You have some great pieces to start with, love your sofa and coffee table! Your room demands a larger rug, another sofa or large chairs, however, perhaps, the rug could also provide an idea for the wall color as well as curtains and accessories. Since the room gets plenty of light, you could do a darker wall color, and perhaps bring in an unexpected hue as well, why not! Cream Curtains and Accessories will work great with that, bringing the light back in, and maybe a third color in the rug could be chairs, pillows, etc.

Light gray would look elegant with your hardwoods and white trim. Nice room!

As a Color Consultant, I would recommend gray, specifically, Mindful Gray, SW 7016 (sherwin-williams.com). It will compliment your sofa beautifully and give you a rich, tone-on-tone feeling. Good luck!

Ann - what do you like from Pantone's 2013 color selection? I'm so tired of grey and greige. Their neutrals next year are interesting; I'm sure you've seen them.

linen is a strong color looking forward both in fashion and home decor, mixed w/blues Monaco blue, to a grayed jade are also going to be strong colors. Nice tip decoenthusiaste

A nice grey, blue grey or tan color would be nice in the room.

I have a very,very pale blue on walls in a south facing room. Keeps the room feeling cooler and soothing when the sun shines in all day and yet its not overpowering to the rest of the room color balance. Perhaps adding a darker colored occasional chair or two against the other wall will soak up some of light and bring balance to the room. A larger patterned rug could pull the colors of these chairs and the sofa together. Everything you have in there now seems to bounce the light alot - this will give places for it to settle and it won't seem so bright.
