Answer 1

repaint the walls to maybe a cream or pastel colour. why dont you make some cushions, there quite easy to make and then load your sofa with them!. Get some pictures and frame them, this will make the room have more personality.

Also have draping curtains, they will soften the area, so have a solid colour material then get a sheer material to drape over it, like organza.

Answer 2

Blue is a very cold colour so you need to put a warmer colour on the walls.  You need to define 'nice' does 'nice' to you mean cosy and comfy or does it mean stylish and contemporary.

If you have all the big stuff, you just have a furniture showroom. A sofa's a sofa; yes, they're all different, but in the end it's a place to sit.

Accessories will bring your room to life. It's about finding the things that resonate. Renzo Mongiardino said, "I am not a decorator. I am a creator of ambience." Accessories are critical to achieving success in that.

Choose some items that you bought while you were on a trip and you really love — it's there because it reminds you of something. It shows curiosity, it shows interest. It shows something about the person.
