Answer 1

WOW! At first I thought maybe you would do the red couches with zebra print accent pillows. Are you painting the room too or leaving it the color it is now and what about the floor color?

As someone who owns red furniture, I can't see throwing chairs such as those into a room with the red....it just doesn't work for me.

Answer 2

This color combination can definitely work.

The furniture pieces you have selected are correct for each other. The only thing I would change is to be sure that the red couches have the same color legs as the rest of the pieces. The ones shown were oak while the rest of the pieces are stained black or espresso.

Add plain red pillows to the zebra chairs and zebra along with plain black and white/cream pillows to the sofa.

The proper accessories are KEY to pulling this room together. Too much or wrong scaled can take away from the sophistication that this space could be.

As for the walls consider an cream or white.

Answer 3

Sounds AWESOME!!!

White walls.

Add a group of black frames for photos, wildlife, or

abstract art and/or a black framed mirror with black metal candle holders/sconces either side.

Add a nice zebra throw on the red couch, silk type pillows, a plush rug, and curtains in a nice black and white or red and

white stripe or other pattern.

Add a tropical plant.

Add some seagrass footstools or bamboo basket for

magazines.

Add a huge white dish for your coffee table with red candles

surrounded by black polished stones.
