Dressing up the Living Room Posted by Another Boo Boo by Bachie , Monday, July 12, 2010 at Monday, July 12, 2010, in Labels: decor

I've been scratching my head for some inspiration to do up the living room of my soon-to-be new home. Lately, I kinda fancy the look of a black & white french/venetian inspired home. I may not be able to fully achieve the look due to budget constraint...but what the hell, just go with the flow and my FEEL...Did a mock up (an ugly one at that) of one side of the living room. Let me know what you think, k. If it's ugly, feel free to speak :)

Please allow me to clarify...I don't have proper designing tools (even if I have, I won't know how to use) to express my thoughts...so I used PAINT software to create this makeshift mock up. The black thing straight ahead is going to be a dark mirrored chest of drawers. Above it, is going to be a mirror...on the chest of drawer, I am thinking of displaying 2 silver candle stands (of different height), 1 white colour bird cage and 1 black laquer lamp, probably plus a pot of orchid if space permits. The white stuff at the side of the chest is supposed to be a chair. Preferably one that is french looking. to the other side of the chest is a pot of indoor plant. Next to the indoor plant, I intend to paint (scribble-paint) a black/white/grey themed artwork on canvas.

What do you think? Should I leave the hallway clean or should I make it look busy? I kinda like my idea, do you?
