For me, on Grover's last pics, the colour balance of everything light except the fireplace makes the fireplace too dominant. It's like a room that has a fireplace and everything else is background. But Nala a, I think your heart is really set on having light accent chairs. In that case, I think you should do it. Put something striking on the coffee table to try to redress the balance. A dark grey stone statuette or sculpture, perhaps?

Rina- I think you are right about the balance. I think I keep going back to the light chairs because I originally was going to get a darker sofa with lighter chairs, but the sofa color came out differently than expected (custom order). At this point, I think as much as I love the look of the pictures I posted above where the furniture is so soft and light, i don't think that will look right with this type of fireplace. Also, since my marble coffee table is white, having light chairs might take away the attention from the table and make everything look too bland. I should probably just look for a smaller accent chair that is still a taupe or darker gray or even has a pattern but first find a neutral rug. I came across this accent chair which I thought was pretty although too pricey. what do you think about this style? http://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/shop-furniture-living-room-chairs-chaises/jacob-chair/132082.html?site=

I will then incorporate either a soft peach/orange color or soft blue (depending on the rug too) in the pillows as well as art work. It is hard for me to picture it all put together, but hopefully that will look nice!

I like that style.

I think the darker chairs with a large, light green plant in the corner really frames the room well

I think the Ethan Allen chair, besides being too pricey, doesn't quite fit the more casual vibe of the room. Here are three from Crate and Barrel that might suit.

Ankara:

I do think the room can take a bit of formality because of the marble-topped table, but oh, I think the Ankara chairs hit the jackpot. There's even a delightful humour in the family resemblance with fireplace.

I can't help but think the fireplace with it's two black boxes is ruining all of groveraxel's beautiful renderings...It's just so overbearing. I understand the tv may have to be there, but I wouldn't be mad at you if you redid the fireplace.

I was thinking of your original idea of changing the fireplace to something more neutral.

I believe the [Loft Armchair in Leather[(https://www.houzz.com/products/loft-armchair-leather-prvw-vr~42780510) will complement the room set up !!

Grover is usually right.

I think it needs to have a more casual vibe.

You seem to really want a traditional chair here:

Your original gray chairs were the right style; they were just too tall. I still like the Bryn:

I think that would work very well. Great find.

They have character and will work fine in your space.

Those chairs look great, such a good find.

Oh boy you sure got a lot of ideas !

Yes.

How about swivel chairs?

How about swivel chairs?

The chairs are great. I'd go with a mid -grey rug. Reason? Instinct. Feels right.

Now I want art you love above your sofa, and the field is wide open this room. Please.

I guess I'm a little late to this posting, but maybe at least you can still consider adding some art. Never have a mirror opposite windows.

Instead of the mirror, try something three dimensional on that wall to help add texture to the room.

nala....You have lots of light coming in and if you want greenery, then add some plants inside your home.

For the mirror, maybe you can put a sofa table behind the sofa and do something like this picture.

Nala, I read all the comments and didn't see that anyone recommended the mirror behind the sofa until you purchased it.

If the room is dark then work on a light selection for the area rug, which would do more to brighten the room than a mirror.

There will be glare from the light of the windows. Additionally, no one wants to sit in your new chairs and watch themselves in the mirror.

Here is a vertical mirror behind a sofa, but it doesn't reflect the light from the windows directly but at an angle.

This mirror below is directly across from the windows.

You could have placed mirrors on either side of the fireplace to reflect the light from the windows. See images below

Even these small mirrors would be more interesting than that one large one you purchased.

nala, all the rugs I Photoshopped in your room are from Crate & Barrel.

FWIW, I generally think mirrors are a cop out. Here's a beautiful Gauguin that would look great in this room.

Groveraxle, love that area rug for the space.

Another one that might work is this one. Seems to complement the chairs

Beverly, I think your geometric rug is too close to the pattern of the chairs.

Nala, yes to the end table between the chairs. Not sure the console table and plant on either side of the fireplace will balance very well since one will be horizontal, the other vertical.

You might do matching consoles on either side, or a console on one side and a bench on the other; however, I'd like to see the fireplace wall with minimal decor. The fireplace itself is the star. I will think on it.
