My house has an open concept (the living room, dining room, and kitchen is in one big room. I have light peach tile in the entire area. My furniture is dark brown.
What color should I paint the walls, and what color blinds should I look into? I like the wood blinds.
Also, where can I find a cushion for my breakfast nook? It’s probably about 4 feet long.
Does anyone have those electric (or gel fueled) fireplaces? The one you can buy from Home Depot. Pros and Cons?

My house is set up in a way that if I want to paint my living room, dining room, and kitchen, I’d have to paint them all the same color. I plan on doing a light brown, tan-ish color, but I’m having trouble with accent colors because my boyfriend doesn’t want any red and our bedroom and master bath are going to be different shades of olive green so I don’t want too much of that.
Also, we’re planning on getting cherry furniture for the living room and a cherry dining room table, and the kitchen cabinets are pine. The floors in the living room and kitchen are hardwood (a little darker than the cabinets), and the kitchen has white-ish tile.
Should I stick to the same accent color scheme throughout the rooms since their walls will all be the same color, or should I change it up a bit?
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

I’m trying to paint my living room and need help with color ideas. The whole downstairs is open, and I want to paint the living room one color and the kitchen, dining room another color that coordinates. We have a bright red couch and bold black accent furniture. My dishes and accents in the kitchen are also black and white. My fireplace is white with creme tile around it. There is also white molding around the living room.
I was thinking paiting the living room a light gray and the kitchen a pale yellow. I’m not sure what colors for the curtains? Do these colors coordinate?

The place is in need of so much work.
Such as;
New doors. Tile for the kitchen and bathroom. Granite counter tops. Stainless Steel appliances. Finished wood flooring and I also want to turn my over-sized bedroom into a living room, and my tiny living room into a bedroom. Not to mention the fact that I have no furniture. Can an interior designer come in and take care of all of those things for me on a limited budget of under ,000?

Hi all. My husband and I live in an 1100 sq/ft house with two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 hallway, a laundry room, small kitchen and big living room. We want to have the whole house tiled with carpet in the two bedrooms. When our puppies were growing up they discovered the worn holes in the old carpet and decided to make them bigger, tearing into them like an Easter Ham. (The house is about 26 yrs old and the carpet is at least 10 yrs old)
We are on a budget and are looking for options to save money on installation and materials. We are looking at tile and carpet that costs about per sq/ft and would like to get it installed by someone.
1) Would we really save money doing prep work ourselves? How much would this entail?: Im imagining pulling up the old carpet, pulling out the wood bits and nails, clearing out all the furniture, sweeping… cant think of what else. Is it worth the savings?
2) How much would it be to get it installed? We live in Bakersfield, CA.
BTW thats tile throughout the house and carpet in the two bedrooms (not carpet tiles)
We have thought about doing it ourselves. Maybe we need to revisit that. We have both laid tile before but not carpet. Id rather leave that to professionals cos I dont know it. The main reason why we wanted to get it installed is because it is the whole house not just one room and 5 professionals can come in and do it a lot faster and easier than my husband and I ever could. It would take us weeks and weeks. But maybe we can get relatives to help.

Hi! I would like to decorate my kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom. I am aweful at it! I have all light wooden trim. The bedroom is painted a light blue with brown furniture. I am putting tile in my kitchen and bathrooms. The bathrooms are painted a light white and the kitchen is a light yellow. I would like to look at rooms decorated and then kind of copy the room I like.
Thanks so much!!!!

I think that the dark tile will help tone the color down and he thinks the light tile will make the kitchen look clean. We also have an eat in kitchen with bay windows and other windows in the back, so there is a lot of light. HELP???

I am looking into getting some new furniture for my apartment. My carpet is kinda off white tannish or something like that and my walls are white. I am just looking to get some fancy but also stay on a budget.
My kitchen is already finished. Also, I do want to get my kitchen floor done. My kitchen is white and black and i dont know what kinda tile i should get. I was actually mopping the floor this weekend past, and its that sticky paper wannabe tile. Can i still get real tile for my floor??? Let me know please, really appreciate it.
Thank you,
bubblez

current appliances are really old, the floor is awful and we have no furniture in the front room, if you could only do one of these what would it be?
the current kitchen floor is 6×6 white tile,
The couch would be in a formal living room(not used much)
Current appliances all work but are old basic ones.

ok it has an L shape with cabinetry from wall to wall and ceiling to floor, wall oven, gas range seperate, double digital door fridge, double sink, dishwasher, wine cooler that sits in a 6 foot island with a chefs sink, and then has a breakfast bar attached to it. the kitchen measures 30′ * 14′, ALL appliances are stainless steel and some of thecabinets have glass doors. THERE IS NO tile granite or real expensive cabinets. everything is just standard cabinets, formica countertops and laminate flooring…so what would you pay BALLPARK since you cant see it?
i know the question is hard but NO its remodeling just for myself not for resale

6 years ago we put in hardwood floors. Unfortunatly, they have become very "distressed" under our kitchen stools.
is there a product …oil or wax..or something I can use to keep them looking better (short of refinishing them or useing tile/rugs) the rest of the floor is in perfect conditions…I have put felt pads under the stool legs to no avail.
