Barbara Griffith Designs Could you give us a picture with your back to the window so we can see the rest of the related space?

Barbara Griffith Designs Would it be possible to see your furniture pieces that you will use in this space?

Luxurious Finds If your furniture is chocolate and the space is large, you need to choose an accent color - most rooms do better with 3 colors - main color, secondary color, and an accent color- such as cream, brown and blue, or cream, brown and red (pillows and area rug colors) - accessories will make the space pop. If you need more help call Luxurious Finds 407-923-6784.

Barbara Griffith Designs When you have monochromatic furniture, I always suggest a colorful patterned rug, or in this case rugs. Once you choose rugs, colors for walls & ceiling will be much easier. They will also have to be quite large in scale. Rugs that you like are hard to find..there are thousands of paint colors, so always choose your paint last.

patpm to de left is the kitchen and to the right the bedrooms

patpm I had chocolate, with accents in orange and purple but I want to try another combinations

Barbara Griffith Designs What an absolutely fantastic space! Will this space be, dining area..conversational area..TV watching area? Define each space by a very large rug. This is the hardest part, but to me it needs to be the first step. These rugs could all be the same...or, if not at least related. You will also want these rugs for sound absorption.

Dining room on the left..you will need a very large impressive light fixture, and on the side wall, a long high solid credenza/console to be used as a serving area (this could run almost the length of the wall.. on the one end nearest the walk area, I would use as a bar area, even with shelves, wine rack over it at that end. Maybe centered with the light fixture a tall wide framed mirror. The other end very large art over it on the wall..Am I going on too much..just say so.

patpm as I´ll have plenty of space.... would you use perhaps 2 livings in the same area????

Barbara Griffith Designs I think I would do dining on the left, group seating in the middle, and TV unit, storage..shelves, doors etc on the far right wall, with a seating group aimed at it.

Barbara Griffith Designs Both of the side walls need to be "used up" in other words, filled with furniture and bulk that goes up the wall and/or other items..it will balance the wall of windows, while fantastic, overpowers the room.

Barbara Griffith Designs When you get to the paint..last item...paint the walls & ceiling all the same color..it will visually raise the ceiling height to give the room more balance, rather than long and low.

Barbara Griffith Designs Above, I stopped after describing a dining area because I didn't want to bore you if you had no interest, but if you do, I will "march" across the space. You see, I can see the space completed..and it is spectacular.

patpm I really appreciate all the help you´ve given me! now I know how to start, thank you to you all

patpm please don´t stop comments.... it´s fantastic to hear from professionals

tsal What a wonderful space and nice view....
What style of design do you like? Modern, minimalist, traditional? It really depends where your tastes lay what options you might choose.

patpm love modern style!

Barbara Griffith Designs Well..To the far right wall start with filling the wall space with storage and place for your TV, again add large art , shelves, etc. Large rug..arrange your furniture to the TV and conversation..keep it cozy. I cannot tell from your picture if you have matching sofas, if yes, only face one to the TV and the other back to back with it into the middle area with 2 more lighter chairs opposing it.

kayellin Some large trees/plants would look good in this space...they don't have to be real. Hope to see it finished!

bollmansct Love your view!!! what a spectacular window view..... I suggest you go rug shopping first. If your furniture is minimalist, then you can add a large rug, perhaps with a simple but bold splash of color. Find something you love. Then you can pick complimentary wall colors from there. With chocolate furniture you have lots of color options. Since you have done orange/purple, try blue....perhaps light blue or steel blue.

bollmansct Also - you have a great canvas in those walls for some large art pieces, if you have them. A grouping or a few large ones would be wonderful.

Fedor Construction Specialties, Inc I would add more, but Barbara Griffith Designs has given you a lot of great ideas! What an awesome view, too.

Julie Thome Draperies, Inc. If you were going to do anything on the windows, I think ripplefold sheers would be a knockout. Motorize them if you can...

JMittman Designs Agree with Julie Thome Draperies on the windows. Below is one of my favorite pics on Houzz. Perfect for your windows. Fabulous space!

rinqreation Turquoise, white and chrome. They will liven up the chocolate. What a space!
