My opinions, many if not all stated by other posters: I think the easiest way to correct the disharmony you're describing is to paint the picture rail, the wall above it and all the trim white (gloss on the trim/picture rail). Re-purpose the rug or sell it, as it is too big and the color doesn't work well with the saturation of the sofa. Leave the tables white. The large art piece above the sofa seems awkwardly framed in this photo; either have it matted and re-framed in silver or white or black, or loose it. (There's too much of the blue color.) All the art needs to be hung lower and closer together.

In general, I suspect that a lot of efforts at boldness and creativity with wall paint colors comes from watching too much HGTV, where the "accent wall" is bandied about as a panacea. It's a very difficult thing to pull off unless you are very, very good with color.

(Again, these are my opinions only, and are not intended to sound definitive!)

How about using a glass/bottle cutter? The jar would no longer be a jar, but depending upon the height you'd cut it at, it could have many additional uses.

A touch of Louise Nevelson!

Does a Frankenstein's monster come with this table?
