Help me with my living room

[zombiewasabi]

This is not my couch, but it is a similar color. It proved to be impossible to find the same exact style sectional in this color.




Anyhoo, the only thing I've pretty much set my mind on is this for the tv



I just need help with rugs, maybe a side table, and a console/entry way table. I have also been looking at coffee tables but I can't really find anything and now I'm thinking maybe I don't need one at all.

I've been mostly on wayfair/houzz because they seem to have the most options in my price range.

[zombiewasabi]

I'm thinking this for the entry, but I don't know if the style will clash. I just like the colors on the inside. That's basically the color scheme I'm going for.

[zombiewasabi]

I think I like this rug, but it might be a little busier than I normally go for.

Wasabi, what is it that appeals to you about the TV cabinet? It reads very cottage-y to me and none of your other pieces do.

Maybe something like this

Eleanor Console Table

I think I added this to a wish list, I'm just not sure of the color. Definitely in consideration though.

Also, I know I always say this, but if you don't mind taking a little time to find what you're looking for, I've had really luck with furniture consignment stores here. I've been able to get much better quality for the same price that way.

I had THE hardest time finding a tv cabinet/center I like. If I had the monies I'd do something like this



But I don't know, I like the color. And maybe I do like cottagey things? I could go a lot of different ways. This is why I need help, lol

[zombiewasabi]

Also I asked SO for input last night and he told me to do whatever I wanted. Which is great/infuriating.

I was also thinking of maybe doing this with ikea shelves, but it looks like whoever did this didn't just push them together and I don't know how much work it'd be to make it look seamless

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I need to go look around here.

[zombiewasabi]

The more I look at it the more I hate that rug, lol

A lot of IKEA furniture is made to be put together that way and comes with screws and instructions for mounting them next to each other like that. I know the one we used in our bedroom is that way.

I love this. Also, it looks more like the you I have pictured in my head, and clearly you should take decorating advice according to an Internet stranger's mental image of your decor style.

We are shopping for a new couch, and I really like the sectional you posted. Happen to have a link? (Sorry for the no advice on the decorating)

[McBenny]

What size is the TV?

Do you just want a stand or are you looking for storage there?

Dk you want open shelves or doors?

ah, you're right! I totally forgot about that.

TV is 47 inches I believe. Or 46. On of those 2. 

Ideally I would like storage and for that storage to be hidden, but I'm hoping to buy some decor and knick knacks and what not, so open may not be totally out of the question if I can keep myself and those around me from junking it up

I googled "dark grey sectional" and it came up. Of course now that I'm trying again I don't see it :/

I will Google. Thanks for the tip, and good luck with your living room shopping 😀

That rug is awful. Sorry.

[mykidsgotcurls]

I love the idea of bringing in color, texture and warmth with rugs. Like a statement necklace but with a rug. I hope I don't lead you in the wrong direction.

I agree that you don't necessarily need your pieces to match a certain style. Color and texture are more important to me. Our house is decidedly 'eclectic' and I love it that way.

I'd try to find a console with some hidden and some open storage. It's essential to be able to hide some things away.

I think you need to flip through an IKEA catalog.
