What style and color curtains should I use on my bi-fold doors?
I love the light that the doors let into the living room, but I'd like to add curtains for privacy and to warm up the space (literally and figuratively). I am happy to move the couch away from the window to allow space for curtains. The right panel of the door needs to be easily accessible at all times.
The couch and floor are gray, so I'd like the curtains to add some color. I'm not sure which color would go well with the artwork and the rug and since the curtains will cover basically the whole wall, I don't want to get this wrong! Thanks in advance for your advice.

Unire sala e cucina ridefinendo gli spazi
(6) commentiBuongiorno Alessia, credo che il solo modo per modificare il disimpegno che non vi piace, senza fare grandi lavori di muratura sia spostare la porta (sala-disimpegno) verso la camera da letto e recuperare così un nicchia in cui realizzare un armadio a muro o un mobile che diventi una dispensa; occorre però valutare bene le dimensioni della nicchia prima di procedere e sicuramente ti occorre un progetto di un professionista per fare un intervento del genere. Per la parete vetrata divisoria tra cucina e sala invece possiamo proporti alcune soluzioni in vetro e alluminio, con uno stile di design moderno e minimal, ma che possono anche essere realizzate in colori e disegni personalizzati. Per le modifiche alla disposizione della cucina, conviene valutare se è possibile modificare quella esistente o se è meglio realizzare qualcosa di completamente nuovo e su misura, possiamo realizzare entrambe le soluzioni essendo produttori di arredamento. Allego qualche foto di esempio delle pareti vetrate, se vuole approfondire ci invii i suoi contatti saremo lieti di chiamarla per valutare insieme le diverse possibilità.... mostra di piùParere terrazzo
(6) commentiCiao Karin, dal mio punto di vista ti metto una pulce nell'orecchio sulla scelta delle piante. Se lo spazio è sestinato a bambini, giochi e momenti di riposo e conviviali, sembra che tu abbia scelto tutte le piante con le spine più "cattive". I vasi sono molto belli e le piante ci stanno bene dentro, ma non so se ti ruberanno spazio utile.... mostra di piùArgomento resina
(17) commentiFinestre enormi, color noce scuro, pavimento gray, Tortora... per la parete attrezzata avevo in mente un mensola sempre noce scuro dove appoggeranno camino e TV. Divano centro stanza sempre dal colore neutro, magari in tutto spezzato da un tavolino probabilmente dai colori arancio-ruggine.... mostra di piùDivano davanti al termosifone
(2) commentiBuongiorno, avrei bisogno di sapere se è l'unico termosifone della stanza. Se si, ovviamente sarebbe meglio lasciargli un pò di respiro in modo tale che l'aria calda possa uscire e circolare. Se le dimensioni della tua stanza lo permettono e non c'è un altro posto dove mettere il divano, cerca di tenere il divano ad almeno 50 cm dal termosifone.... mostra di più

12 anni faWhat i see is a modern sofa and classic black chair that work well together...but not on the super traditional carpet. The coffee table is another style as is the painting. I suggest the art, carpet and table be traded for something else, go shopping and find a lined fabric panel that you like and buy enough of them so they are double the width of the wall. put the curtian rod as close to the ceiling as you can. Adjust the panels so that there is an opening at the door you use and put one of those metal curtain holders on the casing so you can open just that few feet of opening and it will work. If you sew then you can find the perfect fabric. super large scale florals are the trend this year.....pick a color from your drapery and do pillows in it or them. You need color in your space so what an opportunity here for you. The carpet is way too small and picture way too high. And too small really for behind the sectional. Love the doors and looks like a good space! Post after pics so we can see :)

12 anni faI would change the rug, the art on the walls and the window treatments. I would play off Barcelona chair and make it make sense. I would use the art with visual dimension to create depth on that large wall and use a couple of those, not one. I would use simple geometric otomans instead of the coffee table.

