Well, House Beautiful this ain't, but I agree it's hard to visualize without a photo, so here is one. The light from the window interferes with the exposure but you get the idea. The picture over the sofa won't be staying (wrong size, wrong height, we aren't attached to it anyway). I will have fun finding something for that space later, no hurry. We may or may not get another rug someday, no hurry there either (one of our dogs was very sick on the old one near the end of her life). The coffee table was a Target bargain to serve as train table, art table, laundry-folding table, etc; it's probably not a long-term piece. The things that will stay for sure are the brown recliner (new, DH chose, we are still not really used to the dark color) and the '80's lamp behind it. You can't tell in the photo but the lamp is sort of a butterscotch color, a leftover from DH's bachelor days; and even though orange is one of my least favorite colors, I like it somehow. So ugly it's retro, that sort of thing. The wall "art" nearby (one print is not in photo) both echo the butterscotch-terracotta color and also have a sagey green which coordinates fine with all the fabric samples I posted. Aloe is the most unlike it, but being all the way across the room I think it'd be OK. Oh yes, wall paint and drapes will stay the same. It doesn't have to be one of the fabrics I posted, by the way -- those are just the pictures that were handy, and those are the shades of green I've narrowed down to. (At least for today.) That particular fabric is 44000 double rubs, from what I unearthed on the Internet, and some of the colorways are available locally for a good price (which doesn't mean I have to use it). Roarah, thanks for the photo -- I also have a sample of a fabric that looks similar to yours, so it's very helpful to see it on a finished piece. The legs of my sofa are part of the frame, as palimpsest says, so they can't be changed. So, seeing this photo -- darker green because of kids and black dog hair? Lighter green to make up for having such a dark chair? Green at all? Doesn't really matter as long as it's not burgundy plaid? (lol)

Ok, so repainting the room is an option: that's your out! Or should I say "easy" solution? Repaint in a color more in keeping with the gorgeous rug (which is beautiful and valuable on many levels-honeymoon purchase being one of them!). Then your window treatments (panels-maybe) will be a much easier decision. I'm not loving the panel options mentioned above, which I think are nice, but a tad too informal for the direction you have taken with your room. Plus, they are very trendy, which again is not in keeping with your traditional style. You have heirloom quality pieces there! The rug and furniture should stay. Paint is cheap (compared to the investment in good quality furniture and the rug)! That's the way to make a significant impact without breaking the bank. Take a good look at the colors in the rug. On my monitor I see blue as the primary color, but monitors vary. Go to the paint store and bring some sample cards home, narrow it down and then go back and buy some paint samples and splotch away. In any case, have fun with this project!

Ok, I've been thinking about this room all day. LOL I even went through a ton of fabrics to try to find something I could recommend. The problem is, I don't think the tones in the photo of the curtains is coming across very well so it's making it near impossible. If you can take a really good clear crisp photo of the fabric in a flat position (drape it over the chair) that may help. The other thing I really feel the need to throw out there is overall the room is just lacking color and I don't think canning the red is necessarily the answer. I know you said you've grown tired of it, but maybe that's because that's all there is. Why not just keep the red and bring in a 3rd color to the mix. Olive Green, Navy Blue? Rule of thumb is to have your colors in odd numbers so you really need a 3rd color anyway. You don't even necessarily have to reupholster the chair to accomplish this. You could just bring in some color with the use of pillow covers, a new rug and even paint. If the chair print isn't working with the drapes, add some separation by putting a throw in a contrasting color over the back of it. That said, if you still really want to change the fabric on the chair, post up a new photo, there are several of us who just love to shop fabrics, we just need a really good picture to do it with. :c)

IMO the blue doesn’t work with anything in the space I actually like the pattern but I would suggest since there is so much difference between daylight and evening your lighting is the problem Change it all to LEDs in 3500- 5000K range , most of my clients like 4000K then choose the fabric.It also would be nice to post a pic of the whole space.
