Ditching that mirror and replacing it with art will go a long way toward updating this room.

If you replaced the end table between sofa and recliner with something smaller, the chair wouldn't look so crammed. I would also replace the collage frame over the console with framed art. Use whatever art you choose to inform the colors of your pillows and throws.

I agree, perhaps you should start by removing that mirror. Art on that wall is needed. The candle sconces should also go, I think. They're too tiddly. I really like the lived-in coffee table. :-)

I'm wondering how much of a transformation you want. New furniture, new style, new colour scheme? It would help if you defined the parameters, as it were. Would you be up for a customer wall unit for the TV? (A pic of that wall would be useful, perhaps.) I must add that I'm off to bed so I'm just throwing questions out for now in the hope that you'll get more good responses. Good night.

Try this: take the chair out of the corner. Put the sofas at an "L" in that corner (pushing each sofa toward where the chair is a bit - the end of the one sofa nearest the entry should be more in line with the edge of your window to bring it into the room a bit, if that makes sense ). Then, put the chair at an angle in front of the fireplace. See if the console nearer the dining room can be used as a sofa table, between the sofa and your front window.

I like Sammie's rearrangement scheme. It would uncram the furniture and give the loveseat a better view of the TV.

Thank you all! While I agree that art where the mirror is would make it better, I am not planning on removing the mirror. I can and will put art up that is much more colorful. :)

I think that slipcovers is a good idea. I am not ready to purchase all new furniture. I am basically looking for ideas to set it up so it looks nicer using what I have. I think the idea of moving the console table and pushing the couches together is good and I think I will try that this weekend. I will post a pic of the layout.

Seriously, Ute N, that mirror is the biggest offender in this room. Removing that and then pushing the couches together and moving the recliner to the other side are really all you need to do. The rest would just be tweaking.

No scrolled items.

I like your curtains, but for more wow, I'd use them for pillows.... wait a minute - that pattern is small allows for more wow art?

With only 1 window that is -Might this 'take over' in a good way - as curtains?

1. I agree with removing the mirror and candle holders!

2. I also suggest removing the console table and simply moving everything over slightly to the right. The three cushion sofa is too close to the door, and it will definitely "decongest" the space.

3. I think the drapery hardware should be replaced with one continuous rod.

4. Add some decor to the coffee table to help make the space feel polished. You probably have some decor around the rest of your home that can be gathered for this :)

5. New throw pillows can liven up your furniture as well!
