Project Description
LOOKING FOR FULL DESIGN OF OUR LIVING ROOM/GREAT ROOM

My wife and I, and our two kids (6 and 10) moved into our "forever home".

This house has a beautiful living room (great room at 18’ x 20’) with 20' ceilings and recessed lights above, with 2 rows of large windows. We are planning on using this as our primary living space with guest entertaining and watching TV and family time. There is a fireplace, but we were thinking of mounting the TV on the wall adjacent to the fireplace (75" TV) and having a soundbar below it. Perhaps a media console below the sound bar.

The living room opens from the foyer with a beautiful spiral stairway via a large archway and the large windows are opposite to the archway. On the side opposite the wall of the fireplace, it opens seamlessly to the kitchen with a large island and a breakfast area (not formal dining).

We need help placing our living room furniture (sectional vs couch, how many accent chairs? what color theme, what accent pieces etc). We love elegant clean design with an open space, clear uncluttered lines of sight. We think our style is contemporary design without being mid-century modern (I would probably say between traditional, transitional and contemporary). Understandably, we have difficulty figuring out what our style is although we can show you interior spaces that have been designed in a way we love. We love neutral tones for the main pieces with pops of colored accents (earth tones, warm tones or pops of blue or green) in the accent chairs, pillows, artwork etc. We do not need help with the breakfast area although that is connected via the kitchen to the living room.

This living room, is currently completely a blank canvas for you. The only thing I cannot change is the paint color. Feel free to suggest everything – including change in light fixtures/ceiling fan. One of the challenges of this room has been its low natural light (due to windows being slightly tinted and the windows facing north). We therefore repainted the walls a light tone (Sherwin Williams SW6364 Egg White) and this has really brightened up the space. The floor is an espresso colored hardwood. Keep that in mind when matching complementary colors.

We would like to work with a designer who understands traditional, transitional and contemporary design well and can help us maximize the open design of our living space, while elegantly furnishing and picking accent pieces, lampshades/lighting, area rugs, and everything else. We are VERY open to suggestions. We cannot always articulate what we want because we cannot visualize things easily but when we see something we like in a 3D model or mood board, we can definitely recognize that we love it. Our problem is articulating what we like in words such as contemporary, tranditional, transitional or modern. We don’t care for old fashioned large pieces with flowy design, big florals etc, and we don’t care for ultramodern sleek designs that look like the 1950s are back. We love, for example, a lot of designs we see in builder’s model homes when we visit. If you think my characterization of our design style as “contemporary” is incorrect, please feel free to modify.

We want to put a lot of effort into this room since it is our principal living space. I have created an inspiration board with some designs that I like (https://pin.it/vndhveelzz4mao) to give you some guidance.

Because this is our first time doing online interior design, we would prefer to not do custom furniture (because we cannot return it if there is a problem and we would have to sink a large investment with no return if that happens). We are very apprehensive about going this route with decorilla but the myriad of positive reviews your company has on Yelp allayed most of those concerns.

I have also made a short narrated video where I walk you through the space and show you some of the challenges I have (https://youtu.be/M1F811YAZRc). If this ends up being successful I am hoping to then work with you on the living room and dining room space as well.

Neutral
What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Morning light
What do you currently dislike about the room?
Great room windows are tinted limiting natural light (which only occurs in the morning). I have brightened up the room by repainting the entire house in Sherwin Williams SW6364 (Egg White). It looks brighter now. I want to preserve the brightness of the room while introducing some design, accent and color.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
None. We are open to changing any of the light and accessories. No furniture is in the room right now. We bought this beautiful gray cabinet from a furniture sale. Not sure whether it goes here. If you can find a home for it in the living room that is great, but if not, I can also place it in the foyer or elsewhere. I have not picked it up yet so I don't have a picture of it from the side.
Are you open to changing your wall colors?
No
Are you open to changing your floor covering?
No

Living Room:

Since your room is large your color options with this room are quite broad

For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.

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
