I think it looks great and I think you could do a table.

I like the rug, lamps and art gallery!

my first reaction is to move the art that is surrounding the tv to the wall above the love seat. And then mount the tv on the wall a few feet above the counsel. I think this will give the room more balance. I think there is room for a small table.

I think you need one large piece above the sofa. something that won't compete w/your other artwork. Not necessarily this, but something neutral looking.

see how they did this? like that. notice the little table they have between the chairs.

you could do a little table. maybe something like this

Thank you! What do you think of the pillow color? Any opinions on painting my table frame and tv stand? I thought of antique brass for the table and our trim color (an off white) for the tv stand.

for the tv stand I would draw from one of the colors in the rug (blue, gray or lighter brown families) for the table I would spray paint with a metallic finish, maybe a gold to pull from the cool velvet chair

You like my chair? 😁 It was my moms. She died over 25 years ago. 😢 Big splurge for her ion Ethan Allen furniture she saved years for. I love it’s bones and can’t part with it. Needs to be reupholstered but it’s ok for now. The gold has come back in! 😁

i like the chair. once you're able, do get it redone in a similar velvet if you like. Or, you could do the same color as your reddish pillows.

I think the pillows are a bit blah, but the color is ok

I think you could do pillows w/a little pattern

you see how they have your reddish/orange color, but also the dark blue that goes w/your rug? w/the patterns? they all blend together

pull some of these tones/prints that go w/your rug. then throw in a few solids in the bright color

or if you like the golds

just as an example, look at how they did the pillows in this room. (and the baskets on the wall are diff.)

or this one. you don't have to do this many pillows! but look at how all the colors blend, even w/diff patterns. I like the double layer rug, the glass table, the colorful ceramic stool.

I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t love them and now I know - because they are plain. My previous pillows were patterned and I liked them much better. But they didn’t go with the new rug. And I don’t know how to choose pillows if you have a patterned rug. Thank you for your advice!

as long as the patterns all have the same tonal colors, you're fine. pick whatever colors you like in the rug, maybe that turquoise blue, the navy, and the gold or the reddish color, now pick the patterns in one of those tonal colors. do a few solids in the other color. that's how you match it.

these pillows are all diff patterns. but they all match because all of them carry the same tones (tonal colors)

then you'd pick one or 2 solids that match one of the pattern colors

It’s like a pillow picking class! thank you. 😁 I have learned so much from Design dilemma advice. I am so grateful. You should have seen what my room looked like after we painted and before I turned to Houzz.

yikes!

I love that pic with the round glass table. That’s how I want my table to look. Going to buy some spray paint this weekend!

How would you mix the colors? One coat of each?

thank you! I have bought almost all our furniture from Craigslist. Reduce reuse recycle! This is a costco set I got for less than 1/3 it’s original price. 👍🏻

I think it's looking really good. Especially your cutie dog! Like Beth's idea of balancing the art on the TV wall with a single large piece above the couch. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is the angled chair by the front door. If you don't need the extra seating, I think I'd move that elsewhere.

@amuzyczka - thank you! And yes, she’s a super cutie we adopted from China last year. we highly recommend furry smiles international rescue if you’d like to save a dog!

and yes, I don’t love that chair there either but we are a family of 6 and need it. I think I‘ve made the best of it!
