We moved into our first home just before Christmas and have finally decided to start work on our living room/dining room. The property is a new build so it's very plain and white washed throughout. My Aunty has made us the blinds etc and the dining table and chairs is the contemporary look we'd like to go for in this room! We're not sure which wall to paint and what colours would look best with the plum fabric and the ash grey sofas. Any help would be fab!!! Thanks in advance

Can you post a plan of the room? I'm thinking you may be better to swing the sofa round to face the big wall, then make that the feature wall, with a nice tv unit, some storage either side and a rug in front? At the moment you're honing in on an odd corner.

Thank you very much for that! Yes I totally agree, I've added a picture of some drawings I've done today.... I like the idea of using the wall for shelves and the TV on the wall etc.
However, we are now struggling with colours to paint the wall behind the dining table!

A Roman blind is a good idea or curtains that hang outside of the window recess when open to allow maximum light to pour in. Whichever you choose, make sure they are hung high near the ceiling to make the ceiling feel higher up. What do you use the conservatory for? Is the door in the second photo the main entrance into the room? Would the table fit comfortably nearer the window end of the room instead? Then the sofa could go to the other end of the space - not sure if it fits. It's hard to see how the layout works from the photos and without the measurements or a floor plan. Alternatively, would the sofa fit it you turned it so that it faces the centre of the room rather than the window? I'd hang the seaweed mirror above the sideboard or behind the sofa (depending on final layout) and change the floor lamp to one which reaches over into the living space. Also, you need a much larger rug for the living space. The mirror and art are hung too high at the moment. After the layout is decided then you can think about maybe using wallpaper on one wall.

For walls? What style? How much light? Soft furnishings? We need a little more information to go on as many colours would suit what you have mentioned. Do you have photos of the space? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

I tried to place furniture in your room, but do not know where is window or not. So I got what I got. I am sure the round dining table will be better. I just did not have it in my software. Try to move two sofas on different direction. may be both on the corner would be better. Round table is on other corner.

Would you consider teal behind the dining table, a pale duck egg or pale peacock on the rest of the walls (close to white ) then throw in a splash of bright yellow! With maybe a throw cushion & a graphic print:-)
