Incorporating Color Into A Neutral Room

This picture was posted to be about coffee table arrangements. I do love the way they used this rather large coffee table to really bring this room to life. What say you?

I like it. I also like the brick wall and fire place.

@jubilant I like the room, even though I usually like more color.

From the angle of the one picture, it looks like 6 tables grouped together, from looking at the legs.

This is very similar to the colors I choose and use to spice up my neutral rooms, love it.

I will say that to have a coffee table that big, you would need a big room, but I really like this room! Love neutrals w/a bit of color.

I would choose a different sofa. I think the room need more color or a darker neutral. Too many light neutrals for me. maybe a brown or red sofa.

@jubilant, I love the way they kept the scale of the coffee table accessories bold, to go with the rugged feel and bold scale of the room. The pillows on the couch are throwing me off a bit, (if they're going to have navy, they need to bring in more of it, I think) but maybe it's the beige of the couch that needs changing. Otherwise, a warm, comfortable, pleasant space!

@lolakimono Thanks for pointing that out! I hadn't noticed that. More people could have it in that case.

The stone walls, fireplace, and oh, those doors, all spectacular, but I think of them as being rustic, traditional, not modern as I see here.

I think the color blue fades away in this room. I'd go with a brighter color, but IMO, I think this room needs more color in the upholstered furniture to create a contrast between the walls and decor. Everything in this room blends together.

As for the coffee table, I'd prefer one large interesting piece on top. There's no place to put a drink or snacks...the purpose of a coffee table.

There are so many neat things that could be done with this room. I'd start over.

I wouldn't decorate the space like this. It is a little blah IMHO plus way to much going on with the coffee table. Completely covered with a hodgepodge of "stuff". Did anyone notice the tall crystal or silver candle holders? Basket and bowl. Tall flowers, short flowers. Just way too many things and they don't coordinate. And most don't seem useful on the table. Seems they block the view if you want to sit and talk. And as someone else said, the table isn't usable for "coffee" or any other drinks.

I like the two levels of the table. We have a coffee table with a lower shelf and use it to keep magazines and a small basket of toys handy. A drawer for small things like reading glasses and remotes. The top for drinks and temp place for anything while we live! Ours isn't just for show 😁

I also like that this appears to be three tables so they can be rearranged as needed.

As to color, using it on the top of the table seems to be "forced" and I would either use different color in the upholstery and/or pillows. Of course fresh flowers are a nice touch but keep them simple and don't block the conversation. JMO 😉

Lovely stone work in an attractive room. As for the table, it looks like multiple pieces and though not unattractive and though it might fit the scale of the room, it's a bit overwhelmingly large for my tastes.

How I'd love to have that stone! Gorgeous. Beautiful room as well. I kind of like the coffee table(s), although I'm done with glass and the work they entail.

The coffee tab is a bit too cluttered, but I love the room anyway.

Stone work in the room is beautiful, however, there is too much going on with the coffee table. There is no focal point, and hardly room to put down a drink.

I like the room but do not care for the sofas. The table is too big and I would have something smaller between the sofas. I have found coffee tables become cluttered often and prefer not having one , however that is my taste.
