Thanks for feed back everyone I do mean that the furniture is drab And dark The photo was taken a couple days ago in Melbourne ,so its dark and gloomy otherwise its quite a light room , my walls are creamy and i feel outdated . My husband repainted in the same colour and now i feel like nothing has changed I should of changed the paint colour I have also seen on here white walls and ceiling with painted skirting in white but I'm afraid my husband would have a heart attack if i asked him to do all of that because it would have to go right through the house Im so confused with what to do I do have wooden stairs and balustrade as well So whatever gets changed in living room will have to flow through the house Please help with any ideas

I don't mind it. I think you have the basis for a very opulent room if you embraced it. I would consider leaving the wall paper, but painting the other walls a dark charcoal or navy (whatever the background colour of the wall paper is). I would also turn the tall boy around so that it is against the window wall. Maybe add a nice mirror above it or two small framed pictures. I would get an opulent lamp for the bedside table, maybe something like a Tiffany lamp. And I would get some complimentary bed linen, possibly picking up the pink/peach colour of the birds in the wall paper or maybe the green of the leaves in the wall paper. With the dark upholstered bed head and bench seat, I think you should keep the bedding a little lighter (especially if you paint the other walls). Obviously, a bit of a declutter and general tidy would also help pull the room together.

Yes time for some updates. I painted the table white but had the chairs finished in matt black with a gorgeous velvet fabric from designers guild. It cost a small fortune but was worth it. I've also updated the gallery wall so it's more cohesive and added some new living room furnishings. I'm so happy with the outcome.

You can't trust colours online, so if you order online make sure that it can be returned if it clashes. Your taupe/beige woodwork has a pinky undertone on my monitor, avoid colours with a yellow undertone. I selected dark blue because it's very fashionable, works with the pinky wood, plus with with two walls of Windows and a ceiling fan, I'm guessing the room gets hot. Blue is visually cooling. That's also why I put up blockout curtains and blinds. I think you need sheers too. neutrals work well with that blue, so do the dark reds, berry, brown, as you asked for dark. Also taupe, cream, light creamy pink, which is another very fashionable colour. I would search for metallic lamps if I were you. If it were me I'd choose champagne gold, but there are lots of options. At night it would be good to have that gleam with the dark scheme. let us know in your ideabook and here, which direction you are going to go.
