Pick just about anything but gray. White? Navy blue? Navy and a little gray? All good! Not leather , but fabric. Get a coffee table and keep it light and open.

In the meantime lower the picture grouping above the sofa by a good six inches! Too high : ) I realize thats work, but bring it down about half the distance to the couch top from where the lowest two are now hung.

Color of fringe on rug or light pillows on sofa. A grey throw over back of one of chairs. I really like your black and whites over sofa.

Agree with Jan, I'd go with navy or cream. Add in a pop of yellow or lime for some brightness (with a vase and some pillar candles or something on the shelves and with a throw pillow or blanket). Not too much, just in 3 spots or so.

I agree you need color I would start by getting a rug with more color , remove that stand beside the sofa and add another endtable so you can have some lamps with matbe gold or glass bases and black shades. Then choose a color from the rug foe chairs . The drapes look really skimpy so i would add some panels and IMO navy is the wrong color. I agree about the art being lowered. I would do drapes in a nice linen the same color as the walls These are a couple of rugs to give you some ideas

I love your gray, ivory, and black monochromatic room. I would do an ivory chair...

great job so far

love kjoy's suggestion to continue your neutrals

but caramel( suggested above) would be really lovely too. or teal or aubergine..or yellow..:) grays are easy to work with..listen to yourself a bit..look at the room listen to it too..can be taken several directions. whatever you created is really nice backdrop currently, for different ideas. which one speaks to you most?

what material are your curtains made of? would love to see some texture there..but hard to see maybe there already..

yes to lowering your art..shouldn't be hard unless too heavy and studs etc..

Thank you everyone for such wonderful ideas. I now have bit clearer image on what would look better in the room. Thanks again, you guys are amazing! I will post a follow up soon :)
