questions - 1.
