Or the Soor Swivel chair by Desiree. I just put it in a Living Room recently and I think it would go beautifully in your place. This fabric is not a custom colour but in the range on offer.

A wonderful room, well done, your glass collection is fantastic.
Either a chair in the same colour as lounge, with red cushions or a red chair. But either way I think it has to be a wonderfully shaped chair to match the glass ware shapes and abstract painting.

To me , I'd want to know the style and era of the house , and the look of the other rooms , and even the size of the room . On it's own , with that art , and white walls and timber floor , I'd say do a white leather suite ( or 5 or 6 matching white leather chairs ) and a large screen TV on another wall , and a large coffee table in either white gloss , or black frame and smoke glass top . And then set it off with 3 or 4 green leafy potplants ( all different plants and different heights ) in pots in similar blue and green and mustard hues as the art . Any windows do in light wooden ventians ( white slats would be overkill without seeing the room IMO ) or black as a contrast . Add a mustard or jute rug . BUT that may not suit the rest of the house , or the size or shape of the room .

And change the light . That room will always look 1970's until you change it IMO . The new layout looks approx 1831% better IMO haha . A big ( at least 1.2mtr long by 800 tall ) abstract picture in bright reds , oranges , yellows with a bit of green and charcoal would add some colour . So would a red rug . Yellow cushions . Some colour in other words . I've never done it , but possibly even look into dying the blinds -- a mid yellow or even a brown may lift the room , but be subtle enough to not overpower it ? If you want to go more into blue or green tones for the whole room , you probably could , but you'd need to get rid of the black couches .

Top up Staging is where we can utilise some of our client's existing furniture and add contemporary pieces to modernise the overall presentation and give the wow factor to the property. The below before and after pictures show the same two adjoining rooms with the client's own furniture being rearranged and adding our accessories and other pieces of furniture to create spaces with better flow and purpose. The before photos show the opening between the two rooms being blocked by a couch. We have moved the couch to the adjoining room and added two lounge chairs that allow flow between the two rooms. We also utilised the clients' floor rugs but swapped them between rooms to better suit the furniture and accessories. The items we have added have given the rooms a purpose and have tied in nicely with the owners existing pieces to create warm and welcoming spaces. Before: After:

You have a huge room, with lots of options and opportunity. So much will depend on the size of your furniture. Some furniture is made for apartments, like a lot of the stuff from Ikea, and has compact dimensions. Other furniture is made for McMansions so is generously proportioned, and sometimes oversized. Find what you like and are comfortable in before seeing how to work it in the room. If the room is only going to be for TV then make it the focus, but if you have views, and you will use the room for other things then the position of the TV is secondary. Don't buy any furniture until you have measured it carefully and planned the room layout, knowing where your TV will fit. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits

I think tan leather would look fabulous or you could pick up a colour from your decor items.

Would love to see luxurious velvet finish blue chairs like the king living boulevard chair. I chose blue because it is the complimentary colour to orange which you have quite a bit of in the room.
I would also consider putting a grasscloth wallpaper in the alcove where the tv is. You would need to find something that really makes the paintings sing. Beautiful space.

For the tv wall, in this example, a grasscloth wallpaper colour is echoing the artwork.

Your room is so light and bright, you have a wonderful balance of colour and neutral already! But you have a lot of light colours that make the room look as though its 'floating' and you have an impressive art and objet d'art collection with red and bold colours - so I actually think a couple of small accent chairs in a dark cognac leather or vinyl would work well and anchor the scheme, especially if the chairs were an open-arm timber design (like below image) so the timber matches with your existing TV cabinetry and coffee table and the open arm design does not look so heavy.

Also you have nice high ceilings so I wouldnt go for a chair that was high in the back, this would throw the symmetry of the room - keep the accent chairs about the same back height as the sofa

For an oak colour frame chair I'd try a Scandinavian style retailer like Icon By Design. But it's also worth while getting a quote from a local upholsterer in your area as #1 they often make the timber frames in-house so you can nominate your design and #2 your choice of upholstery vinyl/leather will be better. There are some awesome leather look vinyls available that cost less (eg Wortley Group vinyl 'Marlo' vinyl)
