Maybe some colours to add? New pendants?

I don't think it's boring at all, Jill. Both ends of the room look great and I love your art. As Kluk said, you could add a few colours in a few accessories if you feel it is necessary. A couple of throw pillows, a brighter bunch of flowers, a vase or two. Seriously, you could pick almost any colour because all your art has so much colour in it (but if you made me pick I'd opt for a bunch of orange gladioli on your island, a green vase on the coffee table with a small bunch of sweet peas, and red, pink, orange and/or blue throw pillows on your couch in different fabrics and textures).

I think it looks lovely - but you could maybe replace the mat under the coffee table with a bold stripe rug or possibly soften the window by draping a soft plain voile to each side pulled back.

Hey there! You have a great foundation with some of your key pieces like your painted cabinetry, coffee table and grey sofa. I think a larger and more punchy area rug would do wonders for this space. Wayfair has some wonderful choices at a great price point - try brand Safavieh as a starting point. Choose a colour that you love and go bold - yellows and blues would really suit this space. A complimentary throw and cushions that coordinate (not too much) to your rug will liven it up.

Another suggestion I would make would be regarding lighting. It's worth it to spend a little bit more to give your room a bit of a luxury. Try John Lewis or for a splash Original BTC floor lamp.

Consider downsizing your tv cupboard to a smaller sideboard variety with storage. Try West Elm for one that might compliment your coffee table. You could put some objects on top with the tv to give it more of a designer edge.

Do you have space for a chair also, even an occasional?

Finally, really think about your art. Does what you have on the walls, have special meaning to you or is it just to fill the space? A gallery wall of personalised black and white photos of family, friends or places that have special meaning to you might bring you joy as you sink into the sofa. Since this is probably your most lived in space, it should feel like home. Ikea has some great frames which make lovely gallery walls.

Hope that's helpful input! Good luck!

Hi. I think it's a really lovely kitchen. It took me a while to spot the tv but I think I'd add something opposite the sofa, a chair wouldn't be practical but you could add a sheepskin or knitted pouffe. I think the rug is big enough to have the front feet of the Sofa on it? If you're not keen on colour go for texture. I might add a collection of woven baskets opposite the island. It doesn't have to be inky blue but you could paint the island or paint the stool legs. I might also change the floor lamp to something in brass as it feels a bit lost. You could repeat the brass for 1/2 worktop accessories and add a potted herb. You could also add Roman blinds for colour/pattern if wanted. I think the cushion would work in your room and then maybe add a throw with some mustard in just draped over the arm

Sorry Jill - couldn't see what the art was from the photos but that is certainly meaningful then! As they are colourful, you could win by picking some colours from the art and using that in other accessories around the room. Or as one user said above, use texture and keep it neutral. In my home I have everything very neutral, barring some yellow cushions but went really colourful with art as you have done! Good luck! I am sure you will get some more suggestions as the days roll on to help guide your thinking!

You have some lovely things, the sofa is gorgeous, but I feel as if it lacks tonal interest. The cupboards, walls, ceiling, woodwork all look to be very similar and I wonder if that is the problem. If you look at these images, a bolder use of darker tones seem to give the rooms interest and structure. I would increase the textural elements and paint at least two walls a darker colour. What is the unit/wall colour currently? I would also consider hanging natural floor length linen curtains at the window to add texture (obviously rehang the hand pictures elsewhere). This lamp form Dunelm Mill may go well.

Hi

How about putting a rug down under the coffee table with colours that match your pictures on the walls. Try https://www.modern-rugs.co.uk/type/modern-rugs

These are from Bo Concept.

Or make a splash of colour with cushions

These are by cygnus papilio.

Just add some colour and it'll really lift it. Perhaps dip paint the legs of the stools in an orange and update the lighting. Some suggestions here: https://www.bathbespoke.co.uk/2017/02/08/video-3-ways-refresh-kitchen/

Hi there,

You could change the stools to bring a modern touch to the room!

This one is from https://www.atlanticshopping.co.uk and it's called Freedom modern stool (£89.99).
