That give me a good idea of what to look for. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483970 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:59:53 +0000 .twist. 483970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Thanks! I always forget about cream as a neutral. I often go straight to the darker colours, but cream would probably look really nice. </p> <p>I definitely want to de-clutter the mantle, I just don't know what to do with it once I take everything down. I plan to do a nice photo collage over the couch once I get our wedding photos printed, but I just haven't done that yet. </p> <p>What colour of wood (or metal??) end tables would you do? The coffee table was stained to match our kitchen cabinets (not my choice!) and I hate it! Our kitchen is on the other side of this living area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483965 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:58:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 483965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I would probably hang a white curtain. Ether plain or with some small brown detailing. Something like these: </p> [attach=1198/13/mg7wpv.500x500.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483959 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:55:49 +0000 HLK208 483959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: For curtains, definitely something neutral, like a cream because of the darker surrounding colors. I might add more lighting to the room, too. I would add an end table for the couch and a matching end table next to the chair with pretty, big lamps and candles, picture frames. And maybe declutter the mantle. I love your fireplace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483953 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:49:52 +0000 Bao 483953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I agree with the curtains, it would really pull everything together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483951 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:47:54 +0000 .twist. 483951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Would you do a colourful curtain? or something neutral? I have no idea how to bring colour into the room, which I think is obvious by all my neutral tones! hahaha... </p> <p>This is my least favourite room in our house. I don't like the plants or the furniture, but we have nothing else so I just have to deal with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483948 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:43:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 483948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think some curtains would help it look more finished. You could also hang a picture or art over that small table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483939 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:34:22 +0000 .twist. 483939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I despise the plants but my husband loves them so I let him keep them. I have no idea how to make them look.... nice... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-really-need-some-decor-help#post-483935 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:32:02 +0000 .twist. 483935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey everyone, I'd totally like some advice or insight on what I can do with one particular wall in my house. </p> <p>It's a north facing wall, with a huge window, I'm kind of at a loss as to how to decorate it with furniture or pictures or anything really. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry the one photo is so dark, the lighting is just so crap and I couldn't get a better photo. Also, sorry for the clutter, I just took down our xmas tree and don't know what to do with a few things until I figure out what to do with the room. THANKS! </p> <p>North wall that I'm so stumped by: </p> <p>[attach=1438/13/mg7vhh.600x448.Downstairs-north-wall.jpg]</p> <p>Other side of the room (lighting is much better, but a little cluttered! (Sorry!)</p> <p>[attach=1438/13/mg7vhf.600x448.Downstairs-south-wall.jpg]</p> <p>Don't even get me started on the mantle! It's a disaster! </p>
