First gut reaction is to take all that stuff off the mantle and replace that mirror with a round mirror. It doesn't look like it's reflecting anything but it still looks way to big for that space.

Longer TV stand with storage below. Then a toy box...maybe behind the couch so children"s toys can be put away when done playing. And yes to taking down the mirror from the fireplace...too big. Art would look better. Sheer curtains would look homey and let in light. If you want the mirror in the room, after you get the longer TV stand, move the TV closer to the light switch and hang the mirror between the TV and window (over the TV stand),,,to see what that looks like. Will have to move the pink toy however. Don't worry about more art stuff for the walls, and I see nothing wrong with the paint. Cute little rug-crawler you have.

Great tips. I can see how something round above the fireplace would help. And yeah, the toy situation is .... we need more storage. I do wonder about having such bare walls above the tv and fireplace. With such high ceilings it just looks like a blank empty space.

I might be tempted to hang the mirror vertically and see how it looks.

Pretty room. I agree with the circles. I also think painting the walls and ceiling so that they're a bit darker and warmer might help, but I have no idea what color to use! Some tall rooms use molding to separate the high space from the intimate space. And/or a chandelier?

I agree with no mirror. Somehow between the windows it just isn't working.

Agree with others. Can you turn the mirror (you don't have to hang it, just lean it) and post a new picture. If that doesn't help, colorful art would be lovely.

For reorganization, how about a longer tv console with drawers or baskets for storage. You can never have too much storage :)

I see nothing wrong with your paint color. If you want color, you could add it w/ panels. Do you have them now in dark brown? It's hard to tell.

I don't have any panels. Do you have an example. Also, love the suggestions for tv stand with storage. Here's an issues I have - I HATE high TVs (especially over the fireplace). So my tv is pretty low (just higher than eye level). It's been hard to find a tv stand that is long, has a lot of storage, and doesn't break the bank.

I'd ignore the upper walls-they just are what they are & make the room not feel claustrophobic. You could try IKEA for tv console- something like Besta

What is your style? Do you have any color besides brown in the room? I can't see enough of your furniture to tell?

I don't like high TVs either. Mine is sits on a long console, but it has glass doors. I think with your little one, open shelving and baskets would be better.
