@always1stepbehind I've moved it back and forth several times. The problem with that layout is that part of the sofa is cut off because the love seat has to be a certain distance from the wall (because of the door).

Honestly, I think the sofa and loveseat together is too large for the room. I'd try just the sofa on the long wall, then two accent chairs with a table between them in the window. Make sure the table would accommodate a 30 inch or so lamp, then you'd have a nice reading spot in the window. Also that would allow for end tables on the sofa, also with lamps, and would give you much better light. And that would leave plenty of space for the door. A coffee table and rug would be good too.

This link is not an exact example of course, but it's a good inspiration for furniture placement, even if the colors and style are not to your taste. The table between the chairs would need to be larger to hold a lamp.

I agree with Em. The room/space just isn't big enough for both the sofa and the love seat. I would sell the love seat and would also put the sofa on the longer wall, and away from the door. And then a large comfortable chair where the sofa is now, perpendicular to the sofa (current location of love seat).

I actually think you have a very good start with some nice, attractive pieces. You just need to edit some things and add others.

Could you take a full-on photo of the tv and tv stand? I'm wondering if you could get a piece that could do double duty, with the tv and also as a sort of entry console, where it can hold some of the things you need on your way in or out the door. That would take care of your #8.

1. Couch pillows: look at Etsy. What colors do you like? I would also find a throw, for over the back of the sofa, to add some more texture, pattern, and color to the room.

2. Rug(s): Do you have any rug stores near you that will let you try out rugs and return them if they don't work in the space? Failing that, try a place like ecarpetgallery which offers free returns.

3. Wood coffee table: I would wait to see what you get for the tv/entryway piece so you know that the two pieces will co-ordinate.

4. Wall decorations: do you have any favorite pictures or posters? Or photographs or paintings you or friends or family have done?

5. Plants and pots: If you're near an Ikea, they have some inexpensive and hardy choices, and also pots to put them in.

6. Possibly new lamp shades?: I'm not a fan of that profile, but I understand that's what the lamps came with and they came as a set. If you have a TJ Maxx or Home Goods or even Bed Bath Beyond (get one of those 20 percent off coupons) near you, they often have decent inexpensive lamp shades.

7. Coat rack or pegs to put jackets/umbrella by the door: I would find a coat stand or hooks -- again, what's your style? Is it it more antiques, Pottery Barn, West Elm, mid century modern? -- and place it in the corner to the right of the window.

I hate to suggest actual pieces because you should get things that reflect you and your taste, and I don't know you or your taste : ) . What stores do you like? Do you have any inspiration pictures? Some inexpensive stores with things for the home include Zara Home, H&M, Ikea, West Elm, and any independent, antique, and vintage stores you may have near you.

Thank you so much, Becky and Em! This is all very helpful. I was feeling really lost by myself.

I agree that the space isn't big enough for both the sofa and the love seat, so I'll take your recommendations on placement and new pieces.

4. Wall decorations: Might frame and put in these leather pieces from Cambodia.

6. Some lamp shades I've been thinking of:

7. I took a quiz to determine my style is Traditional! "You have a refined style that speaks of simpler times. You love comfort above all and nothing too heart-racing. Your go-to movie genre is a black and white classic, which you watch on your rolled-arm sofa or tufted chair. Rich woods fill your home, as do sophisticated greens and blues. You’ve paid extra attention to sourcing fine rugs for most of the rooms in your home. Your ideal vacation is somewhere in England."

How about putting your table and lamp in the corner between the love seat and couch and put your floor lamp where the table/lamp is now. Some plants around and pillow to give your room some color...a light coffee table...meaning glass and wrought iron would be nice. If you want a rug....go with rug and pillows with the same colors.

Would you humor me and put the sofa where the love seat is so we can see how it fits. I have some ideas.

Stacy, the Cambodian pieces would be perfect, and best of all they're meaningful to you.

The shapes of all the lamp shades you're considering are great, but do bear in mind that the navy lampshades will block a lot of the light coming from the bulb.

For getting your tv stand to do double duty, the current one could work but it would be better if the drawers were on the left side, I think. But still, can you move the box on the left? And add a tray or basket or a dish or two, for mail, keys, sunglasses, etc. You can use the cupboard/door area below to stash dry cleaning, shopping bags, library books to return, or anything that is coming or going.

If you'd like a plant pot or two, without knowing what directions your windows face, I'd go for some happy-in-low light plants, like philodendron. A Kimberley fern is also nice (and they can get big) and unlike its cousin the Boston fern, doesn't get messy.

Since your style skews traditional, some other places to look for curtains, coffee table, etc. are Ballard Designs and Wisteria. I love the idea of using blues and greens, but then those are two of my favorite colors. They work well together and separately -- you can use different shades/hues of blues together, different shades/hues of green, and different shades/hues of each together. Definitely check out Zara Home; their sales are great but even without those, they have some nice things at a good price point -- a good place to look for things like throw blankets and throw pillows, and even side tables. If you don't know to subscribe to all of these places online for their newsletters, sales, and discount codes, plus 10-15 percent off your first purchase, do that : ) .

Here's a glass coffee table from Wisteria that might work for you. It's not wood, but with your wood floors and heavier looking sofa, it's a lighter note in the room along with the airy curtains. Here's a lighter looking wood one at Ballard.

You can use blue and white (or just white, or just green) Chinese garden stools as a small side table and even for extra seating. You can find these sometimes at TJ Maxx, Home Goods, etc. esp in the spring and summer at really good prices.

edited to add: I added some links here that I forgot, am in a bit of a hurry running out the door...

@erinsean moving the table + lamp to the corner is a great idea and one I'll try soon.

@yayagal here's a pic of the sofa and love seat switched. I think it works better than I remember but the love seat may still be too big.

@beckysharp Thank you so much! I'll definitely take your advice to heart.
