I would:

1. Add a large piece of art behind the console. Do not shop at TJmax or Home Goods for this. Try antique shops, craft, shows or art shows. Ebay used to be great for self-representing artists, but I think that has changed. Etsy might be worth looking at too. You can also frame a large piece of wallpaper or fabric that you love. Any budding artists in the family?

2. Find a beautiful oriental style rug to bring in some color and life to the space. Similar size to what you have now.

Thank you Chispa! I would love to get an area rug with color-I agree, the room needs color. But the room is 16 X 16 and I can't find a 12 X 12 area rug...the rug in the picture is a bound piece of carpeting.

I"m confused. Are they getting married in this room? Are you decorating it for them as a gift?

Lol NYCish!

No, they won't be getting married in this room, but I know I will be doing a lot of entertaining and just really need to finish the space.

Large art. Lively, not dull, colors. It can be about two-thirds the width of the sofa.

Etsy has lots of large format prints.

ApplePie... thank you so much! Do you think I should look for something with a heavy frame or a light frame?

A 9 x 12 rug would work in the space. You don't have to be all symmetrical.

A dark brown frame would be fine, in the same color family as the sofa. Heavy frames aren't seen much these days. Tape up some newspaper to see what size looks good. Pick a common size so you can get a ready-made frame.

That is a great idea! Thank you!

In a pinch, all you really need is big art over the sofa table between the lamps. I would remove all the tchotchkes you have back there.

You don't need a 12 x 12' rug. A rectangular rug will do just fine. Just make sure it's big enough to slip all the way under the legs like this:

Grover, thank you for the picture! I'm a visual person, that helps a lot. As you can see in the first picture, I have honey oak stained french doors, and I purchased glass french doors. I am replacing the floor molding with 5 inch molding, and painting the crown molding white as well...what color for the french doors? Black or white? I've seen a lot of black lately and I really love the black, but I don't have a lot of natural light in the house, so maybe white? I don't know...

following

Because you have no ideabooks, I chose pretty generic art.

Here are your French doors in white and black:

I'd go with white.

Paint the ceiling molding the same as the walls.

Replace the fan with a striking semi-flush mount ceiling fixture.

Try turning the sectional so it is facing the three windows (for wedding time…no one will be watching t v on that special day).

You need a console for the t v, all the time and wedding time. Buy a beauty which you can set up as a bar.

Art for the wedding on the wall:

Buy some fun $ chairs to add temporary seating.

White French doors IMO. I like grover's 6-frame grouping.

9 by 12 rug would be fine here. So would a 10 by 14. No center medallion or strong border. Framing depends on both the space and the artwork(s) itself. That said, I don't see an ornate frame in this room's future. How much space is between the lamps and how much between the top of sofa to crown?

Beautiful room. Like your rug and wouldn't change it. Really like what you've already done behind the sofa -- a place for your lamps. Like your French doors as is -- would not paint unless the current finish is damaged.

For the wall behind the sofa: It doesn't look bad blank so until you are sure you have found something you truly want in your space every day, leave it blank.

Are you someone that likes to vacation at the beach or in the mountains? Do you especially like colorful sunsets or forests? Be on the lookout for something that evokes good memories or hopes and aspirations or pleasant dreams

You could use one large piece of art or a grouping of smaller pictures of the same theme that, together would create one work of art. You could even use a row of smaller picture frames between the lamp shades -- creating a dotted line between the shades the same height as the shades.

You could add a thick round glass top to the small round "end" table and display a family picture beneath it as your coffee table. The glass top will protect your treasured photograph(s) -- changeable with your mood or the season -- and protect the table top itself.

Like the portable sofa table in your pics ... but do keep it portable.

Be on the lookout for a pair of matching narrow end tables as deep as the arm of the sofa. You might look for wood the same finish as your French doors. If you're entertaining, you'll want your guests to be able to have a place to set a cup or glass. Do invest in some attractive coasters for their use as well.

If, after your tv console arrives, you still want a chair in the corner by the tv, you might consider a very narrow corner cabinet or corner wall shelf behind your chair next to the tv could hold books and a floor lamp/table combo adjacent to it could make it a more attractive place to sit.

You have room behind your sofa for a basic "bar stool" type plant stand with a tall potted plant in front of your window(s) -- at least at the end where the wires show -- perhaps a tall snake plant.

Congrats to your daughter and her betrothed. Enjoy the parties.

Really like that last one grover!

Everyone-I haven't looked at all the comments, I'm so sorry! Went to church, then got word my sister broke both of her wrists! Please don't give up on me-I really do need the help and I appreciate every single one of you!

Oh man, I feel for your sister. We won't give up on you; we'll be here whenever you need us.

Thank you all for your patience...some wine (for calming purposes) and a good night sleep go a long way! I've taken the time to look at all the pictures and I LOVE everything! When you don't know how to decorate, anything and everything looks better than what I've got! Judy G-LOVE the pendant light! Grover, love all your rug and art pieces! LOVE the blue-but your last picture sure was stunning! I've never been a big fan of tones of yellow, but the area rug and pictures are awesome! One last question, I also have an affinity for repurposed furniture with updated, transitional material...I love the look of it, but could never do it on my own. Would two chairs in that flavor look good on either side of the soon to be tv console, or is this a less is more situation? Thank you again for all your help!

Hollybar- You asked the distance between the lamps - 107 inches and between the table and crown molding - 56 inches...

Grover- I LOVE the tree picture-can I actually buy that? And I love your 3 blue area rugs, can I buy those as well? Although I'm still loving the last picture- so absolutely unbelievable to have so many BEAUTIFUL options!

Patsy, everything I Photoshopped in your room is available somewhere. The tree canvas is by Judy Paul; see all her work here: https://gallerydirect.com/search?real_artist_s[]=Judy%20Paul

The rugs:

If there is 107" between the lamps, one canvas isn't gonna do it. You really need about 70 - 80" of art there, unless you move the lamps. You can get canvases up to 84" from art.com's Loft Art. Let me play around a bit with sizing on that wall.

The largest size of the Judy Paul piece (or pretty much any art from most online sources) is 48". It could work if you move the lamps, but it's a little underwhelming.

Here are three framed prints with lamps in their original positions:

And a guess at the size of a 72 x 48" canvas from Loft Art (which are currently 50% off, so the piece below would be $220):

Grover, thank you! I actually LOVE the last piece of art you have pictured-and 50% off is a bonus my accountant husband will approve! I couldn't get 3 pictures the size you have suggested for that price! Thank you so much! Thank you all for all your wonderful advice and knowledge!

No to chairs beside the credenza. it would be too close on the door side.

Get real. When weddings are down to 5, including the Minister, no one's going to buy your spsm dresses.
