Need recommendations for lighting and coffee table
Refreshing our sitting room. We have a great travel gallery wall that’s my pride and joy (dismiss the missing piece- dealing with an unruly nail at the moment!), and just picked up some leather stools for overflow seating. I am stuck on coffee table and overhead lighting, floor lamp or a new table lamp options. Don’t want anything to compete with the gallery wall but also don’t want anything bland! Any help would be appreciated!

Or non-hard wired sconces on both sides that can be pushed toward your photo wall when not reading. Make sure lamp can take bright enough reading bulbs.

An acrylic or glass coffee table with wood base matching floor and chair legs would allow some of your lovely rug to show through and takes up little visual space, keeping your room airy. Any coffee table should not be too deep since you have a small space. Also get an oval or rectangular table so it's reachable from all seating.

Coffee table recommendations for this space?
Comments (10)Like your rug, too. It could go well with a coffee table with wood. The gray one suggested by Beverly would work well in your space, too, especially if you choose a metal and glass coffee table. I always like the idea of having windows with a view that you can see because you don't need curtains or blinds for privacy. Looks as if you may have a courtyard and/or garden outside your window. You might consider adding color to the room via sun catchers -- something that both adds your favorite color and personal interests, especially if you're not needing/planning to add window coverings for privacy. There is a good selection on line in a variety of sizes and shapes and subjects....See MoreWhat style of light fixture would you hang over the coffee table?
Comments (62)@Jodie Teeters, @Gargamel, @IdaClaire Thanks! My kid helped me install it today. When he was a toddler we had huge, ott birthday parties with tons of balloons. He has outgrown those now, thank God, but I told him we can still be reminded of those days because it looks like a big bundle of balloons floating in the air. Next up is clearing everything off the piano and adding a tall lamp....See MoreAny recommendations on a style of coffee table for this space?
Comments (24)My husband loves that mirror and I agree it probably needs to be in our dining room instead, I'm trying to figure out a happy medium. I'm just now diving into a tiny bit of contemporary design. Our home is structurally Mediterranean, so it's been a slight challenge. I appreciate the feedback!...See MoreNeed end table recommendations

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoDecide how you want room to feel and then choosing pieces is easier. Ideas below for example are more earthy. The stools are a bit off size wise, so I‘d try to find a table that pulls them in style wise, so they don’t look as awkward.
If you don’t mind me saying, and I know it probably took you a long time, but a tighter rectangle may feel more balanced. By not extending as far on the sides you could add a floor lamp behind one chair for better reading.

And a 2 or 3 light floor lamp for each chair might be the ticket. You can adjust and turn them to make the lighting good for the wall and for reading.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoThis would have been the right time to consider picture ledges for your gallery wall. Gallery walls at best are difficult to pull off and not look like 52 Card Pickup.
Have you stopped traveling??? If not this is where the picture ledge really makes sense because you can keep adding and adjusting to provide a rhythm to the assembly.
Also painting the back wall would have linked all your elements together.
Your console table with the hair pin legs is dwarfed in scale by the lounge chairs. A more substantial console would have been a better choice.
I love the stools in the foreground but cannot imagine some adult perching on them.I would use white track lights to highlight your Travel Wall
Select a round coffee table that complements the finish of the console table.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoGoing to suggest that you move one of the camp stools to under the console, put the other stool between the chair and the window and place a tray on so it can be used for table. Buy 2 of these chairs
