You could also bring in some texture with bamboo sticks or decorative branches and help balance a bit the height of your room with small scale furniture. Spray paint them if you find the perfect size and shape but they aren't the color that you need. Ikea carries white decorative stalks for a very good price. the ones in the 1st picture hold well with small kids around and you don't need a vase for them. there are washi paper or crinkly paper floor lamps with a soft beautifully diffused glow For a budget friendly version check ikea or target http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80028552/

Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

Hi. 1. Install hydraulics on existing shelving. But before installing that go for a washable paint. Kitchens get dirty daily and you can clean the inside easily. They will cost you less and you will have maximum space. 2. Install few rods to hang in your essentials. 3. Get a pantry section done. 4. Use vertical arrangements for cabinets so that your kitchen stuff stays inside giving a cool look on the outside. 5.If possible get a sink done in utility area so your kitchen is always tidy. 6. Try not to waste your space in the kitchen in case you have the utility area near to kitchen just by providing lpg storage in utility area. 7. Paint colours of walls, Tiles and laminates of cabinets/shutters should be contrasting each other to give a good look.
