It took really roughly 7 months, I had to wait 3 months for the upholstery alone. But it's done, thank you all for the above advice. Bellow is a link to the entire project. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153194374366542.1073741828.607091541&type=1&l=f56f1f0e18

I agree with bringing the chairs in from the corners just a bit -- it will make the room seem larger; but I think the height of the prints is just right -- it makes that squat ceiling look higher by having space above the chairs, and you do not want to close this space. What's wrong is that they are too far apart -- balance the space between the corners and each print ~ in this case think in terms of visually-balanced fifths: wall-print-wall(including decal)-print-wall. It's the faux fire that's brining this room down (have you tried lowering it to the floor?), but Junipergirl is right ~ the room needs to be anchored, and the perfect rug would do that. I too would usually choose something traditional (that's my personal taste), but for this space, to harmonise styles, I would suggest something more modern, and something with texture as this room is texturally very flat. A shaggy white rug (seeing your husband insists on keeping those white walls, and in a space this size I am inclined to agree with him), with touches of the rose-pink echoed in the prints would anchor the whole scheme beautifully. I agree that the finishing touches of a table-lamp (think of that classic 'Ritz/Savoy' pleated shade, in white, with a gold-tone pedestal to match the print-frames, possibly on a very light-looking round Deco occasional table), and an indoor palm - something texturally variagated, not smooth - and I think this room will work very well ... it's much better than you seem to think Gov (I feel very Cockney saying that!), and all the features - except the heater - are good and work well together.

Some re-arrangement of furniture is needed in here I think & colourful art above the fireplace. The furniture pieces are not yet speaking to each other it seems. A subtle coloured traditional patterned rug could be the start of a scheme to unite the pieces with complementary cushions adding softness & more colour interest. The two cushions on the chesterfield are not enhancing it & could be tried on the settee perhaps. Then if the Chesterfield moved to in front of the fire & the settee moved in to that spot with the mirror above it to reflect the window/window seat. Add a potted palm on the right & the single chair on the left side of the window seat for balance. A new coffee table & maybe the current one could sit beside the settee on it's left Then a special piece of art above the fireplace to see as you enter the room & invite you in though it looks like some electrical work to the fire is needed to get rid of the visible cord. With the tv gone do you need to keep the little table it's on or can you use it elsewhere? Not sure if it could go behind the Chesterfield as there are quite a few pieces of furniture in there. Your furniture pieces & room itself are lovely & just need some tweeking so have fun playing with different arrangements & adding soft furnishing layers.

Hi, I have looked at your photos, and with the dark door frames, thought you might like to embrace that colouring? I have attached photo which has colours that are already in your room, that would be difficult to change, ie: door frames. with adding light cushions, rug and artwork, would keep room light. With white shutters on front windows and Painting your dining setting black, as previously suggested. This is completely different to the other colour palette I have previously posted. But, thought I would share my thoughts.
