PRO3 years agoReally ??? IMo you need 2 end tables by the sofa and 2 good sized lamps to serve whatever purpose you have in mind. IE reading or just for another layer of lighting. As for between the 2 chairs another lamp or a floor lamp with a table attached to give another layer of light. BTW the drapes do not look full enough to close and IMO even of you never close them they need to be full enough to allow that .

I appreciate the feedback so far and look forward to more suggestions! I agree that I'll need a lamp for both ends of the sofa. I'll replace the current panels with a fuller set. Would any of these lamps look good in the room?
in the room?

Comments (7)Justgotabme, my husband thinks the table is too "interesting." LOL! I like it, but think maybe the scale is off with the tall narrow table and the kind of tall lamp and then the big chair and tall ceilings. So I was trying to figure out if it's the table or the lamp--hence my thought that maybe I should get a larger width table and table lamp. But then I wonder if a larger table and table lamp is going to look crowded and squat next to the TV? I thought about your idea moving the rug. I don't think I can as the sectional backs a wall of cabinets (not visible in the pics). The entry way into the room is between the sectional and couch. That is why the recliner is over too the side. The rug wouldn't be large enough to encompass the sectional and recliner. And there is not enough room with the cabinets to angle it. The pics def make it look like your idea would be better....See MorePlease help me put this family room together!(pics)
Comments (5)You have a very pretty room with a lot of potential. I really like the color and the natural light. I think the piano could be a beautiful focal point. Will it fit between the windows? If so, move the piano between the two windows and put the collage frame over the piano. Move the sofa in front of the window wall and the large blue chair perpendicular to it with the back facing the edge of the wood floor. Then put the ottoman in front of the sofa and chair as a coffee table. Put the entertainment cabinet on the large wall with the wood chair in the corner near the window and the leather chair about where is currently is. I would also move some of the accessories from the top of the entertainment cabinet to the top of the piano - maybe the red vase and a basket. I think the basket table is too light feeling for the other furniture. If it needs to stay in the room, I would move it to the far side of the sofa so it is not as visible from the room's entry point but it will still be functional as an end table. I would also suggest breaking up the pillows. Keep three on the sofa and put one on each chair. If you can't move the tv, I would still recommend the same arrangement but swap the recommended tv and piano positions. For future furniture purchases, I like the idea of a sofa and two chairs also. It will give you a lot of flexibility to have different arrangements. I really like your windows and blinds. I would suggest putting blinds on the quad window too to cut down on glare as you watch tv and to give the windows a more cohesive look....See MoreFamily Room: Need rug and coffee table suggestions
Comments (20)Hi Jck910! I think the rugs you suggested are beautiful. I like the middle one the most. I think the others are not quite my taste. However, I am very curious to see if it meshes well with the taupe sofas and blue accent chairs....See MoreNeed help choosing family room table lamp, decor, window treatments

I was planning to use these prints and frames - 2 on each side of the fireplace. It will bring in a lot of blue, so I planned to go more neutral with the lamp bases. Your thoughts?
PRO3 years agoSee the illustration below for heights you should strive to achieve. You could select a glass or ceramic table lamp for the end table with a fabric shade in WHITE so it doesn't clash with your drapery panels.
For this smaller table, I anticipate you will mount something on the wall. For that reason I would recommend a slender buffet type lamp
