The colour of your couches is now back in style. The orange of the woodwork should be darkened one shade with tinted teak semigloss varnish.

Thanks for the opportunity to look at your room and think about what I would do. It has been fun.

I think the round coffee table will work if it is large enough for everyone seated in the L sofa arrangement to reach it. (Bonus is no barked shins from sharp corners on a square one.)

I agree pale colours like yellow won't do much for bringing about a changed more modern look. The room needs more drama and freshness and I think that currently the room has too many colours in the pale range and not enough contrast. I would go for introducing more of the stronger colours in your attractive tribal fabric, including black and white. Black in particular will allow you to really update the look. Consider painting the bookcase or even the doors black. (The existing coffee table would even look good painted glossy black.) Some plump cushions in the tribal fabric and others in a bigger more graphic design in large red and white zigzags or stripes say, would add to a more integrated look. Your bright yellow pot plant holder on the bookcase is another colour in your tribal fabric which would look good in the scheme as a minor accent, say, more pots that colour in a larger size, a big vase/artwork or lampshade. My advice is to stay away from golds and beiges as they relate to older fashions. A large framed in black graphic print on the wall in black and white (or even photo with meaning to you) could be an idea to think about too.

If you are going for a modern look choose the grey circle coffee table

good luck xx

You've got a lot of different styles happening in your room. My advice is; neutralize. Find a rectangular clear-glass top coffee table. Perhaps one with fairly fine section timber framing and legs, which will provide a greater sense of space between couches and also match the construction of the glazed door I see in the background.....

Find a dining table you like, the right shape and size and just chop its' legs off (or find someone with a ruler and the right power tools to take the legs off with a degree of precision).

I know that Freedom and Oz Design among others both have square coffee tables in their catalogues, and I'm sure there'd be others out there, so don't give up. The alternative, of buying a second hand square dining table and putting new legs on it is also worth thinking about.

I'm not convinced about the tribal look, mainly because the colours of the fabrics don't seem quite right (but that could be the photographs making the sofa look more pink than it is). I'd probably go for something with a more rustic tribal look with those sofas, too - more Afghan than Moroccan, if you know what I mean. As for the rail, you could simply paint the wall (or paper it) in a single colour.

Thanks for comments. Been away this week so only just getting back to this. Sofas are definitely cream/beige and rug is a beige too. No pink!. Overall however there are too many warm/yellow tones in the room. Love the burnt orange and teal idea but not sure it blends with rest of the house.

The coffee table is on hold till I find something suitable and in the mean time I've changed the furniture around so that a square one is not so essential. Also found some cushions that I think may go...tho it seems I am unable to load the photos...
