So, this is my first post here - I'm not sure where else to post but I'd like some advice.
I have the following pieces and I'm looking for suggestions to tie them together *or* some opinions that suggest that I try to split them out.
Angela Adams Islands Rug: 
Cubitec Shelves (Red/White): One row of 
cascading with the remainder being translucent white.
BDI TV Stand: 
Val Proudkii Photograph: 
Kartell Black Componibili 3-unit: 
Santa & Cole AJ Royal Lamp: 
Everything else will be disposed of (couch, sidetables. The items, of course, that pose the biggest issue are the shelves and the rug. We're looking in a comfortable modern direction for designing (hence DWR/Kartell) but we're think this room has too many primary colors to work together.

Without seeing the rooms
and the pieces in them, I can't get a sense of how to tie them together. Others may be able to.
If you haven't already, I suggest scouring Apartment Therapy's images of home interiors.(Link below). Also, for years I've read mid-century design books and magazines such as Better Homes & Garden, which has helped me cultivate an intuitive sense of 'modern' aesthetic.
As for primary colors, I find the trick is to seek balance by adding neutralizing colors such as black or gray. These balance the color scheme. You might, for example, paint your walls a nice gray if your sofa is red.

colour and how to deal with it
I'd suggest you pop over to somewhere like http://www.cookiemag.com/homefront/decor/subindex_housetours
as most of these interiors will have lots of colour as they're "family" homes 😉
yet most of them are very beautiful, I'm sure you'd find lots of inspiration there.
A large part of how your room will or won't work though is based on light, angles and proportion, would love to see the blank canvas and what you come up with though.
