Is the furniture new, or are you planning to replace or reupholster any of it? Is one set sliver and the other bronze? I find the contrast of the finish and the black vs. the brown/peach to be jarring. The heavy scale of the seating requires larger rugs so the pieces sit further on them. I'm not sure the red is working with your pastel peach and mauve colors. Additional art and perhaps floral arrangements on the coffee tables would be helpful make the space more welcoming.

What geographic area are you in, roughly?

Is this honestly how you live it is very formal and not inviting but I do beleive it might be appropriate where you live so please add a bit info.

What would you like to accomplish?

I think it is India decor.

It would be helpful if you were to google 'traditional living rooms' and give us an idea of what style you like, and what sort of colors, and how you want this room to feel. The shape of your furniture is very Victorian with all those curly lines and curving backs. Do you want to keep this furniture and the rug? I'm afraid to Western eyes it looks very formal and frankly outdated. There is no individuality or personality showing, but perhaps this is a room for visitors and not for daily family life. It would be important for you to reveal more of your thoughts about what you would like to accomplish with your decor and what you like.

SO are you asking for recs for new chairs and art? I would imagine two French bergeres would look nice with your sofa. If you upholstered the chair in a black toile de jouy, perhaps. For the art, that is a matter of finding something special that speaks to yo and your family. I would think something on the modern, abstract side would be a nice counterbalance to the formality of the furniture.

You have a beautiful drawing room! I saw this and liked the crystal wall sconces that echo the chandelier and the very large art work behind the sofa with the mirror. Is something like this what you had in mind?

I changed the setting. It looks a little odd since the sofas aren’t in proper place as i only did this to experiment. I want to know if it looks better this way or like it was previously. For this setting id have to buy one very large carpet and replace the smaller centre coffee table with one that is similar to the larger one plus i would only need to buy one single sofa to replace the tall black one. Also only refer to the pictures above not the ones below.

I can only help with the lighting. Please place the ceiling lighting on dimmers and use that only when needed. Ceiling light in a sitting room is not the most flattering to peoples skin. Please focus your main lighting on large table lamps or wall sconces (one in each corner) at chest height.

For this area of the room I would remove the artwork above the sofa and replace with something much larger, perhaps some type of tapestry. I would remove the items from the tables on each side of the sofa and add two hanging pendant lights. Also, open the curtains and allow them to flow naturally. I would remove the runner from the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Very striking, ilikefriday!

This room reminds me of an ad that is often on the right side of the page when I am visiting houzz.com. The ad features a room that has two tufted sofas, one white and the other camel. It has a huge painting with lots of rust colors. The room is very dramatic and chic. I love that style. A similiar look would be awesome for this space.

Since you are planning to replace the two chairs, maybe something like this would work.

I think with the light colored walls and dark wood and dark flooring, the room is too contrasting to be relaxing. I think you're on the right track with lightening up the rugs. Or darkening the wall color. One way or the other. Also, you need some nice big art on the walls. What is your style when it comes to art? If it were me I'd do something with landscapes.

I feel your pain on color schemes! One approach is to use the art or rugs as ideas for accent colors.

lilac rug perhaps

When I saw "drawing room", I immediately pictured a room just like this. It is so interesting to me that we see the world so differently, even though we all live in houses/condos/whatever. I don't see this room as "dated", I just see it as "different".

To the OP, pick your overall color palette and then go look at rugs, lamps/artwork. Take a few photos/create an idea book, then come back here for brainstorming. (You may need to ignore any grouchy responses to your brainstorming/questions).
