You have a nice room to work with! I like the existing wall color you already have.. I'd be tempted to leave it :) Instead of making the long wall the "Wow" wall, instead I would make the accent walls the two shorter ones at each end. The Fireplace wall and the wall behind your kitchen table. I like the window treatment you used behind the sofa.. in the rust color. I'd do something similar flanking both sides of the fireplace. Bring in the Celery color you like in the fabric. Look for a fabric with the Celery color in it from the Rug and the rust color in it to tie it in with your other curtains. I'd remove the pedestal things that are on either side of the fireplace. They will distract from your main focal point Your decorated fireplace Mantel . If you want to paint any of the walls the Celery color that is in the rug..I'd do both of the short walls. The fireplace wall and the wall behind the kitchen table. I'd leave both sides of the long walls alone. Love your sofa! Perhaps a Celery colored Throw tossed over the back? I see you have a green throw? possibly in the black chair.. maybe one that matches the exact color in the rug. Also when choosing the green paint, make sure it is dark, rich enough to hold it's own against your rich mocha walls. But not too dark LOL I love the color of the rectangle square in the carpet. The smaller rectangle shape. Not the green on the ottoman cubes, that is more of the sage, olivey green. I really like that rich Celery in the rug. I'd just try to match it exactly and paint the short walls with it and call it a day Maybe someone can do a mock up for you. I'd rather see the rich Celery than a red/rust on the walls. Just to keep it more airy, but yet rich looking! Good Luck!

I'm pretty sure the real reason (as opposed to it just being about my superior tastes, lol) that the mister defers questions on all decor and furnishing matters to me, is so he won't have to disappear for an undetermined length of time like the OP's husband. ;) The rug thing has always been a bit confusing to me when the house has what looks like lovely hardwood flooring - rugs cover that up! Unless it's a basement, in which case I totally get wanting to be able to use the space during the winter and not freezing in the process, therefore a rug if not carpet is needed. I can't tell if the curtains are sheers? Honestly I'm more of a 'put blinds up' for windows kind of gal, if the windows require covering for privacy (don't want to give the neighbors a show or anything, lol). Window coverings also help protect darker upholstery from fading due to sun exposure, and to a lesser extent the same goes for noticeable fade and discoloration of lighter colors. Everyone loves a room with lots of big windows providing natural light, all I can think of is what their utility bills during the summer must be like and that they probably don't have a sapphire blue velvet sofa they're anxious to keep from fading and vacuum religiously despite the utilization of a throw blanket strategy to win the war against dog fur.

Hi Lynnea, apologies for the delay. I created a 3D version of your room based on the plan you provided. Let the room look n feel open and spacious.You can have the main seating area in the fireplace room. I placed an open tall unit in the corner to make use of the space.The TV unit is placed on the wall opposite to the sofa so it can be viewed from any part of the room. If you can get rid of the built in, it would be better. If not you can use the space to place books and decor items. Add a chair, floor lamp and plant to create a reading space. If the TV is placed inside the built-in, watching TV from the far end of the room may not be very comfortable. This layout creates 2 separate areas that can easily be used as one. Hope this helps. We could work on more layouts too if you'd like any changes.

@homeinteriorswithease- update, I have purchased a new chair. I need a second opinion. It feels too small. The tending chairs are lower and I thought I would like it bc it swivels. But seeing it in the space I am worried it looks too small. What do you think? I wanted to get a smaller chair first to determine what width of nightstands I could get (24,26 or 30 wide).
