To complete my living room, I need to add something (s) on both sides of the fireplace that is symmetrical but have no idea what. Considering shelves with art but need to be simple since the room is not large. I am stuck!

Desperate for Help in Decorating Living Room
Comments (3)Hi Alma, Let's start with your furniture layout. Just to make the room feel better without making major changes move the single recliner out of that corner and to the other side of the sofa on an angle. Then, bring the sofa closer into the room so it lines up with your hall wall and slide the loveseat down closer to the sofa creating a nice spot for a shared end table with a lamp. Position you coffee table so that it is centered on the sofa/love but enough space to open your recliners. If you still have room between the Sofa and chair, Add another table and lamp. Next find curtains that are long enough to just touch the floor. Simple changes can make a big impact....See MoreUpdated: "Help me decorate my living room - Desperate help needed!"
Comments (1)I see a few things that aren’t horrible, by any means, but could be changed. Mirror and sideboard, for instance, as mirror is too large for the sideboard and it overwhelms the room, reflecting the t v. Try the art over the sideboard and add a floor lamp where the plant is, as it will do double duty for the sofa and the art. Have you ever thought about adding a floor to ceiling strip of trim to separate the dining area from the living area and painting that wall a color? Something like this with a couple of white shelves on that wall?...See MoreHelp! I need ideas on how to finish decorating my living room

Comments (74)Curtains would be a good idea. Even though you have blinds for privacy, curtains make the windows look finished. A little eyeliner besides the mascara. I would not do a colored curtain here. Curtains are just to darn expensive to have to switch out when your color palette changes. I would suggest white or off white, whichever you prefer in a silk or silk-like fabric, and get a marvelous trim for the edge. The edge trim can be in a white and black or whatever color you want to take from your rug or elsewhere in the room. I would not do a curtain trim in gold here because I see 4 windows, for 8 panels, that would be a lot of gold. You want tasteful gold embellishment in a space, not Liberace in Las Vegas. Here are some examples of trimmed curtains. Buy the plain curtain, and then buy the trim of your choice, and buy extra trim to embellish throw pillows, and buy coordinating different scale trim for other throw pillows. Another curtain option is a white curtain with a subtle pattern woven or printed on it....See More
