Cream. Try several shades darker and lighter. Take a drawer to a good paint store for a color match , then try darker or lighter shades of that . Probably lighter

Marble are both non-porous thus it would cause etching and corrosion. Besides that, marble are high maintenance materials. Marble requires proper care and maintenance. Acid should never be used on marble as it shall loose its shine. Marble should be regularly polished over a period of time to give it a new look. If proper precautions are not taken the marble becomes yellowish in colour. Italian marble is usually very soft and prone to cracks. Proper resins have to be used to make the surface strong and solid and avoid further cracks. Proper sealants should be used in marble flooring as the marble is highly porous and prone to staining. It absorbs stains very quickly especially kitchen stains hence are not appropriate for kitchen counter tops. In the long run, wooden looking tiles (made of porcelain or ceramic) would be more practical. You can also consider marble looking quartz. You may check out the D & L series of iQuartz range.

I would get rid of that pendant. Here's one link to industrial pendant lights http://www.houzz.com/industrial-pendants Pick a light that you like and show it to your landlord. I bet she/he will say yes to your suggestion since pendant lights can easily be changed. In fact, if there's already a really secure junction box there already i bet they may even go with a ceiling fan light combo if that's what you really want

Try various shades of cream or even some shade of taupe. I concur with the above comments about the chair. If that is removed from the corner and a rug and/or coffee table is added, it will help open the space a little more and create more fluidity within the room.

Hi---

I'd start by changing the wall color. Check Benjamin Moore's Thunder.

A rug, solid with texture, and a glass coffee table would be nice additions.

Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

There appears to be a beige tone in the adjoining room. Why not bring that into this space? Keeping consistency would help create a more cohesive look.

Cream! Then accessorize with whatever color you like or just texture neutrals. Nice space!

Is this new house? They brick and grout/dark cement is quite stark. A large piece of artwork that drew attention from the brick might help room as well. The clock could be utilized elsewhere unless you love it. Just something to consider.

Beige/Grey tones would be a nice update; great idea to bring a sample/drawer of kitchen stain, grab fabric/armcover from your sofa and chair as well and bring to the paint store. Nice, welcoming room!

I would pick up on the tan that is in some of the bricks. I like neutrals to be bold...here is a nice tan..a shade a little lighter would work well too!

Please void grays. They are so depressing! And your kitchen cabinets are not anything close to a cool color. Tan, beige, off white anything but grays.

I haven't had a chance to read comments, so not sure where things stand with paint/color choices. I just wanted to say that I really love your brick fireplace, and the blue goes well with the brick. The nice thing about a color like the pastel blue that you have now - is that it really offers the visual effect of more space. The light/sage sort of greens do this, as well. With the blue that you currently have, you could bring in accessories - like maybe charcoal grey pillows, for example - to bring in a different feel with the light blue. You can really change a lot of the dynamic of the space with various accessories, etc. You can Google living rooms with light blue/pastel blue walls, etc. to see various decorating ideas. Just another option. Best wishes.

I don't think the blue is your problem. The brick needs to go as well as the red stripe on your barstools. Why not paint the fireplace white, keep the blue and go from there. Pick a rug for your couch, the blue looks good in there
