The accent wall near the fireplace clashes quite a bit with your fireplace and floor. Paint everything one lighter color with the ceiling a lighter shade of the wall color to bring out the warmth of the beams. A warm backdrop will highlight the art work you buy for the big wall and over the fireplace.

Yes, a very large painting in a subject and style you like would really take your living room up a notch. If you want something more representational, art in this palette would enhance your rustic style.--golds, grays, touch of orangey reds. Then add sofa pillows in textured fabrics.

Comments (6)When DH and I had our first home we had little for the walls at first. A couple of the first framed pieces of 'art' we had were a promo at the grocery store! LOL Along with about another 1/2 million people! Later the frames did come in handy for a craft. Best advice, take your time, buy only what you like, and don't ask for gifts but perhaps suggest monetary gifts or gift cards so you can choose what you like. Should you "do paintings, photos, mirrors"? Yes to all of those but there are also other things such as architectural pieces, wall shelves with personal/hobby items, fabric/tapestry hangings, and self-made art which doesn't have to take talent. Almost anything can be framed so check out your creativity for a personal original. For ideas or unique art check out etsy. By the time we had been married 10 years we had quite a lot of art/wall decor and now 40 years later I have run out of wall space and am in the process of editing so I can buy more!...See MoreHelp!

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 MoreI need help on kitchen paint and decorating ideas.
Comments (5)You want to "dress up" and Houzzers are saying "lighten up." I think you can do both. Everyone above has made valid suggestions. In addition to those, install a family friendly magnetic bulletin board somewhere so you can clear off the fridge. A cluttered fridge doesn't look dressy. When that one dies, see if a counter depth one will fit that spot. When you have the budget for it, a lighter countertop would do wonders to make the place brighter, and you could dress it in the latest trendy fashion that you like. Dress up the floor with a larger rug to fill the work area. Ruggable has washable ones at 15% off right now. How about a pretty centerpiece on the table? If that's a bistro height table, then "dressy" would mean a standard table, IMO. Bistro height is pretty casual, not really accessible for elders or toddlers, and just not a look I like....See Moreneed some help with decorating ideas
Comments (4)Ay chance of taking the black wrought iron of it? Personally I would leave it undecorated, it is a pretty piece in and of itself...See MoreRelated Professionals

Okay, so paint your accent walls near fireplace same color as your walls. Then paint ceiling a paler color of your current walls. (I still think a warm white would work best.) Think about a patterned rug in warm golds, brown, and grays. Replace coffee table with wood coffee table, up on legs, that matches the floors and beams. All these steps will pull together the room in a rustic direction.

I got rid of that lamp. I am not a fan of the gold. But here’s a few pictures to show how large they space is between the fireplace and edge of couch.
I am definitely planning on painting the accent walls the same color as the walls now.

It would be this space here. Not quite sure what to add to it. I was thinking an end table

PRO4 years agoPerhaps adding some artwork above the sectional would work. Then you could add a small end table to the one end of the sectional.

For casual cheerful with pink - add pink item. After all, the ceiling is white, and goes well with hot pink. An Ikea look I'd call it. You might not need much where tree currently is-- table though? ... try a floor lamp, or hanging lamp...

That's nice, and we remember with fondness those times. Does the small amount of burgundy paint seem to help the room? Cover the ottoman [not with burgundy though - I just happen to like this one]
