opinions please!

I have purchased a new sofa which is a light creamish/grayish color.

I am looking at getting 2 of these chairs to put in the bay window. They are brown and the cushion is not attached.  What do you think of them?

This is the rug I picked out.

Do you think these curtains would look good?

  • I like the curtains! The brown/teal combination is really hot right now, so I'm sure it will look great.

    The only thing that might be a little off is the sofa, which is hard to say without seeing it. I wouldn't recommend something with a gray hue to go in a room with so much brown. But if it leans more to the cream-ish side, then it will look great.
  • Everything looks great!

    What style is the couch?  My one thought is that the rug and chairs are a bit more on the traditional side of a transitional style and the chairs are a bit more modern end on the transitional style.  While I think it is possible to mix pieces with these styles, it's not for everyone.     
  • I really like the curtains and the chairs.  I worry the rug might make the room too dark -- what color walls do you have?  I think the rug is really nice if your walls are a lighter hue.  Also, I am having trouble imagining the couch.  The couch color sounds odd with the rest of the design, but it might be that I am imagining the color wrong.  Overall everything looks nice. =)
  • Okay - going off what I've seen in your bio.  I love your couch.  Is it a sectional?  Will it stay in the position it is, or will you flip it to make room for the chairs?  I like the chairs, but I would replace or recover the pillows to make them tie into the color scheme more.  Your couch and walls are both very nuetral so you want to play up that blue.

    The rug will look great off of your floors I think.  I would worry about it too much.  Especially with the white trim.

    As long as the nuetrals in the couch and walls go well with the blue in the curtains (which I think they would) then I think you've got a lot going here.  I would go for some accents (whether it's pillows, or glassware, or art) that are an even more saturated version of the rug and curtains, to make everything "pop".  And with that great slate in the Kitchen/DR, it will all coordinate.

    Overall, I really like it!  And I love what you've done with your condo altogether!
  • Okay, I just looked at your bio....

    I think everything should be fine -- the chairs will complement the couch well, and the curtains should look good.  I would introduce another color for accents so everything isn't too matchy.
