Hi, beautiful room, would you consider a parlour Palm in a feature pot, reminds me of the era that you would see that sort of plant. I like the above idea of art work above the sofa.

I look at this room and straight away thing mirror/silver and sparkle! I think you need a modern chandelier/light fitting or even a large sparkling modern lamp in the corner. I agree that a large print in black and white above the couch or even add a large funky mirror. Nice room!

I would change curtains to a black colour and walls to a white colour with black skirting and black cornice. Extra warmth could be added with a electric/gas pot belly. Mounted tv on wall with mounted storage above and on sides would also make the room feel more open spaced. Consider a plush rug in black only to tone down the couches and cushions have either some black and white with some just white and some just black as well to help with toneing. Maybe use plush just black/white cushions to blend with the plush black rug.

I would replace the curtains with a regency stripe pattern, but then the throw rug would need to be changed to something more classic. I agree with others, you need either a large gilt mirror or a piece of artwork on the striped wall. Also, as suggested, some greenery in the corner.

Well, for those who know me, be assured I am choking as I say this, but I would love to see pale grey silk finish curtains. I feel the creamy colour just undoes the whole finish. Sorry if they are new curtains - can you use them somewhere else??

Then follow ASV's side tables, lamps and an amazing piece of artwork, add wuff's parlour palm, but don't stop at one and finish with a floral arrangement on the coffee table.

Looks like you're going for a monochromatic look, but for now it's all very grey (grey couch, grey rug, grey cushions, grey wallpaper) so you need stronger accents of black & white, black to give it more depth and white to brighten it up (could just be the photo, but looks a bit dark) and then add some bling with silver & mirror accents, which I see you've already done with the curtain rods and coffee table legs (love the marble top btw)... so my suggestions would be:

1. Put a large mirror framed in black (silver will wash out against the grey wallpaper) e.g.

2. Looks like a bit of $$ was spent on the curtains so no need to change, but make them stand out by adding a thin black border to the sides (or a thicker say 40-50cm black border at the base) e.g.

3. If possible get a bigger side table (as the current one is completely lost in that corner) and a higher one too (as it sits too low compared to height of arms of couch) and place a nice silver or mirror base with black shade table lamp, e.g.

4. Get a rectangular black & white (animal print my perso fav) ottoman and place it at the open end of your living area, which will frame and zone the space but still allow easy access on either sides as well as creating extra seating when entertaining, e.g.

5. Remove a couple of the current cushions (too much of same-same) and add mix & match cushions, a couple of black & white ones to pick up the ottoman and one or two white faux fur ones to add a bit of glam (even add a white faux fur throw as suggested by ASVI) again same e.g.

6. Group some objects, pots, books, candles and/or flowers/fern (for warmth) in the same colours of black, white, grey and silver and create a nice little vignette on your coffee table, e.g.

Move the couches forward from the wall to just cover the rug. Add a large table lamp, I'd replace the cushions with more textured and coloured cushions, Not necessarily matching. Interesting coffee table books. Large ornate luxury mirror on wall.
If you take the photo to your favourite furniture store, maybe like Minkz Myers?? They will have someone that should be able to help.

I think Pazz's no. 6 comment is on track: for me, your room is too impersonal; it needs a bit of you in there, either through artwork that you like (maybe even enlarge some photos of your own?) on the wall, plus some books or magazines or favourite items of your own on the coffee table. Something that makes it look a little less showroom and more your room . . . I am envious of your magnificent couches - make sure you spend plenty of time using them!

I think there is too much going on, the rug is your statement piece. The cushions clash with the rug, you need to tone down with different coloured plain cushions. Charcoals, grey, white, even a throw rug over the side. Books, fresh flowers/ candles or greenery on the coffee table. A silver lamp would add glamour without over doing it on lamp table. A mirror above the couch, a silver side stool with a couple of books lying on top. Move the small lamp table to the other side of the couch, perhaps put a large plant in corner or even add another lamp(standing).

Sorry, whatever you paid for them the cream curtains have to go. Needs a BIG green plant, as has been suggested and just to loosen the whole thing up a couple of Flamingo cushions. The room is taking itself much too seriously and you need some, just a few, elements to relax it a bit. Would also suggest a less fussy coffee table.

Dear Nataline, what do you do in and when do you use your "formal" living room? Ps I live in a one bedroom flat.
