I think the teal and mustard look good as contrasts on the sofa. I'd be happy with it.

Thanks Daisy, I do like the colour combination - just thought the look may have been a bit much paired with the rug & zebra etc.. Nice to know you'd be happy with it though

Lots of nice ideas and colours, but, for me, the rug dominates.

I would possibly change teal to blush pink and add a bit more copper.

I'd pull the rug forward so it's about halfway under the sofa, not all the way to the wall. Lower the art, turn the end tables, get bigger lamps. I like the colours.

I think it looks great, I love the distinctive pattern in the rug, possibly the artwork and rug together are bringing too much activity to the room, if it was my apartment I would replace the artwork and replace the cushions (although the petrol cushions look well) adding a dash of "orange" to the palette ..

Loving the earlier ideas! I love the rug but think the zebra picture doesn't work with. I would go for a large calming abstract art type picture on that wall in whatever your chosen colours are.

Thank you everyone for your comments, really helpful! :)

@JenP - I'd saved the excact same photo as a possibility! I have this colour combo in my bedroom and love it - maybe i'll have to have it in both...

@ Regina & @Sarah Chapman - Thank you, I do feel the same & think its time for the Zebra to go..

@Comegetme - Great idea with the plant, I'll be looking for one to go by the window

@Carolina - Good point about the lamps, I i think this will also make the room come together a bit more,

Thanks again everyone, I've got a clearer idea now - I was thinking of changing the wall colour behind sofa but will go with these options first! x

I like your rug! I would put sofa on 1/3 of rug or just front legs. Nice color combination too. The wall art is too high, need 13-18 sm above the sofa.

Some inspiration for drapes and wall art height

Hi, with the exception of distance away from wall ( I would move it slightly less of a distance away - about 100-150 max), my thoughts were exactly in line with @comegetme - which, may I add threw me a little. These small differences would make a massive difference.

@ design & interiors ... You are right here, not sure why I wrote 500 lol

You have some lovely elements in the
room. Perhaps change the artwork and maybe then the rug if it looked too
much. Here
are some original artwork suggestions below. For more information feel free to

I think the discordant notes are the striped teal pillow in combination with the rug and picture and mustard. I'd be tempted to keep the zebra (colourwise it works) but remove the teal. Have your cushions in grey/touches of mustard or gold and pick this up in your kitchen too.

Or move the mustard ottoman from the room altogether and see if that allows the rest to balance. It might be all you need to do. Possibly also remove striped cushion too; it might be you just need to pare things back a bit and add more colour with plants etc.
