You've a wonderful neutral base. Now you need some colour. Are you planning on a rug? If so pick it first as it's colours will dictate cushions. What about art? What's your fav colour?

Need help with recovering couch

Oh, okay, may need to clarify some more. If you get a new 2 seater in place of the 2 white chairs, fine, but no blue chair at all next to the 'new' 2 seater. Won't be right with a blue chair too. So what ones are you planning to recover?. If getting rid of part of it, not understanding. 2 different styles placed next to each other won't look right. I wouldn't like old blue fabrics next to new fabrics or next to 2 different styles of furniture. New 2 seater and old blue chair next to each other, not good :)

Teal or magenta if you want bright. Browns and more cream for a more subtle look. Change pillows and throws by the seasons.

Hi, love that you love bold colors and patterns. I think a rug that will help to highlight what you've started in your space without competing with it would be beautiful. Because most of your patterns are medium to large in size, I would probably recommend a rug that has some black in it and even with a pattern but with a different scale pattern (much larger or smaller/more subtle) than what is shown in your pillows, chair and lamp. Here are some examples.... Mostly of rooms with bolder (black and white) patterns and the rugs that were used with them. In pic 3, a rug with a larger scale pattern was used in combination with pillows, drapes with smaller or no pattern (and with black/white contrasts). Your space would be the reverse application I think....like in pic 4. I also love the idea of a bolder, more contrasting in color (like the colors of your pillows, etc.) of a cowhide rug. Perhaps even a hair on hide rug.

See how once you choose your art you can go from there in cushions and rug.

Olivia! Depends on what area rug you get. Pick colors from your rug.

Great to have a blank canvas...Do you have a favourite colour? Suggest you start with that and build a stunning palette through textures and various complementary tones.... only choose things you LOVE

Indeed - you have a wonderful blank, contemporary canvas there Olivia! We'd whole heartedly agree that you start with an artwork that you love and use that to guide the colour scheme / the other accent pieces such as rugs and cushions.

You might like to start here for some inspiration: https://www.signarture.com.au/pages/interior-design-and-decorating-ideas.

And you needn't go for colour impact if that's not you: these treescapes of ours were used to augment the client's tonally neutral palette.

The items in your ideabook are neutral, natural with a hint of metallic - so I would focus on looking for textured cushions rather than bold prints. You might also find it helpful to collect a heap of living room photos you like the look of, and then review them to find the common colours, textures etc.
