Here are a few layout options. Its a large room, so having all the furniture pushed against the walls makes it feel barren and isn't cozy. The left option would be best for a reading room. Put a standing lamp behind the chair in the corner next to the fireplace. Use a cozy tufted ottoman with a tray instead of a coffee table to optimize comfort and seating options. Depending on your lifestyle, you can put a low bookshelf behind the couch with a wood dresser as a liquor cabinet against the wall, or put a decorative console table behind the couch with tall bookshelves against the wall. Or you could do a settee / backless bench on the wall instead of the chair/furniture combo. Personally I don't like how they have the chair blocking the built in, but if you need more seating you could put a small movable wood armed chair in that corner. My first suggestion for the bay window area was a variety of plants, but since you don't like them I would recommend a built in. If a built in is over your head, you could do a Hope chest with some cushions on it. On the right is a more visitor focused layout. Matching loveseats should go across from each other with a chair in the corner and a couch in the same place it is now. The couch and chair should each have their own ottomans so that you don't end up with a weird floating coffee table in the middle like they have now. Put some small side tables around all the other furniture to anchor them and use a large rug so that it goes halfway under each piece of furniture.

It’s great that you like color. You have a really nice space. I think you know your style and what you would like to see in the room. When you say all you want to keep is the red pot/vase - maybe that is all the console needs. Your view out the window looks like it’s very nice. And the red vase is striking by itself, so with just that piece, your view would also be a clearer focal point. I love the horse piece, and am thinking maybe that piece should take center stage in another spot.

Hi HU, I agree that better lighting would be the top priority here. In addition to replacing the boob light fixture, there are some companies that will cut a hole in your door and add a glass insert, much less expensive than if you had to replace the whole unit. Your hallway is not that wide, so you might want to avoid furniture unless it is really needed, maybe just a narrow bench with space for boots underneath. You could then put art in the two niches (I wouldn't use mirrors because there is nothing for them to reflect). It depends on your style, but something with heavy texture like a wall hanging would warm up all the smooth surfaces in this room. Good luck, and I think it will look much better when you have moved in and there is something in the adjoining rooms for the eye to travel to.

I think that maybe moving your art down a few inches would look best… Love it so far though!
