Hi Blufitch, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The four coffee tables are lovely, but I would probably opt for one of the two top ones. That being said, check the measurements first as these round tables might be significantly larger than your existing Ikea table. Re the potted plant, a taller one would be better, or you can put this one on a plant stand or even on a ceramic stool. But if you feel a mirror would be too much due to your mirrored splashback, leave the plant as it is and hang a framed print above the plant. It doesn't need to be big, but it's important that it s not too small so it doesn't look too "lost" on the wall. It's hard for me to judge the size from here, but a 70x40 frame might be ok. You could have only the yellow canvas above the couch, but you would have to bring in a few more brightly-coloured cushions or throw onto the couch, to compensate for the empty wall. Alternatively, you could also hang a large mirror above the couch. If you decide to do this, I think it would be best to move the canvas back to where it was, and hang the mirror in front of the window, so it reflects the natural light around and gives more depth to the room. The large Ikea Stave mirror (in white stained oak) is very reasonably priced and would work great. Just double check it fits first (it's 70x160)! Tell us how yo go! All the best, Nelly / Twinkle and Whistle

Bright walls don't suit brown leather couches or bright colours If you want bright colours you need a new modern style couch If you Keep your brown couches Replace your purple curtains with either cream or black curtains Buy a rug either cream or silvery/misty grey White long coffee table oval shape with marble or glass top or all glossy white put plantation shutters in white or the same color as your floorboards

I would be inclined to go for a large grey rug to ground the couches which would tie in with your slate. A large piece of art or mirror above couch, hang at eye level. Rearrange your cushion choice and add a very soft throw in a pale grey. You may consider a coffee table that comes in 2 pieces which can be placed together for guests and when not in use, separated and placed as end tables for couches. That way your little one can play without furniture in the way. I have done this so my grandchildren have room for their toys. Works well. Good luck.

Tan leather sofa look great with grey. I love my leather sofa, grandkids have been jumping over mine for years and still looks great, so easy to clean. I've had the fabric sofas and they always start looking shabby after a while. You can cover them, but what's the point, nice sofa and you have to cover it, no way. Just if you get leather, condition it every 6 mths, they will tell you if you buy one, only a matter of rubbing conditioner into it gently, easy
