Great Room Area Rug and Coffee Table Dilemma
Comments (4)I'll get the ball rolling. I don't think you need to do much to change what you have, because you've done a beautiful job already. Here are a few suggestions just to add in some color. I worked off the little bit of color you already have in the rooms....See Morecoffee table dilemma

Comments (11)Beth H. : , we love the idea of the console table against the wall near window, and the stools underneath. And also like the styling you suggested. For the fireplace, we were thinking of a round mirror as the anchor. We though about a large (55"x40") abstract painting in the wall on the right side of the fireplace (which has similar dimensions than the one on the left). We hope this provides balance with the console that will go in the same wall, on the left side of the fireplace. Whould this work?...See MoreCoffee Table shape dilemma
Comments (10)Pulling sofas away from a wall actually makes the room feel spacious because you have some space and shadow behind. My matching and facing-each-other sofas are 93" long and I have a 37" square coffee table between them. They are 23" from the coffee table, and yes, that is actually a bit of a reach to put down a cup or glass, but I prefer it because it leaves more room for people to pass by each other when the sofas are full of people. Maybe this picture will be helpful to you. I have different wall art and other furniture at the ends now, but still the coffee table and 2 sofas. I do find my square coffee table is a bit too short, with the people sitting on the ends not as easily able to put down a beverage. The people sitting at the ottoman end of your sofas will have this problem, in your plan, consider getting a long long coffee table, and I wouldn't match it to the console table either. It's a little too "furniture showroom" and not in a good way. The ottoman or ottomans can go beside the fireplace. Or be sure the ottomans have trays so people can put things on them. Hope this helps!...See Moredaisiesandbutterflies
