Gray and gold is a great combination, very chic, very "uptown". Or it can be just great combination-think of autumn leaves agains autumn gray skies. If it works in nature it usually works..or at least gives us big hope))

I usually look at many images-rooms, but not neccessarily-can be nature, cities, fashion, cinematography..in order to find inspiration of how colors work together and how and when and whether I can use it in my space.

Of course you can use gold, and mustard. Or purple, or fuschia. Or different greens. Or all of them too. You don't need to switch the curtains right away-gray is great backgound. You don't need to hurry wih a rug, or with paintings-wait until you find something you absolutely love.

I'd start small-a pillow or two? A throw? And see where it takes me. Do I want more colors? Do I want room becoming more dynamic? Do I want it to stay more subdued? How does it make me feel?

I'd start things slowly, it's a very gratifying process as well. Figuring things out.

You might find you want to take down shelves-or you want something else on them. You might want more plants, or different lighting. You might fall in love with an artwork that will capture you and give you ideas for introducing more colors. Or a rug, for that matter.

My favorite combo with gray is golden yellow, deep purple, and scarlet, I saw a picture of something that had all these together in a book illustration many years ago, and since then, I couldn't shake it off.

You might have a totally different reaction.

That what makes rooms interesting, after all. Us, and our quirks))

Find your inspiration, and build on it. And if you're hesitant-don't be afraid of messing it up a bit. It's like a game. You do need to think your moves through, and plan-but nothing catastrophic would happen if you make a mistake. it's decor. not poor design or worse, poor build. It's a nice room you want to tweak so it speaks to your current mood more.

You'll figure right amount of this and that as you go. Right amount for you.

I suppose you could replace a few items and have your look.

Fp idea. Add art on opposite wall. Gold pouf or bench.

Celery, love the first visual with the large picture but with the drapes in the second picture.

Mishu, a friend of mine has wood floors like you do and light gray sofa. She has a mustard yellow throw and pillows like Celery mocked up for you and a large picture similar colors. She brought in plum accents and it is so tasteful looking.

To make it the easiest for you, find the rug first and then go from there with changing the other things. Tell us the rug size you need, your budget and do you like the direction that Celery is offering? If not, do you have a vision of style you would like to pursue?

i love the rug and pillow accents and the painting too.. but not feelimg the yellow drapes.. i'd like more in white theme as the first picture.. The rug i'm looking for would be 8x10.. and budget be around $400 for rug and $400-$500 for painting

Celery can you share the rug info since Mishu loves it. We can see how it looks up close and if it fits around the budget. And then we can go from there.

Let us see the other open areas?
