Living Room & Dining Room - Knotty Pine?
My living room is about 22 x 16 and 3 of the 4 walls have knotty pine. Long wall with front door and large picture window and two small walls. One wall also has brick fireplace (no mantel). The shelf at the fire place is stone or slate? It makes my living room so dark and old looking. I dont want to paint it but to remove all that will take a lot. The stain is rather dark and all walls wood is in good shape except the small wall has knicks in it from a rocker or something.
My one wall in the dining room also has this... None of it goes with what theme or style I would like to have... Dining room is currently baskets and americana colors. the only thing I can see that works with that is the lines in a basket. Living room, I like the Victorian look, antique, whites, washed colors.
What is the best way to brighten it up?
Cover it in a colored vinyl ... just follow the contour of the wood. Staple it in place. This will not damage the wood and will give you almost a 'painted' look. Vinyl is easy to wipe clean and comes in tons of different color. It is like apolstering your walls. It works great. You can choose different colors for the different rooms.
Then... for the rest of the room... add prints of light colored things. Art on the walls, accent pillows, throw rugs, window treatments... Just go with bright light colors. The print will add interest and the light colors will add light to the room.
