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 :)

And the seating areas are different, don't try to make it look like one area. I would put minimal ( if any) teal around the black sofa. Do your dining room. Then give you living room the same respect, it is it's own space

Lighting - pendants over the servery bench should be another feature that complements your chosen kitchen surfaces. So whilst I love the copper pendants in picture 1.. They could work depending on the rest of your decor and would be a highlight in a neutral white/timber kitchen = Good! If you choose copper you would complement it with a couple of copper bench top items. These are beautiful! (I collect copper because I love it, my kitchen pendants are silver, I renovated to sell in the next 3-5 years) You will see a picture starting to form in your mind and there is nothing wrong with making a statement with your lighting. I found that when I wasn't sure I would get a very strong sense of what was right and what was wrong for a space, then common sense or passion would determine the outcome! Here are another couple that might work, look her on Houzz under lighting, search pendants, then have fun looking!Timber tones with black or white to complement your cabinets... or Statement white pendants for a bit of quirky fun! Your personality can be reflected in your lighting and accessories creating that point of difference from the predictable white on timber look. Plus don't forget the power of greenery to punctuate the theme!

Does your lounge need an update? Take a look at the images down below and see how the use of pattern, colour, texture, and furniture placement can transform a room from an outdated and impractical space to a sophisticated, welcoming, and simply put gorgeous area that is perfect for entertaining. This project has beautifully pieced together a rug from Designer Rugs, David Shaw seating, Fabrics by James Dunlop, and a coffee table specially designed by yours truly, DesignworX. Often I see seating in a lounge area placed awkwardly. Sometimes the furniture is all against one wall so you sit in a row like in a movie theatre, sometimes all the seating is pushed to the perimeter of a room and the space between seating is too far away, or all facing into the TV corner when you have the potential of seeing the trees. The key to successful furniture placement is creating a comfortable connection, with the people you are communicating with, and with the focal point of the space. It's not easy to communicate when you are all in a row, so having seating at right angles or opposite means you can connect. If you have an outdoor area, then orientate the furniture to connect with that, if you have a large room... pull the furniture off the walls so you can speak without having to yell across a room. My pet hate is having the TV as the only focal point, a fire or outdoor area is far more inviting. Let's talk YELLOW... Did you know that the yellow wavelength is relatively long and essentially stimulating. The stimulus is emotional, therefore yellow is the strongest colour, psychologically. The right yellow will lift our spirits and our self-esteem and is often seen and used as a bright happy colour. Too much of it, or the wrong tone in relation to the other tones in a colour scheme, can cause self-esteem to plummet, giving rise to fear and anxiety. It can create too much energy in the muscles by activating the motor nerves a some shades of yellow can heighten your anxiety levels and heart rate within about 45 seconds! In the featured lounge, we used yellow in a rich bronze grounding shade to work in with other aged brass elements in the space. It feels warm and cozy and makes a design statement.
