Bring in throws, pillows and artwork. The rug is a nice decorative element that you can use as an inspiration. Pull out colors from the rug to select your artwork - something modern to match the style of your furniture and the coffee table.

You've made some really stylish choices. You just need some finishing touches and some tweaking. I am not a PRO but you definitely need different lighting. Overhead lights cast harsh shadows and make a space feel commercial. You need some floor lamps and or table lamps.

A narrow console table on the wall next to the window would be a great spot for your sculpture, then you could put a lamp on the table near the sectional.

Unfortunately, your rug is too small for the space and that is contributing to the room feeling off. Do you have another spot for the rug? Can you get a larger version?

I would pull colors out of the rug for curtain panels and pillows. That will make the space look more cohesive and put together.

Look for a very large colorful artwork- try two newspapers taped together to see if that's about the right size. Add lamps and curtains. Roll up your rug and take it to the paint shop to match its colors on chip cards. Circle the best matches, tape them all together, return the rug to the floor, then go shop for curtains. About the only pillows that will go with the sofa are cylinders. You can have two custom made in intense blue, or find some black ones ready made.

Buy the sculpture a lighted pedestal instead of the end table. Put a lamp with considerable design presence on the end table.

Wow! Thank you guys for input,that was so helpful! Apple_pie, I love the idea of using a newspaper as a guide.

My biggest concern is the color selection for the artwork, not sure what direction to go. I can pull out a color from the rug for for the pillows etc.......

Is there a TV in the room? I am not sure I like the placement of the sectional. Can you take a picture from the door looking in?

The rug is not under the furniture right. It looks off a bit.

You can really do any piece of art. It should speak to you. Don't get it because it "goes" with the rug.

Before you invest in any artwork ...

Have you tried turning your sofa around so as to have the longer back against the wall and the shorter back as a room divider -- not have the back against the windows? Try this and then look at your room again and see if where you'd put art above your sofa changes before investing in any for the wall.

Pic #2,,,that wall needs a shallow console and some art. any of these would work. mix and match or tweak them to go w/what you like. even bringing in some warm wood would give the space some depth. As for artwork, get what you like. blues/whites/golds/ teals/ yellows/pinks,,,,are just a few that would work well. The artwork w/the console could also work for over the couch area

You could also do this parsons table in an acrylic or a white,,,

can you replace those blinds on the front window and do something like the cellulars or Pirouette shades? this color would be perfect

or do the white shade w/some blue panels

Thank you guys so much for you input! Beth your ideas are amazing, thanks a million!

I am not fond of the brown blind you have behind your sectional....could you use white or just get some sheers and drapes? Yes, lamp and end tables will make all the difference. Will you be putting a TV in the room....you might have mentioned it, but I missed it...?
