Open plan decorating ideas
Hi, help needed pulling my plain open plan kitchen together, feels like it's lacking colour. Don't like clutter & living in Queensland, don't want to feel any warmer. All suggestions welcomed thanks.

5 år sidenI like Julie's ideas but also the colours of the artwork above the hallway table are great with your decor - maybe you could look for a bowl or similar item that picks up more of those colours.bigreader

5 år sidenHi there! What a lovely home - we would agree with bigreader, rugs would definitely help soften those hard surfaces and can add another element of colour to tie the room together - one under the dining table, or one in front of the lounge, or both!
If you're trying to avoid adding warmth, try to avoid rugs that have a deep pile and opt for low pile woven or tufted options. Another thing to consider is the materials of the rug - soft fibres like bamboo and silk are cool to the touch as opposed to materials like hemp which have a "warmer" feel underfoot.
In terms of colour, I noticed you have accents of green in your chair upholstery and artwork - try to keep to cool greens or blue/greens to offset the warm wood tones.
A few suggestions:

Forfatter5 år sidengreat input everyone, thanks for your suggestions. Designer Rugs- Will I be able to put 2 different rugs in the room or should they be matching?Designer Rugs
5 år sidenHi there! So sorry for the late reply! They don't necessarily need to match, but keeping the style similar would be a good idea - art deco paired with art deco, contemporary with contemporary. If you do go with a matching design, you can always customise the colours or even the scale / placement of the design so that you have rugs that complement eachother but are not exactly the same.
