I'm not sure that a gray futon will go with your beige walls with brown banding and taupe ceiling. Navy blue might be a good choice. I agree that a large, beautiful rug should be one of your first purchases, then pillows and panel drapes that will blend well with those purchases, or just choose cream curtain panels that will go with anything. Wall art should be next, and by that time your room will already be half furnished.

Update over 1.5 years later!!! The only change so far is the 2 new canvases from Pier One. We still have not used the room at all since not finished. The goal is to get it done by the end of this year or at least have a plan by then. At minimum, need new chandelier, chairs reupholstered, custom curtains/drapes, and a server/buffet to replace that table with the photos (photos only temporarily there). Unsure what kind to get....as you can see the wood of the table and hutch is dark with little black spots. Will only order from a place where we can see the piece .... such as Ethan Allen, Arhaus, etc or may do something custom from one of the numerous furniture stores in Ohio Amish country...just unsure what to get and whether to try to match the existing pieces or not. We may also end up painting the walls and really would love to ditch those ugly chairs but want to keep the peace with my mother lol! Suggestions? Thanks!

What a beautiful living room you have made. The credenza under your TV is particularly gorgeous. Here is what I would consider doing if this were my room- just to give you ideas to play off of for a start. I would begin by finding some blue, patterned throw pillows for the sofa and the arm chair. I like Indian block prints. They are classic and fresh. What I have shown is not exactly bargain, Target/Home Goods, but aside from the Ginori, it's not terribly expensive either. Here are some from John Robshaw: And for the blue arm chair, I thought something like this could be fun: Next I would find an orchid or cyclamen for the table by the blue arm chair. I am partial to cyclamens, so here: I would look for a silver cachepot. Here is a simple one from The Enchanted Home. I like how the silver echoes your side table by the sofa. I would like a much simpler/more modern silver cachepot, this is all I could find right now. Then for the coffee table, I would find a few pretty and interesting coffee table books: Assouline, Phaedon, Taschen, Rizzoli all have great, colorful, conversation sparking titles available. It is very common to put stuff on top of books on coffee tables. That is not my thing. I would rather just see something pretty next to the stack of books. Maybe a bowl or a vase in this Ginori pattern (Orientale in azalea): Lastly the table between the sofa and arm chair could use a lamp perhaps. I would look for something sculptural in crystal. Like this from Horchow: Your room is lovely and will come together more and more over time. Don't rush yourself. Wait to find things that really speak to you, so that you infuse the room with your personality.

I think the room could really accommodate a much larger TV (70") on the wall with a large, minimal console below. https://www.mgbwhome.com/vienna-large-rectangle-cocktail-table/11531%2F11523-CTB.html?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyYKUBhDJARIsAMj9lkGg8k87RIYgxTIhKSStYer3BzUbEyoOBL_uWQ-Cl_gBoCFERSrRkOYaAlYSEALw_wcB I think a large bronze frame glass top coffee table will allow you to see the loverly rug through the glass. Select a small round drum table between the barrel chairs. Select a faux tree for the corner to take advantage of the tall ceilings and direct the eye up.
