you may want to post this in Pro to Pro if you have a Houzz pro account. This will then go to all of the design pros here and it may pick up more attention.

HiTino Felly, Marie Here. Your off to a great start - but you've made a common mistake in that you've found your inspiration for your colour palette, but your not committing to it. You need to bring the greens and blues up onto the walls and onto the floor - commit to it. You could: - add a great throw rug underneath the bed, - add big table lamp beside the bed - or better yet, a wall sconce, - drapery isn't really the best choice for this bedding - I would have brought in a bold graphic print here, in either the blue or the green - artwork can stay neutral - even do a collection of mixed metals in chrome, gold, and have fun with that - if you add too much in the blue and green it becomes boring and un-special. Choose your accessories carefully, I'd change out your drapery - go with something bolder, I'd also get a larger night stand so you could put a proper table lamp there. Good Luck!

Thanks for your response mayfly182. In response to your questions, I opened the blinds and took pics in the daytime. However unfortunately because my building is in between 2 high rise buildings, we don't get a lot of light in. The windows in the house might have a slight tint also to prevent the neighbors from looking in, If need be, I can have that replaced to create more light. We do tend to keep the blinds closed for the most part. But that's also because It doesn't seem to make a difference much when we open them. What do I hate about it? Well I feel we failed at what we wanted to achieve. I wanted something contemporary with a nice mix of bold colors accomplished either with the wall paint or by proper accessorizing. We unfortunately started off on the wrong foot. We painted the house first without having a proper direction, and it was downhill from there. It doesn't have the wow factor you feel when you walk into a well designed room with properly matched colors. Im not crazy about the wall colors or the color of the furniture. I am open to changing the fabric colors or replacing them if need be (last resort). What do I want to keep? Im open to anything. I love my reclining chair + projector/screen. Would like to keep that. When we moved in, the floor had green tiles. But because of the kids, we went with a black carpet. We have no center rugs. I am open to replacing the carpet to a different color. The blinds were recently installed about 4 months ago. We had curtains before but took them off because they attracted too much dust. I have added you to my ideabook that has a bunch of pictures of the living + dining room. I am excited to hear what your ideas are. Looking forward to your response.

So funny! I'm planning to paint the bannister at the new house (TNH) black and am veering towards painting the treads and risers black too... I've been searching for images of black staircases on Houzz and putting them in my entrance hall ideabook. They are few and far between. In your case, I think, with your white walls, maybe the stairs white and the bannister black? (Assuming the white walls continue up the stair walls enabling the b/w contrast.) You've already put black firmly into the equation, adding some more may give more reason for the black rad cab. In my case, there is a very off-centre radiator that could so very easily have been directly opposite the front door in TNH which is rather annoying as it stuffs up the focal point. We are leaving here with every radiator covered with a cabinet - and going to TNH that has loads of radiators ...but no cabinets! Yes, the work ahead is daunting - especially since the area of Ireland we're going to is very basic and not full of DIY resources, etc. I keep thinking I'll paint TNH white - to make things simpler(!) But try as I may colour keeps wandering through my mind! Lovely to be in touch again!

Perhaps I should have explained this in my original post but it was all said as banter... as innocent joking. Me and the previous owner shared a similar sense of humour and telling him was done in regards to a joke he made about how they will probably turn out to be worth more than his baby's new pram. Obviously it was not done to gloat or be malicious, it was all said jokingly. He's also aware, as am I, that there is no way he would have been able to sell them on second hand for even half of their original price... especially with them being so ugly. I personally have always loved this style of sofa. Once we have decorated they will go wonderfully with my old sewing machine and my 1960s Welsh dresser. It's a bit of a niche yes but sadly some of us really do love the old fashioned grandad look. Most of you may think they are hideous or ugly and that I'm an awful person who deserves them however isn't this why we are all here? To share our tastes and ideas? To support one another and give tips? Honestly, I didn't expect to get a verbal bashing about how ugly my home, sofas or even my personality are... I believed it was fairly apparent that it was written as a funny post but as I said, perhaps I should have explained properly. I thought we were here to help each other with our homes, I hate my new home in it's current state and was very reluctant to post photos but believed it may be of use. I doubt I will try again. Sorry to offend you all.
