I agree with jmm1837 about the lounge, but I think it might be the hide throw cushions that makes visualisation harder - maybe think about saving those for a different look. Perhaps have the room an ecclectic mix rather than one specific style. Think about light sandy beige (not cream) walls, lighter timber floors, the odd piece of furniture in a lighter timber or that's been limed or even glass topped to keep the room feeling open. Using furniture that has been lime washed and distressed can also work. Because your cowhide sofa's are statement pieces, think about bringing in the beach feel with colour rather than specific objects. You could try using really large abstract art pieces (eg. if it's over a buffet then it have it the width of the buffet, if it's a bare wall then try to use up all the space either using a singe canvas or a triptych) that use beach colours you want to incorporate . Echo the colours of that artwork and even a bit brighter or paler but in the same colour family in your accessories and soft furnishings. You could also incorporate lamps that are glass/beaten silver/rope bases and light coloured lampshades. You might also want to think about a really large fluffy area rug in a light neutral/sandy colour under a glass low coffee table for the middle of your sofa area. On that table you could then feature beachy accessories such as a bowl of shells, a piece of driftwood or low piece of art such as metal fish or a ceramic starfish etc. just keep it simple so it doesn't look kitsch Burlap is great but it can be hard on your hands and sewing machine if your making curtains yourself and doesn't block out light unless your using backing - unbleached calico that is rubber backed is an alternative for privacy if you decide that dealing with miles of prickly burlap is not what you want to do - keep the burlap/calico to give you more privacy as pull across curtains using them to dress the walls on the sides of your windows (makes them look bigger) using a second curtain rod, and use your sheer curtains to give you a beaufiful breezy feel on a more discrete rod (you can even use a curtain wire kit if you're not going to draw the sheers aside). To keep your casual beachy feel think about using large curtain rings on a rod for easy sliding or big eyelets on a chunky rod with distinctive finials Good luck with your project!

I just noticed you posted a duplicate dilemma. After viewing photos of your home, I think the paint colors I suggested are Perfect-AND-DEFINITELY paint the ceiling one of the 2 colors mentioned. When selecting a rug, consider one with texture, subtle pattern, and at least a shade or 2 darker than the floor. Best of Luck!

Hi Robert You have a lovely well lit space as for entertainment cabinets we are loving the Coridoor series BDI Media Cabinet. Having a low lying cabinet allows you to keep your sense of space whilst hiding your home theatre equipment and cords. The Oak Media Cabinet works well with your beach theme too!

Hi Kylie! Megan from Bluethumb Online Art Gallery here. I agree with what has been said above by Kylie Fogarty and others that a large signature piece would look great. It would create such an impact on the room! We have a large selection of original artworks if you're after something a little special. I've found some large coastal artworks that I think will complement the look and colour palette you're using. See them at the curation below: https://bluethumb.com.au/curations/houzz-kylie?s=KylieN My personal favourite for a coastal look, is this artwork by Naomi Veitch: https://bluethumb.com.au/naomi-veitch/Artwork/a-slice-of-pearl-beach I've mocked it up for you, so you can see how it would look. I think the textural quality of this work with the neutral colour palette will really finish off your room. Let me know if we can help you with finding the perfect piece.
