Would you like to try a couple of different arrangements? One is to put the big chair back where it was, then place the two recliners together at the end of the room. Put the end tables on either side of the sofa like you had them. Then find a table to put between the two recliners. You can try them angled toward each other a bit or just have them lined up straight at a 90 with the sofa. Between the fireplace next to the recliner, I would probably have a big basket with magazines, or throws and pillows. A tall plant in the corner by the window would be great. Second, take the big chair out of the equation and place the recliners across from the sofa on either side of the fireplace. I would put them on a 45ish degree facing inward. Each should have a small table to use for drinks/lamp/whatever you'd like to put there. This will leave the end wall completely open, but I think it will be easier to imagine different pieces of furniture/art there. Definitely get your furniture placed in a way that makes you think "ahhhh, this is perfect". THEN we can worry about the art and accessories. I was surprised to see two recliners. Didn't you only have one before?

TY for your responses. Privacy is not much of a concern, its our driveway, its a long driveway and we are in the boonies. My husband wants something there but for both of us loss of light would be a bigger negative than any gain of privacy. We really like natural light flooding the house and have very few window treatments that are closed very often. Lukki, I also like that etsy shop and do browse there for inspiration. Those images, at least one, did come from there. My3dogs- I will take a look at eyelet. I also really like the idea of crocheted cafe curtain, it would add more privacy and still allow light I think. Something like this

I see no relationship between the blue walls and anything else in the room and if the drapes had blue and cream or beige stripes that might solve the problem. The room is very linear and a large green plant and a round or oval centerpiece would help to correct that.

The rug doesn't have to match but should have several of the colors of the valance in it. If you choose a floral rug, make certain that the flowers are not the same size as those in the valance. You can choose a more geometric pattern such as a tribal Oriental rug so that the look isn't too matchy-matchy or busy.
