I want to re decorate my living room but I have no imagination so looking for some help!

We have a walnut laminate floor. I hate it but I can't afford to rip it up and replace it right now so it will have to stay for now.

I also have a dark brown leather couch that also needs to stay so I need to build the room around these.

Currently, I have 3 cream walls and a feature wall painted a sort of coffee colour. Curtains are cream with leaf patterns in dark brown, light brown and teal.

I'm a bit fed but of neutral colours and we recently purchased some wall art that I'd love to build the room around -

The pictures are very similar to this -

I'd love the colour scheme to be built around these but still matching the dark couch and floors.

Help please??

I really like dark blue at the moment for living rooms. Ours is white of course but never mind! Like this (with similar couch/floor to you?)

I love that colour - I was worried it might make the room seem too dark though. We have french windows into the garden but actually dont get that much light into the room so if I went for that colour, I'd need to add lighter colours or additional lighting to make sure it didn't seem too dark.

yes, I have a similar conundrum, really love the dark blue, e.g. Hague Blue from F&B or Sapphire Salute from Dulux, but similarly, our living room is not that light, so I lack the courage at this point, my worry is that it would be lovely and cosy at nigh with appropriate lighting etc., but really dark during the day!

Our front room is a dark gray and I was worried it would close the room in and initially only wanted a feature wall in the dark colour but decided to do all walls and I love it. I've attached a photo :) we did dark walls with black photo frames and white lamps etc

Colour scheme help please?
