Standard Furniture Melrose Square Glass Top End Table in Rich Dark Merlot · More Info

Need to know a lot more, but the styling looks fairly modern, so pair with interesting end tables and they don't have to match on each end of sofa. How high is the arms on the sofa? The end tables should be roughly the same height. Keep in mind what coffee table you might want? Lots of factors to consider.

You absolutely must show the entire room and all the furnishings to get good suggestions about color, size, style. This photo doesn't tell us anything. Design is about relating and connecting furnishings, art, rugs, windows, etc.

Your idea about the mantel is spot on ! I think your new rug is nice, but....(sorry), I feel like you dont need a rug in here or you need something lighter, smaller possibly even a free form like faux bear or even round. the space is so small the rug is closing you in. recliners will eat up a lot of space here........ you will have to forgo the coffee table I suspect. have you toyed with the idea of an ottoman instead, especially since if you are reclined you dont really face the tv so it might not be as awesome lol. You could do a reclining chair and sofa with an ottoman, might get more function out of that. Leather sofas really only have so many looks, so I would argee that gray is not really great I would lean toward beige if it was me. might I also toss out there the light bulb you have shining on the fireplace is a bit to daylight for my taste and also seems to be very bright! I think diming it down, narrowing the beam spread might high light the art better, its a bit washed out right now. https://www.costco.com/campania-leather-power-reclining-sofa-with-power-headrests.product.100390699.html https://www.macys.com/shop/product/kaleb-tufted-leather-sofa-collection-created-for-macys?ID=2672877

Is there an eat in kitchen or would the dining space be the all-the-time eating space? I like Judy's layout if there is another more casual eating area (breakfast/lunch). traipsing across living space (from kitchen) for every meal doesn't seem functional. That said, walking into your fireplace area as a LR isn't ideal either. I think it could have 2 chairs and be cozy but the TV and living space would have to be across the way. It's a beautiful looking home.

But I am looking for some black jute baskets to put my extra couch throws in. I know I want black accents so maybe those coffee tables would be good. I’m a Libra so I’m VERY indecisive 😭

I would do white like the shades & wood work. Hang the rod just below the crown molding and 5" wider than the window. Your tables are too high to be end tables but at least pull them off the wall. Looks like the lamp shade is on the wall. I would switch the black pillows on the chairs to some with the gold in them.

I wouldn’t try to match the console. What type of surface? Wood, glass , stone? I like mixing end tables rather than buying matching pieces. Are the legs on the console the same finish? Colors look pretty neutral so you could go in different directions finish wise.

Thank you! No coffee table and the end tables have to be about 23" H. Great point, we're trying to complement not match need to break up all the grey!

Please understand that you need to show an ENTIRE room and some of your furnishings to get solid advice. The picture you provided is inadequate. Good design comes about when every piece relates to everything in a room--walls, floors, lighting, rugs, style. etc. Doing things piecemeal just winds up with a new Design Dilemma.

That table I posted is approx. 24" high. I would verify it. Then do a round 24" on the other end with a different top, perhaps a stone. But it all depends on how much room you have for tables??

Notice this table has the strong chrome base. The items have to "relate" to each other, but this could work well with the first one I posted.

Can you do a rough sketch of the dimensions of your room and the sizing of the sofa and the chair? Take the tables I posted as "concepts". In other words, each table has to relate to the other either with similar metals, styles, or other materials.
