Please Pick furniture piece for living room. Current piece too small.
Comments (4)Move your current sofa table against the back of your sofa to see how you like that. Also, you need a large art piece on that wall....See MoreNeed help with my living room! Too much brown! Lonely loveseat!
Comments (92)Denise, here is a link about lighting. That lamp, to me, is not appropriate for the space without having other lighting, not because of the size, but because the light doesn't point downward. It points upward/outward. It is the type of light you use for ambient lighting of the room. JMO. (Edit: I have to admit I am not a fan of torchiere-type lighting in any form at all, so this may impact my view of that particular floor lamp) Groveraxle, and others on Houzz, are much more knowledgeable in this area than I am....please read these houzz articles to start.

Take the time to speak to a lighting professional. It is one of the areas where I see many people forget, or don't know how, to address in their homes....See MoreMy chair looks too small for room.
Comments (6)Adding a lamp, table, ottoman would make the chair look purposeful and add to the overall visual weight of the area. Adding a piece of art there would also help. https://www.houzz.com/photos/contemporary-living-room-contemporary-living-room-philadelphia-phvw-vp~442601...See MoreI just purchase new informal dining room chairs.

Comments (11)so, here's what I'd do if you really want that table and those chairs. forget a gold wall color. Go w/Swiss Coffee. you could always bring in a gold chandelier. both of these are swiss coffee. this room gets a ton of light, so it looks lighter. yours would look more like this shade w/your lighting paint out the baseboard trim in a nice white. Simply White would be a perfect choice. right now the eyes are drawn down to the dark tile and dark trim. please, no gold. The table has enough gold in it. the tiles have enough tan. the chairs are dark, the baseboard is dark, and the window trim is dark. (I'd paint those white too but that's up to you) Here are some other off whites that lean on the yellow side. (forget Drift of Mist and Snowbound) You're going to have to prime the wall anyway, so why not grab a quart of the swiss coffee and paint it on one wall. I'd also remove the heavy chairs and buffet at the one end. remove the small picutres and find one large art piece to go on the one wall. I,d prob do a creamy type of rug under the table to further lighten the space...See Moremnmamax3
