I think the golds in your frames and other wall hanging would go very nicely with the red JudyG posted. You might start with just a couple of walls as it's going to be quite dark. I painted part of my bedroom a similar color--it was the color of canned chili, and my husband thought it was too dark so I changed it. I think your furniture would look wonderful with that. And with paint color, I told my husband that I'm not done with the bedroom until I say 'I LOVE IT!' You should do the same--you want to love looking at your living room.

Hi yoscholtz. I can see you have a definitely understanding of what you like, and perhaps only struggle in putting what's in your mind together in your space. Try a few things by moving things around or layering grouped objects you like, then edit the room by taking things away until you are happy. It costs nothing to play with your interior, you often surprise yourself by following someone else's idea, only because they see your space very different to the person living in it. So.. From your layout I suggest the following. Push back the sofa at least to the first pane of glass, so it defines a bigger living zone, as these leather sofas are very heavy looking. Place a neutral area rug big enough to go under the foot of each sofa, making he space feel generous and inviting. Turn your coffee able to face the same direction as your tv, place a floor lamp in your corner next to the tv, or my preference is to add a table lamp to the tv low line. A pair of framed prints in your style above the sofa on the wall, and in the dining room, a mirror on the wall to reflect the living area, bringing the house together. don't overload your cushions, either place them all at one end of each sofa, one with a throw (the wall sofa) and stack some complimentary cushions on this end. This allows youth introduce colour. Don't just choose blue, bring in another tone, whether it be close or complimentary, blended colour is softer, and feels more personal, unlike display lounges. To make it feel lived in, allow for personal accents, framed pictures do it a little, it more so your accents and objects you place usually come from a theme or share something in common. And so these areas don't feel disconnected to each other, borrow something from each space and take it into the next joining space, for example, a colour, a texture or object. I've seen turquoise ceramic side tables like drums that Are perforated metal, or geometric ceramic ones that would look great in your lounge corner, or a round ottoman. The more soft fabric you bring in, the more it will feel inviting.

The dimensions of the room are quite small so you really don't want to introduce a colour that will make the space feel smaller - I personally would have a brilliant white, as the rays of the sun would filter through the windows, bouncing light off the walls and giving the illusion of a bigger room. I also like your idea of either a very soft grey of blue. You shared that your couch was a gun metal grey - maybe paint the wall in a softer shade of that colour to compliment! All the very best to you and your project!

Dear Mary, a track on the ceiling with S-fold heading would look good in this room. It would be terrific as a sheer, but remember that at night people can see in when the light is on - during the day, it will be private. As KK1000 said, a blind in the reveal will make the area private when required, or have lining on a separate track. The fabric doesn't need to be plain, it can include design in the colours you already have in the furniture, rugs or artwork. There are fabulous coarsely woven sheers at the moment and a few samples follow: Most curtains at the moment are falling from the ceiling, as it makes the room seem larger and the S-fold looks good from the outside, rather than gathers - just look about in the meantime, you will see what I mean. Pelmets are making a come-back, but might look like an apology with your leather furniture, unless they are relatively straight and fit up to the cornice.
