Ok, well apologies in advance, but pics are making the walls look more washed out then they are, and I possibly could have gone one more shade darker in Sherwin Williams...but furniture is dark, and I did not want it to look oppressive.(ignore my recliner, please, LOL--and my couch is not raspberry colored, but deep wine...ugh, limitations of cheap camera). Anyway, I have several Karastan carpets, same pattern, but despite them having every color imaginable, only certain wall colors work with them. I opted for SW "bagel" in LR and "Earl Grey" in DR.--basically going with a complimentary color scheme (orang-ish and blue-ish). Again the DR looks darker in person. The only thing that bugs me is the whiteness of ceiling...but I was not brave enough to do the color on ceiling trend. Beryl, I doubt that this is very much help, but glad to share pics. Incidentally, I have several decorating books from the 80's. I find them much more fun than modern ones in that things like your hall tree, especially since it is a nice piece, could be incorporated in your intimate space by hanging fun collections from it (like funky old hats) or ornate walking sticks in the umbrella holders, etc. I just cannot seem to banish clutter, so I embrace it. ;-)

maybe something like this, across the whole length of the back of your home. But enclose with slats or similar, the bedroom window end, to stop the full summer sun from getting to the window. https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/wynnum-project-outdoor-entertaining-contemporary-patio-brisbane-phvw-vp~130154779

Hi Kieren, a rich, cool sand colour might work. Avoid yellow undertones. I think you’re right to stay away from anything too dark. Or try a pale beige textured rug. Added bonus, it’d be easy to find. A rug that mixes something similar to your couches with a LITTLE bit of green and maybe a bit of blue could also look nice. Accent the room in mid blue too, maybe? Stay in proportion to the room, but go bigger rather than smaller with the rug. Rug retailers will usually lend you a rug so you can try before you buy, which can be useful and some will bring samples to your door. Good luck

I love the couch , and I think it is strong enough to be a feature on its own , but white tiles on their own can look a bit cold . Like the others , I suspect it would look like the entry foyer to a high end office building , rather than a house , so the detail items are important . A large rug , to me , is almost apologising for the tiles , and also risks being overpowering . I'd do a rug similar tones to Julies 1st pic , but depending on the room size , only maybe 1400 x 2mtrs or similar , so at least twice as much tile as rug could be seen . Without seeing your house , style , and overall look , I'd take a stab and say I'd probably match the couch with a larger , gold framed mirror on the wall -- depending on other colours in the room , that may not work , but in a neutral palette that would be my 'go-to' .
