I agree that from what I can see of your room a couch facing the TV (on a long console) and two chairs at right angles to the couch would be best. An important purchase would be a large rug that will cover most of this area, which should have cool and warm colors in it both so that your decorating can go in any way you wish. Having mostly cool colors (especially the dreaded gray which is out now) makes the room seem very one-dimensional, as would all warm colors. You want a balance of both for an interesting room. I would choose a couch and chairs in neutral colors (and not brown or black!) which will give you lots of options for pillows, throws, wall art and other accessories. When you have the TV and a long console on that wall you don't need anything else there (and certainly not the hot mess the previous owners had) but you can have a gallery wall around the TV filled with art you love. Please don't put anything there just for the sake of filling up the space. I would make the curtain rods longer so that the curtains don't go over the windows when they're open. Choose a color that's close to the wall color for the curtains in a heavier material and wide enough so they don't look skimpy.

Hi Gabriel G- Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Real life sometimes interferes with social media participation. I don't know whether or not you have already ordered your light fixtures rendering my comments moot, but here goes. From what I can see of your dining room. you have great taste yourself already, that is contemporary, fresh, and hip. If I had to guess, you probably dress that way too. (When you aren't constrained by on-the-job dress-codes.) So think of how you pick out your clothing and accessories. You look at women who have a look you like and then you deconstruct it as to what you like about it, what are the pieces they are wearing that you like, and what do you like about them, and would they look good on you? Or do they need to be tweaked? Longer, shorter, a different color, a different fabric,, a different belt because of your waist or height. You also look at magazines. Maybe you look at award shows to see the gowns and the jewelry. Maybe you look around in church at the outfits and the hats. And here's a great thing to do if you haven't done it- Go to the best high-end store and see what they are showing and how the things are accessorized. Try on what you like and feel the material and read the labels. Look at how the seams are constructed, where the darts are and how they are made. Look at everything and how you look in it. Then go to a store you can afford and buy something that most approximates the quality you found in the high end store. Okay, so why am I talking about clothing in a thread about lighting? We've already established that you have an eye. Trust yourself to use it with your chandeliers, too. Scour through the design magazines like Architectural Digest and look at the chandeliers, especially the ones for the rooms you want to buy for. Do web searches for dining room makeovers. Foyer furnishings and re-dos. They will have new fixtures, too. Do web searches for lighting awards, lighting designer awards. Look at the credits for the manufacturers, then go to those manufacturers websites to see their full lines of fixtures. Look up on line high end lighting manufactures and high end lighting stores Yes that's a lot of work, but you know, you will look at those fixture every single day until you sell that house. And before you jump in to say, but those fixtures will cost a fortune, yes they will. You don't need to buy from the Needless-Markup of lighting fixtures unless you want to and can afford it. What you are going to do is get an idea of what is out there and what you like. Do you like round fixtures, do you like fixtures that have folds, exposed bulbs shaped liked torches, rounded globes that are big, rounded globes that are small, do you like a little bling? A lot of bling? Do you like things that are branched? You need to educate yourself to even know what is available. Because with clothing you have been doing that your whole life. You've never done that with light fixtures, and this is a huge purchase that you can't just wear once and throw out if it doesn't make you happy. you and your family and friends will see it every day for as long as you have that house. And then you go around to different places to see what looks most like your dream fixture at a price point you can afford. Just like you do for your clothing. And do go to good lighting places in your area. They have sales and sometimes they will customize a piece to your liking, and even install it for you. Not just the Home Depot, Lowes type places. Your money isn't burning a hole in your pocket. Wait and take your time and buy something you love, love, love. You should look up at it and say this is gorgeous, it really enhances the room, it is art. Because it is. That's why I can't tell you what to pick, because like art it is so individual. For example, lots of people think Dale Chihuly fixtures are just wonderful but I think they either look like Medusa's hair (crazy snakes) or millions of sperm attempting to penetrate the egg. You couldn't pay me enough to have one! You can do this. Trust yourself and your taste. You know you have it.

Great simple, attractive design to start with. I don't think you need much more if you are mintaining contemporary look. Less will be more- but this also means focus on quality. Make every additional piece count. Wall color looks grey-? It reads a little lavendar on my monitor. Are you keeping that? If so, pillows with any color in them will have to compliment wall color (blue, for ex, may pull out more lavendar, which wouldn't look great, imo); so, too, should everything else. I would wait and do pillows last. Start with new rug or great piece of art, large scale and above the sofa, before getting pillows, etc. Find something that helps you confirm a simple color scheme, something to add to the white you have. Art will help add personality. Your orchid on table looks great. Oversized, stacked coffee table books always look great- even one stack of books, placed across from orchid. And maybe think about replacing blinds with something more contemporary- solar shades, in white, black, grey, or brown- depending on color scheme. A chandelier will look great- and try to have at least one more source of lighting, a floor and/or table lamp. And maybe a sleek, black, small pedestal side table. For a final touch, add something green and alive- A vase of bamboo stalks or some modern looking plant. Good luck!

LB Interior-sorry missed your comment. So the color we paint in the living room will be the same color we paint our first floor (living room open to kitchen,formal dining and office). Can you post a sample of the blue-gray.
