Thanks for your comments, I'll address them individually below: decoenthusiaste: Every day it's just me and my husband. TBH, we don't use the LR a lot on weekdays because we're really busy. I use the side part by the bookcases or catlandia for yoga at night. Sometimes we watch a little TV at night. We entertain a little, but usually no more than than 6-8 people total. Most often when we entertain it's another couple over with us. The fireplace is wood burning, and requires work and tending, and you really can't get super close to it because it gets very hot. We love it though, but only use it about 6 months per year. I suppose the tv is more of the focus than the fireplace in some ways. I don't love the bookcases either, and we plan to replace them at some point. We set the room up the way we did because I feel like having a sofa that's parallel to the closets creates a hallway of sorts, and sets the room up better than this big space that needs more anchoring. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but the previous owners had it set up the way you described and I really hated the way it looked and felt. it made that left side of the room feel scrunched up against like that 1/3 of the room and made the rest of the space feel weird. because of where the fireplace is, almost in front of the front door, it makes it an awkward space to gather in front of. but I could be completely wrong here and I want to keep an open mind before we purchase anything, which is why I'm here! Also, side note, my husband is extremely particular about leather and only wants a leather sofa, and very specific kinds of leather, but is willing to compromise on side chairs with fabric.

Help me with ideas on what kind of accent chairs to buy. Fabric or leather ? And what colors can I mix and match ?

You’re welcome, Rogerc! I absolutely agree with you re: the quality of West Elm. Full disclosure: I found this chair by google imaging “eames inspired chair.” So you could always go with the classic Eames Lounge Chair. Although they are ubiquitous to the point of being cliché in Palm Springs, so perhaps you are looking for something a bit different. Good luck in your search and please have a delicious brekkie at Cheeky’s for me :)

@tracefloyd I was thinking a nice bold piece of abstract art in between the windows to the left like this one https://www.amazon.com/Uttermost-41918-Tides-Abstract-Art/dp/B07D2K56GD/ref=asc_df_B07D2K56GD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=632526167024&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15252250543002732405&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003697&hvtargid=pla-1953888281237&psc=1  I might possibly want to add a desk under the piece of wall art in between those windows
