To me the wall paint is too dark and you need lighter paint, which will make the room brighter. A nice colorful rug on the floor, a chair by the uplight and maybe a floor lamp behind the back corner of the sectional....can't see it so don't know if it will fit. A colorful throw over the couch and maybe one colorful pillow would brighten things up. If possible, pull your blinds up and let the natural light come in.

We are in a rental home, which means no wall mounts for us! thats part of the predicament, i think. I feel like the sectional also closes off so much of the available wall space that I can't create a "nook" for my office area. The room is roughly 16ft by 17ft with vaulted ceilings. The built-in was originally a wet bar, and was turned in to an open storage area. The "bar" itself sits pretty high (too high to consider making that area of "office" style use!) So we figured that's where our TV would have to go. Thank you so much for your interest in helping me!!

You might choose a drop leaf dining table with wheels so you can move it into place only as needed. With very comfortable bar seats, you might not need to use your dining table and chairs all of the time. You could try your loveseat with its back against the ?front? wall -- with door to its left and patio/balcony to its right. What other furnishings do you need to fit in this place? If you've not yet purchased them, choose undersized items and "go vertical" a tall cabinet will provide more storage for less floor space used. Having each item that can do "double duty" will also help. A file cabinet could store bank statements, bills and even photographs as well as serve as an end table (or bedside table). A tall corner cabinet with solid doors below and glass doors or open shelving above could store items you want to display as well as items you don't -- and you could put furnishings in front of it. A dining buffet cabinet could double as a tv stand; however, having a portable tv stand could prove more convenient. https://www.walmart.com/ip/32-to-65-Inch-Mobile-TV-Stand-Universal-Flat-Screen-Rolling-TV-Cart-with-Mount-for-LED-LCD-Plasma-Flat-Panels-on-Wheels/774114227?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227280774471&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=339502173742&wl4=aud-430887228898:pla-688392850314&wl5=9011062&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=774114227&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1Nr026Ov6AIVgZOzCh0p8QN_EAkYASABEgIb1vD_BwE Perhaps choose a small storage ottoman with a lid that, flipped, could also serve as a table.

I'd like to just tell everyone about a website that lets you design any room you wish, down to the shape of the room, the windows, the awkward walls you may have, the size of the room, then you place furniture in the room. There are thousands of types of furniture and tons of accessories. Everything from vases to rugs to drapes to outlets. Anything you could think of, it's there. Plants, outdoor things, kitchen cabinets, you name it. It's a great tool for us non-pros who like to dabble in rearranging a room. It's called RoomStyler.com Oh - I'm not associated in any way with the website. It doesn't sell anything. It's free to use.
