I think blues would work but can you post a photo?

If you would like to post a photo that would definitely help! Playing around with shades of colours could work really well so stick with blues, creams and even add a little gold stitching and you can keep the space consistent and beautiful! But again, photos would help a little further!

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

I think a combination of patterned cushions and solid coloured cushions, drawing inspiration on the current colours you are utilising or a few shades lighter or darker, will help tie your space together :) Don't forget to add some lovely ambient lighting to help set the mood for a warm and homely space... and some lovely fresh flowers - gorgeous :)

A photo of the room would help, agree. Blue usually goes well with cream, yellow and pink but there are so many shades of each colours so it is important to choose the right shade

I would style with Blues and Coffee coloured tones for the cushions.
