    Take a stand about what style and color you want.
    It is up to your taste whether you want one or the other.
    We can address the other issues of your room once you figure out your sofa/loveseats.
    Personally we like the lighter sofa and think you should get 2 chairs or a love seat that compliments/matches it. :)

    Since you asked;)) I would return the grey sofa. I would get 2 chairs- NO loveseat;)

    Something is telling me to keep the dark color couch. You can get a taller lamp and some light color pillows.

    OK VizX Design Studios, what is your rationale on keeping these 2 sofa's together? They are a definite clash of style. AND it makes the room over crowded. Let's spar;))

    Can you give me an example of the chairs you would recommend? I REALLY need help. 2 seagrass chairs from Pottery Barn??

    Margo I didn't say keep them both. I just stated for some reason that I like the darker colored couch.

    the dark sofa is not beefy enough to be with the light one or the coffee table.

    My vote would be to return the grey and purchase another white couch. If you remove the table that was behind the grey couch, it will feel roomier as the couch will be able to go back a bit. Rug should be moved so the couch's front legs rest on it. I would find pillows and a throw that work well with the wall color. Once you add accessories on the coffee table, your room should feel more complete.

    You are using my favorite color there! Green, pale blue, even orange and red look amazing playing off your accent wall! I'd pick a color out of your art and be fearless with a couple chairs! The chairs pictured are leather recliners, but my family really enjoys hanging out on swivel bottom rockers and there are lots of great fabric options with Sam Moore. (Mine are solid charcoal - so no inspiration to you! The second pic might work! Good Luck!

    I'm going to get in trouble here but someone's got to say it- the dark sofa is wearing her LBD and she's sitting with a rumpled used car salesman. I dislike the pull-together look because I think it's a cop-out for good design but sometimes it can be pulled off. I don't think this will fly.

    @Natalie-I'm generally not into delicate seating, but that is a sa-weet looking chair.

    I agree with @Decorative Philosophy-pick a style and build around it, but one or the other should go.

    If you like the style of the sofa, and the color is what you can't pull together try a slip cover.
