There are many ideas out there, There will likely be some that you like.

I think it would help us to see all sides of the room and the furniture arrangement you will have in it. Thanks.

this is our living room layout

Save you money and don't buy a different console. Your console is great. It just needs a larger TV and that will be less expensive than the console. Stick a plant or floor lamp in the corner.

I'm wondering who is eight feet tall? The picture over sectional is also way too high and way too small.

First lower that TV to sit on the wall just above the console Beverly has a great idea. IMO a bunch of stuff on the wall around a TV is just too busy. You could add a much larger piece of art over the sectional and much larger lamps . Real plants are always nice if you get the right ones for your light. I love the console but really do not like the DR furniture with it

Rugs would help too. : ) Bigger.

Thanks Beverly, I just literally bought the console, so I’m not looking to replace it. I just needed some help with decorating around it. Thanks

Patricia,’ unfortunately Im stuck with the sectional for now. What does DR mean, I’m not sure.

I think she meant dining room furniture

Oh, yes I completely agree, we do need a new table.

Patricia, thank you for your feedback. What dining table would look nice with my console, a more modern, mid-century one?

Is your sectional tan or gray? It looks gray in some pictures, tan in others. If it is gray, I would suggest a rug with a tan and gray print. At the very least some tan and gray pillows. Tan and gray are both neutrals but they don't play nice together. Gray is a cool color, your console and floors and paint are warm. If you use a print to help the eye blend the two colors, the room will look more cohesive.

The sectional is a vintage grey color. I’m really liking the carpet!!!

Beverly what kind of lamp color and style would work next to the console? We went ahead and got a 60” tv. Do you guys think it’s too big? Now I’d like to get a floor lamp and something to go in between piano and console as it’s so boring looking but not sure what. I’d also like to replace lights near couches. But not sure what type and color shades. Any more ideas?

This is our new tv and console.

Looks great! As mentioned above, you can put a nice large plant on one side. If you don't have a green thumb you can get a tall floor vase with tall filler like grasses or branches. Be careful with the fullness and proportion. If you have a large vase you don't want wimpy filler.

Wow they are so pretty! Where do you get such vases with plants?

If there is room, I would move the piano to the area across from the dining table. Center the sectional across from the tv., and in the back corner of the sectional put an arch light similar to this: https://www.houzz.com/products/lui-source-noah-floor-lamp-walnut-wood-frame-and-marble-base-prvw-vr~102510118.

Your side table could be a little taller (around height of the sofa arm). Add a table lamp to it. Another poster can tell you how tall it should be.

Are you looking for rugs yet? Be sure to measure so that the front & side legs of the sectional are on the rug. I think a side chair would be a good addition; put it on the edge of the rug angled toward the sectional. Then you have a conversation area when not watching tv. Or, get a swivel chair so that they could also watch the tv.

Check Pier 1 for the tall vases and plants; be sure to watch for sales/clearance since Pier 1 has declared bankruptcy and is closing 400+ stores.

I have a large dark aqua/turquoise vase in a slightly rustic finish, 30" tall and not skinny, and have large fiddle leaf fig faux leaves in it, with a few twisty branches stuck in here and there. All from Pier 1.

Nothing to add.. only to say that I love, love that console.

Diana, black lights never occurred to me. You think it would work in my living room? I was planning to get a light for the corner next to console as the area is dark as well as a lamp for the side table to replace the old one. . I want to make sure they all look balanced and brighten my living room.

Looks much better already

Your lowered larger tv was the solution

Luminel, I didn't mean the color (probably not a black shade), just the type of arching lamp over that corner. I know some posters on here don't advise two arching lights in a room; maybe a floor lamp that points upward by the tv corner. Other posters?

i really like the rug deegw posted. something with a pattern in colors you want to bring into the room. anything with your neutral sectional could work I personally would NOT put a light in the corner by the tv console because I feel there should be a reason for it. a plant there would be better. task lighting as you currently have is all I would do. the end tables should be close to the arm height of the sectional. maybe bring in a new color for the lights. and new larger art for above the sectional mounted lower then your current picture

@dianabythelocks, has a great idea, I was thinking the same thing. Can the piano move to the opposite wall, then center the console with the sectional. I was also wondering if you could turn your dining table the other direction? And yes if you're open to replacing it something like your console, MCM would fit in.

I also agree with the rug, to ground the space, the one you have now with the sectional is a bit too small. Also larger art over the sectional.

Cheryl, there is little light in that corner by the console at night. I have to point the piano light toward that corner if we’re playing floor games and such. It’s quiet a nuisance. I feel like I need some type of light there. Do you think a small lamp work on the corner of the console? Or maybe one of those floor projector lights, place it behind a large plant. I don’t have a green thumb, maybe faux plants might be smarter for me.! 🙏 thanks

Hi Dawn, thanks for the great ideas!! Unfortunately I need to keep the piano on the wall with console, it’s super loud for our neighbors. I’d like to get a carpet but just not sure what to get. I understand a patterned one but not sure what colors besides grey and beige I should look for. My place lacks color. I do like the look of burned orange/tangerine, mustard yellow, green, not sure what color would work

When you pick some art that you love to go behind the sofa, you could get inspiration for some pillows for your sofa (and chair?). This might also give you some ideas for choosing a rug with a little more color. Have you looked for any art?

Luminel - I just did a quick search on esalerugs.com My search parameters were "large" and "orange" and I saw lots of nice choices for your space.

I have personally used esale and have been very pleased. I do suggest that since you are getting a large rug, I would first order the smallest size available to check the color and texture in your space. If you like it you can use the extra rug by your door. If you don't, the small size will be much easier to return.

esale has free shipping and returns but wrapping and lugging a 9 by 12 rug to the post office is a pain.

Another thought about the piano. What about moving the dining table to the other side and moving the piano farther down the wall? Or at least find a tall plant to put between. Maybe it's just I, but the black seems to distract the focus of your pretty console and tv viewing area.

Move table/chairs to other side of room .Move piano up to where table was then center sofa and rug with console/Tv

Hmmm. If I move the table and chairs to the other side of the room then it will block the entrance. But I can center the table even more and bring the piano down a bit. Then, I will have a space to fill between the piano and console sole.

Diana, I’m not sure what kind of art would work with my massive sofa, and the color is hard to work with. Any suggestions?

Art is very personal - what I like might not appeal to you. Look on-line (Arttwo50.com; icanvas.com; greatbigcanvas.com); usually you can enter some criteria such as Landscapes, Floral, Modern, size, even a major color you want. See what you like, and consider if overall the colors will go with your gray sofa, maybe your console color, etc. I think when you see some, you'll be able to narrow it to a few. The wall behind your sofa can take a large size. Pros on this forum will help you when you have a few you are considering. From the artwork, you can think about colors for pillows and a rug.

Try out your table & piano positions and take a picture to let us see it.

Get a larger tv and lower it. Put a large plant in the corner in a large basket bag. I love the fiddle leaf fig. I prefer real trees but artificial will work.
