Hi kris-

First- Are all of the plants in the room live plants? If so, you have a great green thumb!

If they are not live plants, please get rid of the artificial ones, and artificial flowers, too.

The little white table between the two brown chairs, and to the left of the brown chair are undersized.

A side table is supposed to be large enough to hold drinks and even a plate. Unless it is a trick of the angle of the photograph, that table just can't serve that purpose.

I would get a good sized side table for between those two brown chairs.

The metal grid on the wall with the wreath on it does not enhance your room.

Can you please find some art that interests you? That wall is large enough for two pieces.

Or if you prefer, you might find a large work of textile art.

There are a lot of things on your mantle, and it reads as clutter.

Can you pare that down?

The mirror to the left of the television is not that interesting and that is not a good place for a mirror either.

What you could do on either side of the television is mount a bracket and put on each bracket something that you like that is three dimensional, and it doesn't have to be the same on both sides.

It could be an interesting plate or platter, or a ethnic-type carving or basket, or a large shadow box with specimen seashells or butterflies or moths, or candlesticks, or headress or mask or anything you like.

Is there a reason your room is all brown, tan and ecru?

Are you averse to any other colors or are you afraid to select colors?

If a room doesn't have much color it is very important to have lots and lots of varied texture.

In your throw pillows you can have covers that are nubby knits, leather, suede, velvet, etc.

Your throw can have lots of varied texture, too, think of an Aran fisherman sweater, how much texture that has. .

The plants and flowers look nice. Your room looks comfy and welcoming, but what I notice is a lack of color and personality..things are kind of generic (on the walls). It appears you are trying to fill every wall space with something, but you don't need to. I'd take down the mirror (it's not reflecting anything) and the thing to the right of the tv. If you feel you need things there, I'd try to hang some things that would create some balance, maybe like this:

You have a great spot behind your recliners for a large piece of art or a gallery (a few larger pieces, not a bunch of small ones) wall. Not necessarily these, but an arrangement could work. But if you do something similar next to tv, then I'd do one large piece behind the recliners.

Art is so personal, these are just size suggestions; look for something you love. And it doesn't have to be a painting. It could be a small quilt or other textile to add color and texture.

These are all "wall quilts" that I found on Etsy:

Feels like you need something warm and colorful. Not sure of your taste, but what about hanging a quilt or interesting rug?

I was looking at your room some more and if it were mine, I think I'd put the TV on a console table (or hang above it) on the wall behind the recliners and rearrange the furniture. The TV is really ovesized to be over the fireplace, and that fireplace would be wonderful with a lovely piece of art over the mantel.

You have a nice, neutral room with lots of texture. Since you already have a metal object and a metal framed mirror on the walls, I would replace the metal grid/wreath above the chairs with a large, colorful piece of artwork that is meaningful to you. Maybe a landscape of a place you love that echos the greenery you have in the room. Notice how much personality in the room below comes from the artwork over the fireplace.

Since it is undersized, compared to your seating, I'm guessing the FP is electric and moveable. Is that so?

The fireplace is not electric or moveable. It is part of the home. Would changing the mantle help balance it out?

The TV is overwhelming it. Is is wood burning or gas?It should be a focal point but is competing with the window and TV. I think you should beef up the surround and mantel. If you don't have family in all those seats every day, consider removing a couple of chairs and moving the TV to the wall in question. Put it above a credenza at least 25% wider than the TV. I agree that your current wall decor is not working, but I think you should improve the arrangement some before tackling the decor.

It is gas. Thank you, I will consider placing the TV on the wall in question. One issue we run into is that the wall in question sits opposite the master bedroom and you can hear the TV when on that wall. This is how we had it set up when we first moved in. We will look to attempt this look again. Thank you for your feedback.

Maybe if you placed it on a console and didn't hang it you might not hear it as much? Or are there sound speakers that could be placed elsewhere besides on the wall? I'm not sure if those tv's have speakers built in, but I would think some bluetooth speakers by the chairs could be used after bedtime to make it quieter for the sleepers in the bedroom?

I really think your unease with the balance in the room isn't all decor but mostly the extra large tv over a much smaller fireplace. The Tv should be lower for optimum viewing, too, so that would solve that problem.

What’s great idea! Thank you for your suggestions. I really appreciate it

Thank you

I would recommend a sofa table to anchor floating sofa. The sofa table would also provide a nice view and presentation when entering the room.

From an Eastern Feng Shui perspective, I believe the wall where two chairs are would be the sofa wall. However, where your sofa is now is fine and works for the space. But since the other wall is most likely sofa wall, having two chairs there may feel a bit off. I think a smaller scaled sofa/loveseat or even a chaise might work better on that wall. I just mention this in case you have been having issues with trying to balance that wall. If it is not an issue, disregard these thoughts.

There are mounts that lower the tv for comfortable viewing, and this is a very good one. There is also a motorized option.

Another option could be putting tv on long, low console, to right of fireplace and you could alternatively hang some art or a mirror over fireplace.
