How often do you use the fireplace? I am assuming this is why you have the sofa faced the way it is? I like the curtains, but everything is beige so yes to keeping the wood. Whats behind the sofa?

Its a very neutral color palette. Would suggest some pops of color with pillows, artwork, etc. Would be careful about the pic/photo gallery. It can be difficult to get a harmonious composition. Instead consider a bigger, bolder piece of art that will add punch and impact to your room. Your rug is nice but would you consider replacing it with one that has much more color and pattern. Rugs can anchor a room quite nicely and provide interest. Would you consider replacing the buffet with an armoire so the tv can be hidden when not in use? Good luck!

I think your space feels restful and quiet.

I agree with Norwood.....you need some color!!

Love your room but looks like your TV is a little high...Any way to get a lower console for it? Some pretty colorful pillows and a throw and it would be so cozy and comfy.

Turn the rug horizontally to the t v. Turn the sectional to the t v. Put single chair and end table to the left of the t v.

New table lamp would add some color and heft to the scheme…green, like your plants.

Turn your end tables so the longer side runs along the chair/sofa arms. I would look for one large piece of vertical art for the wall between the window and TV, instead of a gallery wall, to keep the serene feel of the room.

I'd get a larger and much more colorful rug, perhaps an Oriental, to add interest to this nice but very bland room. There's no reason you can't have a gallery wall around the TV, but stay away from cookie-cutter box store prints. Make the art meaningful to you and real.

Can the buffet go to the dining room so you can lower the TV to the appropriate viewing height?

A new lamp or a new shade for the existing lamp along with a basket or other holder for the plant in the corner. I think adding green accents to your cozy space would be lovely. Art-wise, I would not do a gallery but I'd stack two or three pieces (do you like landscapes...lovely framed vintage oils are inexpensive on ebay especially) between the TV and window. On my monitor,the drapes do seem a bit off but after more accessories are added, they will recede in prominence.

If possible, I would lower the TV. And maybe add a slim console behind the sofa.

I assume the furniture is arranged this way so you can still see the fireplace. The curtains are perfect.

The biggest difference you could make is with a longer, lower TV console. Then you can connect it, the TV, and some art so it all reads as one.

I really like that tv arrangement with pics. Your curtains are fine. Just need art/pics & green lamp or some color. A color throw/pillows. Maybe different rug.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. Groveraxle-I really like how you arranged the photos! That was so nice of you to do. I'm going to look at some colorful lamps and artwork. I agree-it needs some pizzazz.

Very nice room. Curtains look nice. You could add some color if you wanted with pillows, a different area rug (I‘s get something larger and flip

it. You can use painters tape to mock up the size on the floor. It’s really helpful.) The first thing I noticed was the lamp looks a little tired so I’d replace that with something else. Just be careful it’s not too short. I like wood in a room too. I’d keep your buffer as the tv stand. A lot of people feel it should be lower for comfortable viewing but if it doesn’t bother you I wouldn’t change it. A higher tv has never bugged me. Your current stand is nicer than lot of consoles out there.

I’d decide what you want to do about a rug first and go from there. If you get a rug you’ll want to be sure you repeat some of those colors. You could stay neutral with a rug too. Did you consider one of the natural ones like seagrass,sisal, jute etc.? You could also layer a small rug on top if you wanted. I do like that look but it may make the room busier than you’d like. I’d add a small lumbar pillow to the chair and probably two 20” pillows to the couch. Do you have any throw blankets? That’s another way to add color and texture. I visually love pillows but find I can‘t tolerate as many IRL. At most I’d add two square pillows to the couch and maybe a lumbar though if you add a throw to the couch and Two pillows that could be three things. Many say groupings of odd numbers too good and I agree. I have a rather large loveseat and its sporting a 20” pillow, small lumbar and a folded throw blanket (folded so it goes over the back partially and hangs vertical down the front.) I’m getting rambley. :)

A gallery wall would look nice around the tv but I would grab some poster board and painters tape to do some mock ups for a visual. You can always try that and post pics here for feedback too.

It’s a pretty room. Good luck!

I would buy new covers for the couch and chair, something with color bemz.com

Hi smurfette36-

Your credenza is lovely!

If you are comfortable viewing your television with it placed there, then by all means, leave the credenza right where it is.

Can you put up some photos of what the other end of the room looks like?

Also the adjoining room?

I also think the room desperately needs some more color, even if the color is black.

You can do this with a new rug, or you can keep the rug and add the color with art.

It is difficult to do a gallery wall. It can easily look like clutter, or like one can't afford a larger important work.

But in the end, one actually spends more on the sum of those several smaller pieces that aren't anywhere as nice as the one larger piece you could have purchased that would have made your heart sing every time you saw it.

I favor a hand knotted Oriental rug such as a Persian of any type. They last forever and never go out of style and go with any furniture type and color. And they are less expensive than most people realize.

But you can certainly keep your current rug, and just turn it 90 degrees.

You can get some throw pillows in whatever color way you like, but for sure, please get them with interesting textures such as nubby knit, velvet, corded trim, etc.

Or your "color" can be black, and a couple of pillows can be an animal print with black, such as a leopard, and your art print can be a black and white print of anything you like.

You can go on https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqNWcuYzc4gIViMhkCh16OgxNEAAYASAAEgLHYfD_BwE

and look for things by style or color or by any of the way things are categorized to get an idea of what you like.

I would replace the lamp in the corner, that one is too small and old fashioned. I would not get one with a colored base. That is too restricting, because if you decide to change things up in the room, you are stuck with a lamp in a specific color that will cost a pretty penny to replace.

Get a sturdy lamp in the appropriate size in a classic shape.

Also, the plant in that corner is undersized, please keep your eyes open at tag sales for a big, big one, either a kentia palm or a fiddle leaf fig.

We might get a longer TV console that matches the end tables and coffee table. Then we'd also look for a bigger rug.

Love your neutral palette. It's calm and relaxing. A longer TV console would be good in a fairly light wood. Art and photos like Grover shows would be great. I wouldn't go overboard on bright color.
