Bigger rug on next purchase. You could paint the coffee table if you want to keep it there, maybe cream? do you have another view of the room? Pillows too big for cream chair.

Here are a few more pics.. We just moved a couple of weeks ago so don't mind the mess.. Also a pic of our bedroom ... Pictures? Or mirrors?

Appreciate your feedback

Pictures or mirrors would be great! You have a lot of options. I like the plum idea. I would pick any color as your accent with the grey and cream, looks like you have been working with turquoise. Having both sofas is a bit much for the room. Can you move the second and just have sofa and two cream chairs (move chairs to where second sofa is)? Remove the bolsters from the sofa and put the pillows from the chairs on the sofa. Change the little side table between the two chairs to something silver. Accents can be in silver or glass, or vintage items. texture would be great to add too, like a cream shag rug! If you do a cream shag rug, add pattern in the curtains and pillows.

The room has great potentials , grey is cross over color that allows you to play off with lots of other colors , before you decide on your color story you need to know what feel or mood you want the living room in , ask yourself couple of questions like, do I like warm colors or cool colors? do I like texture? how is the space going to function? etc

Looking at the pictures, focal point if the fire place is the focal point then arrange the furniture in a way that defines it better , do check out what is the undertone grey coaches , purple ,blue, green, but your color palette is unlimited , you would want to change the coffee table based on your needs glass is not a bad option, you need a floor lamp an end table the book case can be placed in another room you can add white accents for a cleaner look for a more playful feel lime green yellow is a way to go , more accessories , a big nice painting with colors behind the coach can help you a lot with your color feel.

let me what do you think? I will be more then happy to help you with your projects

What a nice room! You have lots of pretty pieces. I love the grey.

The above picture is for 'inspiration'. If you like this style, you might be able to pull a few ideas from this photograph:

1. Pull your furniture off the walls. For example, the two cream chairs might sit closer to the sofas, with the small table (painted a dark grey) between them. If possible a lamp or decoration would add a pop of interest to the grouping.

2. Your grey walls look great. But, if you plan on changing the colour, I'd choose white.

3. It appears that you have some turquoise accents in the room. This is attractive with the grey and cream and could be enhanced. These curtains are from Bed, Bath & Beyond. Two panels are $50. The monitor doesn't show it, but in addition to the grey and white chevrons, there is a thin line of turquoise.

3. When you choose a larger area rug, it could repeat your current colours: grey, turquoise, cream. You might even want to really accentuate the turquoise. When you purchase the rug, ask if you can return it within a day or two if it's not compatible with your sofas. Keep the tags on and the receipt until you're sure it's a keeper.

4. The large clock above the mantel is good.

5. I think the black corner shelf is too small for the room. Do you have another place for it?

6. Above the full wall behind the sofa, find something special to hang. I don't know your taste or budget, but there are nice prints available at www.art.com . Frames are relatively inexpensive at Hobby Lobby. Or for a more modern look, ask Hobby Lobby to stretch the poster onto art canvas, fold the edges to the back, and staple.

7. The coffee table appears to be the correct height, but it's too long for your grouping. The two sofas and this table make the room look very narrow. Again, depending on your decorating preferences, you might want to visit a second-hand store or summer "antique" fair and look for something with lots of personality. My coffee table is an old carpenter's tool chest that I purchased for $150. We stripped off the old paint, and polished it with Tongue Oil. It's a nice piece of pine, and it's been great for additional storage. (You might want to keep your extra afghans close at hand.)

Good luck. You're off to a great start!

I love your color combination! But, your sofas and floors are dark so I would pull in a few more pillows with white and more pattern and texture... your carpet should be bigger to make the room feel bigger. Go lighter on the carpet and the curtain panels and add a pattern to at least one of them. Once your carpet goes lighter, your coffee table can go darker and maybe glass top would be good. Yes, on the large wall art behind the sofa and sparkle on the coffee table...the photo below

is from a "staged" condo I did but, it gives the same flavor of balance needed.

