One of the things I am challenged by when decorating my house is how to make the rooms seem light and airy when all of my furniture is dark. I went so far as to paint my walls yellow in 2 of the main rooms in the desperate attempt to lighten things up.
Some shots of my living room.
The yellow walls have brightened things up but there are still days when I wish I could change all the stained wood to creamy white. I know all you painters out there would encourage me to do just that. I think I'm going to start with one piece and see how I do.
Here are some very lovely rooms that are light and bright yet have dark furniture.
I just love this room. I could sit in it all day. |
These slipcovers look like they wouldn't be too hard to make. Watch out Miss Mustard Seed! |
This is my inspiration for my dining room...I would love to add fabric to my chairs. |
I think it's interesting that there isn't a rug under this table. Not having a rug makes the room look bigger. |
So...do you have a trick or two to lighten things up?
By the way...check out the chandeliers in some of these pictures.
Great inspiration there as well.
