I did, not sure where it went. Will try again

I will appreciate any advice!

I think your general arrangement with the two loveseats facing one another is a good one. It allows both the fireplace and piano to be enjoyed. I'd probably retire the large chair to the left of the fireplace and replace with something stylistically similar to the other one you have. Also, tighten up the conversation area with a couple of end tables and definitely a coffee table.

If the loveseats are good quality, reupholstering them might be a good option for you. Just know, that it will be pricey.

Is the french door the entry door? If so, you might consider a hall tree to replace the hooks and a console behind the sofa.

Thanks Manon!

Any advice about decor on the walls?

Any more advice please?

I would add a nice solid wood coffee table between the couches, a piece of art above the fireplace and an a piece of art on the wall above the small cabinet. Also, I agree with above poster and remove hooks, instead a hall tree is nice. Additionally I think your couches could use some nice colored pillows and texture. Overall I think it’s a beautiful space it just needs some sprucing and organizing.

New barstools would be good too, depending on the vibe you are going with I would do White ones but I’m not sure what style you are hoping for the space.

You have two nice features; the fireplace and the brick wall, plus a nice bit of light. Painting those dark blocks outside white will enhance the brightness and look cleaner overall. Then paint your walls that taupe/greige of the mortar on the brick wall. I think that color will work well with the fireplace too. Try two 3-seat sofas and two swivel chairs in a "U" in the middle of the room. The swivel chairs will close the bottom of the "U" and can turn to the fireplace or the piano. Be careful not to buy big puffy oversized seating. Your rug may work fine. Replace it last. I don't see any electrical outlets for lamps, but you need some. A chandelier on a dimmer will work for your ambient lighting, but you need task and accent lamps too. Shop for a piece of art 75% as wide as the piano to go 5" above it.

Thank you, love the idea of a solid wood coffee table and swivel chairs, and will get quotes for painting tomorrow, such a great idea and love the colour suggestion!

Continue to post pics here as you go along.

You say in your other post that you started painting the room. Show us what you have done so far.

Thank you njmomma, much appreciated.

I have chosen a colour for the walls and got a quote from painter, now waiting for him to start. I painted some test areas, to see if it will work with the wall and fireplace. Love the colour, hope it will work?

Also thought of putting this rack up here, but not sure if it fits (obviously eye height and without the chair!)...

In this area I am thinking to put a custom made bookshelf like this, can it work?:

I love the exposed brick wall -- how beautiful! And love your painted piano, too! Your house seems to have been eclectically renovated over time, as there is a mix of styles. As for furniture arrangement, I would try two sofas facing one another where you currently have the loveseats, but you may need smaller-than-average sofas (perhaps about 6' long?). I'd choose upholstery that is heathered -- like a mix of beige and gray, a tweed, or twill. Perhaps the Andes Sofa from West Elm? I'd also consider painting your mantel a warm white, so there is less contrast (currently, it just adds one more wood tone to the overall mix). It would look pretty to have a large house plant/tree to one side of your piano!

Love your brick wall. Im so jealous.
