I would go with silver. More contemporary and cleaner with the black.

I have no idea where you could get that from. Maybe try Amazon.

Hi Jamie, there are plenty of great furniture makers and international suppliers in Auckland. You could try Studio Italia, David Shaw, Matisse, BoConcept, Backhouse interiors, and for soft furnishings Seneca is great. If you are wanting some guidance and suggestions on furniture combinations I am happy to to meet with you in-store, (as some sellers are 'to trade only'.) Its a good way to get the quality items you're looking for with a designers discount price. (slightly under retail). Call me if you would like to know more 027 596 0394. email: karen@kcandyandco.nz

Hello Rispah. Depending on how much seating you need, I'm assuming 2 x 3 seater sofas would be enough. I would consider the below layout. This option keeps the traffic from in and out of the exterior doors completely clear and creates a nice intimate setting for the living but still being open to the kitchen for social interaction. Alternatively you could have the sofas facing each other with one sofa backing to the kitchen which would be a more formal approach and encourage the view from outside those doors. If this option suited your lifestyle better, a slim styled sideboard is a great way to style the back view of your sofa.
