And I would add two large or 4 smaller pictures beside the one above the sofa. They should be a stronger contrast, either with very dark slashes of clouds perhaps, or very light ones of huge sea shells with some contrast in the pictures. Such as them in the foreground on sand and the ocean crashing towards them in foaming greens and whitish waves. I saw some like that in San Francisco a lot of years ago and wanted them sooo much, but we couldn't let go of that much money at that time. Next time we went they were gone. I'll always remember them.

Which of these 2 fabrics do you like better? OR Neither?
Thanks for your help.

Too be honest I think if you would use fabric with different blues and taupe or sage,blues and taupe it would be nice.
I would prefer stripes(but that is just me :-D ) and than continue with those colors through the room.You could use one strong color for accessories .
