it's ok Oskuee, I still haven't really finished the lounge, really? this is a great website, I can refer back to comments and advice for future reference as well. I definitely want to find a nice light/s for over the table, I just don't know what will look good, I have been scouring houzz and a few other sites trying to find something that might suit and perhaps improvise with as well with a similar/replica? I still have a couple of pieces by the dining table I want to sell or swap? as I had my eye on a beautiful 2mtr long 1mtr high buffet, but for $3000+ (perfect dimensions and look) Which hides all the dishes and glasses and a built in hidden wine rack : ) I couldn't justify spending that much so have an empty space waiting for something to come along? I have even considered trying to build my own? but don't want it to look banged up either? hehehe

I actually think you are on the right track with your colour scheme of browns and blues - see the photo I've attached that has a 'spa and gold' colour theme (found on 'howtodecorate.com') your lamp would tie in with this colour theme, and your sofa is 'gold'. This colour scheme looks elegant but also relaxed and I think would suit the style of your house. Would you consider painting your wooden panelling a pale blue? This would add the weight to the lower half of the room that Sian mentioned and add subtle colour. From what I can tell from the photos, it should work with the wall colour, although the walls could possibly be a bit lighter. I would move the mirror to above the fireplace (I think perhaps it's too large where it is) and add some artworks to the walls (in gold frames). I agree that a coffee table would be good. I think the rug you already have will work if you just add some some cushions and throws in creams and blues to the sofa to tie it in. If you purchase an arm chair, I would suggest it should be a pale cream or coffee colour as per the picture. The tv unit does look quite dark, it might lighten the room if it was a paler colour - perhaps you could simply cover it with a material slipcover in a light brown fabric which would also hide the contents, that would look more elegant.

Jakkiea777, the lounge is a lovely shape and fits the room well, it also looks very comfy (so hopefully will be as it wears in). I think the biggest challenge is finding colours to blend in with the stone and also with your floor colour, although it looks as though it blends with your wall colour. I agree remove the ottoman for now as there is already enough of that colour in the room. Perhaps add a lovely green plant in a big pot in its place. Have you considered neutral colours such as grey or even white cushions, rug, to blend it all in? Maybe abit of green as well? Love to see pics as you work out what works, I can see the room coming together beautifully.

Hi Kerriept, you have some great pieces and have created a peaceful modern space in your home. The 'fur' inclusions stop the space from being too stark, great choice. You need to add something to the walls or put in some pendant lights to balance the room but any additions could still be in keeping with your black, white, neutral theme. Think of slicing your room in three horizontally - lower, middle & upper. Currently your lower area is full and your middle and upper areas are quite bare. I'm not suggesting that you need as much in the middle and upper as you have in the lower, but if you pay attention to each level you will find the room feels finished. Textured wall paper behind the lounge, a large piece of art, a pendant light in each zone or a tall plant (or two) could all work to improve the balance.
