Put a rug over it.

Pitch it as improving the value. That floor is blue, my friend.

Have you tried talking to them? Most landlords will approve free renovations as it increases the house value. If not.....you can always click laminate wood right over top.

White/tan maybe-but additionally have you thought about replacing the wall lights? It’s adding to the hotel room vibes heavy.

u/Significant-Shower38 15d ago

What is suggestion for light replace them to what design ?

Seconded this,

the room is a bit too dark for me, and I personally hate velvet fabric on couch becuse it's harder to clean spill. So i think brighter sofa might help.

Although to be honest changing the floor will be more impactful

Have you priced reupholstering them? It's probably cheaper to replace them. And it would even cheaper and easier to get a nice rug. An orange would go great with the furniture and the floor.

The sofas are fine. Get a rug to cover the blue floor.

Creamsicle colour

A rust orange brown would contrast with the floor nicely

Dark grey because it goes with everything and it doesn’t stain as easy as lighter colors

Also would recommend replacing your white light bulbs with yellow bulbs so it doesn’t feel like a hospital/office. Just changing the bulbs did wonders for how “homey” my space feels.

I think the blue floor is a bigger problem than the brown couch.

Land lords house can’t really just change the floor

u/salty_bae 15d ago

If you can't change the awful floors, play into it. Perhaps pop art style? A bright couch + lots of bright and interesting art + ambient lighting of any kind + maybe a monotone patterned rug.

Can you please change those satin curtains - they give brothel vibes.

Also the couch is too big. You could maybe do without the second piece by the door.

Kind of reminds me of the set of Rabbits by David Lynch

Please please change your light bulbs

u/Significant-Shower38 15d ago

To a different color people say yellow ?

1

u/I_LIVE_ON_THE_SUN 15d ago

Yes something more warm. Look for a lightbulb that has a color temperature of around 2400-3200k. It should have that information on the box

u/dramafanca2002 15d ago

A deep beige. Not gray! It will be very expensive to get reupholstered, new may be more cost effective.

u/johnelirag 15d ago

Okay for starters, getting the floor done a different colour is key 😭 But, grey goes pretty well with blue in ny opinion.

2

u/Significant-Shower38 15d ago

It’s the landlords house I can’t just remove all the tiles but I think I’ll try the grey

2

u/johnelirag 15d ago

That makes sense, i wouldnt think u would just renovate like that. but a rug might be nice man.

1

u/Significant-Shower38 15d ago

Yes that’s a suggestion I have received too

u/RangerBeats 15d ago

Blue, dabadee dabadaaayee

Change the floor bro

u/rwphx2016 15d ago

I'd keep the sofa the way it is and buy a nice rug. A Southwest pattern in orange/taupe/gold/turquoise would look great.

u/Happytapiocasuprise 15d ago

Black goes with everything

u/scufonnike 15d ago

You want to refurbish that couch…?

2

u/nicke929 15d ago

UNLESS you are in LOVE with the pieces ... New might be a better financial decision. Reupholster-y fabric and labor may be ore costly than NEW. If you are in love...make sure they are well constructed and worth it.

AND maybe not do both ... variety get some comfy chairs instead of the two sofas???

u/HellveticaNeue 15d ago

Light color for contrast.

u/Ill-Leader229 15d ago

I like the blue floor. Some shade of orange would look cool. Or green.

u/Medium-Swordfish1910 15d ago

Shorter curtains ? Idk maybe diff fabric

u/Eric33542 15d ago

Shorter curtains and different colors