BTW, the grey and pink in your bedroom is very nice. Love the wall treatment.

As time and budget allows, I suggest that you:

1. Purchase two matching tables, one for each side of the bed.

2. Buy two glass lamps with white or cream shades. The glass doesn't absorb any visual space. (See example from 'inspiration' photograph that I attached in my last entry.)

3. Untie the curtains. If you can, buy two more identical curtain panels. As a rule, curtains should be 1 1/2 to 2 times the width of the window. The additional fabric makes the window look more finished.

4. I'd skip putting a mirror above the bed.

5. To add some architectural depth to the room, you might want to hang a shelf above the bed and decorate it with some pinks: a few books stacked, a candle, a white vase with some dried lavender.

6. BTW, the longer the shelf, the stronger the impact.
   

7. If you're DIY-capable of painting the black shelf from your living room, and safely affixing it to the wall, it might be an interesting shelf to hang horizontal. (Picture is ugly, but you'll get the idea.)

Hope a few of these suggestions help.

Cute place!

Technically the gray-white rug could be larger but it's a good color with the sofas. I'd keep it or buy something larger and similar.

The coffee table is a keeper too but I'd repeat some colors. On the coffee table repeat the gray sofa color with a gray vase and gray books. (I see a gray vase on the etagere.) On the sofas repeat the yellow coffee table color with yellow pillows. A gray art above the sofa would be nice (as shown in photo1 DR). No pillows on the chairs. click photo 1

Balance the gray etagere with a gray floor lamp. click photo 2

Bedroom is fine: click photo 3 for curtain placement suggestion.

Hi, I've got an idea with crystal chandelier http://etsy.me/1Bf6Qrc

Here is my favorite color scheme with gray sofas. I would do a plain linen drape - same color as chairs, or with gray stripe on windows and glass tables as in photo.

There are some beautiful rugs out there. You should just browse through some of the rug sites looking at gray/black rugs. Here are a few I found which I think would look great in your room, keeping colors simple so you can add your favorite color in pillows and accessories.

A few looks for you:

I see you already have some teal accents. I would find other ways to bring that color into your room-perhaps through art, some patterned pillows, an area rug, and other accessories.

Love your couches. The thing that stands out for me is your coffee table. If in your budget, I would look for a table that works better-either a glass table, mirrored table, or darker wood table. Someone suggested painting it an off white color. Also, painting it in a metallic color would be nice. Annie Sloan makes a chalk paint that is easy to use. If you want to paint it metallic, you can find so many products that are spray paints and also very easy to use.

In regards to window treatments, simple panels would look nice and would simply soften the space.

Lastly, I would love to see a large piece of art with the accent colors you choose-whether that be teal, plum, or yellow. Great start!

Coffee tables:

A larger rug could look better in your room.

Area rug suggestion:

RIO COLLECTION

While large rugs can visually warm a room in winter, I prefer wood floor; however, a lot of people disagree with me. As rugs go, I actually like this one: I also like the coffee table; I just don't like the two together.

Before you make a decision, may I suggest that you first, (and without the coffee table) try turning this rug the other way so it doesn't stick out beyond the length of the sofa(s). If you think this looks better but still aren't satisfied with this rug, consider looking for a room rug that is the width of the wider sofa and the length of from the wall behind one sofa to the back legs of the other sofa or chairs across from it. While your at it, look for throw pillows that will pick up the color of any rug and/or window treatment you do choose.

Edit to add: While I'm not usually a fan of painting wood, have you considered painting the coffee table -- perhaps a muted gunmetal blue/gray?

Nice room and nice sofas. I love some of the renderings Houzzers have done for you! I didn't read all the comments so this may have been mentioned, but I'd move the corner shelves to another room. Also, I think I'd square the chair pair so the table isn't so far from both. Or just move the table to serve one chair or the other.
