Design Thoughts

I have a brown living room...very brown as you can see below.  My accent color is a lovely blue-green, but I am feeling really drawn towards pinks and reds and thinking of changing things up.  Maybe using an ikat fabric. I am always drawn to darker rooms, but maybe I'm ready for a change.

I see rooms like this one and think that I should go much lighter.  I love the neutals with the great accents.

Thoughts?
