Is this your room? Having the sofa and chairs against the wall makes for a less friendly looking and disjointed room. Can you actually reach the coffee table (which I love) from any of the seating? I would try pulling all the pieces closer to the center, place a skinny sofa table behind the sofa and plants behind the chairs if necessary. The chair posted above is quite vibrant and may take over everything else in the room. I like the print, but maybe in a fabric less in-your-face. It would be helpful to see photos of the room from further back and framing the fireplace so we can see the distance between things more accurately.

You'll get input if you post current pix.

Hello Shelby, Here are some pictures/ideas/suggestions for your consideration. Picture #1 is of the living room using what you have and adding some décor. #2 is if you could switch rooms the dinning room for the living room. It would be much better to be able to walk into a living room instead of a dinning room. I understand that it would mean pulling the wires for the TV into the other room but I hope that an electrician could do that easily for you. Just a thought. Clarification questions: You are keeping the 3 seater and love seat leather couches? Getting rid of the recliner and the other love seat next to the recliner? Are you open/able to switch rooms? How do you feel about getting a 2 seater/love seat recliner that would match the size of the love seat you already have? If you are letting go of the two couches; what about a sectional? Let me know what you want and I can change the 3D image so you can see what it would look like with the changes. Marcie

The issue is the scale. A large TV always hogs a room and becomes THE focal point becasue black is a grounding colour. It is also hung too high, shrinking your ceiling height, visually. Luckily, theres an easy and cheap remedy - PAINT! Dark colours are really trendy now, so you can do a feature wall to disguise the TV altogether. A charcoal, dark navy, or deep eggplant colour could all be solutions. a favourite of mine is Iron Mountain by Benjamin Moore. Replace the miniscule shelves with a set of thick floating shelves in a similar light wood finish to match your console, on either side of the TV for your artwork and small plants. This will draw the eye outward, to balance the scale of the room, without compromising your footprint of floorspace (and keep your current console and pet tent). Anchor the room with a light rug in a jute or other natural material. this should run in front of the console and sofa, to be an appropriate scale for the room. Since your sofa (chair?) is dark, you will need to dress with some light cushions and throws so you don’t have dark furniture layered against dark paint.
