Hi. What shade of pink were you thinking? Blush pink works really well with grey, white and some copper accents. Which way does the room face in terms of white paint choice? Were you keeping the rug? What flooring will you have?

Thank you everyone for your great ideas! Actually, the room is not as dark as you think - the window is east facing, and we do get a good deal of sunshine through it... I think the pictures don't do the room justice. I do agree, dark furniture does make it seem very dull though. OK, here is what I am thinking at the moment... Unfortunately, the sofa does not fit quite right againt the opposite wall, neither does the love seat by the window (I've measured everything up and the sofas are of the wrong sizes). I'd like to replace the love seat with a couple of chairs (as the love seat is quite chunky, and does dominate the room as you walk in), but I can't justify spending the money on that just yet :( I am planning to buy a bigger rug (thank you for the suggestion, ren2513), I do love the white/cream as we have now, but will go for something with a bit more colour through it, and definitely replace the coffee table with a bright ottoman (thinking something along these lines at the moment http://www.marksandspencer.com/oval-button-footstool/p/p22344378001 colour Measham,Ochre)... And I'd like to move the existing rug behind the love seat. I'd also like to either match the wall paper or a few pictures on the wall to the ottoman (colour-wise) for some continuation. The ceiling lamp shade will be replaced with something a bit more original (this was fitted in a rush when we moved in, with no thought behind it!) All the speakers will go, as I don't think they look right in the room, and will be replaced with more descrete ones :) We are keen to replace the TV stand with Skovby TV unit and a display cabinet (in white oak), so a similar idea to what was suggested by Sauve :) thank you! Haven't decided on the 'behind the love seat' arrangement just yet. Thanks again for the suggestions everyone :)

https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/barnes-townhouse-contemporary-living-room-surrey-phvw-vp~8179730 The floor looks to be a very warm reddish colour, while grey tends to be quite cool. If you include other warm toned colours in you scheme the floor won't stand out so much. In the link above they have used bright yellow. If bright isn't your thing, there may be less bright hues with warm undertones that do the trick.

I agree a warm neutral/green/duck egg/ even blush type tone would work wonders. I think grey is difficult to get right in north facing rooms unless you go for a strong warm undertone, by which time it’s arguably griege rather than grey! I also think that regardless of the room’s orientation, that cool grey doesn’t work with the warmer tones of carpet, sofa and fire surround. I’ve just used a copy of Little Greene’s ‘Joanna’ in my sort of dual aspect living room and it’s lovely- it can be beige, grey, or (in some lights) nearly but not quite pink.

Hi.

Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up your living area I think a select piece of art would really make the room stand out, add interest and add a great talking point to the room....

Please check out my website if like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size but with this it can only be done as a original piece and not a print.....but all prints i can do to the same size or smaller than my original paintings, so lots of options..
