Love the rug. Are you still missing something? Yes! Keep going with what has been suggested on this thread and the one you posted in June. First, move the existing art to the other wall, hang it lower, pick one of Grover’s color schemes and add new art and pillows. These changes will make a huge difference. Then get new drapes hung higher, wider on the wall, two panels on each side, in blue or white from rug. Consider an end table and lamp in the corner. If you are keeping the ladder shelves, consider displaying fewer, larger items, maybe a green plant or two. This can be a really great room!

How about a couple of end tables and lamps.?..Not liking the ladder shelf in the corner either....do you have another room for that?

Corner white shelf still doesn't look good there.

Get an end table and a lamp. Something with a purpose.

Put the shelf thing in a bedroom.

Don't know why the curtains are as full as they can be. No reason you couldn't widen the rod and hang an extra panel on each end as I've done below. The curtain color looks fine from here.

For the art, I suggest you choose anything you love that has something you can use as an accent color--I chose mustard yellow because I like it with blue--and then repeat that color in two or three places around the room: a pillow, throw, pot on the coffee table. It will add the spark this room needs.

Off-white curtains:

does anyone like the off white curtains groveraxle shared rather than my beige???

Actually, I do. If you do decide to replace the curtains, I'd aim for the background color of the rug.

Pretty xmas tree. Add some friends and Christmas cheer. Done. :)

Yup, you made your point about the ladder shelf. Got it. It's your room. Keep it. You got a gazillion answers, Photoshopped suggestions, advice, etc. in this Dilemma and your multiple other Dilemma questions, yet you keep asking and asking about new problems without addressing the old ones, which are causing the room to feel incomplete or "off." As someone said upthread, follow the advice, and your room will come along.

I like the lighter curtains also. Your room is pretty, but kind of one note and match-y. adding an accent color will give it some oomph. Maybe find the other art, and pull color from that in a vase/pillows..

CUTE kitty! Love how she's in so many different pics, and your tree looks great! Do you use your baseboard heater? If yes, I think you should remove the curtains rather than adding to them for fire safety. Try a roman shade instead so you can still have some fabric and body. For your entry, I agree a longer console table for the size of the mirror...perhaps echo your pretty living room coffee table (metal legs a bonus b/c of entry baseboard heater.) If keeping current console, pull left further into hall to clear heater and not line up w/ wood/tile transition and wall corner. Even though it's small I could see that creating a bottleneck when all your party guests arrive. Happy Holidays!

hi everyone! it's been a while. I went ahead and got another larger picture and put it on the wall (lowered) and put the smaller one above the smaller couch. any other suggestions?

spring flowers on coffee table for now.

Your room is very restful...perhaps a little too restful. I still think a spot of color would help.

i like the mustard shades as well. Blue and mustard play well together

Please take a photo facing the loveseat. I think you hung the original art too high again.

please see picture over sofa attached. I'm thinking of getting an end table for between the couch and love seat but just need help choosing. I'm thinking of getting the glass one with black legs (see photot) but I'm not sure how good it will look with current coffee table and lamp as they are chrome. please share thoughts!

I'd probably go white on the end table to balance the white ladder shelves on the left. Still needs a bit of color to add some spark, though.

Not too much white if you get a fairly light table like the one I show. Don't get some big clunky thing.

CC remember to keep your kitchen in mind when choosing an end table. Maybe think of something similar in wood as your Dinette table/or side chair. don't think you should over do the white. Just my thoughts.

how about a wood table beside the loveseat where the plant ls located. where would you relocate the floor lamp if you put table where floor lamp is currently.? If you want more white put something white on a wooden table. your thoughts? are you sure you don't want a table that has at least a drawer in it, for coasters, candles etc. Maybe think double duty when purchasing furniture. You could put plant beside side chair.

after seeing the photo of striped side chair; When you do purchase the end tables, I would put the white floor lamp behind the striped chair.

However, for future, I would think of trying to purchase two matching end tables. You will most likely regret only buying one. think of either with drawers or door. You always need extra storage.

hi everyone, here are my choices for end tables. I realized I dont have a lot of black in my living room and may get an end table with black legs or just get some black accents to tone everything done. let me know what you think!
