It's called the PEDRALI L002T/BA ARCHED FLOOR LAMP and you can purchase it here: http://www.nostraforma.com/en/pedrali-l002tba-arched-floor-lamp-p-16447.html

First thing I'd do is throw the grey carpet up onto the sofa. Meaning it's colour. Introduce a thick grey throw, loosely folded over one of the seats, up over the back then layer your cushions in front of that. Building up onto it will scatter your colour palette around and start bringing it all together. It will be softened. However keep your colours to a minimum, perhaps 2. This does not include tones of colour, as many as you like will add interest and sophistication. In a chocolate and grey interior, it could be luxe, but I am thinking shades of salmon and mustard up against creams and greys. You also need to link your walls to the sofas, as the floor area looks heavy in comparison. To correct it you either introduce the wall colour down onto the floor, or the floor colour up onto the wall, it will balance it out. I'd place large black frames with rich colours of chocolate with perhaps gold leaf or metallics. Keep it abstract to be modern, or even go the opposite with some classic charcoal pencil sketches in a pair of large frames. The images will start to personify your space, so choose the context of the image that you can continue a theme from, like architecture where you can place related objects on a side table, even coffee table, I love tables with reference books that on a Whim you can pick up for inspiration. It shows who you are and what you aspire to. Or it may be floral, landscapes, paintings whatever, find something that works. Don't necessarily go looking for art, you can make it, save an image online, print and frame to suit you and your budget. Even an a3 image can be framed in a larger frame to make a bold statement, just add a frame Matt that you get from a picture frame shop. Ikea also have ready made large frames too. For some reason emerald green keeps popping into my mind when I look at your room, maybe some plants, foliage can liven a space but also, slight little traces of it around can freshen a space. Maybe thin picture frames, or spines of books can bring this in.

Hi Lili, There are certainly 'rules of thumb' when it comes to artwork. We wrote a guide on how to measure up for the perfect size artwork and its actually not that difficult to find an artwork in the dimensions you need... if you know where to look! Art is very personal choice, but you might like to take a look at the original collections in our online gallery. We produce all our artworks bespoke, in the exact dimensions to suit - either a single panel, or multiple panels, as you'll find illustrated in the gallery. A relevant project review is linked here https://www.houzz.com.au/viewReview/682538/signarture-review Below is another popular example of our frameless perspex artworks - and in that position, benefiting from the changing light through your full height glazing, would create wonderful shadowcasting. There's plenty more inspiration in our gallery - please just PM if you find something you love!

You've got some great suggestions there, so I won't really add anything different, but I'm wondering how you use the living area, do you need both a lounge and a living room or would you benefit from another room like a guest room or office, or a reading/library room? A studio? Do you like having a lounge area and separate tv area, or would that all be the same area? My family all likes being together but doing their own thing so for us a large family room that includes reading, tv, arts/crafts, toys, boardgames and spaces to do all those things is what we need. But I know other families like having separate rooms for different activities, just sort of depends how you live. As for the reluctant renovation partner, sometimes its just a case of not being able to see what you are thinking... or even seeing why a change would help. One thing I like to do is just just rearrange the rooms and set up the areas as they'll be used. For the time being ignore the wall positions. Go right ahead and swap the tv and dining furniture and see how it feels, you'll soon see if some areas are cramped and the walls need to be pushed out or where the door should be. sometimes its easier for people to solve problems than imagine design changes that avoid problems.
