remove that pic above the sofa and get something wider. it needs to look like this one, size-wise (the bigger one to the right, not the framed piece)

Or, this is similar set up to yours. do a small table w/side lamp and numerous pictures in this layout. Maybe you do a collage of those bird pictures you have. do you know the size of them?

since you want red, I'd do something like this to bring in some color. everything is so neutral. But I would not do cherry curtains. do heavy and dark. bring in the red in the art, rug and pillows. I'd do a simple white, or very light gray, sheer drape

do you like either of these rugs w/red in them?

find a floor lamp for the corner to replace that torchere. if you move the sofa down you could fit a little side table and also do a table lamp. anything instead of that current one.

If you want to go neutral, try a gray rug like this , this coffee table in this pic, (and the pillows)

and the glass side table to the left w/a small light

and this console for the tv

I had gray walls and gray leather sofa. We bought a large original painting for over the sofa and then bought a rug and accent pillows to pick up colors in the painting. I changed out the dark end tables for glass/metal ones. I like Beth’s ideas and really LOVE that round side table. Who makes that???

Hi Laura-

I am not sure why you are showing us the bird pictures. Is it because you want us to see the shades of red you like? Are those the pictures you want on the wall?

I too favor light curtains, especially as your room is painted that darker gray and the sofa is that same gray.

If you want red as an accent color, you can add a vertical red band to the edge of the curtain panel. See below. You can buy a light-colored curtain and have a red band sewn on by the person who does your tailoring.

As for art work above the sofa, the horizontal dimension should be 75% of the width of your sofa.

You could get one piece that is that width, or get two pieces whose combined width including the separation between them adds up to that.

If red is your accent, have some red in your art, and have some red in your throw pillows. But don't have them necessarily solid red.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

You can use a print or stripe or textural weave with red and gray (is gray the color of your sofa? or whatever the color of your sofas, that color plus red).

I would not have the coffee and side tables from the same set, that is too matchy-matchy.

If your end tables are round, then the coffee table can be square. If your coffee table is square, then your end tables should be round.

In any event, you do not need or have room for end tables on both end of that sectional.

The side near the door has no room or need for an end table, people at that end can use the coffee table. You can use a smaller end table at the end with the lounger, and please carefully measure that space (maybe move the sectional a bit closer to the door?) before you purchase an end table.

Another thing to think about (and what do you think Houzzers?) since that far corner is so tight, instead of having that floor lamp there, what about a wall mounted sconce? You would get two, one for either end of the sofa.

They come in many styles, and some even are adjustable to slide up and down.

You could get one that is a plug-in so that you don't have to pay an electrician.

You can also get a plug in hanging ceiling fixture. I love this contemporary fixture by Torre and Tagus which is pricey, but you probably can find a less expensive version that is plug in or can be converted to plug in.

I can't tell how dark a gray your walls really are. I would favor a lighter shade of gray for the walls.

If red is your accent color, then I would consider a red ottoman as shown in the photo above which is also shown with a sectional. You can have a lovely large wood tray to put on top for serving, and the ottoman can serve as extra seating, and you can even find an ottoman with storage inside.

As for rugs, it depends what your tastes are.

If you want to go contemporary, you can get a swirl design in red, black and white and gray.

Or a handmade Oriental in either a Persian or nomadic style.

Wow great ideas. I agree with the color of the walls. I feel it blends too much with the couch. But I rather not paint. I like the curtain idea. I showeshowed the birds because i would like to use them in my decor. I like the idea of not being matchy matchy with the furniture. I love the idea of a big ottoman with the tray. I just see it getting stained quickly with my husband liking to eat on it. I think I'll look for an area rug with red and gray and do a more neutral color curtain. Thank you. You have great ideas. Oh and that lamp isnt staying there I moved it to the other corner of the room. Thanks again.
