Hi there. If your focus is on selling the home, you need to remove some of the furniture in this room. I would start by removing the desk. The armchairs should be placed apart from the lounge - probably where the desk is currently for one and the other on the other side of the TV (if there is room - it is hard to tell from the photos). This will give the room a more inviting feel. I would put a natural fibre cream floor rug under the lounge and across to the TV cabinet. Remove all of the small frames on the wall and opt for a large artwork on that wall - I would probably go for blues - navy through to demin through to duck egg for the artwork and accessories (cushions etc). Good luck!

Indeed - you have a wonderful blank, contemporary canvas there Olivia! We'd whole heartedly agree that you start with an artwork that you love and use that to guide the colour scheme / the other accent pieces such as rugs and cushions. You might like to start here for some inspiration: https://www.signarture.com.au/pages/interior-design-and-decorating-ideas. And you needn't go for colour impact if that's not you: these treescapes of ours were used to augment the client's tonally neutral palette. Do reach out if anything in our collections resonates with you.

something with natural textures and/or patterned with a combination of all the colours in the rooms, a rug to match the colour of the dining chairs in the lounge area and add some side table with lamps for gentler lighting at night

There are so many shades of taupe it is impossible to say without seeing some photos of your home. I would suggest that you start looking at some light teals and pale aquas, but it really depends on what else is in your home. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
