Hi dodotecture, I think this room needs something interesting in that corner to create a focal point on entering the room. A light could be enough but considering there is no art in there either I would suggest something different.

What about keeping the simple colour palette and adding a feature screen

Whatever you choose it must be something that makes you feel good and want to go in there, not just for show. Good luck finding that key piece, whatever it may be, Louise :-))

Something vintage would really add character and interest (and would both go with, and pop against, everything modern). I think an old dark wood standard lamp with a large drum shade (either in white to blend more with your modern pieces, or a bright pattern for extra oomph) would look fantastic!

One or two pendant lights (hung at different heights) from the ceiling. There's extra wiring cost but looks so dramatic. It/they need to be big enough to make a statement.

Agree with the 2 light options but I think a larger floor rug would also help tie the room together.

or as julienewans said a larger floor rug or pull the lounges together away from the walls.

I'm saving 3 litre (YES! crankyanker program - it IS spelt "litRE" NOT litER") rectangular olive oil tins with their beautiful, decorative paint jobs. By leaving the handle and the screw top lid on and removing the floor of the tin, then fitting the latest in cold light globes they'll make spectacular light shades and won't get hot! Thinking outside the square is great creative fun - try it - you may come up with an idea to make you stand out from the crowd!

Hey dodo_tecture,

The room looks much better, love the Arc lamp and Egg chair.

Is a pot plant possible in the corner,

dodo.. YES those colours in the cushion would be perfect. imo

These might work and on special at Early Settler still? $14.50 each is not expensive, try Freedom too they have specials all the time & throw out bins every day because they change their stock with trends regularly.

Bring in a colour, too much flat neutral is going on. I'm loving Tardis Blue. It's on trend, and you can be a Time Lord!

I still think the rug needs to change, it seems from the photo that it's the wrong tone (or could be the photo?) the lamp is lighting up the coffee table but the coffee table which is bare (not sure the I coffee table is right for the space, can you expand the circles?) the addition of cushions, plants etc to add some life, possible to tie in a new rug with some colour or design.

@dodo_tecture I do like how your lamp choice focuses the room on that unique coffee table. Clever. I do think Julie (above) may have a point about the rug. But it's not an urgent change before a housewarming.

Dodo, you have good taste in blue.

Yes Dodo, a plant (palm?) in that corner would be nice not sure about pot colour but will bring some life and a focal point to that corner.

Have you found cushions & maybe a throw yet?

Look up their care, if you know what they are called.

I agree with the larger leaf plant too Dodo, it will be the life of the party!

White or charcoal pot will work nicely.

I hope you get some lovely house warming gifts and look forward to you telling us all about it :0

I really like your cushions too!

I like the plant dodo, no cushions yet though? The layers are what will help bring the room to life, plant - check, lamp -check, cushions - ???, art - ???, soft throw - ???

Pieces to the puzzle is all that's missing. Don't you think the plant adds something compared to before?

Dodo I prefer it next to the lamp because it draws the eye into the room in that corner & then the lamp becomes the next focal point, if you have a simple medium white pot it will complement the beautiful circle table. Then you have created a scene with three circular elements, the table the lamp and the pot all relating to each other in some way (shape, colour, line of sight/position. The plant seems lost behind the sofa and is disconnected therefore it does not contribute to the overall scheme. :-))) .

That pot should be just fine dodo, the contrast of the black lamp base against the white pot with the green plant filling the blank space in the corner, not competing but complementing the lamp.

I thought a metallic pot to match the lamp?? maybe could also be a little larger than I showed.

Hi again dodo_tecture,

They are unusual & I wondered about which wall you are thinking?

If they go on the side wall next to the cupboard with a console table in the nook with similar items & some colour plus a complementaryl painting on the wall going up the stairs they could work ;)
