Comfy Living Room Transformation Project Description
We've worked with Decorilla in the past with great success. We'd like to try the process again for entire home in Manhasset.We would like our Manhasset home to be designed in a more traditional/transitional style. The kitchen, foyer, and dining room wallpaper are staying (thus we would like to ensure we dont clash with the wallpaper in these rooms in the rooms we decorate). All runners, rugs, and window treatments are being removed so we look to decorilla for guidance on these items throughout the design process.
We are cost conscious...as we are doing a renovation on this home in some areas and plan on doing the entire home with decorilla. Thus- we would prefer to stay around 10K on this room but the absolute max is 15k. If we go over on this room we will need to cut our budget on other rooms.
I have a daughter and a fluffy white cat who sheds a lot of white hair...thus we are looking for durable materials in our home (thus we need fabrics that hold up/especially on the sofa or seats that will be used a lot) - also we need rugs that won't show stains if possible.
I want the room to feel warm and inviting. This will be the main room we hang out in with our family as well as with guests (it really should be called the family room- not living room). I love texture, different fabrics etc. we would like to have a comfortable couch in the room as we plan on using this room a lot (as well as somewhere to put our legs up- ottoman pouf chaise etc).
I am keeping the fireplace but want to take out the tile around the fireplace (hopefully decorilla can make a suggestion). Also- I would like to replace the window treatments as they are extremely traditional. I am ok replacing the sconces around the fireplace too (would look to decorilla for suggestions).
We do not plan on putting a TV in this room and do not need any additional storage as we already have bookcases on each side of the fireplace that can be used for storage.
We are not exactly sure what color palette to go with in the home- we do know that the wallpapers that we are keeping are ivory/taupe/brown and whites. We would look to decorilla to help us with this-we do like neutrals but are also ok with a pop of color if u think that would suit the room well. We do like blues as you can tell from our other house but also like ivories, grays, browns etc. We are open to suggestions on a color palette for sure!
One thing to note is that I like things to match - look like that go together (have cohesion).

Room Label
First Floor Living Room What do you currently dislike about the room?
Room feels dark to me. Also the existing decor is not exciting or fresh. It looks dated and old to me. I don't like the tile around the fireplace or the sconces. What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
We plan on keeping the existing wood floor but are open to area rug. We are also keeping the bookcases but open to painting. We are keeping the gas fireplace but would like to replace brown tile around fireplace. Are you open to changing your wall colors?
Yes Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?
Paint Are you open to changing your floor covering?
Yes, Area Rugs Attach a floor plan

Living Room:
Since your room is large your color options with this room are quite broad
For your main color, we chose to use blue because it is calming, relaxing, and serene. It ris reminiscent of blue skies and deep blue oceans. This color works well in bedrooms and can help turn your space into a soothing sanctuary.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
