Disapointing living area's colors :(

Dear there,

U can't believe how happy I'm to find such a helpful website! it's over than great, really!!

My problem is sooo disappointing. I'm a big fan of decorating ideas, those of making a regular place of ur living turn into heaven but I'm now disapointed of my big mistakes...

First I'd like to give u a brief about the room discription:

1) it's very small area, arranged in a L-Shape because the other quarter is being used for the kitchen

2) Kitchen is with the living area, the counter wall of it is colored by purple.

3) Also the wall with the entrance is painted with the same purple color

4) the rest of the walls are colored by cream color.

5) the floor is brown-temper floor.

6) there's a backyard attached to the living area, with a glassed door.

What I made was,
I bought a very simple dining table with a buffet (I don't like them actually!) and I chose the seat covers as stripes of light green that's more like lime, with small lines of purple.
I still didn't get covers for the table nor for the buffet.

I got a corner-sofa (L-shaped) with a setting bench.
The colors of them are (which is the big mistake I made) Paige, brown and chocolate.
The sofa's base is chocolate, the covers of the seats are paige with flowers drawing of brown color.

The bench's base is also chocolate, and the face of it is stripes of paige, brown, cremey. Which I feel like are very boring colors and do not add life to my living area.

I also feel like I'm stuck with colors, I need some outer color to add life to the place, can I add pink (my favourite) or red?? or it should be stuck with the golden and yellow :(

Please advice me back soon i'm sooo depressed and I'm in a need of an urgent help.


kind regards,
Lama
