Pretty Seating Area

wilma — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 17:54:39 GMT

I think this is a pretty seating area.

I like the blue, green, and neutrals in this space. I also like the printed fabrics on the ottoman and pillows. Looks like there's a nice cabinet with drawers on the right. I'm not usually an open shelf person, but I think this one works to keep the space light and airy. The artwork is also pleasing to my eye. Most of the accessories are fine, although I would never put plants or glassware on a fabric ottoman.

Looks like a nice place to sit, read, talk, or relax.

Very feminine and pretty but I like something with more oomph. I too am using a chest as an end table next to my sofa.

The area is inviting and looks relaxing also. I would have a different couch, maybe something in a color to go with the lovely blue walls. Also I do not care for the shelf, that would change.

Very attractive. I never use an ottoman in front of a sofa. They've "pushed that concept to exhaustion".

The origonal idea was "to provide extra seating", yet the ottoman is too close to the couch to allow seating.

My ottoman is not to provide extra seating. It is tufted and hard as a rock. It came with a fairly large wooden tray to put your drinks snacks or whatever and of course your feet. I have it surrounded by two love seats and an easy chair. Everyone can reach it for their feet or the wooden tray for anything else. It came as a set from Lazy Boy.

The color of the wall is pretty. Everything else rather staged or boring.

It's nice but I prefer a little more brighter colors. I love real plants but don't care for them in most prints....in this case, the artwork, ottoman and pillows.

Does anyone know the wall color name/brand? That is the color I want to paint the walls in my sunroom.

I have around 10 different blue-gray paint chips and can't decide which ones to swatch on the wall. Color always looks so different on the wall than on the little paint chip.

I'd give it a 10/10

@River Song

Always go a shade lighter than what you want to end up with.

A room of colored walls appears a shade darker from all of the concentrated color.

The color is a grayed robin's egg blue.

Boy, don't I know this! The color of the sunroom is now a medium green and it's way too intense. It makes me wince, lol. I want a muted blue that is peaceful and relaxing.

Pretty little seating vignette. Like the print, but agree with @ECBG, would prefer to see the ottoman used as an ottoman and an actual table in its place to be used, well, as a table. Imagine that.

@ECBG But it is there to serve food on, put your feet up on, and if it has a lid, to hide the magazines and paper napkins when company rings the doorbell unexpectedly.

I'd like to see a coffee table with a little personality.

I would never eat on an upholstered surface, it seems an "accident waiting to happen".

This seating area is nice with the soft colors. I like the blue wall & area rug. I'd like the ottoman if it had a different pattern. Not a fan of the side table that is cluttered on top - accessories also block the art on the right side. I'm not a fan of open shelving either, but it isn't bad as it doesn't take over the room. Thank you for sharing.
