thank you! suzyq53, to answer your question, we added a large closet in the corner on the wall with the bar so we could have storage to put away toys. We desperately needed that, though it does limit the option of having a TV on that wall as the wall space gets tighter on that side. I went through a bunch of media console options with my husband last night - from navy blue to asian-inspired to more traditional. What I'm realizing is that he has a stronger preference for more traditional looks for larger pieces and he is more comfortable with me adding pops of color and uniqueness in pillows, wall art, decor that can be more easily changed out. This is our first time decorating a space we designed for ourselves so I get it. Of all the pieces I showed him that I would like, he liked this one the best. It's 68" so it can accommodate a larger TV if we upgrade down the road. It has a little bit of uniqueness in that it brings in iron in the doors. And with the glass, I'm thinking that I can insert pops of color through decor. Do you think that will still look okay?

There are so many options you could play with. Try to match the overall styling of the room rather than just one furniture piece. You could consider something with a black metal accent to match your coffee table legs (image 1) This would lend a slightly industrial theme so you could follow that for the rest of your room too. You could also pick the same wood tone but without the distressed look that the coffee table has. I would refrain from doing too many different wood tones but it really depends on the specific piece. Post pictures of your other furniture so I could help you get a clearer idea.

Yes, I do think an ottoman large enough for both feet & large tray is out there! If you’d post the dimensions of space in that ’U’ in center of sectional, I know you’ll get suggestions. You might list a $$ amount max too. Also yes, black, cream & brown do make a good mix. It’s all about the tones of each color. Since ottoman would be closest to sofa, matching the brown is most important. Black / dark navy is secondary & cream is, well, cream since the mantle is far away, Art - that’s a very personal thing - it must make you happy to look at it - not anyone else - just you and your family. In a home, art shouldn’t be a big decor item. That said, it should be appropriate for the space & the colors of the room should enhance the art - o r vice versa. Think about a swivel chair or recliner when you replace the corner chair! Blue is a nice accent for your colors - you could add that in to an ottoman fabric but would need to coordinate with new chair.

Thank you. Im not trying to keep everything in the greys… the blinds came with the house, im planning on putting some nice curtains.. You can give me advice on what should i get also… i want a modern look with natural colors. On the link i posted, which one would you recommend?
