So is the furniture shown in the photos staying in the room?

IMO a close up of the tile would be ahuge help. Not sure what you mean about the furniture so explain that. We nned a bit more info please I think if you love the purple and gray why not use a purple/ gray for the walls maybe just a hint of color

Hi. Need more info. Can't ignore what is going in the room and wall colors are chosen, once furniture and accessories are chosen.

Thanks!

I love violet grays and use a lot of violet grays, taupe and teal greens in my décor.

I like basing colors on nature:

The challenge I see with your color palette is joining the violet grays with the cream walls that are in the adjoining rooms.

You will need to incorporate some creams, so many of the taupe colors (beige/gray with violet undertones won't work well with the creamier (more yellow) beige/off white on your other walls.

I have a few items in my home that have some purples and greener grayish greens with cream or off whites, but those are more difficult to find.

I saw this wall paper and thought it could be a palette that would pull these together.

Violet and beige doesn't happen a lot in nature, but it is unique and beautiful when you find it . . .

Here are some other images with the creamy whites and violets combined.

Hope this gives you some inspiration.

Remove the current tile. Don't go with cool colors against all that warm wood. Get some beautiful handmade ceramic tile in earth tones and a matte finish. A few examples for inspiration:

I see no reason to keep the marble, nor work around it with that much wood. Sorry, it's to paint yourself into a corner.

The chimney breast is not original, either.

Get your design ideas together regarding the rest of the room, first. Then? Change it.

Purple like your marble around the fireplace, plus orange like all that wood, call for green. I'd say a deep bright but dark green, like an emerald. That makes a triadic color scheme and is one of my favorites. You'll want to lighten it up with some cream.

Here are a variety of rugs that will work in your room. Some even work with the color of your section, though the furnishings layout for this room are not really complementary to the architecture.

If there is enough room, you can have two comfortable chairs (like wingbacks) at the fireplace and use a complementary color fabric. Then the rest of the room can be the “main” seating area and design in a way that works but isn’t dominated by the purple.

You can also design the room to your liking and ignore the purple.

I like your rug but it’s small for the room. Beverly showed you a variety of ideas that make the room look great. Note the size of the rugs she used.

This is the perfect opportunity to bring cool grays into the color scheme. You are already on the right track with your furniture. I absolutely would incorporate it. It makes the room. A combo of warm and cool tones is so current.

Let the marble be the focal for the room and with its busy pattern, let it shine, I'd stick with solid fabrics and rug. The patterned rug and pillows, although the same color range, are distracting.

Love the bare white walls and wood trim, they are also current. Stick with the contemporary theme and go clean and spare two-tone for the room. In the first photo the eye already locks on that beautiful marble. I know minimal is the opposite of Victorian but with that perfect furniture and that paint job.....wow....just sayin'!

I'd embrace the tile and get a rug to complement it. This one's from Anthropologie:

If you want to furnish your home in keeping with Victorian style, there are plenty of pictures on HOUZZ and Google that can guide you that show you don't have to be a purist. If you provide the dimensions of your room and furnishings plus a few more photos, you can get good advice here.

Keep the tile if you like it. Beautiful home!

Forgot to post this one...

I liked some of the rugs suggested by BeverlyFLADeziner and picked the one belowbecause of the grey sofa. Just tweeked it by showing creamier white walls and adding white accent pillows. I'm suggesting a few white paint colours but paint always needs to be tested prior to painting a room. Can't really comment on an alternate furniture layout without a floor plan.
