I like casual but elegant furniture. I'm trying to decide if I'll like this set. The people at the store think it might be too formal for my taste, but I think it looks kind of country. Thanks for any advice.

It's sort of a "queen anne meets the country cousin" style. This is actually a poorly conceived furniture design; it looks like it's trying awfully hard to be a formal "Queen Anne" set (the turning of the legs, the dark mahogany etc), but those horizontal slats on the chairs are pure country.

This is not casual in the least ~ it's the chair backs that are giving you the illusion of being a country set.

My husband and I are in the process of purchasing new living room furniture. He is currently deployed and I'd love for him to come back to an amazing new design in the room we use most. I'm currently working on all the designs [dining, master, and guest bedrooms] with great success but I cannot seem to find exactly what I want in the living room. Our styles conflict [my own style even conflicts itself at times!] he is into contemporary spaces where as I'm into "livable" spaces. I like some country decor without over doing it but I also really like contemporary decor.

It's just so confusing. I would like to create a room that's functional, easy on the eye, and meets both country, classic, and contemporary styles. I don’t want a room that is just “thrown together.”

Do you have any ideas?

Do you know of any websites that have the purpose to design a room--not just the layout?

Thanks for your advice!!

No offence against Danish design but... it's just not my thing. That being said, I am living in Denmark and having a very hard time finding good quality, more traditional solid wood pieces. In particular, I am in the market for a dining room set, including a china cabinet. I think a style that I am drawn to is considered old Swedish farmhouse type furniture. Can someone please direct me to some furniture sites that offer a little more than what is typically found in most furniture stores in this country? I'm trying to make a home here that I feel good in. Would I have better luck searching in Jutland versus Sjaelland?

We have had the same problem looking for a sofa and chairs, most on offer seem to be the type you would find in a office waiting room, not very soft. we were looking for something you can sink into rather than perch on!!!

Have a look here based on Fyn

We are purchasing a 1977 styled home. The home is 1020sq. ft with cathedral ceilings (which my husband wants to lower and make a regular ceiling.) You arrive in the entry way immediately into the living room to the left, dining room strait ahead and kitchen to the left of the dining room. There are currently partial walls up that we will knock down to make one great big space for all the rooms. Now, this home is soooo different than what I am used to and would like any suggestions on open floor plans that you may have. All three rooms are on the small side so open floor plan will make it seem more spacious. Upon opening the front door, after walls are knocked down, you will be able to see all 3 rooms at the same time. Any tips on making a really comfy new home for us and our 2 girls? Also, I was thinking of a white kitchen to match my current table and chairs. New livingroom furniture country/cottage style with white end and coffee tables. There is a fireplace with all brick on the far wall . Once walls are down, half the wall will be brick for the entire livingroom (which I don't like) and then the kitchen is just drywall. It will look really bad half and half. Just trying to give you an idea on what it looks like. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions!
These walls are not all the way to the ceiling. They just stop a few feet under the cathedral ceilings. They are not load bearing walls.
The brick is a yucky brown/tan that I want to lighten up to a white. Now, we don't know if it is actually real brick or just the fake stuff. If it's real brick, we won't remove it but if it's not, then maybe we can do something about it. My hubby really wants the ceiling gone for heating reasons. I did express the concern of the first answer, and I too think both of you are right about keeping that ceiling but I know he wants rid of it though. I know it will visually make it smaller so I figure that if we lighten the space up with light colors ( I was thinking of a light sage green ) and all white trim, touches of bead board in the kitchen and light ceiling. The dining room has a patio door that looks out into all woods behind it. Great view. It is a small house I know, but great location and neighborhood..all one level. Oh, what if that brick is really brick. Is there a stain or paint to lighten it with? Maybe, he will change his mind about the ceiling once we get it?Thanks

I would keep the ceilings and put Tong and groove pine boards on it. Stain the wood a bleached white. It will go with your colors and also open up the space to make the room look larger. Paint the walls in a lighter color maybe a blue or green (but very light) You didn't say what kind of brick the wall was, what color is it?

If it is real brick I would keep it and talk to a home improvement center to see what you could paint or stain it with. We installed a large ceiling fan and keep it on low ( it has a remote) in the winter It really helps with the heat problem and looks nice too.
