What Houzz contributors are saying:
Victoria Harrison added this to Houzz Tour: Bringing Colour and Fun to a 1930s Home in Southwest London
This is the original living room, which was extended to create a larger and lighter living space. Moroccan motifs come through strongly in the metal-framed side tables and bold, tile-influenced prints behind the sofa.
Natalie Wain added this to Ask a Designer: How Do I Create a Concept for My Redesign?
Identify subtle influencesA good interior designer will take a theme and tease out the subtle influences that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. ‘If a homeowner decides they’d like a Moroccan theme, it’s the interior designer’s job to pick out the key concepts – what they like about it. So rather than painting everything orange, I’ll look at the shapes, the way things interact with each other – it’s about the subtleties rather than what’s obvious.’
Jo Froude added this to Living Rooms: How to Choose Your Perfect Coffee Table
Know your vintageThe right coffee table can really complete a living room. If you’re after something from a particular era, keep an eye on antiques shops and online auction houses. Remember, there will be plenty of occasions when you will be sitting contemplating your table, so dodgy replicas just won’t cut it!
Ruth Garner added this to Decorating: Simple Ways to Bring Art Into Your Home
Echo pattern from the roomTo further enhance a pattern or feel within a room, consider hanging coordinating prints on the wall. For a quick and easy solution, you could even frame cuttings of wallpaper. Then you can switch them over as and when you fancy a change.
Jo Leevers added this to Decorating: How to Inject a Little Palm Springs Glamour into Your Home
Combine yellow and blueThis scheme matches key shades of Palm Springs style, placing palest lemon yellow against a gentle turquoise. The geometry of the rug works because it’s generously large and the colour is repeated again in cushions, accessories and artworks.
Kate Burt added this to Architecture: How to Fall in Love With Your 1930s Semi
Build a chimney breast‘The 1930s fireplace often sits against a flat wall rather than on a chimney breast,’ says Hannah. ‘This means it’s not as much of a feature and can look like an afterthought in comparison to those of earlier eras.’ Here, the original fireplace was removed and replaced by a stepped, limestone surround, which echoes Art Deco aesthetics. A shallow chimney breast has also been added to the previously flat wall to give the fireplace more prominence.And if you love your original? Embrace it. Try hanging a vintage mirror above it so the eye is drawn up and away from it, and make sure your colour scheme complements the typically pastel ceramic tile design.
Joanna Simmons added this to Decorating: Weave Some Magic with Trellis Patterns
Fade awayTrellis patterns can be boldly graphic, but they can also look subtle and muted. This gorgeous rug sports a large-scale trellis design, but the washed-out tones mean it doesn’t dominate. The pattern is also picked up in the artwork on the walls for a nice feeling of balance.
Kate Burt added this to Ask an Architect: What are the Hidden Costs of my Renovation Project?
Party wall awardIf your project requires any work to your property’s party walls, you will need to have this award in place before starting. For example, if you are planning a side extension, taking out a chimney breast – to create more space, or to install an electric fire, say, as in this updated 1930s living room – or creating a roof extension, this needs to be worked into your budget.Explore more ideas for renovating a 1930s semi
Joanna Simmons added this to Styling: 10 Easy Ideas for Improving a Period Fireplace
Replace an originalNot all period fireplaces appeal today, so consider taking out any that look unattractive. Rather than lose the fireplace altogether, though, replace it. Either find another original you like from the same era, or go for a contemporary replica of a period piece that perhaps combines traditional details with modern lines. In a 1930s house like this one, a crisp, clean design would fit in particularly well, since even the most classic houses of this era carried a hint of Modernism in their design.
What Houzzers are commenting on:
Matching without being matchy-matchy: In this room the coffee table and side tables are seen at the same time, a completely matching set would be twee so choose designs that have a common thread - the same colour metal frame as here, for example - but then look for subtle differences such as contrasting top surfaces and subtle detailing such as the pattern on the side tables.
