I think you need to stay neutral to ensure that your couch and room colour are cohesive. The odd colour out ... that pops out at me when I first look at your photo's is the silver around the wooden TV cabinet doors. I would suggest long term (if you are keeping that furniture) that you try to incorporate more of that colour into the room to add balance...... but back to the couch. I would go fawn / beige colour and then you can add colour back into the room with cream / dark brown tones in cushions and maybe a casual throw. Alternatively if you repaint the feature wall from brown to a darker shade of grey I would go with a medium grey couch which would also match in with the silver on the TV cabinet and then you could put a lovely textured silver / grey floor run between the couches and move your coffee table to the centre of the room / rug.

Thank you all! Fiona, the tv wall mount would be very difficult to move..this would be a last resort. Old house = asbestos = wanting to minimise major wall alterations! As for putting the chairs on either side of the kitchen door, I tried this before, and did just again, (I'm a sucker for punishment) and it probably would have been a good look, but the front door opens into the chair on the left side of the kitchen door/opening (on the left side when faxing the kitchen). There is a very limited space here, and the door swings through most of it, it is kind of dead space. Although a long narrow table along the wall was my vision for this area - a place to pop keys etc and put some much needed decorative features. The only other variation I can do is to angle the chairs slightly from where they are now, so that they angle in towards each other (with the one closest to the tv facing slightly away from it. There's only two of us and when we have people over we generally aren't watching tv (we don't watch much at all) anyway. So what is the overall verdict, after all that? Do you think we can still achieve an ok look with the configuration we have, perhaps with a different couch and all the decorative features previously mentioned? Or do I have to sell my chairs too? Although not keen to do that, I would if it means having a room I'm happy with. Thanks again! I have felt very supported by you all during this very stressful weekend of managing a decorating crisis!

I have two dark grey sofas and I am eager to lose them as I can't find anything too complementary for the either! They seemed like a good neutral tone at the time but being dark they have showed up lots of stains (young kids). Your question was cut off but if you wanted to add a rug or furniture, I might suggest an orange/rust tone or even a red? But the colours of your walls will have a big impact... Hope this helps. :)

Hi Danka90 , great advice from Tracey and Inside Out Colour . My concern is that you like the style of the Scandinavian Room Styles that include soft neutral tactile fabrics, and yet you are considering a relatively " hard'ish ' leather ( or Chinese PVC ) large wide corner sofa that will be very cold in winter and possibly sticky in summer . Of course you may want to add a furry cosey throw blanket over the leather , but then you might as well buy a fabric covered sofa is the first place maybe ? However, the first concern is the room size being able to fit what looks like a 3metre x 3.5metre corner sofa suite . Maybe you could find out the leather sofa's actual dimensions , then create newspaper cutouts of it and place them on your living room floor . Cheap way of avoiding expensive trucking costs . :-) Good luck Danka Cheers LAADP
