Nice room. Agree there is a clash between wall and sofa. Would suggest half strength Hogs Bristle or Sandy Day. Both Dulux. Would go for some plain cushions picking up colours from rug plus some tribal ones to go with the Moroccan rug. Definitely add. Throw. And maybe an ottoman also in a tribal print. Do you have any holiday photos that could be blown up for artwork. I think you may be heading for a worldly eclectic style. The light may end up being out of place. Good luck.

How tall are your ceilings? They look way too low for a ceiling rose! Those chandelier things are a bit off, aren;t they?? If the house is actually modern, I think it would be better in the long run to get rid of that ceiling rose all together. It is hard to tell from the photos, but am assuming that the other lights are over the kitchen and dining area? With the ceiling fan added to the equation, you would definitely be better off replacing with LED downlights. Get a professional lighting person from Beacon in to show you the best positioning so that you get it right first time. A couple of options on the links you posted would work with your style (ie. plain round glass or a simple white dome), but be careful with options using those decorative "Edison" style filament globes, they only emit 25watts, so not bright enough for task lighting. Good luck! Trisha Lee

I voted industrial! What did you end up choosing?

Hi, I am not professional in designing but I would like to swap the living and dinning area, then dinning would be closer to the kitchen. With the current plan I would use the long wall with TV socket for TV unit, maybe a tall narrow display cabinet in the corner close to the window. . then I would put the modular lounge parallel to the kitchen counter and only one extra seat and may be an ottoman or a bean bag in case if extra seat required (I'm not a big fan of beanbags though :) )
