I would paint the doors the same colour as the cabinets. Looks like you also like a bit of glamour. I would change the light fixture and hang a chandelier.

Do you have lights built in in the bookcases? If not, I'm pretty sure there are battery powered ones available. Or perhaps you have power points in/near the bookcases?

Anyway, does this style appeal to you?

Hi Carolina,

Thank you for answering. My husband will be pleased you said white for the doors, I was thinking black for a contrast and to match the fireplace, but perhaps it would make the room appear smaller. No lights in bookshelves. I don't mind that style, but not so much the style of the ottomans though.

I Definitely would Suggest some classic style. A bit of glamour without take the simplicity form your view. It’s wonderful room omg I can imagine all ready

thank you :) yeah I agree. do you think if I go for 2 single arm chairs, they have to match each other? but complete the couch, which would be a different style.

Hi it’s my pleasure to give you a little support on your choice . I think it will be wonderful with Big coach Twoo chair and one vey stylish single chair as the view point !!! You can mix the classic with a modern chair too . Many options you will have . Once you choose the colours over your room you will start to see much better with your choice

It’s also good one A bit more modern in but more personal like your own statement

Caroline I am sure you guys will find your style very soon . It’s so exciting when you are in that stage . Start with your choice of colours and the rest will floating as you get the picture!!!! Take care

thanks again, and I hadn't thought of that style of chair, food for thought. thanks :)

@Brazucaself228, I'm not the poster with the dilemma ;-)

Stylish

Thanks Carolina, yeah, I see how odd ones can work. Thanks so much :)

PRO

Brazucaself228 I think those chairs are a bit too modern for me. :)

Can you put a rug on carpet? or is it too silly?

You can, but I wouldn't. I don't think it's necessary. And your carpet is lovely.

You can customise with a small but statement chair only it will be great .

Once your bookcases are filled, you have art on the wall, maybe brought in some pattern with cushions and/or chairs, you'll probably need the visual resting point of the carpet. But you can always see how it looks/feels then and add a rug.
