Hi Valerie,

It's an original from Hester Coetzee. You can find her work on artfinder.com.

Many thanks

Hi Fran, I wouldnt be cautious at all, what you have already done in my opinion looks great. I particularly like the dresser you have done with all the little compartments in! Don't worry about what other people might think at the end of the day its your home and you are free to personalise it however you feel is right as it's you who is living there :-) Plus its always good to see a home that has a personal touch rather than just looking like so many of these cloned show homes you see nowadays. So I'd fully agree with Ocean and just say go for it! Don't forget to add some pictures when you are done so we can see how it went :-)

The cosiness is not being helped by the coffee table and the wooden 70's style sofa. Remove those and paint to match the grey sofa. Then add in a nice plush footstool, some accent colour cushions. Maybe re-instate the fireplace and move the T.V up? Put in a rug to match the accent cushions, and also think about changing the curtains to the accent colour too. Raspberry, Turquoise and mustard will all work well with the sofa, the biscuit of the carpet and the walls.Add back in the footstool and rug

Picking out the turquoise for the TV wall with a high gloss grey media unit could look smart, particularly with a grey sofa in the mix, but you‘d need to move the 2 smaller prints elsewhere

With such a neutral backdrop (oak floor, grey/white unit, and grey sofa) you could go in any direction with colour. I think you need to understand whether your sofa is a 'warm' grey or a 'cool' grey and then go in the same direction for the colour. To clarify with an example of what I mean... If your sofa is a warm grey a buttermilk or a buttercup yellow would work well. Summer Glow from Fenwick & Tilbrook is a warm yellow. If your sofa is a cool grey a citrus yellow will work better. Concorde, also from Fenwick & Tilbrook, is a good example. I've used yellow here but the principle is the same for any colour. Go with what you fancy but if you want to learn more about colour and its effects I recommend a good book about colour from Karen Haller. It's just out and an excellent read: The Little Book of Colour. Regarding furniture, and in particular a large coffee table - there are plenty available in the shops but if you want something a bit different and not overly expensive I suggest looking in second hand shops for a good quality wooden dining table - if the top is the right size and shape for your room cut the legs down so it's the right height. Depending on the condition of the table you might want to paint it. It would be an opportunity to inject some really bold colour! Good luck with your re-vamp. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like further help.
