last monthI think you are on the right track with the colour scheme you’ve chosen. You need some art on the walls. What style do you like?

leather..here there everywhere..☺
Comments (14)I totally agree with the advice above. Just a tip with the accessories - you might be very tempted to get all black & white, or super graphic prints. But, because the brown caesarstone will need balance in the room I'd suggest bringing in neutral earthy greyish colours, a bit of navy, and even a bit of gold. Unless you swap the brown benchtop for something crisp & white or black, or a single colour... then you will have a fantastic & strong themed 'retro look', and your red barstools will work. Some nice accessories to break up the red & suit the benchtop could be these kinda colours:...See MoreColour scheme help
Comments (38)It originally comes in the white i remebr when we purchased it, there was a white one like an antique white but I’m not ur normal person and always go for the darks lol, only cause my dining chairs are black cafe style too with wooden table. But I definitely um looking into it. Scared though cause once we touch it we can’t go back lol. I wouldn’t know where to start. I would definitely go for the Matt look. I don’t know I want the streaks on wood underneath aswell comeing through parts of the white too lol. I’ll upload a pic of the white table at the store for you to get an idea...See MorePicking a sofa set with an extreme design challenge
Comments (13)You are right - leather is the go. You could combine a soft and mid grey, or bone and tan, depending on what palette you like. You are looking for the 2 sofas to relate to each other rather than matchy matchy? My preferred look too. You could use the same sofa in different shades, that's an easy get together. Or decide on one being more of a standout - like a mid century style wooden sofa with leather cushions, and then keep the other one simple. The top photo is that mid century style and the bottom shows a sofa that would coordinate with it. (similar wood legs and square edges). I know it's in fabric but it comes in leather. And it shows you what 2 of the same sofa in different colours would look like (both leather of course)....See MoreLeather colour for occasional chair
Comments (11)Assuming the art picture was taken on your wall , the wall looks to have a grey tinge . The art i would describe as blue and grey , with a hint of mustard . The couch is grey . The red rug is dated ( or maybe isn't , but you understand ) and isn't a feature , but its pleasant . The grey with white specks is just 'nothing' , a large doormat . Personally , I wouldn't even consider a grey rug . Anywhere . But definitely not in a grey room with grey furniture . There is nothing wrong with the charcoal joinery , but IMO there is nothing that excites or stands out , and that includes a tan or charcoal leather chair . When a pleasant red rug is the thing that stands out , you'd maybe reconsider your colour scheme ? And CP , I prefer white leather furniture if you have a burnt orange feature wall -- the black joinery would be great , the grey couch would need red or burnt orange cushions , although the red rug may work ....See MoreKruti Amin

last monthWhat about burgundy and spice colours? ...and yeah I'd totally add a rug. But I don't think you want a rug? The taupe is like a grey with a bit of yellow/ochre tone in it, so i think the yellow works.
But honestly anything goes with it, so the colour scheme has to be the other decor, if that makes sense. It basically means anything! Have you tried playing with the colour palette generator websites?
Take a photo with colours you like and voila! colour scheme. I can almost guarantee the taupe will go with anything.
https://www.canva.com/colors/color-palette-generator/ This is just the first one that came up googling but there are lots!
Just see the variety and that have taupish colours!
Now I agree art would help!
have you considered glass? Glass bowls, vases and glass sculptures could help bring some warmth and colour but still suit the sleek minimalist style. Or photography? Use photos you like and match colours to them. photos in heavy black frames suit the minimal style. Abstract art with bold colour ( or even colour field art) could really look good too, but still be modern.

last monthor alternatively ditch colour altogether.... you could go graphic black and white monochrome.

last monthOr avoid colour and instead add TEXTURE. minimal houses that stick to neutral colours always use layers of different textures and textiles to create warmth. Think chunky throws, fluffy rugs, crochet bowls, baskets around pot plants. The sleek lines and hard angles are softened by natural shapes and organic textures.

last monthlast modified: last monthThis a basic look at what adding colour to the walls could do. A large neutral natural textured rug would also be good. I should have taken the yellow cushion out as it doesn't work for me Is this a Media room?

last monthlast modified: last monthYour lounge is lovely but I find the room has too many cold hard surfaces and would personally add full height and width curtains behind the lounge and any other windows to soften it, plus a large rug, large art work and a larger Timber TV unit, this would soften the edges and is what I would do if it was mine. But then you must do what you would want,

last monthBeautiful sofa, I would stick with neutrals for a really classy look, textured cushions , throws artwork could look stunning with what you have. Keeping it neutral always looks beautiful and never dates, if you really want colour pick your favourite and add it in a feature cushion.

last monthI like your organic theme. These coffee/side tables from bunnings would work well as they are a Natural terrazzo round stone top, and the black frame would tie in with your TV cabinet. They are so well priced too! i would go one coffee table and a side table next to each other to visually fill out the space

last monthYou could try glass to highlight your beautiful table, or a nest that you can move to use as a side table, love the cushions and throw, beautiful.

last monthI love the timber and glass tables and it's great to see different aspects of how the lounge sits within the room. From experience, hard floors, glass and family can be a dangerous combination.
Soft fabric ottomans in your choice of size shape colour and pattern , (I love tribal Rugs, ) that can also provide storage would be my choice with a tray placed on top to hold any coffee mugs
