Hi, I don't think I should have all dark stuff in the attached living room and dining room in my new condo... any creative people out there!
I still have to buy a dining room table with chairs, drapes/blinds for the patio door (in living room), pictures for the wall, throw cushions, maybe a rug for the dark hardwoods. What do I need to do to lighten up the room, painting not an option, the current walls are probably light... should I:
1) buy a glass dining room table with light chairs?
2) I may want a new coffee/end table, should I buy glass for those?
3) Light throw cushions? What should they match, the wall color?
4) I'll need drapes / vertical blinds for the living room balconey door... should those be lighter in color?
Or, should everything be dark? Is that even acceptable by today's decorating standards? I want people to come over and say WOW in a good way.
Any advice is appreciated.
Well, I'm going to assume your walls are off white. then find that third color and decorate with it: cushions, lamps, area rug (yes over carpet if carpet is neutral), somehow in the window decorating such as valence, whatever.
If you want to stay two color, black and wall color, fine. a black and off white or whatever is fasionable, just make the window treatment, throw pillows, etc the same color. make it look like you worked hard to get those two colors to be firends. Coffee table, yes, I'd think a glass table would be in order.
