Is everything staying of are you considering replacing some items? You don't have any ideas saved so people can see what kind of style/look you'd ultimately like to achieve. A few more photos showing other aspects of the room would also be helpful to generate some suggestions.

New Sofa Advice Please!!

If you children are using that space we would advise against using your white leather sofa here and keep a fabric option for your tv zone. We have a range of fabrics that you can choose to have your new sofa upholstered in, at BoConcept we have some fabrics which have protection within the fabric or you can purchase the extra protection for any which haven't. The space would be 2 small for a corner sofa, so you could get a chaise instead. Keep the colour of this neutral with your grey's and allow the pop of red come from your dining chair's. arm chair and your kitchen accessories. We would be able to create a 3D drawing of this space to help you visualise the final product. Check out our web-site for further sofa combinations and ideas. BoConcept Sofa's

Use Google + and Facebook. Facebook is fabulous for promoting yourself both locally and further afield. Find out what local groups there are, and post, post, post !!! Netmums is a great source for me, I get a lot of jobs through them! I don't pay for any advertising at all as my wife is extremely good with networking / website building etc. My tops sources are Yell, Facebook, and Netmums in roughly that order. You can also pay for advertising on Facebook, but it's not really ever worked for me, but it's very simple to use. Once you're on those, do a free add in Yell. Make sure you have a website, blogging is the best way to keep you top of the searches. Blog on your website, blog on Facebook, blog on Google + and then make sure you keep putting links in from one page to the other. You can pay people to do all of this for you of course, as it's a little time consuming to learn and not for everyone! Basically, you need to be all over the internet in every possible free ad there is available! Local mags, Local newspapers etc

Everything seems to be round the perimeter for the room, following the sides and angles of the room. Could you maybe angle the furniture a bit or bring some of it further away from the walls?

Also everything seems to happen in the one corner of the room. Could you relocate the lamp to the other end of one of the sofas?

As Jonathon says, a big lush plant would work wonders, as would some sort of art other than the wall hanging.

It doesn't have to be costly, on Ebay you can buy samples of beautiful, expensive embroidered or patterned silk and fabric for very little, that you could frame - which can be picked up inexpensively at Ikea and similar.

The room would definitely benefit from a bigger rug.

I have to say the blinds make it look like a waiting room - sorry.

Can you perhaps post more photos so people here will have a better idea of proportions and the rest of the room?

It looks a nice size with decent height too so I think you can make this a beautiful room. It’s great looking at fab pics but a visit to Ikea can often spark some great ideas when you’re stuck. Something about seeing physical room sets I think. Love indoor plants and I like having some hanging from the ceiling since it keeps the floor clear and gives spacious feel. Real plants are a bit heavier but a few faux plants are easier to hang.

For quick inexpensive solutions you could add some colour by some new cushions and some new wall art, new lamp shade etc

Now we've seen more of the room, I'd definitely say you need a bigger rug.

What color of rug will look best in this color scheme?

Great space! At the moment all your furnishings are all squashed together which makes your living area feel compact and busy. I would pull the 2 sofas apart to separate them from each other. I would also pull your rug and coffee table away from the sofas to create the feeling of a larger area. If you can I would change your rug to a light colour - either a nude or a beige as the majority of your furnishings are dark in colour and this will help break it up. Also if you have a central light fitting I would go for a brighter bulb one that gives off more of a white than yellow colour as the room feels quite dark with the blinds drawn.

Hope this helps!

That's a good choice - or a trellis style rug if you do not want a plain style such as this from Wayfair

You could also hang a set of 3 similar style prints on the wall your 3 seater is against to compliment the style of rug such as this...and you could also add a skeleton clock on the wall where you currently have an existing piece hanging and then move this to above the fireplace where it can be a feature and focal point of the room.

Hi. Based on the wall hanging and rug (which I think will work well) is it a modern boho look you're after as shown in the first 3 photos? If so, I think a round Thai/Balinese/lotus would work over the sofa. I like the blockprint throw in the last pic (from namaste) and also a stronger ochre may work better although not sure if this one is too big. I agree with others re a large plant, maybe in a belly basket, layout, and also some hanging plants could work over the tv with art over the fire. If it's the sort of look you're after will see if I can find some more bits. Do you like colour and have you considered painting a wall/s at all?

Are you from Asia? Your room consists of only two colours black and different textures of brown. I think you should consider to bring a change in colour scheme. Change the paint, Sofa's and curtain colours and add some more lights to room. Pro's can give you worthy advice which colour should you add.
