I agree with leather. With all of these rich colours, like some of the others have said, I agree with a dark tan type colour, especially if you like worldly textiles and woods. There's a great sofa in freedom called the hermitage I think, in a tobacco colour leather with some studs around it. The pics don't do it justice. The leather is so soft and gets a little lighter with added character with age, yet it still has a modern feel. I recommended it for a friend to help redesign her place and she absolutely loves it, so does her little one, and her partner. Comfy and you can lay the whole length on the 3 seater.

OK peeps here are a couple of pics of the new rug. Can you believe I went with my original choice. It's difficult to represent this room and the rug in pics, colours rarely look true and room always look elongated. This rug is 3 metres long and 2.5 mtrs wide but it doesn't look it. Very happy with my choice and thanks again for your help.

I think a softer patterned rug would highlight your grandmother's furniture in a more stylish way, it's so lovely to include such special pieces into your home, just the memories alone are priceless, you could add a large artwork then pick out cushions a great lamp and a beautiful plant and your room will look beautiful. abstract would look great , pick up cushions in similar colour on your couch would look lovely. this is beautiful rug also, you have some great ideas from everyone, hope we have inspired you.

Hi Adrienne. Since I wrote my comment I have been to the caeserstone showroom in Melbourne and I questioned them about the staining. The lady was really good and explained the material and how is it very resistant to staining. Also she said that pretty much anything will stain any kind of stone bench top and even more so, if you let the stain sit and soak in. She gave me two sample pieces of the airy concrete and also a sample bottle of their stone bench cleaner. She said to spill something in one of the samples and test out the cleaner. To be honest I haven’t done that yet. But a friend of mine said they used it when they spilt red wine on white stone bench and concrete flooring and used the cleaner. He said that you wouldn’t even know that the wine was spilt, no stain at all. I’m still going with it. I just love it. Fell more in love with it when I saw the huge slab of it at the caeserstone showroom!!
