What about Lucie Jirku or Corinne Natel? Both would add a pop of abstract colour, and would really compliment your Scandinavian units!

Bright coloured cushions are the obvious choice.
Are the curtains definitely staying?

Hi. What kind of style are you after? Is it a scandi look? The room looks pretty light so it may be able to take most colours, which way does it face? Hope you don't mind me saying but I would move your sofas slightly, in the 1st pic the sofa looks as if it's in front of the door. I wouldn't add colour to the cabinets, they'll become the stand out feature in the room. As pannacota said look at cushions and art. I'd Google scandanivan vintage posters if you like that style and then get something framed. Add either large art or mirror over the fire.

Hi Bridget, how about some Mellow Duck pods and cushions to add some colour? Blueberry suede would look nice which can be used for any of our 7 pod shapes &/or cushions... Muscovy shaped pod featured here ...

Hi. Sorry is it a scandi style you're after? If so I tend to associate it with just pops of colour (rightly or wrongly!) so it would be difficult to say re the units until they're up. I would probably paint inside a couple of boxes but not all. If you are after a scandi style I would add a few more key accessories as currently most of the furnishings are quite classical so I'd try to change the overall feel. I can see you've got spots in the ceiling but a statement light would help. I would also think about some kind of large arc or angle poise lamp or large lamps for the tables. Maybe add a throw to the sofa? I would also think about changing some of the cushions, add a couple of strong geometric patterns and texture. Colours for accessories would be white, black, grey, a stronger blue and add pops of colour in either lemon/yellow or orange. Black and white art in black frames would look good with some pops of colour. A large piece of art for over the fire and maybe a collage on the door ŵall? Maybe look for vintage Scandinavian posters or just google scandi art as there's a lot around. A couple of the little woven footstools would also look good in the corner of the rug and accessories for the coffee table. Sorry that all adds up to a fortune and I'm not even sure that's the style you're after!

good luck with it. Do post a pic. It's a great room so will be good to see it completely finished

Different cushions, curtains, maybe a rug and a set of forest birch tree wall decals in colours that complements the sofa. www.wallboss.co.uk

Buy a load of cushions (remember you can take back the ones you don't like) and experiment! I have similar pale blues with a taupe floor in my living room and it's amazing how much difference a splash of red and turquoise in the cushions has made. BIG CANVAS ARTWORK on walls, but bright paintwork on your new built-in units sounds dangerous. Also might be nice to go for a huge plant. After all, Scandinavia always conjures up images of woods and greenery and I think your large room could definitely take it. If you don't fancy looking after a real one, you can get some amazing artificial plants that absolutely do look like the real thing. Good luck

Bridget, if you want colourful artwork, I'd suggest looking for palettes in warm yellows, white, a little blue and lavender.

But I also think a restrained, somewhat formal piece would work well - it would fit the gently refined atmosphere of the room. For example, this Valerie Sparks (from This is No Fantasy gallery) would look stunning. Bring colour into the room with ornaments and a throw or two.

Good luck finding your perfect solution!

Your lounge has a lovely, calm atmosphere with a clean but ethnic look. Of particular interest is the horse sculpture which has a Middle Eastern or Far Eastern influence. Consider using cushion covers with ethnic designs in shades of blue, bringing in some red, orange and yellow. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oriental-Cushion-Moroccan-Osborne-Little/dp/B00ITXT4WA and Add some large table lamps for atmosphere, but keep them simple like the large glass jars from Pacific Lifestyle http://www.pacific-lifestyle.co.uk/910,92,kiri_mercury_glass_table_lamp_base_only.html Lastly, choose artwork that works within the room, but artwork that you will enjoy viewing day after day.

You could add bright modern art prints or alternatively, genuine paintings bought cheaply from Art schools or local exhibitions . Interesting large based table lamps . Large unusually shaped and unusually finished, mirrors . Rich fabrics -its a blank canvass!

How about adding colour texture and warmth with some sheepskin?
