Charcoal Stainless
help with decorating a living room to coordinate with two other rooms in an open floor plan house?
my house has an open floor plan. the walls are a shade lighter than mustard yellow. my formal dining room is right next to the living room and it has traditional oak furniture and it has a buffet with a charcoal gray marble top. my hearth room is also next to my living room becuase it is right in front of my kitchen, which has stainless steel appliances and uba tuba (ooba tooba?) green granite counter tops along with cherry cabinets. The hearth room has contemporary black leather furniture and black glass tables.
how can i coordinate my living room to look good with both my traditional-style formal dining room and my contemporary hearth room.
please let me know if you need any more information.
any suggestions for stores are welcome. links with pieces that you like from stores like Bombay and Pier One would also be very helpful.
thanks!
The “experts” say pick a color scheme and carry it throughout–sounds like you have a relatively “blank palate” with black leather furniture. If it were me, I’d choose say three colors..and make one the dominant color in each room..and accent with the other two in the rooms.
Martha Stewart would probably say mix textures and fabrics, as wel. Maybe a print (chintz) would be good in the dining room. With black leather, you could do something more shiny (not satin, but something like it?) for pillows. Add a throw, or even a couple of nice artsy sort of pieces. Play off the colors of the chintz in the dining room.
You’ve got mustard yellow walls, green and gray countertops. Depending on your yellow (is it a blue-ish or yellowish yellow?) you could add some shades of green, maybe a rust or blue tones. I’d find a color wheel (like paint stores have, or decorating books) and look at what’s next to the wall colors on either side. Those are your complementary colors.
I’ve also seen some wood items (frames, boxes, shelving units) that are black with a wood reveal..that might be a nice tie-in to bring some of the wood from one room into the black leather/glass room. (Hmmm…I feel like finding a paintbrush myself!)
