Hi Tisha, Here's some more ideas, don't know if you can use them, you've gotten so many good ones already. How about painting the headboard, one of the colors from the quilt? The dark brown would be as assertive as the black, and might overwhelm those quieter colors. You could take a sham to the paint store, to help find a good color. Would you like the headbord and curtains to match, or contrast? While you are there, you could also get a 4$ sample of a custom wall color, that seems quilt friendly, but shy. Besides the yellow, you might also try a VERY soft shade of that blue/green, to blend the quilt tones and denim. Yellows [and greens] are so tricky, and usually look much stronger than you expect, once they are up. Spread out that wall paint sample across an inner corner, to see if it's too strong. With that sham and the paint choices in the car, look at fabrics- go to a fabric store, and, where they have sheets on sale, like tj's, or a job lot store. When you find something that looks like a curtain possibility, compare it to the quilt sham, and paint shades. You will find it much easier, if you have them there for reference, especially if there is pattern. If you have something denim to wear, that is similar in tone to your coverlet, that'll help even more. That denim is going to be around, so you may as well take it into account. Strips of denim, with ribbon trim that match a color[s] from the quilt, might work for small items like tie backs or throw pillows. Try repeating soft colors in different widths, add stronger colours in narrower widths. Add areas of curtain fabric, to denim? Scout for a rug[s] too. In the nook, a cushion would be durable, in denim. Could huge throw pillows, make it into somewhere that you would like to curl up to read, with a foot stool/ or shelf? I like to take things to the visual boundary, when it's so close, to avoid distraction. So, with the wonderful sketches that coconut made, I would probably nudge the edges of the fabric and/or the valences, to the ceiling, wall [and nook ledge]. Those edges might just work better as shown though, kinda like a frame. It would depend on the shapes and colors. Those are pretty lamps, but the scale seems short for the room, and the shades are very curvy, too. Consider making the lamp bases ~4-6" taller,[add wood block bases?]. Then! try shades that are also taller than the ones you have by 3-5". A plain shape of shade, like a tall thin drum, would go well with the other strong plain shapes in the room. Ask the shade saleslady, [k'mt?] if you can bring them back if they don't work. You will have taller, thin, lamps with plain shades. Find colors in tones that work for you, and group those colors, in proportions that make you happy. That, and the taller lamps [ with the plain shades] will really transform the room. The find yer style gal, on HandG, has a good way to look at a room. It might be more fun, if you can bring a friend with you when you shop for colors and fabrics. Good luck, and give yourself credit for tackling such a big project.

Oh I did... thank you for the suggestions. Wanted to get some opinion if some other color chair will work as white in the family room is a bit dicey !! More ideas please

In my photo the space between wall & chair back is 43” - more than ample walk space. This chair is very large with a 38” depth front of arm to back. Total space used is 6.75’ You said your space is @ 7’ so it seems like you have enough room especially since you’ll likely be looking at smaller chairs than the one I‘m showing you. But, that‘s the reason to place a cardboard the size of chair foot print in the space. To get a better feel for space the object takes up & see how the traffic flows around it, Remember too that with chairs some of the space they take up is with the slant of the back so it’s air space as well as floor space. I can’t tell what your space is between long side of coffee table & couch. I’ve read it should be no more than 16” to allow both leg room when sitting on couch & ability to reach & set drink down. If your space is wider than that, suggest pulling in to try out. That would also give you more potential chair space.

Instead of wallpapering, I’d avoid the trouble and cost, just paint a great paint color and add colorful curtains to hide the clothes. Add a large piece of art on the far wall and unique lighting in ceiling. It will be a lively space and if landlord requires, slapping on white paint before you move is pretty easy. Also replace lighting to the original and take your light with you.
