Changing your rug would make a huge impact And bring new life to your space...I think the wood can stay no need to pant it..unless that is something you want or planned on doing....

Black would be absolutely amazing!

This Surya rug would look great with the painted cabinets and addition of Mid Century Modern furniture.

I agree with DesignFix re: paint, rug, and keeping wood as is and really like the 1st rug.

Sukhi..your room is much larger than the inspiration room and the wall area is flat....I would first paint the walls and window trim all black and see what you think..The stained wood will really look gorgeous with the black walls...so much easier and will still give a rich dark look...

If you decide not to touch the stained woodwork and do black walls..you could only paint the inside of each coffer black...I really think leaving the woodwork and painting the walls black is the way to go I think you can achieve the same feel as your inspiration image do a high gloss on walls..add some new mid century furniture pieces with your existing leather sofa..add and amazing modern chandelier..it will feel like a completely different room! Good Luck please keep us posted would love to see what you decide on!:)

I agree, some new furniture may be all you need. How do you feel about mid-century modern? Lots of ideas to consider within that style:

A deep dark blue would look nice with the woodwork. Like SW indigo 6531.

For some reason can't get link to work...

If you use that color I think it would be better in flat. Definitely do some samples on the wall in a few different areas before committing. Are you looking to go more monochromatic? I would use a more complimentary color though.

This is a fun tool for color.

Best to use on a lap top or desktop computer. Its a bit wonky for me but kind of fun to try.

When I tried to get a color for the woodwork I ended up with color 946f59 and under Harmony choice complimentary ended up with a deep blue color #597794.

Hi Sukhi...the high gloss is just a suggestion..it gives a very reflective interesting quality to a dark space....otherwise go completely opposite....if not doing high gloss to flat...it also gives a interesting more cloth like quality to a space in black...you can also check into the Ralph Lauren suede finishe paint in black.

Look at Behr..Black Suede......it will really give a deep rich look with the wood.... here's a room with high gloss black walls..
