what color couch/love seat set should i get?

Thursday, December 31st, 2009 at 11:09 am

my fiance and i are so back and forth between two colors – fern or beige

the fern appeared dark in the warehouse, but i’m wondering how light it might actually be once it’s hit with sunlight. i prefer it looking dark

and with the beige, i’m concerned there will be a washout effect in our living room since the walls are white, carpet is light colored, computer desk is tan, bar chairs are beige seats and brown legs/arms, kitchen cabinets are tanish too. we live in a condo, so redecoration is not an option. and the kitchen and living room are open together. and computer is in living room.

our tv is a flat screen which is piano black and sits on a dark brown stand (SO doesn’t match – i know). just throwing that out there.

we do have stuff to hang on our walls, but haven’t done so yet. just moved in about a week ago and we’re procrastinators (plus we have to work)

what would you do? wish i had a link to show you the colors and the couch but it’s not available

With about 20 tables and a bar. Lease amount already known, but what about kitchen equipment, tables, chairs, etc. and some redecoration? It’s about 2000 sq ft.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
