We're the Australian importers of the Loft ceiling fans pictured above and I can share with you that the most popular finish is the Brushed Steel closely followed by the Black finish. I'm sure any finish could look good in your space. We find that customers choosing white ceiling fans are usually looking for fans to "disappear" into the ceiling. The black and brushed steel finishes are bolder choices and can look great when you have other fittings to complement. Below are some photos of this ceiling fan installed to show you the three different finishes in-situ. I hope this helps.

The dimensions of the room are quite small so you really don't want to introduce a colour that will make the space feel smaller - I personally would have a brilliant white, as the rays of the sun would filter through the windows, bouncing light off the walls and giving the illusion of a bigger room. I also like your idea of either a very soft grey of blue. You shared that your couch was a gun metal grey - maybe paint the wall in a softer shade of that colour to compliment! All the very best to you and your project!

It's a lovely tile! I'd go light-mid grey (basically like the picture!), if you go dark then it's pointless having the interesting hexagonal shape and the veins will look a bit odd stopping and starting, and if you go too light it will compete with the veins in the marble and look to busy.

Hi again everyone and thanks again for all your suggestions re my chairs. So to update....7 months later I finally have my chairs back (between the polisher and the upholsterer it took much longer than anticipated). I ended up choosing a textured blue velvet, not a navy but a mottled royal blue similar to my little painted bookshelf. Im glad I did as the frames turned out darker and much more orange tinted than I wanted so thankfully the blue fabric tones the orange down somewhat (the polisher was supposed to do a test patch first for us to see...but annoyingly didnt and just went ahead and finished them before we'd confirmed the timber colour was okay to proceed with) Bur overall Im pleased with the result as I didnt want to be TOO safe and thankfully the textured fabric does not look like a solid plain colour - I ended up ruling out any patterned fabric as although I did get some patterned fabric samples I felt they just didnt really work with the rest of the patterns or decor in this area, or do justice to the chairs, and I find the blue chairs with the blue cabinet create an interesting little colourful 'nook' (especially when teamed with my old persian rug) in an otherwise very neutral coloured, large airy space that compliments and brings together the splashes of blue and the similar coloured full-room sized persian rug in the opposite part of this open plan living/dining room. Also my vintage Liberty fabric cushions which I was adamant on using compliment the colour perfectly, so thats a win! But thanks again everyone for all the helpful comments
