Sounds like you have plenty of green so I'd start looking at something in the peach to coral range, as a complement to your greens. Or look at rugs that have both green and peach. Another direction would be a rug with greens and blues, shown in the third rug below. It's fast becoming my favorite of the trio. I'd throw in plenty of pale yellow pillows with it, just to lighten things up. Carolyn Albert-Kincl, ASID

Hi Terri So glad you found our advice for your living room helpful. Here are a few tips to instantly modernise your dining space, without having to replace your dining set: 1) From what I can see, the combination of furniture and artwork you currently have in your dining area, can potentially make this space appear smaller than I think it actually is. Also, the combination of darker colours and timber in a medium size space tend to absorb the light, where lighter colours help reflect the light and make a space feel more vibrant and spacious. Replacing the current artwork with something lighter and brighter, will instantly enhance this space. The 'Orange Blossom' canvas with a timber look shadow box frame from Urban Road is lighter and will match all the colours of your dining table, chairs, wall and even rug. ->Urban Road 2) Another easy thing to do is get a neutral colour runner for your dining table to break the solid timber look. This one from Freedom 'Noya table runner' will work well ->Freedom runner 3) Adding 3 large vases placed on the runner to match the colours of the artwork will help add interest to the space. These rustic vases from Temple and Webster -> Tall Vases for example will do just that. 4) Last but not least, adding a large potted plant will immediately liven up a room. If you don't have time to maintain a live plant, go for the synthetic option. Freedom has a great selection of larger plants, and these days you can get synthetic plants that look exactly like the real thing. Put them all together and you will have a beautiful space to enjoy :-)

What a beautiful room, table is great, I love transparent furniture also it could work well with your room, I can imagine it with your table but a more luxe look could be stainless to blend with benchtops or leather or be brave and mix it up for a more contemporary look, depends on the style you are after, fab room

Hi there. I second the Chinese ceramic lamp choose something that works with the warm tones of the timber but also keeps it fresh and timeless. A metallic or lacquered tray for your drinks would be better too. Consider a white with more of an undertone too, like Casper White Quarter or Natural white. Vivid white might be a bit too stark for your furnishings - test pots are a must! All the best!
