HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)

Hi Gaurav, It really depends on what kind of circulation you need around this room. Where the door behind the sofa comes from and where the door next to the shelving takes to... What do you have on the wall from where you took the picture? Is it a window? If you are keeping this rug, definitely the best option would be to put one part facing the other and getting yourself a nice rectangular coffee table. On your first option, you can keep the rug and a lower and squared coffee table is needed. But, bear in mid that you are "blocking" the door and the incoming circulation. And on your second option, you would need a new bigger rug to cover the area and most likely side tables near the sofas too. Another idea is having the sofa in L shape, but standing where you were when taking the picture. It would leave the circulation from the door clear. Please let me know what you think. Good luck, Ana

I would say a single sofa is most comfortable for sitting and It can transform the interior of our home. Recently I had ordered one single sofa from Oriental Creativity at a very good price. You can check this design. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
