“We just moved into a new home and I need help with placing the existing furniture in our new living room. The furniture consists of a sofa 240x90 cm and armchair 80x110 cm, a couple of stools 50x50 cm each, a coffee table 120x80cm and a low rack 240x45 cm. We also have a rectangular 6 seater dining set 180x90 cm. I’ve attached a floor plan sketch of the living room.

Reader’s question

“I am remodeling my country house and I would like your opinion on what color floor to install. I am thinking about putting down tile that looks like hardwood flooring but I can't decide whether to choose dark or light color. I like dark wenge color but I am afraid the room darkening. Should I go a light blonde floor? The window doors will be of grey/green aluminum."

My space is neutral. What rug to choose?

ADVICE

Reader's question:

"In my living room the draperies are beige (in the tone of the sand) and the walls are white. I would like advice on the color and the patterns of the rug. I am 22 and I want something modern"

Our answer:

From your description we understand that the style of your space is neutral without much color. So, if you want to add something modern and fresh in your space, a good option could be a large rug with colorful strips.

The vigorous colors will add energy and freshness into the living room while the strips will create a geometric, "austere" and modern surface on the floor.
