First of all, please move the furniture onto the rug, at least the front legs if not more. The coffee table should obviously be closer to the couch to be useful. If you're going to keep the wood coffee table then I would choose glass and metal end tables, or vice versa. You never want them to all be the same.

Thank you Ingrid. The one couch has the front legs on the carpet, the other couch is against a wall of windows, if it was moved forward there would be an awkward space behind there.

New Caesarstone Frosty Carrina & London Gray light marble looks

Dianne, I have quartz (not Caesarstone, they were out of my choice at the time) in my bathroom; looks new 2 years later. Online, you will find many cons or negatives about most any product you are considering buying. I wouldn't let that hinder you, as that's usually the minority. Caesarstone has a warranty. I will be buying either London Grey or Organic White in the next two weeks for my kitchen reno, but I love real marble. This is a happy compromise. Check with the company you are buying and ask if they've had any issues with Caesarstone. I asked the appliance company about Thermador vs. Viking and they gave me their opinion based on what they service the least. Good luck!

Does you have black coffee table/end table/sofa tables? Pics ?!
Q
Comments (10)
Why yes, I does :). I have a black coffee table with a lot of brown in the room. Leather couch/chairs and wooden tables and miscellaneous pieces like the tv shelf. My table is from Thomasville. Here's the advertisement version: I've got a couple of pictures that show it in my room, though not all that well. Here they are: Another angle: I think it all works fine. I will add that the wood accent pieces in the LR tend to the tobacco/darker range. I don't have light wood or leather in there. Hope this helps, Ann

What you've done thus far looks lovely, the dining room is yummy. Most of the living room is done well but I have a little issue with the balance of the room. In the photo ,looking straight on to the sofa, I see that it's not centered on the wall and the chevron pattern chair seems crowded. Is it possible to center the couch and move your heirloom between the two windows to another spot. Take the chevron chair and put it at an angle up near the window more to the right of the window. Then take your heirloom piece and place it to the left of the sofa. Just a suggestion.

Coffee table color with dark brown sofa and dark brown floors
Q

I’m following this post because I have the same issue with my living room — dark brown couch and very dark floors — brown overkill! Can I ask for more specific advice, if possible? Should my rug be mostly ivory, with tan accents? Or will the tan color bring in more “brown?” Should I paint the brown wooden top on my fireplace white to eliminate some of the brown in the room? BELOW: View from my entry foyer looking at living room. What can I place behind couch? The couch reclines, so it can’t be a sofa table. BELOW: 1. What color sideboard can I place under TV? 2. See room with yellow arrow. I have 3 swivel barrel chairs for that room (ivory color); must the rug in that room match the living room rug?

The current dark end table gets lost against the dark floor, so I vote no on dark wood. I think with the white/off white sofa and rug that white tables would be too much (and a white coffee table would get lost against the rug). I think metal, or metal-and-glass, or light wood, could all work well.

If you can't move the sofa toward the rug, can you move the rug toward the sofa?

I’d go for something grey, or maybe something like this to add texture to the room. I like the light table you have at your wall. Something in between to match the coffee table and the wall table.
