I really love the textured cushion on the right. Nothing wrong with your elegant colours, I just think a little too much bling. Maybe replace one of the gold ones with another textured cushion.

Love it. Perhaps include something with sparkle or metallic on the table to balance the cushions and mirror.

One problem is that your curtains aren't full enough for the wide window. Houzz might have a formula but I found one here: http://www.ehow.com/way_6038775_many-should-hung-double-window_.html. Also, try this: remove the tie backs and let the curtains fall naturally. That should help a little with the fullness. Then buy pillows that bring in those colors. You can also add color to that bookcase by painting it the same color as the wall for a more built-in look. Add more collectibles or books to the shelves. Then find a large graphic poster for that long wall. Next pull the sofa and chairs closer to the fireplace so that they have at least two feet on the rug. Pull the end table closer to the furniture. Drop the picture on the right of the window down about 5". It's way too high.

fragle0 ... congratulations on the new addition to your family. Have been following your lovely changes. You probably won't have time to work on the decor for a while. Just wanted to suggest that you try pulling the nesting tables forward to be more in line with front of the chairs & placing your floor lamp to the back of them. This will give a bit more light at night for reading in that area.Also switching the plant by the fireplace & the one on the corner by the sofa.

Go for a beige upholstered headboard, white bedding, beige throw & some feature cushions that have the beige & grey in them. Another option is to paint the walls to a similar shade as the wardrobe so it blends in. I would be careful what you do for furniture, possibly steer clear of too much more timber

Looks good - I would just change the very left one to something with more texture. At the moment it is much more yellow gold than the other cushions which have more a copper or rose gold colour.

Otherwise just leave it as it is!! There isn't anything that I would notice wrong if I just walked into your house and saw it like that - in fact I would think it looked good - it is only when you have a close up photo and are asked for opinions that we perhaps start looking at the whole set up a bit more critically:)

Thank you Robynandlyn I do appreciate your comment, it is a bit yellow compared to others, will look for a more textured one, my husband thinks I have gone over the top with the gold but it does bring a lovely shine to the room.

For a more sophisticated look, I think go natural- some plain, other with some texture. We love styling with a touch of blue- its timeless & calming!

Thank you Lyn, lovely comment, the cushions give a bit of a shiny lift to this room, especially on a cold wintery day that Melbourne has just had but when the sun is shining they add a warm glow, thank you again.

Just remember your husband should love it too unless it is a room just for you.

Hi Lesley, he has softened a little on the cushions, he actually commented that the warmth they give to the room was quite lovely, I was so happy to hear that little compliment. its a room that you walk through to the rest of the house so I thought a bit of bling would bring a smile.

Hi Siriuskey, thank you for your lovely comment, I bought the mirror first, have had it a few years and struggled to get the look right beneath it
