Mattiebodie, I think that's a good idea. Lots of different styles work together but I think no matter how they were arranged, those chairs and sofa might just continue to fight with one another. Too bad there isn't an office or bedroom where the sofa could work! When you're ready to look for a new sofa, please post pics of the ones you're considering. We can sure try to help by discussing style, color, just how to best place everything in the room, etc. Hopefully you could get it all figured out before you spend any money.

Thanks for the opportunity to look at your room and think about what I would do. It has been fun. I think the round coffee table will work if it is large enough for everyone seated in the L sofa arrangement to reach it. (Bonus is no barked shins from sharp corners on a square one.) I agree pale colours like yellow won't do much for bringing about a changed more modern look. The room needs more drama and freshness and I think that currently the room has too many colours in the pale range and not enough contrast. I would go for introducing more of the stronger colours in your attractive tribal fabric, including black and white. Black in particular will allow you to really update the look. Consider painting the bookcase or even the doors black. (The existing coffee table would even look good painted glossy black.) Some plump cushions in the tribal fabric and others in a bigger more graphic design in large red and white zigzags or stripes say, would add to a more integrated look. Your bright yellow pot plant holder on the bookcase is another colour in your tribal fabric which would look good in the scheme as a minor accent, say, more pots that colour in a larger size, a big vase/artwork or lampshade. My advice is to stay away from golds and beiges as they relate to older fashions. A large framed in black graphic print on the wall in black and white (or even photo with meaning to you) could be an idea to think about too.

Go the diagonal! There seems to be a lot of dead space in the middle. It seems like a desk/office area near the glass doors. I would move the TV there at a diagonal over the fixed part of the glass door and circle that with the couches/seating. Couches don't need to be up against walls as they are usually heavy enough to stand alone. The feet of the couches should be on the rug and only just enough room around the coffee table to get to a seat at the couches and get to the TV. I would tuck the office (if that is what that table is being used for) closer to the kitchen facing the glass doors. The path to the opening part of the doors will then be behind the couches. Since you will be able to see the back of the couches you can buy sarongs/material to drap over the back like a shawl. Pick some that match the rugs with a very simple pattern.

Hi Ann, thank you for your comprehensive replies, I definitely prefer a neutral palette as I am attempting to make the view the main feature of the room. I love the style of the coffee tables you chose, they are exactly what I have been looking at and agree with your comments regarding the entertainment unit, I have been actively looking for a long lowline unit (220-240cm length and 45cm high)as I wish to minimise the obstruction of the view. You definitely have a knack for picking up on the look I was after!!!!. Thank you again for your assistance.
