Face the long side of the sectional so it’s facing the fireplace. Put the recliner where the tv is now, but pulled into the room a bit. Put the tv in the other corner left of the fireplace.

Reconsider painting the fireplace wall. You want something new, that will have a big impact for little money.

It would be helpful if you could take a picture that showed the complete wall so we could provide some options for you.

Here is the picture of complete wall. Thank you BeverlyFLADeziner!

I really need help with the carpet, wall decor and curtain color selection.

I think the curtains could be changed to a charcoal gray color, behind the couch the mirror is too small for the wall- I would suggest either a wall collage of family photos, or 3 different coordinating painted canvas artwork. the area rug change to a shag rug or something a little more plush in a pop color.

whatever color you choose for the carpet you will need to add coordinating colors for accent pillows on the couch to tie it all together.

auntthelma thank you for the reply! I like your idea but by setting up the sofa other way will block the doors and windows which I want easy access to because there is a whole wall of windows on the other side as shown in the pic below.

As suggested, turn the sectional so that the longer side is facing the fireplace. Paint the mauve wall the same color as the rest of the room. Put the TV on the wall opposite the window. Get a larger rug that is placed under the legs of the sofa. You need more curtain panels in order to give a fuller look.

Build an " art" display around the TV.

grapefruit1_ar, I like your idea but as I said I don't want to block the doors and windows on the other side and want easy access to go outside on the deck. The family room opens to the Kitchen and I have the same paint color in the whole house.

Focal Point Hardware, Great suggestion! I really like your idea of charcoal gray curtains and a collage. Can you please show me some pictures of collage? Also should the curtains be patterned or solid colors?

Focal Point Hardware, what pop color for the carpet you think will look good?

I understand you not wanting to block the wall of windows and doors, but the sofa really needs to face the fireplace and the TV go on the wall where the sofa is now. Can the sectional be reconfigured? If not, can some pieces be removed so you can turn it and still have passage to the doors?

Aunt Thelma's furniture arrangement is really the best for this room.

You also need a much larger rug. All feet of the sectional and recliner should be able to sit on at least the edge.

I have the same combination of white and wood. There are many colors that work. I personally find gray and warm wood tones to work less well - while they don't clash, they don't bring out the best in each other. Warm grays can work - these usually have a green undertone and some a beige undertone (a greige).

In my own home I've gone with light cream walls, colorful art - usually with blue in it, and blue is my main accent color. I even have a brown couch in my family room:) A place to start is with a pretty painting or print with coastal colors - warm browns, sand, cream, whites, blues and greens. If you want a less light space, go with a sage wall color - and here you can do the gray undertone. Look for a picture with a little more moody seascape - darker tones - but remember they need to work with warm wood, and go from there. You don't have to buy a painting or print - you can just get the colors from one online - but do keep your eyes open for art / decor that has the colors you like, but also is a piece you like and makes you smile:)

This is not my space - mine is too messy to take a pic of right now - but I like this mix of colors:

Another good mix of mostly calm colors:

I am currently struggling with curtains myself - I am thinking of something light with blue - like this:

jhmarie thx for great pics. I am trying to not add curtain color that dominates the fireplace. I think charcoal gray curtains will work because there is too much color of red and orange in my room i.e floor, sofa and accent wall. Gray tone carpet with gray in throw pillows may work. Any suggestion?

36 inches of walkway space is plenty, and it looks like you have the room. I'd definitely try moving the furniture because right now nothing looks cohesive, it's just all shoved into the corners.

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.

Should I add another piece of furniture to give it a cohesive look?

The television should be on the wall, not in front of a window. The sectional is too large for the room. You need a sofa and chairs for that room. If you have a basement that’s where that behemoth sectional belongs. I realize it might be a fun piece, but the size doesn’t fit the room. The maroon “accent” wall is sucking all the light out of the room. Take a cue from the fireplace stone, match one up and then go many shades lighter. Because computer monitors are notorious for not being color accurate, I can’t give you a specific color to go with. If you go with a sofa facing the fireplace and chairs in front of the patio door, you won’t be blocking access.

Thanks for the reply bellburgmaggie! I like your suggestion but I am stuck with this sofa :( The room is 20x20ft which is a big room so the room size is not a problem.

Do you think if I paint the red wall back to the light beige color which is on the other walls, the room will look better?

The art work gets lost on this large wall. Might have to consider painting the wall to help it along. Maybe paint the FP wall neutral and add the accent color to the large wall.

Thank you BeverlyFLADeziner! I really like the second pic with white carpet. I wonder if I leave the red wall as is, how will it look with the carpet you recommended in the second pic.

Does Houzz sell that carpet with lines and dots?

Rugs from Rugs USA. That red wall clashes with the leather on your sectional. Select a gray from the stonework instead. You have nothing red in the room.

BeverlyFLADeziner Can you please tell me where you found the diamond trellis rug you listed above? I cannot find it on Rugs USA....Thanks!
