First step, I would pick a color scheme. For example, if you did this grey/burgundy scheme below you could then find artwork, pillows, accessories with these colors. Your fireplace mantel and the wall above your sofa could use some wall art.

I like your current lamps and the side tables seem fine too. I would switch to a round coffee table beings there are many angular pieces in the room. I would also try to find a coffee table with materials other than wood, add some texture.

Lastly, a rug that is large enough to be under the legs of the sofa and loveseat would be ideal.

Center the rug with the fireplace. Take the bookcase out of the left corner of the room and put that in the space between the kitchen and FR, where the console table now sits. Move the sectional down toward the fireplace, (after centering the rug), add an end table to the outside of the chaise part of the sectional. Someone sitting there wonÃ¢ÂÂt want to move to get a drink off the coffee table. Be sure there is a lamp there as well, to light that corner of the room. Move the armoire to angle in the corner where the sectional was sitting originally. Use it for storage, perhaps add shelving or even a pull-out shelf for a computer center which can be closed up and put away. The piece is very nice, and gives good height to balance the fireplace and high ceilings. For now, try the console on the wall to the right of the fireplace, and place the new flatscreen on that. Later you may prefer a more substanial cabinet, which can hide other components and store DVDs, etc. If you do that, then try the console table behind the part of the sectional that has its back to the kitchen. Add a comfy upholstered chair in the corner, a bit closer to the fireplace, where the armoire was, along with another small side table and lamp.

I would suggest a slightly larger glass and metal rectangular coffee table to give this room more sophistication and lightness. There is some blue in the painting and I'd use that, rather than the orange for pillows on the furniture. You can also use blue and white since you have a white area rug. You have a gorgeous kitchen and dining area. Take all the pictures and clutter off the TV console and around the bottom of the fireplace. Have just a very few well-thought-out pieces on the mantel under the picture, nothing else. You do need a much larger console for the TV, but please don't use that area for family photographs. You could have a small table next to the chair by the window after you've cleaned up that area, and a have a few photos there in silver-colored frames, not wood. I see TV wires hanging down and that needs to be fixed. Unless you need the privacy and light control I'm not sure I would cover up these windows.

Nora and Home staging Redesign...thanks for your reply....what paint color you recommend if I repaint the red wall? As far as the furniture layout, it is very practical for me the way it is now even though it is not as per design rules. There are many reasons to have this set up: 1) I can easily move from the room to the kitchen or vice versa without any obstruction. 2)The room looks spacious without blocking the windows and the view outside. With the layout you suggested, when I enter the room from the kitchen I am not able to see the whole window length with curtains. 3)This way I can see all the windows and curtains except the window behind the TV. 4)The room is fully ventilated when I open the blinds on the doors and windows. I can use the sofas and enjoy the greenery outside by the deck.

Solid color for window treatments . overhead lighting is only one layer of lighting for a room you will need lamps maybe evn floor lamps and we need to know the size of the room the pieces of furniture you are having upholstered and their sizes. What is the tile in the picture of the fabric. I would for sure take the light out of the fan and mke sure all the lighting is LEDs ideally in 4000K to keep the colors you choose true in all times of day. I would choose a color from the rug, you will be getting, for the window coverings most likely drapes and make sure they are at leasy 2 1/2 x the width of the rod I have no idea how much natural light you get in the space but if quite a lot you will solard shades to protect your new floors and fabrics they will provide heat and UV protection and still allow you to keep the view during the day and also provide privacy during the day. Make sure you get a darker color for the shades in 10% they give the best protection and allow the best view. Do you have the spot for the TV already then please share that .

Agreed with these suggestions. Rug should go under the sofas and stop about 8" in front of the fireplace, and if possible extend all the way to the chair, if that's not too costly or creating a trip hazard for what might be an entry on the R foreground.

A mirror on either above the fireplace (round) or on the love seat wall (long rectangle) could work, instead of art on all 3 walls - hard to tell without the entire layout. make it nice and big! it would be a statement and add character.

I'd be tempted to either paint the fireplace wall a few shades darker. A few shades darker will make a distinction, and that wall looks dark anyway with two windows in it, so that's an easy way to make that space more distinct. Or wallpaper it, but cannot see how far it extends.

A gallery wall above the love seat would work, too and if laid out to be longer than tall, will make that end wall look longer.

Where do you sit to watch the TV? the chair in the foreground looks lost... Maybe its up against a console or countertop? Again, hard to see what to do without the floor plan.
