Need design advice for home in coastal FL
Hi, I have a home in coastal Florida and need design advice for living room. LR measures around 20x15ft. It has original terrazzo floors. I'm stuck! Don't know where to take this so suggestions are so appreciated.

I need help with updating the curb appeal of the house.
Comments (16)Perhaps a colored door if you paint the home grey. Maybe Red? You could simulate a color change on door by hanging something over the door that is the color like a tablecloth or piece of fabric. If you search houzz for" grey homes", you can see what others have done. My home is painted Cape Cod Grey with white trim and it has been very easy to live with for years. I have a dark grey roof....See MoreCurb appeal indecision... advice please!
Comments (91)Sorry I am so late coming to your site - you are an inspiration to all, homeowners and advisers alike. For your planting advice, I suggest you call Merrifield Garden Center to see if they will come out your way. They currently have wonderful garden centers in Merrifield and Fairfax (both in Fairfax County) and a new one in Gainesville, but they may come further south to wherever you reside. (www.MerrifieldGardenCenter.com) Even if they don't send designers to your area, they are worth a trip to see their huge selection for a day of pleasure and inspiration, or to pick up some plants. Most of my clients are in the Fairfax and greater Washington area, but I am currently living out west below Front Royal, VA on the Shenandoah mountainside - wonderful views. cascio.offsite@gmail.com...See MoreDecor advice for bedroom
Comments (16)OK - I'm a beginner here on Houzz so my opinion isn't worth a lot but here it is: the room is a bit bland and lacking in character. I think you have to find some pieces you really love to bring it alive. All the suggestions are good for widening your horizons, but ultimately, you need to find things that matter to you, because it's your home and not a magazine photoshoot. That said, if it were me, I'd throw a couple of small, colorful rugs down, and put either one large painting or three smaller ones over the bed - not in a line but at different heights - to break up the binary look. I'd also put something on the wall above the heater. Then, play around with a few cushions and maybe a quilt that picks up some of the colours in your artwork....See MoreAdvice on roof deck needed
Comments (7)No your roof can't support that weight, it's designed to hold the weight of shingles only. You will need to contact a structural engineer to come up with a plan to support the additional load....See More

2 months agoWe might suggest moving the sofa to where the loveseat is and placing the loveseat facing the TV area. Making an L shape might make the whole space feel more like a TV room. You could even look at moving the TV to the wall where the loveseat is now and place the loveseat where the TV is now. Please see our designs below for more ideas:

last monthHave you considered a different layout? Placing the sofa facing the TV and having two chairs instead of a loveseat might help make the space easier to work with. Please see a few of our designs below for more ideas:
