The cushions on the brown leather couch really bug me, they must be replaced!

I feel it's time for Mr Deer to go, I've had him for a few years now.

Keep the fluffy white pillow; it's good texture contrast with the leather.

I'd add some sort of modern wood floor lamp on the opposite wall near leather sofa to tie in the wood of the credenza/stand. The wall color would look nice a shade darker than the light sofa. To me the wall color is skewing the room off but I realize this will be tough as it flows into the next. And as said above, pillows to tie in the ottoman.

Maybe not this but something similar.

I would add a rug under the hide that's large enough for both sofas to be "anchored" to it.

I agree with jewel about a larger, rectangular rug under the cow hide -- Ikea has some reasonably priced, hard-wearing jute rugs (jute is much easier to look after than sisal), like this one,

I agree about editing down the number of pillows and re-homing the deer head : ) .

I have a gorgeous glass/wood coffee table that sat very proudly in my living room, however the addition of a toddler meant more space was needed and I packed it away, for now. I introduced the ottoman as a means of toy storage (hiding) and a coffee table of sorts.

I have two side tables either side of the linen couch and then the console that you can see in the image. I often feel this looks cluttered.

Perhaps I'll look at adding two table lamps to the side tables either side of the linen couch (any recommendations?), a print above the linen couch, another print above the console and another above the brown leather? Is that too many prints!? What are the rules with prints in the one room, do you stick to one theme/genre/tone? I seem to like photography prints and vintage pop art most but will go with whatever works. I'd love to know what type art people think I should consider, I've seen some lovely photography prints of treetops adorned with snow, cactuses, whisper white horses, lovely bridges, etc.

With regard to rug, does anyone think I should replace the cow hide with perhaps a very muted jewel tone circular or rectangular rug?

The deer head and cushions on the brown leather couch are going, going, gone!!

Loving the recommendations, keep them coming please!!

The coffee table sounds perfect, especially on top of a large rectangular rug, either jute or muted jewel-toned.; or you can get a coffee table with a lower shelf with room for baskets for storage. I have two older teens and one young 20something (it seems like they were toddlers and preschoolers just yesterday) -- my two cents is that life is much easier and more enjoyable as a family if you slot kids around family life rather than working family life around kids.

I think removing the cushions will get rid of some of the visual clutter. As far as tables and lamps looking cluttered, I think you just have to come to terms with the elements of a functional room. If the purpose of the living room is for living -- playing with toys and watching television and reading and chatting and having coffee -- then you need tabletops and light to see and storage.

I've never believed in rules for art or matching art to furnishings. I think you should buy art you love and that speaks to you or is somehow meaningful. If that's photography and vintage pop art, then that's your answer : ) .

We went without a coffee table the entire time our three were little. I had a friend once ask and I told her why be bothered, when all it is is a place for a baby to wack their heads. LOL. That was before these lovely huge upholstered one people use now. The one DH made for his mother came back to us upon her death. A time and season for everything!! Hidden storage for children's STUFF is A GOOD THING!! I would swap out the brown love seat for a smaller chair. Like said above the fact that it blocks a bit of the window sort of screams TOO BIG. The deer is a pretty big trend right now. I noticed Gaines's new line offers a few. It needs more around it, however. It is not substantial enough for that wall. A gallery featuring your baby might be fabulous in this informal space.
