HELP! Need Color and Decor advice!
Hi there! I have major decorating questions!
1) I am looking for some advice on another color/colors and patterns to introduce into my apartment. Currently I have a large zebra rug, gray furniture, curtains and pink accents. I just bought a new Banksy canvas print in all pink pictured below and I think that will be enough of the pink for now. I am not sure if I should hang it above the chair where the current pink painting is or if I should put it over the couch.
Some other ideas I have for this room are to place a large mirror over the couch - but in what colors? woodsy? What about lighting? Do i need some floor lamps? what style? what colors? I have this random council table that is not pictured below but sits across from the couch against the other wall blocking the fireplace - for now I can't get rid of it - what should I do with it? Against that same wall is my TAV that sits on the mantle because I can't hang it on the wall (not sturdy enough) so it has to sit on the mantle. What should i do behind that TV on that wall? I was thinking peel off wallpaper - but what color? I was also thinking of buying two zebra heads from anthropologie and putting one on either side of the tv - or doing that and the wall paper. And what should i place on the mantle?
All Ideas are appreciated!

I agree with michigammemom, blue would balance the pink nicely. Maybe replacing the salmon pink cushions? Personally I would paper the walls in a subtle geometric in a slightly paler version of the curtain (drape) colour to cosy up the space and make it more grown up. Definately no more zebra or animal print, the rug makes a great focal point but any more and you've got a themed room.
Could you place matching large lamps onto simple plinths either side of the armchair in front of the windows to improve mood lighting and add pleasing symmetry?
