Your paint color will need to go well with the wood flooring and trim. Is there some piece of the trim that you could take to a paint store and get advice on complementary colors? It's going to cost you a bit to paint that large space, so you want to get the color right the first time. I'm not so sure a blue-gray will work well with that trim, but I leave that to the color experts. It's a dramatic looking room, but it has challenges for furniture placement. The sectional that is there now looks like it fits in well. Any chance you might want to buy it from the sellers? If it were my house, I would be thinking of removing the wood stove down the road. (Unless you simply love or need a wood stove.) That pipe going to the ceiling isn't particularly attractive, especially with the kink in it. You could replace it with a direct vent gas fireplace that vented out the back.

ok, i think you can do banquette in the corner, 2 on the outside 1 on each end, 2 on the inner banquette for when you have company. I would put the tv on the back wall, have the couch face it and 2 chairs either one on each side or 2 on one side that swivel. remember to measure and tape out before you buy.

Hi again, this picture shows the red T!!

New house and no idea how to lay out my living room furniture or decorate these tall bland walls. Disclaimer: pictures are 3D generated. Assume all things in living room are movable (except TV/fireplace). 3D furniture pieces are more for a “style reference” Purpose of the post: Any suggestions as far as retailers with this style furniture, color schemes you’d incorporate, advice on literally everything, decor/furniture whatever! I want to know what YOU would do with this space if it were urs. My house is an open layout (pic attached) 12 foot ceilings in the kitchen/living/dining area, 9ft everywhere else. My current living room furniture is handed down from family. I’m getting rid of all of it. The pieces are large and bulky for the space. It really closes in the room and I think the space has potential to feel larger. The corner fireplace is seriously throwing me off my game. As far as furniture preferences go: I promised the husband a recliner. I personally would like my own chair as well. Here’s the kicker, we want them in front of the tv… I want to be able to seat as many people as possible, and I STRONGLY dislike a sectional. “Well kid ya shoulda thought about that when you designed the floor plan” yeahhhhh I didn’t think about that. Style/colors: Obvi I like black and white. I LOVE CONTRAST I also love shades of red I have grey and chrome incorporated all over the place. I honestly don’t know what my design style is, I think it dabbles towards glam contemporary but it’s not all the way over there. I have a cat and plan to have children in the near future so do with that info what you will. Backstory: me (25F) and my husband (26M) are both engineers and we designed this house from the ground up with no outside help. We’re super proud of it and it’s our personalities in a nutshell.
