What did you end up choosing Sanyukta? Would be interested in seeing what you chose to go with the greeny-white.

Hi Sandra, what a beautiful room you can make, I would love your fire place, my thoughts would be to go the lighter colours including painting you panelling, as a few others above have suggested keep the trim and wall colour similar, big floor rug as suggested also. Our sitting room is 4x4 metres, when we first moved in, I painted it quite a dark pink shade and had way too much dark furniture from our downsize that I thought I could not live without. After two years of trying to make myself like it, I finally heavily culled furniture and changed paint colour to a very light grey tone. It probably isn't my perfect colour choice but heaps better, I also purchased some lighter profile furniture, I sit in this room so often now, I just love it, it has gone from a room I tried not to look at, to a room I really like being in. I will put a couple of before and after in for looking at darker colours to lighter colours from very similar angles

Hi Kylie! Megan from Bluethumb Online Art Gallery here. I agree with what has been said above by Kylie Fogarty and others that a large signature piece would look great. It would create such an impact on the room! We have a large selection of original artworks if you're after something a little special. I've found some large coastal artworks that I think will complement the look and colour palette you're using. See them at the curation below: https://bluethumb.com.au/curations/houzz-kylie?s=KylieN My personal favourite for a coastal look, is this artwork by Naomi Veitch: https://bluethumb.com.au/naomi-veitch/Artwork/a-slice-of-pearl-beach I've mocked it up for you, so you can see how it would look. I think the textural quality of this work with the neutral colour palette will really finish off your room. Let me know if we can help you with finding the perfect piece.

I would not paint that wall. Instead I would install a rectangle huge colourful painting. This will bring interest and texture to the whole room. If you are thinking of going grey, then would it be a feature? Would anyone notice? Your home is quite subdued in the colouring....maybe some colour may pop on that wall instead of more subtle tones.
