Hi,
I would definately add texture in cushions, a beautiful floor lamp and a coffee table would look great, maybe play around with sofa placement as it is blocking your view, you could add some new artwork to tie it in, check Ebay for some great art

I think your sofas are grouped too close together, and the rug isn't large enough for the space. A large rug in lighter tones (neutral) would help offset the dark sofas and go well with your lovely flooring.

How's your view out the window? I'd suggest the sofa currently in front of it be moved so it sits opposite the wall with artwork. You still have the grouping of three sofas, but your view to the outdoors is opened up.

Will you have a coffee table? Perhaps a round glass-topped one and a couple of side tables. Will you need additional lighting, either floor lamp/s or table lamps?

Does the window have a blind? Can't really tell from pic.

While your cushions are lovely, I think the black ones are just too dark against the dark sofa. Maybe some in lighter tones and with various textures. Recommend feather-filled inserts for cushions as they will sit better on the leather. Hope I'm not overloading you with suggestions...:)

je suis d'accord avec jean-yves et cela pourrait aider d'autres personnes qui cherchent des tables comme la vôtre étant donné que quasi tous les modèles y sont passés ;) Par contre pour votre table basse vous pouvez faire un autre dilemme avec photos du salon et de votre nouvelle table à repas (copier et coller). Sur mon post du 16 décembre 2015, je vous avez mis de modèles de table basses il n'y en a pas qui vous plaisent dans le tas ???

tiens tout est dans l'autre sens? Allez courage Sébastien!! on est avec vous! puisque vous avez déjà de bonnes idées et bien récapitulé, il serait peut-être judicieux de faire les choses au fur et à mesure, d'abord ce dont vous avez besoin: et grouper des achats pour être efficace: 1) table chaises = Julie vous donne des conseils pratiques, puisque vous optez pour l'étagère kalix, allez à Ikkéa profitez-en pour prendre la table ronde et les chaises, un tapis... il y en a de chouettes, sinon direction la Redoute ou Maisons du Monde pour certains accessoires déco et coussins. Votre canapé peut-être recouvert d'une housse avec un tissu chic et/ou moelleux. Un pouf tissus ou tricot. des coussins fausse fourrure... tout cela dans les gris et turquoises par exemple. Regardez les photos proposées dans toute la discussion et listez les couleurs qui retiennent votre attention et foncez! 2) Pour les peintures, commencez par faire simple: couleur lin partout. Il sera toujours possible dans un week-end entre amis de peindre ou tapisser un pan de mur de la couleur de votre choix pour personnaliser davantage en fonction des meubles et tapis choisis et installés. 3) La portière: le tissu neutre pour démarrer, grège par exemple pour s'harmoniser avec le lin ou une couleur présente dans le tapis choisi au préalable!. Déjà si vous avez cela comme base de départ il sera peut-être plus facile d'envisager le rouge pompéi avec des turquoises des accessoires coussins ou tapis. Enfin tranquillement à vos heures perdues ;-)) vous recouvrez le meuble bar avec les idées émises plus haut dans la discussion... Bon voilà, c'est ce que je ferais parce que si vous n'en dormez plus la nuit il faut agir!! courage ;-)

Hi there! What a great space you have, I especially love the boards and you're on the right track with the rug, the artwork and the conversation style configuration of the sofas. I would suggest you need more, more, more pieces in here to create a zone that invites and feels cosy. I'm talking about more artwork on the walls, 2-3 side tables (one in between each sofa), a lamp on one or two of those tables, cushions that lighten up the dark sofas, perhaps in cream/grey neutral tones to break up the black. The window could really contribute to this softness by having a soft linen drape or sheer in front of it to soften those hard surfaces. Finally a coffee table in the middle with loved items or decorator items like a small plant, coffee table books and a few ornamental pieces would just finish off the look! Check out these links for more inspiration. Happy Decorating!

What about touches of either yellow or gold in the mix? Also suggest round coffee table such as Julie shows, and plants. If you like gold and glass, maybe something like one of these:

Soft drapes with sheers or blind as suggestion.

What do you have on your other windows? Maybe you want to match for a cohesive look?

I have been looking at rugs; what size is your current one? Do you prefer wool or a synthetic?

Hi Ann, Certainly a great space and lots of potential to add some colour and 'life' into the space. I've attached a few images of green wall disks which you may find works well on the wall behind the couch. You can check them out here https://designerplants.com.au/product-category/vertical-garden-green-walls/page/4/

To be completely honest, I would start with a new lounge suite if your budget allows.

I dunno if any of these rugs will appeal to you, but here are a few with fairly neutral tones.

have moved the lounges, very happy with that ... have got some side tables and coffee table coming. any artwork suggestions

The rearrangement of sofas really opens up the space, and it's much nicer being able to look outdoors! Artwork is personal, depends on what you enjoy looking at. Do you like photography, textiles (like wall hangings, etc), abstract, landscapes, etc? It looks like you have a lot of wall space so you could go for something large, at least on one wall.

Moving the lounges looks so much better, as annb said art is very personal, when you see it and love it then that is perfect, plenty of room now for some gorgeous cushions , throws and big plant to make it a lovely space.

An elegant living room cabinet in exclusive materials and details is versatile and can be adapted with various finishes to compliment the area. It also provides storage space and a usable top.

Adding a splash of color with living systems creates an inviting and useful result.

Positano green lacquer on the sideboard and open wall units create a pleasant contrast with the warm tones of the cabinet.

Here the play of reflection and transparency of glass doors and lights illuminating the oak, creating warm and welcoming environment.

Hi there sdsth! It is a family room. Do you have a family who would use it? Think activities: Table tennis table, billiards/pool table; games area. Cupboards for storing board games, jigsaws. A smallish dining table for doing jigsaws, homework, playing board games, to keep your real dining table free. Think card table size?

I had a grand piano in my living room for 6 months once - minding it for a friend. It filled the space nicely - pity I couldn't play.

(Although I just noticed a later picture, so maybe not as large as I thought.)

What do you do in the room?

I see that you said you want to get "side tables coffee table" but will you use them for anything? Otherwise it's just more clutter to manoeuvre the vac around. Also beware of horizontal space. If you do not have enough storage but you do have tables handy that is where stuff will be dropped. So could you use something incorporating storage, a coffee table with a drawer, a bookshelf or sideboard against the wall? I know some people do not want to make a living space 'all about the television' but is there no television?

You also asked "what colors you thinkin for cushions... our house is very neutral with whites and grey tones through out". Do you want to keep it neutral or do you have any colours that you like or do you have a preference for warm tones or cool tones?

The one picture you have on the wall does not seem to make the most of that wall. As previous replies have said, choice of artwork is personal. Other people can't tell you what you like. However other people can advise you on how best to display what you like, how to position artworks to best effect.

I agree with the comments that you need more - side tables and cushions/throws maybe some light linen and lighter colours for summer and fur throw and velvet cushions (and colour) for winter months. You could try an ottoman with a tray for glasses/coffee instead of a coffee table. Family pictures on your large wall might work. Also, pick up the colours in your kitchen to tie it all together and add a range of candles in your dining table and flowers.
