Have had sofa recovered. Need ideas for rest of room.
Need second 2 seater sofa, blinds at two windows behind pictured sofa, wall art, rug etc. It is not a big room. Colour and style suggestions would be great.

olldbobbi For your second sofa, have it upholstered the solid color in the one pictured. You have plentry of color and pattern already, you don't want to add more! It's difficult to respond to the rest of your needs because we can't see the windows or walls, can you add more pics, please?

For your area rug, you could go with a solid, tweed or one that picks up all the colors in your sofa:

[houzz=Natural Harmony, Terra Cotta]
[houzz=Color-Bound Seagrass Rug, Natural]

mpoulsom What about 2 chairs in a neutral textured cream or tan fabric instead of another couch....or just one big chair, if there's not enough room. Then add some throw pillows in the light turquoise color.

PH Interiors, LLC One of the first things I would do is replace the curtains with floor length ones.

mpoulsom maybe some woven blinds with cream curtains or turquoise curtains? Depending on whether you are keeping the walls white. You can get the woven bamboo blinds in the light tan or a darker brown shade, depending on how much contrast you want. It looks like you have both browns in your couch.

nevadan Yhis is bizarre looking. What do you have in mind? Who will be using this room and for what?

houssaon I like to funky crazy-quilt look to your sofa and agree two neutral club chairs would be perfect. I think matchstick blinds would also loo good.

I'd like to see the walls a deeper shade of blue: Baltic Sea Paint or Antiqued Aqua Paint.

studio | FORMA Wow, that was a very gutsy upholstering job. Great to see your love for pattern and color!!

I agree with "mpoulson", two side chairs would look much better than adding another sofa. You could place them either on the side wall or if you have the space across from the sofa(preferred location). Also the seagrass rug is a great suggestion.

sjacobsfabian Bolder/bigger tchotchkes (all tiny gets lost), warm paint and the peony stripe rug. You seem to like bold so I say, 'go for it!' I don't think you'll be disappointed. The couch is awesome.
