Hi Simran, I totally agree with you. The string lights are beautiful but do not last long. You can use lanterns instead, they look equally stunning. Try getting some in geometric shapes or paper lanterns. If you're still hooked up to the typical string lights, you may go ahead with battery powered LED string lights. A little pricey but worth every penny! Hope you enjoy lighting up the place :)Geometric Pendants Battery operated LED's Good Ol' Paper Lanterns

Pendants seem like a better geometric fit.

Thanks all, for the suggestion. Yes will stick to white for all other sides of the room. one is full glass with curtains, the other is behind the sofa, a plain wall as of now with no art or anything, this is just opposite to the brick wall. The 4th side is the foyer and a small wall with a artsy clock. The living area is more an open plan, that leads to dining on one side. I am looking for wall art ideas too. I create my own art for the home, I have not gone commercial, just do some art for friends too when they ask as gifts :-). We are changing all the furniture in this room, including the softa. have ordered recliners in light brown color, A square center table with stools underneath, and a side small curio/book shelf. Thanks once again.

Not necessary to use only paint for the change. There are different applications like wall papers, textured particle board, wooden panels etc. It actually depends on who is using the room. For the changed looks, go for wall paper on one wall and color selection as per the age of the user.
