How to decorate living room/dining room together with different furniture?

Posted by admin on August 29th, 2011

Hello there,
I am going to move and my new apartment the dr and lr area is together... at my current apt they are separated..due to that when I got my furniture I decided to not have them matching.... my lv is black and white...black leather sofas, glass coffee table..everything is either black,white or silver.
My dr on the other hand is BROWN!!!! Marble(brownish) table, brown leather chairs..
How can I bring them together without making things look weird? I cant paint the chairs since they are leather..nor paint the table since it is marble ahhh I don't know what to do. in my LR the rug is white,black and grey. I was thinking on buying a rug to put on the DR area something with just one color... I cant paint the walls since it is a rent apartment... what can i do? help please!
thanks

you should make the walls turquoise, and all the furniture white
or just the opposite(:

1] buy a dining area rug in a color [ red, gold, teal, emerald, etc. ] you love; and
2] add decorative pillows and a throw in living room - same colors
3] add small accessories [ flowers in centerpiece, candles or holders, a color in LR paintings ] in same color, lighter or darker shades

A living room incorporates many flowers. the room can be decorated with wild stone or forged metal products. the preference is given to color scale of warm shades with the plenty of semitones and soft color spots.

When deigning a living room, you can use heavy curtains with brushes in combination to easy transparent curtains. Color combinations of fabrics are selected by principle of color combination of tone and semitone. Frequently theromantic style is combined with an ethnic style. in this case, the elements of ethnic style most frequently used are figurines, exotic souvenirs or special ethnic attributes.
