@rachodges, I also was going to say great choice, but all done and dusted :) good job

Those bricks are fabulous! As the room is quite big, it risks being quite dark with eastern (morning) sunlight, especially in the later part of the day when you're likely to be using the room most, so I'm throwing it out there to go a lighter colour! Possibly a lighter grey but even better an oat or wheat type colour? It would reflect light better in the room and would work beautifully with all your earthy tones, and whilst it could risk looking busy with so much texture and pattern, this could ensure it still looks fresh looking but allow the interesting patterns to be noticed, rather than crowding them out. And I like Sirius' suggestion - a nice substantial sofa though that isn't too visually heavy or chunky. And whilst I'm a huge Ikea fan, I don't love their sofas in terms of comfort (apart from maybe the Ektorp), I would probably just invest in a pretty good quality one now, rather than wasting money (and landfill!).
