Thank you linelle and littlebug for your help. I was thinking it might be dated too but I just love that mirror! The picture does not do it justice. I will have to consider replacing that too. Hubby says whatever I want so he is no help. I guess I have trained him well. Haha.

I would start out with a large, beautiful rug in warm colors (terracotta or red Oriental rug mixed with other colors. I feel sectionals often confine you in how to organize your room. I would choose a fabric couch in a neutral, not too dark color (not gray, which is on its way out and not a warm color), and add two chairs in a different color or at least a different material and style. Try to keep the height of these pieces similar. Two end tables in wood (they don't have to be the same, but make sure the heights are fairly similar and a metal and glass coffee table would look great, with table lamps or floor lamps even if you have overhead lighting, which is always harsh. Pick colors from the rug for pillows and you'll have a beautifully coordinated living space. Books, good paintings and some tall plants will add warmth and personality to your room. People too often don't add these elements and then wonder why their rooms look bare and cold. This may be more colorful than you want to go. and this is a small rug because there is carpeting underneath, but it gives you the idea of neutral furniture and how it can be made more lively with accessories, pillows, coffee table styling etc.

Great job so far! Love your tile. If it were mine, I'd want large framed b&w photographs on both walls you're considering. Have you abandoned the seascape idea? I also think your mirror frame is a bit too wide. If you do consider changing it, consider a round one as proposed by Beverly. Here's a b&w seascape from Black & White magazine's 2018 photographer of the year. If you'd rather a painting, you can find all sorts of prints on Society6, etsy.... If you like fashion, CondéNast has an amazing black & white selection of their editorials. https://condenaststore.com/collections/black+and+white+photography/framed+prints You can even buy framed prints for around $150. Options abound. :)

I lke you idea of improving lights. My next one will be paint walls in light color, room is too small to do darks.
