Kate: YES you do have style, look at the ideas you have saved! There is a wonderful style there, a bit modern and perhaps a touch of mid-century. Clean lines and a touch of bold color. Use those ideas to inspire the design direction you want to take.

Design is not about what is "popular" or what others want you to put into a room, it is about what makes you feel good when you walk into your home. That is different for every person. Find that inspiration for your self and then the others here can help you make that vision come true.

It's a very nice bright space, which can be divided into two zones. If the living room space is for TV watching, then put a sofa under the windows facing the side wall and float two comfortable armchairs to face the fireplace with a little table in between. Or 2-3 club chairs arranged around a round coffee table since the space is small. Anchor everything with a rug. If you're not planning to watch TV in that space, then float a sofa to face the fireplace with two armchairs in the corners flanking the fireplace. The back of the sofa will create an "entryway" into your living space.

For the dining area, get a large round table with leaves (for when you have company) since the space is narrow. Get dining chairs that are fairly straight up, not too bulky or oversized. , again so you have space around them--at least 3' in back of each dining chair.

Here are some good design principles:

--If you want to have something beautiful to look at and set a mood in your living space, start with art. Many people pick any old art, if they choose it at all, to match rugs and furnishings. If you find lovely art, pull your color palette from the art. And you can mix patterns--art work and a rug, for example. In this painting, you could have then go on to choose a charcoal sofa and gray and gold chair.

How to pick the right-size sofa. (So many Design Dilemmas are written by people who bought oversized, overly padded black or brown leather sofas. Don't do that). Get good measurements by putting tape down on the floor. Things like overly upholstered arms and back can overwhelm an average sized room. If you're hankering for a leather sofa, a camel leather up on legs, but very comfy is a great choice.

Contrasts make a room lively and dynamic. If you have a dark wood dining table, then lighter, modern chairs with the same wood finish on the legs as the table will "go" with the table but offer contrast. A large leather sofa can be paired with chairs and a coffee table up on legs. (Too many people buy big, matching pieces that weigh down a room.) Anyway, figure out the size furniture you need, the best layout for the room, and look for pieces that work, not the other way around. Bring measurements to the store. Don't buy anything that doesn't in some way connect to your floor color, space, existing furnishings by color or finish. The eye should pick up color or style patterns as you enter a room. Good luck!
