I suggest you convert your entertainment center to a bar as well. Raise the tv up top and do something like the following with your surrounding cabinets.

That's a pretty large room. Make sure you measure really well before you buy a sectional. Your current furniture I think would look much better pushed closer together toward the center of the room. It will create a cozier seating area. I would then move the sofa table that's under the mirror up behind the couch. You may not even need anything under the mirror wall. If your husband enjoys watching tv from the kitchen and the recliner is in the way, and you can move the tv up, I would. I would not change the entertainment stand into a bar. While the photo above showing the converted one is creative you would then have a bar taking over your LR. The entertainment stand, while not trendy, is perfectly fine. I agree with this:

Focus your decorating below the window and door frames where the people live. Tighten up groupings of art and tchotkes. Remember 5-5--75 (hang 5" above furniture or center 5' above the floor, and keep the grouping or single piece of art within 75% of the furniture's width that it hangs above.

Maybe trying pushing your current furniture together closer and post the photos.

thank you, i will move furniture closer to the center and see how that helps. i don't think i would turn the entertainment into a bar, not because it doesn't look nice, but we don't drink alcohol, i'll work on the pictures on the wall.

ok, i have moved the sofas closer and the sofa table, i'm sending pictures to show the new look. What do you think? i will start on the pictures soon and moving the TV higher as well.

It looks so much better and your husband has a clear look at the t.v., problem solved. You must like it so much better as it looks so much better. I think the coffee table should be closer to a couch so you can use it for drinks etc. What would look great is a rug big enough to have the couch legs sit on it but it's not necessary, just a suggestion.

HUGE improvement! Very nice room. See - sometimes it's just a matter of moving things around a bit.

The first thing that struck me about the revised arrangement is that the coffee table does need to be closer to the seating as Yayagal said. That means the seating needs to be pulled even closer together.

thank you all, that really means alot!!! i'm working on the pictures and the tv will be moved higher but i need to get someone who can help me with that.

Pulling the seating closer was a start, but pretty much everything in this large room--furniture, pictures, and accessories--is too small and too far apart.

Have you chosen the motion recliner you want? How many people do you normally seat? This room could handle a sectional if you want one.

Every picture and wall plaque in the room needs to be rehung. A couple of rules: art goes at eye level, so don't hang stuff above the windows. Don't hang a wide picture on a narrow wall; the art needs room to breathe. Don't ever space your pictures out to try to fill the wall space; a gallery wall should be tight with about a frame's width between each piece.

I would not raise the TV. Ergonomically, it's best at eye level when you're watching it.

Wait. Where is the console that belongs under the TV? If you have one that belongs to this entertainment center, put it there, then remove one of the upper shelves so the TV will fit on it.

i replaced this tv with a old one that didn't have a console but stood with a base to the floor, but the problem is when my husband is watching tv from the breakfast area which is just to the right of the room he's always moving the the recliner to the side because it blocks his view. so i thought moving it higher would solve the problem.

i moved the sofa table from this wall but it looks bare to me, do you have any suggestions. i was thinking of removing the mirror and placing the picture that is on the narrow wall there, do you think that would look good?

sorry for forgot to send pictures

If I were replacing couches here, I'd replace the patterned ones and keep the leather. And I'd do something that isn't leather and isn't red. Maybe a sectional, maybe in cream or beige.

I'd put the console table back under the mirror for now--it helps to ground it--and worry about the pictures later. Then I'd work on end tables for all your sofas, depending on what you keep. Every seat needs a place to set a drink. Right now, no one has one.

ok, thank you.

I removed a lot of the little stuff like the tiny table and things on the wall by the window, added curtains and a rug to define the space. I grouped the things on the mantel and the cross and roundish thing over the entertainment center.

I added a console that looks like it belongs to the entertainment center and set the TV on it. If the recliner is still a problem for viewing from the breakfast area, flip it with the leather sofa so the recliner is on the other side.

yes, planning on buying new couches, sectional ones as a matter of fact. i hadn't thought of the color, thanks for the color suggestion. my husband has suggested power reclining sectional. i guess i should wait on end tables til i get my new couches.

i like the look of the new console, the only problem i see the bottom cabinets you added are enclosed. i need an open area for the cable box and surround speaker that is underneath the TV.

here's thought, tell me want you think, going with the new console look but removing the two glass cabinet doors so i can put the cable box, surround system box and dvd there since i need an open space for that and putting the large surround speaker thats on the floor in the bottom cabinet under the glass cabinets i'm removing and replacing that bottom door with a mesh door so surround sound won't be affected and at the same time out of the way.

i'll send picture later having problems with email.

here is the picture of the entertainment so you can see what i'm talking about. i measured the equipment and they would fix good in the cabinets. let me know what you think.

i went looking for couches, here a some that i liked, the ones with chase seat i would replace that with a left side recliner. my favorite is the first picture.

i'm also thinking of removing the red recliner, replacing that with two accent chairs.
