great advice upthread I'll try to be short, probably repeating several people: -get rid of the white console next to the fireplace/look for smth else instead if you need it there for function -think of other window treatments. curtains? woven blinds? roman shades? any of these will look better. move your sectional a bit from the wall, both to allow room for window treatments and because furniture generally needs at least couple inches to breathe..that wil also make room seem larger -you already purchased the ottoman in the same color and style of the sofa..off white, right? well something different would be better, but it's okay..buy a throw, fold it and put there to break your lines a bit. tray is great too-both for function and beauty. you'll appreciate it when watching this TV -I liked reading how your wife gets her art:) okay..so if there's no real room for other suggestions(I'm also prejudiced against mass produced canvas art..maybe she can be talked into a print instead?..)..put that art there first. Make sure it fits-seems huge?.. Say you go for that a very similar art, you have there-a bit of white, black, brown, indigo blue, fiery yellow white and brown you already have in your room (btw like your furniture) pull your other colors (in pillows and throws and accessories) from that art -deep sophisticated blues, golds. can be metallic accessories (like vases or flower pots?), can be softest fur pillows can be velvet, can be knitted throw. everythhing you buy-make sure it's a different texture..leather is sleek you've got enough of it. Speaking from experience-I also have my fair share of leather:) then look for a big ticket items like curtains and a rug. (or simultaneously..just keep your general scheme in mind). you can decide to make them fairly neutral. repeat the color of the furniture, just different material of course. or go for one vivid deep color but make it a shag rag for example. Don't try to match pattern to art..art has a mind of its own. Look at the room as a whole..what does it ask for? and know yourself of course..say I love many rugs but I don't like to clean them lol. You know whether it's high traffic area, what your habits are, and whether you'll be sad for 5 min if the rug will have spots and then get over it, or will be sad for 5 days. when you buy a side table try, again, to introduce another texture, just different material in this case. maybe wood. maybe ceramics(garden stool?some of these look really modern). every new material you bring creates dimension. Dimension is something you look for when creating spaces. Why? well that what we've used to. Ouside always has it. Even when it's a desert or an ocean. It has depth. we need to recreate it with all sort of ways and means that are availiable to us.. Good luck! will be a cool room edited because of thousand typos..))

Thank you everyone for your advice. @BeverlyFLADeziner What makes this living room a playroom? I don't like the accordion blinds. If I had to choose between accordion blinds or no curtains, I would go with not having curtains. @d_gw It's a radiator on the left side. @kulrn we tried to arrange the living room furniture in different angles; however, given the room size and the open kitchen, this is the best way to arrange the furnitures. @

Hi I just found this while searching white goods, I could not resist taking a peek AND I don't have time :) I am a past interior decorator and Artist. I know there is a lot of deco Art but I was just wondering if you can not do a search on local artists through FB. Amazingly you can get some wonderful Art from local emerging artists that is very inexpensive. I am a terrible Art snob as far as I just so dislike Deco Art. I believe rooms can come alive with a real work that is of your taste and has substance and character. Art can work with a room and not be similar. Buying Art for your room may take you some time but it is such a fun experience where you go to showings or visit studios and chat to the Artist. only my point of view :) now back to searching Tappanyaki's . By the way the other advice has been very good just not my opinion.

You have only posted one image, but I would suggest the room would look better with the sofa on one of the long walls, maybe under the picture on the wall with the TV in the corner?? That's not really the best chandelier for this room.
