Hello Lina! I can’t wait to see what you end up choosing for this space - it is lovely. I agree that neutral upholstery is the way to go, introduce colour with color with throws and cushions. A vintage French leather club chair or two would look wonderful in this space too. I love this look by Brooke Giannetti at Patina Farm. Cheers, Susannah

I have same issue with my living room - it has to have a pathway to sunroom and deck. I put sofa, two chairs, and coffee table on left. Then wide space and console on right. My console has tv but yours could be just a console table with lamp and art. If you put a rug under just sofa and chairs and left floor bear in front of console, it would visually re-enforce concept of seating area on left, pathway on right.

Congratulations! Are you ok with the white or were you looking to change the colors? Personally, I like the style! I would buy a couple of accent chairs to go opposite the sectional. You could use them to add a bright color if you'd like, or you could keep them relatively neutral like a brown or gray. A rug would help pull the space together and you can also use that as an opportunity to add color. A quick and easy change is to switch out the blinds. Something not very obtrusive like shades would look nice. Good luck!

Why so GA? I thought I hated fake fireplaces, but if I was going to have one, I would sure want it to serve the function of giving off heat . . . if I needed that. I live in the frozen north country. Otherwise, it is just something to dust to me. I also realized that if you live in a dark grey area of the country (I do), there is nothing wrong with getting artistic pieces that evoke the light and warmth of a fire. So much the better if you can chose sometimes to just have the light. My dad has one of those colored sparkly heaters in his basement, and at first I thought, "How gauche!" but when I changed my perspective and thought of it as a piece of art that not only pleases the eye but serves a function, I changed my mind. I don't much care for the look of a TV over the fireplace, and since I use my fireplace daily, I don't like thinking about how the heat would affect my electronics, but having a TV over the fireplace is pretty much ubiquitous nowdays, particularly in warmer climates. My comment was only to consider that I had a fake fireplace which had a SINGULAR purpose of being a decorative feature, and it took up way too much wall space to be practical for me, it was nothing more than something that was a pain to dust, and made me want the warmth of a real fireplace. It was too high to mount a TV over so mine was on a shelving unit to the side, but my TV was smaller than the huge ones popular today. When I bought the house it was a huge charm feature for me, but that faded very fast. Fast forward, my landlady once loaned me these big square space heaters to help with the heat in my un-insulated apartment. They had one function, to heat the room and were otherwise ugly black blobs. Here's a photo of my fake fireplace. A lovely white elephant. I did not think so when I bought the place. Of course YMMV, just giving you the perspective of someone who lived in a tiny house with a fake fireplace for 12 years.
