I would really like to fully revamp my lounge. I have a fireplace without a surround but has a wrought iron fire basket sitting in neutral tiles. I wouldn't want to change that, neither would I want to replace my identical 2 & 3 seater sofa's which are grey, picture attached. Also the carpet is in great shape and the room often is cold so I want to keep that which is a neutral oatmeal/cream colour. Apart from that curtains/walls/everything else can be replaced or painted, ie I have wooden sofa tables that can be painted or distressed accordingly but I have no idea how to put a room together. I visit Ikea and see their room settings and they look so amazing yet my house is so bland
It's currently grey sofa, maroon/darker red curtains with gold thread pattern, home made art on the walls and wooden table/tv unit and mirror on the fireplace wall
Suggestions please - I was wondering if lilac might go well with what I have or duck egg blue but that feels a bit dated as that was an in colour a few years ago.
My house is an old turn of the century period house with large decorative cornice, no beams so I'd like to keep it more on the traditional side rather than sleek and modern clean lines.
