Need help creating an industrial feel that's still cozy

Hello Houzz Community!
I'm trying to do up my living room with a somewhat industrial feel. But I still want it to be cozy. ("Cozy Industrial Chic!")
So far, the pieces you see are all I have. Here are my design dilemmas:
- I want to paint the wall facing the couch in a dark color. Initially I wanted to go with a dark, purplish grey but now I'm not sure it will go with the floor. Also, Singapore is extremely hot and humid - do you think a dark color there will make the place feel even hotter?
- What other furniture pieces should I add on the wall facing the sofa? I'm not strongly in favor of a TV console - I was thinking a couple of arm chairs and perhaps a bookcase.
-I bought the red, Chinese cabinet because I LOVE it. I'd like to incorporate it into this room but don't have to. If I keep it where it is, I could put a large plant on the right of it to separate from the seating area. If not, what else would I do with this space?
- The dining table is a bit larger than I expected but now that it's here, how do I work with it? It's pretty high. I was thinking of getting a bench made for one side and chairs for the other side.....the chair you see in the living room doesn't go with it because of the legs I think. And it's too short. Ideas for benches and chairs and their colors?
-I think I should change the legs on the sofa - what do you think will look good?
-Don't love the lighting over the dining table but it's the landlords.
Thanks! :)
