Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jun 01, 2009 8:55 pm Hello guys I am new here. I was looking in this forum for advice on what type of furniture would go in this house. My partner and i just bought our first house and it so happened to be that the living room is all wooden. Now i would really like advice on what type of table, what type of lounge and perhaps any other furniture that would fit the house. The furniture that is currently in the house is of the previous owner. Thanks.

Or possibly painting the ceiling and walls? Yeah i would think that getting rid of wood or painting it would be a much larger task for which i have no experience at all. Re: Please help with furniture in the living room 5Jun 01, 2009 9:49 pm If you are keeping all the wood and want a contemporary look ......I would probably go whites and solid colours - white or glass table white chairs - solid coloured couch eg red or a nice blue with again white sides/coffee table and colourful accessories = good thing about this sort of furniture you can get it at the less expensive end and the high end. I would keep away from wood and anything yellow. Just my opinion - post us some pics of finished product. Good luck Re: Please help with furniture in the living room 6Jun 01, 2009 9:50 pm What sort of furniture do you own? Modern……country?

Re: Please help with furniture in the living room 9Jun 02, 2009 1:55 pm I agree with blue steel Whites are the way to go!! I think white leather couches would look very nice. definately keep it modern and light and fresh. Whites and light green accents would look pretty.

I found a photo to show what I mean. Even though you have a lot of wood, special one off pieces made by a local cratsman could look stunning in the right spot. I like the use of solid, muted colours like cream, grey and olive green.

As suggested, go for a light fresh colour for furniture and stay away from more wood. And throw a couple of light coloured plain rugs on the floor to break it up a bit too.

Re: Please help with furniture in the living room 13Jun 03, 2009 3:10 pm Chearsey I like the idea of the white lounges but are there any other colours that would go with all the wood? Solid colours would look fine - greens or reds, some blues - not too bright as the wood is very bright itself Re: Please help with furniture in the living room 14Jun 05, 2009 12:06 am So guys any more suggestions on the type of table? I was thinking of perhaps a solid wood table, with wooden chairs that have white seats. However for decoration the table has a white or other colour tablecloth, so you can't really see the wood fully.

People can give suggestions but i think we have already made our mind up. i think we've decided to go with creamy white for the lounges and wooden dinner table & chairs with creamy white padding. we'll definitely post photos up one we've bought everything and have settled in Re: Please help with furniture in the living room 16Jun 14, 2009 10:34 pm bluesteel If you are keeping all the wood and want a contemporary look ......I would probably go whites and solid colours - white or glass table white chairs - solid coloured couch eg red or a nice blue with again white sides/coffee table and colourful accessories = good thing about this sort of furniture you can get it at the less expensive end and the high end.
