Hello loubrad1973, I would suggest a wood flooring that continues from your hall into the living room.... Are the sofas next to each other for a reason.. You could split them up and have 1 in the other room? I don't see why silvery grey won't go with brown or plum... Have found a couple of cushions which I think you might like 1 is lighter and offers contrast, you could also add a bit of plum... I'd put 2 on one side rather than all the way along... Also you can add to the feel by finding a nice silvery grey plain throw.... Folded over one arm, or on the other folded over the back a little to one side or layer 2 colours... Dark grey and light silvery grey with accents of plum.. :)) ...

Hello there, we are a little late to the party with this information but we can certainly help further with resin floors. We offer MMA (industrial quality) rather than epoxy coatings and you can find out more about our options here: http://www.garageflex.co.uk/garage-resin-floors If you have any questions please do get in touch via info@garageflex.co.uk.

How about a pale concrete effect? https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/1211-anti-slip-stone-effect-hometex-by-envy.html Perhaps a solid pale grey to go with the grout. Or dark if that's your style: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/camaro-loc-3453-black-shadow.html Dark wood effect: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/0562-anti-slip-wood-effect-felt-back-vinyl-flooring.html And if Marina's suggestion (which I find lovely) is too much of the same for you, a pattern could work: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/1600-stone-effect-vinyl-picasso-by-envy.html

i’ve got wood effect LVT on our top floor and haven't noticed any noise, however you can buy underlays for LVT which will reduce sound if you were worried. https://www.carpet-underlay-shop.co.uk/products/lvt-acoustic-vinyl-click-flooring-underlay-from-3-99-per-m2 Cork is also a natural sound insulator so you could also consider that. Sisal as colourhappy said would also be good