12 anni faUltima modifica: 12 anni faThank you for the replies so far, they definitely have me thinking!
I should have been more clear in my original post -- that coffee table is definitely going to be replaced, as are the light wood table next to the sofa and the black and brown chair in the foreground.
The living room is part of an open plan design that also includes small dining area and kitchen. I've added a photo taken from the kitchen. The kitchen has dark wood counters and glossy white cabinets, as can be seen in the island in the foreground of the new photo. We plan to replace the light wood dining set with dark wood and chrome, and to get rid of the bookshelf. I still haven't decided what to do with the rugs scattered around the floor.
One of my ongoing dilemmas is that my husband and I have inherited impressionist paintings, persian carpets, and antique occasional tables, but our taste runs towards clean modern lines and/or moroccan/indian inspired pieces. I'm trying to find a way to blend these various styles. We have so many persian carpets that I can't justify buying a new rug, so I'm trying to find a way to work with what we have. Unfortunately the one near the couch is the largest one.
Thanks again for all the great ideas!

12 anni faWell, this picture helps more. Then remove Barcelona chair and put it in a different location in the house, warm up the room with wood rods and nice panels made of earthy tones, I would do almost solid drapes. group a couple of art pieces over the sofa eg. objects, eclectic, cultural pieces and put the existing painting on the opposite wall. Put the rug not so straight but a little angle. If you need a chair by the TV, use something within the existing style.

12 anni faI like the barcelona chair and oriental rug together. You just need a more eclectic drapery fabric to make sense of the look. I love the classic element of the painting juxtaposed against the more contemporary couch and chairs. I'd suggest a more ethnic/eclectic styling - maybe an ikat pattern on the panel curtains. I would suggest beige/peachy/gold tones you have in the rug to warm it up. A more ethnically inspired coffee table could bring it together better. Brunschwig & Fils has some beautiful Ikat linen/cotton prints that if you had made into custom window drapes would be fabulous and tie together the look. You could also add a couple of pillows in coordinating colors - some plain, some geometric, and something classic like a floral or chintz to tie in the disparate elements.
I have had a couple of clients who had a modern aesthetic who inherited heirloom rugs and art work and had to incorporate them. Just moving the stuff to another room doesn't solve your problem, it will just create a problem in another room. And you just can't throw away all that great stuff.
Hard to tell color of the rug exactly, but here's a few fabrics from Bruschwig and Kravet that I think would be nice...

12 anni faYou have and are you are also so very fortunate to have beautiful carpets and art. The carpets and art should be the focal points in every room in your home. Egads, not the drapes! Choose drapes the color of the wall and let the drapes blend into the wall. Allow the drapes to serve their utilitarian functions of adding softness to the wall and both kinds of "warmth" to the room. You have beautiful art-objects you want to draw attention to, not the drapes. If you had a huge room, some drape pattern might be appropriate even with the carpets and art, but not in smallish living spaces. You were wise to choose a gray sofa and black chair so the carpets and art can be the stars! I love all of your furniture. I think the Barcelona chair is great right where it is, and I like the 2 black chairs diagonally across from one another. I see an unusual chair to the right of the TV. An "odd" chair like this one can absolutely make a room! Not only for sitting, but as a sculptural form of art. Sister Parish (one of the best designers ever) said these were "personality chairs" and she thought every room should have one. Try placing a few books on the chair to see if that looks better than the pillow. The carpet in front of the sofa, I think would look better if it was turned the other way, so the fringes were pointing to the bi-fold door and the dining room. I have many Persian carpets and I love them scattered about the floor (I even have one in the kitchen) and sometimes I hang them on the walls. Make templates of the artworks and masking tape the template forms to the wall above the sofa, I think a cluster of this fine art would be wonderful as a grouping, rather than scattered here and there about the room. Your rooms are wonderful with the combining of the old and new!

Many ideas for Persian carpets http://www.houzz.com/persian-carpets
On sectionals I usually use only 3 pillows at the corner, I think the look is neater. Art grouping over sofa, don't hang art too high
