I like you leather, it works with the stone fireplace; possibly stain the mantle a dark color to coordinate with the leather and the curtains. You could possibly add a pair of lounge chairs, one in corner by TV and one opposite it on the corner of the sofa....this will allow more seating and also allow the Hubs chair to stay in place for TV viewing. Here are three rooms that might inspire you.....the room below has some interesting elements to accentuate the height; it also has a nice furniture arrangement; if you could find another leather chair to match the one you have then add a fun color chair in the corner it would look pretty stylin'....and there are a lot of accessories in this room you could apply to your room beside the art....painted ceiling, hanging chandelier, large entertainment center that helps to balance out the large wall. This is a great Pit area with a lot of seating and a simple design plan that really looks welcoming. Lots of colorful pillows and a mirror go a long way for style in this room Beautiful use of color to soften up the leather pieces in the room and simply done with curtains and again pillows and white paint for contrast and architectural style.....the small area rug really adds some punch to the room for a nominal price.....this would involve investing in a love seat that matches or coordinates with the leather....color match or contrast would work well.

No worries about our conversation yesterday. You had to feel very torn apart dealing with me, the salesperson and your husband all at the same time-lol.. My hint on narrowing down swatches that I think helps is to take two of them. And between those 2, decide which one you like the best. Once you decide on that, discard the one you don't like. Put another swatch with the one you like and discard the one you like the least. Keep doing this until you get through the swatches. If possible, I hope you will have the opportunity to look at them also at night. Other thing is what are these swatches for? Both window and fireplace chairs? And if you like the blue, don't be concerned that you have it in another room. It's in another room and personally I like to take one color, if not more, and use it in each room to tie them together- even if it is a different shade of that color or even if it is in an accessory. And even if you are anxious to get this done, don't settle if you aren't feeling any of the samples. If you love the sofa fabric, you can always get that ordered as the fabric is neutral enough and then you can look at more fabric samples or go shop other stores for the chairs. Shopping for the chairs you can always do on your own and when you have it narrowed down, then drag hubby to the store. In my livingroom, not one piece is the same brand. The kitchen I was talking about is another Houzzer kitchen I'm helping with in a new house. Though I am putting the plans together for a huge remodel and additions to my house. Though at the snail pace I'm going it may be another yr before the work begins. I'm not very motivated as the job is going to take about 8-12 months and I will have to move out. The house is 19 yrs old and I knew when I bought it 3 yrs ago that it had very good bones but would need help to realize it's full potential and beauty. And that it needed more than lipstick..

Try a chaise sofa and one chair in the TV room so you have room for kids play area. In the living room use a 3-seat sofa and two chairs grouped around a coffee table and use floor lamp flanking the sofa.
