What color are the chairs and the throw pillows you have now?

@loobab that would have been helpful to include. They are a denim/navy blue

color

Beige and grey can work well together. It's the shore nature palette.

I found this pillow recently. I love it.

Thanks @freedomplace1

our chairs are a denim/navy color; and those are definitely our favorite pieces in the room. I think the pillow you found on Etsy might help tie it together.

the beautiful shore nature pallet you

posed doesn’t have navy on it so I guess I was concerned if these colors worked together.

if it were me I'd just bring in more earth tones in charcoal gray and ivory like this pillow

Beautiful chairs. Yes, navy is in the palette. Any of the blues will work with the shore palette.

Here are some pillow choices from Williams-Sonoma.

They are pricey, but you get the idea.

I do find your wall color a bit dark, but you can brighten up the room with the throw pillows.

I would also get a different light fixture for the dining area.

There is a fantastic lighting company lumens.com

They have all sorts of fixtures at all price points.

Then get a piece of art for that wall behind the dining table.

Does the dining table need to be moved so it is not blocking the corridor, or is that just my eyes?

Your living room would look absolutely fantastic with a multi-colored genuine hand-knotted Persian rug or hand-woven nomadic.

They come in different color ways.

Also, it seems to me that the frame on the art piece over the piano is out of proportion to the mirror frame, and just too heavy for the room.

@freedomplace1, thank you! My colors are all definitely on that palette. I’m glad to know I didn’t totally screw up.

No, no, not at all!

And after the holidays when you put away the decorations, I would get one or two big, busy very tall live green plants, maybe one fiddle leaf fig, and another a kentia palm.

No ficus, they'll die on you.

I just saw the pillow freedom place 1 suggested, that is great too.

Here's the thing.

All the pillows we are suggesting cost a fortune.

Please don't buy them!

You can make them for a song!

Well, a few dollars, and you can sing as you do so :)

Our photos are just to inspire you.

And you can buy the pillow forms in any size you like and any density too.

Some people like those little lumbar pillows which do nothing for me.

I like a big square with dense foam, no feathers either.

When it comes to pillows, I'm like Sally is about sandwiches in that movie When Harry Met Sally.

WOW, @loobab thank you so much! To me the paint color is actually really light but it’s probably because we just had it repainted from a really dark golden beige called SW Latte; so we went up about 30 on the LRV.

Those throw pillow pics do give me some great ideas and I ❤️ the rug in the last picture you sent. Any idea where it’s from?

You are definitely right about the frame around the picture above the piano. It’s on my upgrade list. I feel like the frame it’s currently in steals the show from the art. I was thinking a thin gold frame or maybe a thin natural wood frame. I don’t have any other gold in the room. Thoughts?

I’d love to get window treatments at some point too.

I think the dining table looks like it’s blocking the walk way because of the angle I took the picture. I’ll post a better picture below.

What do you think of this fixture for above the dining table? I’ll check out the website you gave me.

I do really want an oversized piece of art behind my dining table but I want it to be something that has meaning to it.

You're welcome. I would call this a 'happy accident'. The beige and tans, etc. really give a warmth to greys and together it's an elegant combination. It's a good thing. 👍

Genuine hand knotted Persians are always one-of a kind, you'll never find two that are exactly the same.

In fact if you do, they are probably not the real McCoy.

(Now that's a mixed metaphor!)

Well, that's not exactly true, the makers are given a pattern to work from, but since they are hand made, there is always variation.

Especially if they are using vegetable dyes which is what you want.

It's like if you knit two sweaters from the same pattern, they won't be exactly the same both times.

That one was a photo I got from the internet, I don't remember from where.

If you want a Persian in the blue family, Nain is often in the blue family as is Isfahan.

But there are so many others that I don't even know about.

The market for Persians has been down for ages, you can get a great deal now.

What would have been $10,000 twenty years ago is $2,000 now.

You do have to know what you are doing and educate yourself and go to a reputable dealer.

I am not crazy for the chandelier, it seems rather run of the mill, and heavy.
