If you wanted to try that safari theme, you could try a vintage looking trunk as a coffee table, as they can hold cushions, throws, magazines, Xbox controllers, etc., out of sight. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/170984006005?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=107&ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F705-139619-5960-0%252F2%253Fipn%253Dicep%2526icep_id%253D62%2526mtid%253D1797%2526kwid%253D1%2526crlp%253D40593704497_573061%2526icep_item_id%253D170984006005%2526itemid%253D170984006005%2526icep_meta_categ_id%253D11700%2526icep_etrs%253DY%2526icep_epid%253D-999%2526icep_ctlg%253D-999%2526icep_cond%253Dnew%2526targetid%253D91821563857%2526rpc%253D0.26%2526rpc_upld_id%253D69716%2526device%253Dt%2526icep_cbt%253Dn%2526icep_msku_flag%253Dn%2526adtype%253Dpla%2526googleloc%253D9060880%2526poi%253D%2526campaignid%253D184043497%2526adgroupid%253D8467825417%2526rlsatarget%253Dpla-91821563857%2526gclid%253DCM6Tj7ubxMwCFQslvQodg90LTQ%2526srcrot%253D705-139619-5960-0%2526rvr_id%253D1025806069455&limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=107&chn=ps&ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F705-139619-5960-0%252F2%253Fipn%253Dicep%2526icep_id%253D62%2526mtid%253D1797%2526kwid%253D1%2526crlp%253D40593704497_573061%2526icep_item_id%253D170984006005%2526itemid%253D170984006005%2526icep_meta_categ_id%253D11700%2526icep_etrs%253DY%2526icep_epid%253D-999%2526icep_ctlg%253D-999%2526icep_cond%253Dnew%2526targetid%253D91821563857%2526rpc%253D0.26%2526rpc_upld_id%253D69716%2526device%253Dt%2526icep_cbt%253Dn%2526icep_msku_flag%253Dn%2526adtype%253Dpla%2526googleloc%253D9060880%2526poi%253D%2526campaignid%253D184043497%2526adgroupid%253D8467825417%2526rlsatarget%253Dpla-91821563857%2526gclid%253DCM6Tj7ubxMwCFQslvQodg90LTQ%2526srcrot%253D705-139619-5960-0%2526rvr_id%253D1025806069455&ul_noapp=true the plantation shutters would be great for a safari theme, but in that room definitely put plain cream sheers in front of them, in a natural cotton. White isn't great with brown. Earthy colours are coming in.

hey everyone we have finally moved and we got the sofa bed. It is fantastic. I'm still unpacking boxes and trying to sort through things but I think the layout works as I can enjoy views out to my yard while Hudson plays. Thanks again for your advice and help.

Ok. So here s the deal. I got myself a beautiful floor lamp only to realize that the lamp's legs are oak in color and the tv unit in the same setting is whitewashed acacia. I also have a light planter next to the lamp that's light wood tone too. Now here are my concerns :- 1) Is it advisable to have two different wood tones (yellow and white) in the same setting ? My sofa legs , though hidden are a dark mahogany color and the tv unit is an industrial one with dark grey metal legs. So sofa, unit and lamp all have different legs. 2) I have quite some space left next to the sofa after the lamp. The current round metal side table is not fitting and I d be replacing it. Am leaning towards a light wooden side table like one in the pics. Now if I get that, should its legs match the lamp( will be next to it ) or the the unit ? Also, should the side table match the hallway table ? I am using the sofa Ottoman as a coffee table and still looking for a hallway. 3) What else can I put in that space ? A plant ? Decorative vases ? Baskets ? 4) Does my sofa look silver in the led cool white light ? Should I change the light to warm or add some warm cushions ? Thanks in advance. This is exciting and crazy at the same time.

You are right - leather is the go. You could combine a soft and mid grey, or bone and tan, depending on what palette you like. You are looking for the 2 sofas to relate to each other rather than matchy matchy? My preferred look too. You could use the same sofa in different shades, that's an easy get together. Or decide on one being more of a standout - like a mid century style wooden sofa with leather cushions, and then keep the other one simple. The top photo is that mid century style and the bottom shows a sofa that would coordinate with it. (similar wood legs and square edges). I know it's in fabric but it comes in leather. And it shows you what 2 of the same sofa in different colours would look like (both leather of course).
