I like both of the blue paint colors, they read "masculine" and really bring out the deep jewel tones in the rug. I'm partial to the first one but I'm not sure what they look like IRL, of course. Sorry, I don't see warm tones, or pillows, or baby pictures in this room. I think a stripe in navy blue, hunter green and/or burgundy might be nice for the drapes. I think the hunting prints would be a more interesting grouping if they included one or two matted prints, maybe an old sepia tone, to change things up. I'm racking my brain trying to remember where I saw it, but a pair of round footstool/coffee tables would be more useful and practical than one of either IMO. Ditch the drapes, and the wrought iron piece (love the art poster idea). I'm not sure about the chandelier, I think I would use ivory shades. Maybe a dart game, with the appropriate cork-lined case that would open to protect the walls. A cigar cutter and ashtray on the end table. Brandy snifters and cognac on the bar. I would want a (pocket?) door installed, so that I didn't have to be disturbed by the lions den goings on, that's just me. If the man reads, he'll want a better lamp and a sturdy bookshelf, if he's a music lover, he'll need space for a stereo too.

I would move the tv to the corner where the bookshelf is now, on the other wall, and put the couch on the wall where the TV is. It would be much nicer to look into your room and see seating, rather than the tv. The TV and cabinet can sit at an angle across that corner, be hidden by the full wall, and be visible from the couch and other seating. And no, things don't have to be centered on the walls at all. Move the bookcase to sit under the half-wall. Put a lamp on the left side of it, where the full height part of the wall is, to create some light in that corner at that end of the couch. Move the floor lamp to the door end of the couch. I think using the ottomans as a coffee table is a great suggestion. Those will also be more likely to be used as extra seating if they are out,rather than tucked against the wall and covered with things. A tray, as mentioned, gives you stability for drinks,etc. On the other wall where the couch was, you should have enough room for a pair of chairs as long as they aren't too bulky. A table between them with a lamp for lighting on that side of the room will be a help. If you have an IKEA nearby, a pair of these, with washable slipcovers, might be a good choice: ektorp chair You could always get a second set of slipcovers. As for art, I think the grouping of family photos would be very nice, and bring some color into the room. I would do all in the same simple frames, with warm white or cream matting. That grouping could go above the couch, which will be the least busy wall in the room. On the other side, where the tv and chairs are, I think you could get away with nothing, or think about a couple of wall shelves with some of your small items from the mantel, perhaps other smaller pieces that are special to you. I would hang them once the other furniture and lighting is in place. Above the fireplace, a round mirror would be perfect to break up all the square lines of the fireplace and doors. Down the line I would get rid of the panels on the doors and mount woven wood blinds there. Also in the future, I think you need to get a larger rug. For now, though, see what looks best once you have moved all the furniture into place. I am thinking that you will likely do best with it anchored under the front legs of the couch in the new location.

I am very picky about faux plant material. I have a couple wholesale places here that are my first stops. They carry botanically correct pieces. You can check your area for this type source. Many sell retail too. Occasionally, I use Hobby Lobby. Some are pretty good. Just have to be careful of what you pick. For low maintenance, do vases that are pottery. Glass shows dust too much. What is height and width of panel above mantel?

I think the room looks nice. And I really like the blue paint color you chose but it doesn't complement the FP. I would get an oval glass & brass coffee table. I would put the cabinet the TV is sitting on the wall where the pine cabinet is and get a TV stand that is at least 25% wider than the TV and a bit lower. It would fill the wall better. I would get it closer to the brown of the FP. I would prefer art over the FP because the mirror is reflecting anything worth seeking twice. If you move that tv cabinet, you could then hang the mirror over it and it would reflect the art over the FP. I think the chair would be better where the plant is now.
