Also please replace the heavy maroon drapes with a lighter treatment. Maroon against parrot green is a really bad combination for interiors. Now that I am looking at it on my system, I confirmed that you also seem to have one pink wall.. If you are partial to strong colours, paint one wall a medium cobalt or jade green if you must, but leave the rest of the room off-white. However, I get the feeling from the photograph that there isn't enough natural light in the room. so it may be preferable to go with mushroom or sand on one wall and leave the rest of the walls off-white. And by that I mean a plain base white with just a touch of ochre stainer or turkey umber which still makes it look white, but warmer.

You also have a lot of traditional furniture with dark upholstery. Liven these up with plain beige for the base upholstery and some bold plain and throw cushions. Stripes also look good on traditional furniture. This will give it a more modern look

Hello there,

The living room appears clumsy and dark due to the following reasons:

1. Dark color contrasts - green wall, pink wall and dark curtains

2. Dark furniture

3. Double arches

4. Staircase railing in dark walnut finish

5. Absence of appropriate illumination and ambience lighting.

6. Traditionally designed windows, grills and skylights.

Correct them and you're good to go.

DO: Hang Curtains High and Wide.

DON'T: Hang Them Right Above the Window.

DO: Layer Window Treatments.

DON'T: Go Overboard.

DO: Take Curtains to the Floor.

DON'T: Stop at the Windowsill.

DO: Opt for Wide-Slat Blinds or Shutters.
