You have a rug on carpet?

Question, where would you put a recliner and an ottoman?

YES, please pull the rug out so it is centered to the room that will help the space a lot!

Also, center the sofa to wall its on, it feels like it needs to go closer to the fireplace.

I would skip the ottoman since you have a built-in chaise and you want a recliner. I would go to the L style tray tables, I would consider returning the round end tables.

The cutie kiddo's look like the are enjoying the room to play as well so might want to have the option to keep it more open for them!

There’s no reason to have the rug pushed way back against the wall under the couch. Pull it out.

The couch is centered in the room. If I center the rug in the room the media console would also be on the rug. That was my question. Would that look ok? I would like to put a side chair/recliner in the space where the Xmas tree currently is.

IMO you have just the righ amount of furniture in that space I think since there is already carpet under the TV stand the rug could just be pulle dout toward that a bit.The TV needs to be lowered so it is just above the stand The drapes do nothing for the space get some nice roman shades if you want window coverings with a bit of color . I have to say the red in the kids clothes is a great addition to the space use it for a couple of the pillows for sure and if you go roman shades choose a fabric that also has a touch of red in it.

We just moved in. I do plan on getting Roman shades throughout the house however I’m not a color person. I prefer neutral with possibly a bit of navy. Maybe cognac.

So the short answer is yes pull the rug out, but not under the tv stand. You always get more then you ask for on Houzz lol.

I would do a side chair with an ottoman that way the ottoman can be used more than one way.

Thank you, Captain Obvious! ;-) But seriously, have you not seen this done before? Layering a rug over carpet (or even layering rugs on top of one another) is a great way to add one's own touch to a space where one might not have had an opportunity to choose or change the existing flooring.

I like the rug, and agree that it needs to be pulled out from under the sofa just a tad, but not extending all the way to touch the console. Looks like the OP has created a comfortable, warm play space for the little ones!

You have some very nice things going on in this room! Yes, pull that rug out so it's not quite meeting your console. The ottoman you want to purchase, is that an ottoman used as a coffee table? If yes, then that's great, will look good. I don't think a recliner will fit your space. You don't have a lot of room and recliners are usually large. You could still put a chair in that space but make it a small scale chair. Don't crowd the great look you have by adding a too large chair. If your side tables are leaning because of being half on and half off the rug, you have to get clever and get small pieces of wood to put underneath the short side to make table level. Either position pieces of wood so you don't see them or get yourself craft paint and paint them to match the table colour. You have a lovely home and your kids are adorbs!! Love the matching PJs!!

Pull rug out but not under console.

What about a small footprint swivel chair if you need more seating. And then an ottoman for a coffee table (or leave empty for now). I too think a C-table on the fireplace side would be better than the round table. And then you could have a floor lamp arcing over.

Nice space.

I would center the rug with the fireplace. Hopefully, that will still leave enough of it to slip under the front 1/3 of the seat part of your sofa.

When I pull the carpet out the two side tables won’t be on the rug any longer so that will remedy the leaning. My husband is pretty insistent on a recliner. There are some nice ones on the smaller side I’ve seen. I do plan on using the ottoman as a table as well. I need to dress up my mantle. I was thinking of layering a large round mirror with some artwork, trio of candles in different heights & some kind of plant/topiary. I also have this coming for the wall behind the couch:

You don't need to center the sectional on the rug. Slide the rug over so one end table is on the rug and one is just on the carpet. I would leave some space between the end of the rug and the console, as you have it. Measure carefully for the armchair/recliner so you know how much room you have. It looks like you will have to choose between having a recliner and having an ottoman. You don't have room for both. You might be able to fit a small stationary armchair and small ottoman.
