A long, low, console under the TV between the windows is a good idea. Don't put shelves or mirrors or anything else on that wall. You need to account for the drapes which will hang on both sides on the windows. I would use white or cream maybe with some texture. As an alternative, you could use roman shades instead. For the rug, look for something with some pattern that also has a bit of the red color. A darker rug would ground the space and be more baby friendly. A round gold/marble or gold/wood table would work well. You don't have room for a sofa table behind the sofa without encroaching on the walkway, so leave that clear. Put a large piece of art on the wall behind the sofa instead. Get an end table and table lamp for the space between the sofa and chair. You may be able to fit a low bench under the window perpendicular to the door, which would give you more seating and a place to stash your shoes under it.

Notice how this rug has just enough red to coordinate with the red sofa.

In some of your photos, your walls look pink. I'd try changing out the light bulbs to a cooler light to see if you can get a more accurate color.

I love red sofas, but I don't much care for them paired with black, gray, and/or white. Then they become harsh. I would bring in some wood tones and tans, earthy colors, to soften the look.

One long console between the windows with enough space for curtains. No shelves, no mirrors, nothing above the TV.

I would select a wall mounted cabinet for under a large TV

Do you want to add an electric fireplace to your wall?

I think this photo embodies what you might be looking for: both soft and glam. It incorporates soft gold tones. You won't have a lot of horizontal space to add items, as in this photo. That's fine. Add texture and interest in pillows, throws, interesting ottoman. I'd get something soft with kids around. You might consider forgoing the marble table till the kids are older.

Be very careful not to add too much.

1st photo: On the tv wall, I'd have only the tv and console.

2nd photo: I think you want drapes in this room. Once you add drapes, there might be enough room for the wedding photos. I would not add a table. You might be able to add a bench.

3rd photo: not enough room for a sofa table. That is a walkway.

4th photo: Again, no furniture. This would be a great place for a series of skinny mirrors.

How close is the chair to the counter? Placing the chair on the opposite side, might be a better choice.

Long and low is the way to go since you'll have drapes on the side. A large art work would be wonderful there as well.

Not a Pro. This cocktail table is soooo cool! Just enough glam. See how the area rug picks up the red in the sofa. Add an accent chair with flair. Your fan light needs to go. Hang a chandelier.

The first think I would think through is the furniture arrangement. I think I might prefer the sofa on the side with windows and the baby rainbow toy. Then, you would have more "mobility" in the room. Here is rough sketch for potential layout. Also, window treatments might be best with woven woods since our windows are laid out in such a way that drapery panels will be tough to get looking uniform and with sufficient balance each side, especially the one in the corner. I like the idea of floating the sofa and love seat? and then you can add another chair. Big rug. Big wood coffee table. In fact, Nora posted a great coffee table recently, I love too. A sofa table behind the sofa with a couple lamps would help that side of the room and better utilize that floor space. I toy chest could sit at the end of the love seat for stowing toys. This will be full of toys in no time!

I stuck a few media cabinets in your room for you to see if any of these go the direction you would like.

More:

New paint, new light fixtures (no fan), large patterned carpet, two chairs instead of the smaller sofa, TV credenza, drapes, coffee table.

Before you rush out to buy a dining table and chairs, how about starting a dining room ideabook and saving photos of the rooms you love. It will give you more direction and you can plan the whole room. Otherwise you run the risk of bringing home something that will be hard to make work in the room.

Slow down, one room at a time.

Hi, I would not go dark with the table. Obviously, neither the counter lights nor the dining light works. You have an opportunity to coordinate your dining and living. This is not the opportunity that all have. So, I would recommend you choose these all together.

One way, if you absolutely fall in love with one item (say dining table) you can base your other decisions around that. Otherwise, you should be shopping for a dining table, making several selections, then shop for your living room, making several selections, then pull it all together.

Here are some inspirational ideas for you. Kids will not get a drop of food on the sheepskin covers. LOL Had to add it, though, because it really makes a statement. How about a bench with a sheepskin throw?

Wow. We all typed the same at the same time!

It's always nice to have a 6-foot banquet table around for extra seating for parties. I'd buy one and cover it with a tablecloth for the party.

Move the large red chair to the other side for better flow.

Find something to put the tv on. I'll bet you have something temporarily?

Buy some decorations and have a ball!

You have enough to do right now. You'll make better decisions after the party.

Sooo my husband came home with this rug...we’re now looking for a coffee table with a medium tone wood top or all wood & some throw pillows

Sooo, tell your husband I said the rug is too small. Two feet longer and two feet wider should do it.

I am sorry. The rug is too small. In the future, plan measurements. It will save you a lot of time and money.

Design is both art and math and more math than people realize. The next time you look for an item, have parameters.

This big:

The rug your husband chose has nice colors. Hopefully it comes in a larger size.

Have you considered moving the large chair to the opposite side?

Yep, we’re moving the love seat to the other side. I know that you guys are tired of me, lol! Here’s Another update....My sweet husband : / found this brown table for $97 (it’s non-refundable) after we discussed adding a light colored table or just a fold up table for now.....im not winning : ( maybe we can white wash it or something : (

A dark table might be fine. Post some photos. Did it come with chairs?

Large original artworks are an excellent addition that gives character to any space. Good luck and enjoy decor !

Sounds like you and hubby aren’t on the same page. Buying a table, without ability to return is red flag to me. He bought that rug too without your involvement. The rug is wrong size and style. No photo of the table. But better sit down and talk about this and reach some compromises otherwise, these situations can fester and get ugly over time.

I’m taking a decor break right now but here’s the table

This is the Lowe dining chair from Crate & Barrel. Comes in a slew of colors; I chose two I thought might work:

And here are a couple of chairs I found in your ideabook:

(I notice you seem to have already bought bar stools.)

What is your goal for the kitchen table (other than it fit your design style)?

How many people do you want to seat?

What is the size of the space?

Is your dh willing to measure and make a plan with you?

Having a plan before purchasing can actually save $.

Enjoy the party!
