Interesting. You could have described the color as a shade of chocolate or even earth, which makes me wonder if you're unhappy with the color and might want to change it before thinking about pillows. In any case, in order to truly picture this color, we probably need to know what kind of cow...

Can you post photos of the space and furnishings?

i have a feeling there is a distinct reason for the maid kitchen. thanks celerygirl for the def on a puja room. I don't think we should mess with that either. I like the drawing room. it is contained and allows your company to see exactly what you want them to see. If we are allowed to rearrange rooms, I would move the LR up toward the foyer, then use the current spot as the sitting room or library. I also do not like where the public bathroom is (too many spy novels I guess) I would rather it be closer to the public rooms and not you have to go past both bedrooms to get there. Or maybe, since they are both like master bedrooms have the c and the m open on your new sittingroom/libary? but if you move the living room up, everyone wont be walking through your dining room.

For start I would get rid of those blinds.it would open the space up.I would get those linen drapes in cream color and put them next to each window.I would also put a couch looking toward the windows and in right corner i would try and get a media table and put tv on it.maybe get a nice carper (jute is nice with dark floors)and I would get some nice chandelier maybe industril or modern looking and some small table to go infront of the sofa.this room has a lots of potnetial.do not give up :)
