Hey everyone,
When it comes to interior design, well actually pretty much everything, my tastes suck! I've no idea what goes with what! Hence I am having issues trying to furnish my new house! I'm working on the lounge/dinner at the moment, hence I'm having to try and find inspiration. I'm totally technically minded, comes from my job! I'm seriously struggling trying to find artistic inspiration of my own!
The lounge is going to have a basic home cinema system eventually so I'm trying to plan ahead for that as well. I've a 42' Plasma which I plan to keep and then install a roll down screen on the ceiling to pull down in front as needed. I plan to get a 5.1 AV amp and speakers initially and then get the projector and screen early next year.
Right now the big issue is trying to get the room furnished! I've painted the walls all natural calico with a red feature wall. Heres a rough plan:
The only furniture I have is that IKEA chair and the tv! The colours aren't quite right, but you get the idea about the layout! First thing I want to get is a sofa, but I'm struggling to figure out what will be the best colour and which will be most comfortable.
The two sofas that caught my eye are :

and
http://www.dfs.co.uk/sofas/fabric-sofas/apollo/
I think the red sofa might leave a 'red' over kill in the room and the cream/brown sofa I'm not sure if the brown will match the room well. I'm also not completely convinced about getting a reclining sofa! Any opinions or suggestions?
As you can tell I'm pretty sure I'm over thinking the whole thing, but am just trying to sort things out in my head!
