I like the contrast to the other light features in the room.

I think it looks great.

It's not the depth of color that seems a bit off balance to me, it's the red tone of the wood. It may be just coming out that way on my monitor. Your couches and floors almost seem like a butterscotch color... light/medium tone; as does the wood behind your TV. Since your artwork has black in it and your walls/brick is white; I'm thinking more of an expresso color might look nice if your want dark contrast. Just my 2 cents worth... good luck!

I like it!!

I like it. But, if you have something darker, close to the espresso color RemodelFla mentioned, you could put it in the LR and see how it looks.

I like them also, but also agree with remodelfl that the tables in espresso would look better.

I love it! I think espresso would be too dark, too much of a contrast. I think the reddish tone of it warms up a palette that otherwise is very even.

I also see that the side table picks up some of the colors in the painting above it.

I think the tables are fine, but your wall color needs to be warmer, and you could add a muted rug to pull it all together.

I would pull a color from the granite.

Its working, don't send it back. Find a colorful rug to put under the coffee table for a burst of color tie-in, and to pull everything in. If you want to know whats killing you decor-wise its that silver/black accents TV setup. Get rid of that base and find a dark wood cabinet to place the TV on or in, and try to get those speakers off the stands and less obvious.

Also, that giant silver subwoofer is not doing you any favors. Since subs are not directional, consider placing it behind the sofa.

It looks good, but I agree the wall color could be warmer.

Thank you very much, everybody. We are used to them after living with them for 2 days and we love them. It's just that we have always had light furniture, until now, and were a little shocked by the contrast. We thought about the espresso tone, but because we will be replacing the loveseat with a red, leather chair ( had to be special ordered, but it's this chair in red, and won't get here until May: http://www.jordans.com/room_facts.asp?item=LE1-62372-0amp;room=livingroom&style=contemporary&type=chairslth&size=&index=21 ) and a black accent table ( this one: http://www.zfurniture.com/raglta.html ) and an ottoman, to open up that area a little bit, we figured that the reddish tables would tie in the room completely.

Duane, yes, we're also aware that the silver table and speakers have to go, but unfortunately, we may have to wait a little bit longer because we just finished a kitchen remodel and need to start increasing our savings again, but it will be changed, at some point, hopefully to something closer to the wood of the tables or even black.

Thanks again, everybody for your valuable input. You made it so much easier for us to appreciate this purchase.

Yeah, I was thought a similar thing with the TV stand/speakers. Otherwise it looks great.

There are some really nice wood TV stands out there now. The company I'm ordering my new kitchen from has this wood tv stand that can be ordered in a variety of different stains. I has been eyeing it myself since my kitchen is going to have such a strong wood theme.

Ha woops - I have been eyeing it myself I meant.

Wanted to also say, I'm not a fan of leather furniture, but thats a pretty good looking swivel chair.
