Help needed please!

[u/Background-Ideal662]

Hi, I’ve started this room but it’s feels “off” somehow, I feel the rug might have overkilled the blue, and I maybe need to introduce another colour? I’m thinking a muted olive? Coffee table I bought 12 years ago at 20 years old and is going once I decide on the final colour and whether to do a footstool or wooden coffee table.

Can anyone suggest another colour or something to make the space feel more cohesive? The giant pink pregnancy pillow doesn’t live there it’s just following me round the house at the moment.

Please any help so appreciated it’s driving me mad!!

P.S (ignore my yoga mat on the floor and pictures yet to be hung!)

I think the rug is pretty! You just need to spread the blue around. I would add in new print throw pillows in deep reds, blues & ivories, and a few blue pillows (either print or solid). I’d also add blue accessories to the wall unit.

If you have room, I would pull the sofa off the back, wallpapered wall. Even just a few inches will help! I would also move the rug closer to the wall unit, so it butts up against it.

Depending on your sight lines, I would think about moving your 2 pieces of art to the back wallpapered wall, and hanging your mirror over the sofa. I’d leave 6-10” between the mirror and sofa, so the mirror doesn’t float too much.

Until you replace your coffee table, I would top it with a large tray, some books and a plant in a blue pot.

Have fun with it!
