Overall Design Concept:

  • I wanted to make the space feel as cohesive as possible while still giving you a space for dining and living.
  • I also kept everything simple and light to make the space appear larger and more open.
  • Long white drapes that extent from floor to ceiling will make the space feel taller and brighter. 
  • I incorporated touches of black metal throughout all the spaces for an industrial farmhouse feel and for a slight masculine touch.
  • I brought in blues with the accent pillows, accent chairs, and the dining area rug- I know you said you really liked blue.

  • For the entry way I wanted to create an area that served as a foyer in this open concept space.
  • I added a bench with hooks above next to the door  that can serve as shoe storage and a place to hang bags and coats. 
  • Then as you enter into the space a long jute runner helps welcome you into the cohesive open concept. 
  • To the right behind the chairs in the seating area is a console table. Giving you can area to drop you pocket book, keys, mail, etc. This helps continue the entry area into the space. 
  • I turned the blank space on the right into a seating area. Sectioning it with a jute rug. I kept it simple with a console for storage and some mirrors on the wall the make the space seem more open. It also give the allusion of window since there is not a ton of natural light or windows. 
  • For decor I used simple vases filled with stems.

Revsions Notes:

  • I placed you "living room" area in the back right corner. 
  • You can use the sofas you have now. Then purchase new ones later if that is something you want to do. I displayed lighter colored sofas to open the space. 
  • I also grounded this area with a jute rug. 
  • Added a swing arm lamp for extra light. A swapped out the chandelier for a flush mount  light. 
  • I also included this really neat TV console. This bring wood up on the wall and provides a nice backdrop for your TV. 
  • A round coffee table helps break up the boxiness if the two sofas.

Revision Notes:

  • I switched out the sofas for the gray option in those slip cover sofas. This will also give you an idea with the darker sofas you have now. 
  • I also added the shiplap wall for the tv. If you like this option I can draw up some plans on how to build this. I think it would really lighten the corner up. 
  • I also switched out the coffee table for this more rustic wood style table.
  • The floor lamp was replace with a more traditional style. But still swing arm that will provide lighting while seating on the sofa. 
  • I layered a cow skin rug over top of the jute for a rustic look and adds depth and texture to the space. 

 

New Source for Living Area:

  • I placed your dining area where your living area is currently. This keeps the space feeling open. 
  • I used a rug with a fun design in this area, a wood and metal table, with black farmhouse style chairs. 
  • I also swapped out the ceiling fan for nice black metal light for over the table. 
  • I also place three barstools along the back side the the bar. These backless barstools will help the space stay feeling open. 
  • I kept the decor above the mantel simple- black frame, vase with greenery, and a stack of books. 
  • I also added frame along the wall with the window for displaying your favorite family memories.

Revision Notes:

  • I switched out the chandelier for a less modern and more traditional farmhouse style.
  • I also switch out the black dining chair for a textures rattan option. Then place some tufted fabric wingbacks on each hand to soften the place and add some contrast.
