I think the problem with the Contemporary design of the 1990′s is that it wasn’t cohesive. I actually got dizzy in a few of these rooms. It is an easy update though & here is how:
Keep either the gold, or the purple, you can’t have both. This will make a huge change as these two colors are so predictable in Contemporary design.
Update the fabric & take down the border.
Slate is still your friend. Maybe take the coffee table to another room though. Add in another material though, or put down a rug to soften it.
Simplify. If you want to keep the harlequin pattern on the armoire, great. Just make sure that is one of the only patterns in the room so it really stands out, & is the focal point.
I think that was the problem with this design, there was no focal point, everywhere you looked there was something else going on. So to update this, create a focal point.
