Choose light furniture with simple lines

There's only one thing I would change in this room. With everything else so light , I find the darker wood of the table somewhat harsh. Something lighter would be more cohesive.

Choose furniture first and look for pieces that are light in colour and have legs. Lighter colours occupy less visual weight and legs provide an unobstructed view of the floor, allowing the space to appear more open. Coffee and end tables in metal and glass also allow the eye to move through the pieces consuming little visual space while dark wood furniture has the opposite effect. The cow hide ottoman above works because it is overall light and has great legs. It also serves to connect the tones of the wood pieces in the room. Click HERE to read more......
Many of these ideas will work in much larger rooms too. The most important thing to remember is to select furniture that is the right scale for the space you are decorating.
Oh yes. you are right, a lighter table would be better for the room! You do have a fantastic eye!
