This is the Danish Modern teak dining set I've been telling you about. It includes a table, 6 chairs with what seems to be beige tweed ...

No offence against Danish design but... it's just not my thing. That being said, I am living in Denmark and having a very hard time finding good quality, more traditional solid wood pieces. In particular, I am in the market for a dining room set, including a china cabinet. I think a style that I am drawn to is considered old Swedish farmhouse type furniture. Can someone please direct me to some furniture sites that offer a little more than what is typically found in most furniture stores in this country? I'm trying to make a home here that I feel good in. Would I have better luck searching in Jutland versus Sjaelland?

We have had the same problem looking for a sofa and chairs, most on offer seem to be the type you would find in a office waiting room, not very soft. we were looking for something you can sink into rather than perch on!!!

Which would be best colour of wall paint to comliment green leather furniture in a room that doesn't get much light, has cream flooring, curtains and a cream marble fireplace? There is a rust/red Persian rug in front of the fireplace and the room adjoins dining and kitchen area. Kitchen has more light and cream cupboards and preparation island. Dining room has a glass door leading to garden, so also bright with Danish Pine hand carved furniture, honey coloured. I just feel that the room needs brightening and advice on adding the correct colour of cushions would also be much appreciated.Throws are out, as they tend to slip from leather. The other furniture in the room consists of the same shade of above mentioned Danish pine with bookcase,glass cabinet and matching tables either side of sofa. Lighting is soft with use of lamps dotted around, but not overhead lighting, as too hostile.
Hope this basic mental picture will help you to help me! Thanks in anticipation of a response.

First - please ignore doughguy. He obviously is not familiar with people who have alternate spellings for English than in his little world.

Next, a soft tan/cream color (colour!) would be brightening and perhaps a large mirror to double the amount of light that IS there. Use the shades in the Persian rug - reds, rusts, etc., as your pillow choices. This ought to tie things in together. You should also be able to buy tiny amounts of paint to "test" on your walls, so you can get some idea of what it would look like. Perhaps a deep red!

Another choice...You might want to check out wallpaper! Sometimes that can really enhance the living space.

Another option is to visit a website where you can enter the dimensions of your room and existing furniture, and play with color. I know there are some, but cannot think of any at the moment. (Sorry - Menopausal brain!)

Best of luck!
