I would go white for the rug. You want it to be large enough that the entire couch sits on it, and covers the floor ending at the point where yourOriginally Posted by ChewToy112
What colour might you suggest for the table? I know I need to get splashes of colour in there somewhere, whether it be cushions, throws, table, new poang cushion, etc.Originally Posted by Supermanblue79
Very nice place. The first thing that I would do is to put down a light colored area rug to separate your living space from the kitchen space.Originally Posted by ChewToy112
Here's a quick snap of my new apartment/studio. Hard to get the angles. Any idea of how to arrange the place, particularly the living area? So hard to conceptualize since it's just a big square...I need some sort of sidebar/low shelving on the sides, I think, and some sort of art. The island behind the couch is a floating kitchen island and can be moved anywhere. Probably need a real coffee table to replace the two side-by-side Ikea side tables. And thinking about getting another poang chair for the other side.
Low profile coffee table next in a color other than black.
And for the area rug, should it be big enough for the couch to sit on, plus all the other stuff? I have no idea about these things

It opens up the whole area where the desk used to be, and could put a small dining table there I guess. I'm just moving things around now for the sake of it. Also, what do you guys think of the storage ottoman in lieu of coffee table idea?

I actually like em closed looks like you could put something over that entrance to accent it a bit, and prob a bit of a far cry but what about taking the wheels off of that island so it doesnt look mobile looks more like its supposed to stay putOriginally Posted by ChewToy112

Thanks man. It's a rental in Vancouver (Port Moody), BC, where housing is pretty pricey right now. I pay $1100/mo, but they were asking for $1200, and other units in the same building go for higher.

Cow slippers
There's actually three entrances for some reason. Two from the hallway, and one big one. I typically keep the doors open. It looks a bit funny closed, because it's two regular sized doors that go side by side, and they have frosted glass in the middle of each door. And I like how having them open makes it seem bigger.
