It's looking better already! I like the big speakers. Go big or go home I say, sound wise that is. I find once you kind of get started with a good layout it is easier to see what you need to bring it together. Then just wait for things you love to fill in the missing pieces.

Oh yeah, I would hang the tv over the fireplace and orient the furniture to open up to the fireplace. I agree to add some wood (haha). Lose about 30% of your glass. You have all black on the floor and all white above the floor. Mix it up. Bring some darker up above the couch line and some lighter tones down towards the floor. Add a simple element that is both black and creme. THis will create a more balance feeling in the room. Replace the item where the TV currently is with something like this http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/fuo/1608848223.html (needs work but you get the idea) Bring the teak!

I think you need to temper the black and chrome with some natural/earthier elements. Ditch the rug and sub for something like this maybe http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80104862
It is graphic but handwoven. It will soften the room. Think about adding natural textures to soften.

I was going to say black and then I see the first post recommends black also. Black! I think I would be very elegant. It will make the chrome much more glam.

The ikea chair gave it away for me. One note. At a distance it all looks cool but sometimes the details make a diff in person, although, you could practically buy a BMW with the difference in price.

Well, I agree the "raisin" is kind of yuck. I think you should pick three colors and stick with that until you can work it out . Personally, I sort of like the brown blue and white/cream. Slightly Moroccan with yellow highlights of color. I like the blue and standing out with more neutral tones.

I think I would ditch the barstools. The space as a whole does not look diner and the tiles could lend themselves to some other style especially temporarily. The barstools are kind of off a bit to me. White or cream paint and the same color on the stools would be nice and airy.

I like the periwinkle idea. Or a blue that has grey undertones but I think you need a bit more color.
