If it does appear too dark to you, Kruti, I suggest dressing the bed in white or off-white bed linens, and it's ok to vary the layers of bedding with diff hues of white/off-whiteas long as they complement each other. You can introduce texture too with cushions and throw. It's a beautiful bed and brown tones seem to suit you very well, so go with it. I think you are doing a great job with your new build. Very best wishes, Kruti!

Another thought is if you still feel things are too dark, you could consider a rug under the bed, in a solid off-white maybe. If you plan bedside lamps, perhaps look at white or light bases with white/off-white shades.

Most importantly, choose what pleases you. Cheers.

Thank you very much Annb1997!! Once I arrange I will post photos.. very excited !! Next week will be over the moon.

Hi Kruti. Your furniture and window shades look lovely. The rug for lounge room needs to be large enough so all front feet of sofa sit comfortably on it, and also so it extends just beyond the arms of sofa. This will cover a large portion of your tiles so perhaps a light neutral textured rug. I also think a textured throw and cushions will help balance the smooth surfaces of sofa and your gloss white TV unit. The blanket under the ottomon is pretty-is this one of your favourite colours? If so, you could look for cushions and art with a hint of this colour.

Will your ottomon serve double-purpose as coffee table? It is certainly large enough to accomodate a large tray with a few items on it: glass vase with flowers, a scented candle, books or a potted plant (child and pet safe) perhaps.

I always think a couple of largish baskets are practical for storing toys, throws & cushions, magazines, and they add so much texture to a room.

The Blanket I put under the ottomon was temporary to avoid scratches. Need to buy some rugs.

I could also eventually see a large pendant light in your lounge room. Take your time and have a good look around before committing to any decor. It's important that is represents your very own sense of style and are items you truly love. At the moment, I'm decluttering my new house...it's amazing the number of objects (vases mostly) I purchased for my previous home that I'm now donating. The collectibles I'm hanging onto happen to be German pottery and vintage pieces, and I'm adding to my collection of old and new baskets (I frequent our many local op shops). If you happen to sew, knit, crochet or macrame, these skills are useful so you can create some of your own pieces.

Kruti, do you like Persian rugs or are you thinking a more sedate style? Have you seen any you like?

is this will be to traditional for the lounge room ?? Do you think we should stick with Modern touch ??

For your bedroom, I would have a rug large enough so it extends beyond both sides of bed and the foot of bed, but it doesn't have to fit under the bedside cabinets. A soft shag rug would be luxurious, but a thick wool rug would do nicely as well. I do recommend shopping from a store so you can see and feel the texture and quality for yourself. Have you seen any you like, and if so, which stores?

Wow, Kruti, I like that pendant. It reminds me of Murano glass pendants. I wonder how that would look hanging over your dining table? I'm not sure it suits your lounge room, however, a pendant with black elements could look modern and striking. Do you have a photo of your dining room you would like to share so we can get a better idea?

I have not started looking for rug yet ? needs to start soon as was very busy with Unpacking

We do not have the pendent light option in the dining area and dining table is not delivered yet. we would like to have the pendent in lounge for sure. If you find any please suggest I can look similar to make it easier

Ann I like more sedate style rugs. Any suggestion for the Melbourne stores

Those are lovely rugs; where are they from?

Carpet call

Both would suit your spaces, I think. Are their sizes suitable?

West elm has some striking lamps (for your bedside cabinets)...round base perhaps to soften the lines and edges of furniture? I'd look at the table lamps as they will be taller and better for reading and more proportionate to your room.

Gorgeous!

That is a beautiful traditional chandelier. Which room is it for?

Hahaha OHHH sorry, Kruti! It is a striking design and the silver trim will go nicely with other elements in the room (sofa feet and TV surround). Are those drawers or cabinet doors on lower section. Will this storage space suit what you need to store, such as dvds, electronic components, etc? What is it made of? Are you happy with the quality? These are things I look at when sourcing new pieces for my home.

Hmmm, I tend to agree. It’s is a startling contrast to the wall and tile colour. I think the marble one will be closer to your colour scheme AND is a much more interesting design. What will you do with the white one; can you return?

Have you thought about how you will arrange your surround sound speakers on the marble one?

Personally, the marble one is much more stylish in its material and design, which seems more your style.

Oh darn, eBay, gumtree are ones that immediately spring to mind. I haven’t heard of FB marketplace, what’s that?

Speakers can be wall-mounted if you have wiring already in walls.

Speakers on stands would be good too, if not pre-wiring in walls.

It can be really difficult finding just the right furniture for a new house. You want to get everything exactly right for you and your style. We all make buying miscalculations and regret after the fact. But there are only two choices: live with it and make it work or cut your losses and find something else. I admire that you are cutting your losses!

Did you find any rugs yet?

Yes, it is a striking table!

Hi Kruti. Those new pieces are lovely. There’s a houzz article in Stories about how to decorate a console table. If you select Stories, then Interior Design, then Decorating, and then type ‘how to decorate a console table,’ in the window, the article should pop up. I think you will find it very helpful.

Beautiful vase!
