Comments on: blue room. http://petitelefant.com/blue-room/ a little bit of a lot Tue, 22 May 2012 02:38:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Emilyhttp://petitelefant.com/blue-room/#comment-10248 Emily Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:30:58 +0000 http://www.petitelefant.com/2009/01/blue-room.html#comment-10248 I was so excited to see your post and love that you have opened up your blog for suggestions. I'm just a mom who loves to decorate as my hobby/outlet, and I'd love to comment on your space! I love the wall color! I have blue in my house too, and love it because it's so calming! Depending on the shade of blue, wood pieces with a painted black finish or pieces with dark cherry/walnut would look great against the walls. I suggest a small/cheap flat screen above the fireplace. Two comfy chairs flanking the fireplace. A loveseat in the middle of the room facing the fireplace. A sofa table behind the loveseat for drinks and decor. A collage of family pics on the wall with the window. And a narrow long desk and chair on the other wall. A small ottoman in front of the loveseat for kicking up your feet or a spot to play games. Looks like a great room with lots of possibilities! Enjoy! I was so excited to see your post and love that you have opened up your blog for suggestions.

I cannot wait until I live in a place that I can paint. <br /><br />My only suggestion would be to maybe ditch the couch and add 4 single chairs... unless this is your main TV viewing area, then I'd switch to a love seat and two chair. <br /><br />You could always just throw a bunch of love sacs and banana chairs in there.<br /><br />Sorry... i am no help!

You could always just throw a bunch of love sacs and banana chairs in there.

Sorry… i am no help!

I say two love seats, and a focal point over the fire place like a large mirror or piece of artwork (you could just prop it on the mantle or you could hang it). End tables, but no coffee table, with lamps to tie things together. Maybe an arrangement of family photos over one of the love seats, either hung on the wall or propped on shelves. On the other wall, maybe do a mirror or artwork, whichever didn't go on the mantle. Good luck with the carpet! I'm sure you'll pull it all together beautifully. I happen to love blue.
