I am wanting to place a sectional but am not sure which route I should go. Or should I skip the sectional completly? TIA

Sectionals are not recommended due to their difficulty in design. Much better is a couch and one or two upholstered chairs. Plus, I wouldn't block the window with any prices of furniture because the view is often one of the most important items in a room.

Do you have any actual pictures of the room? Are you in the house yet?

What Should I Place Over Sofa

I think your house is beautiful. No need to fill it up over night. A good design evolves over time. I like the brick tones in your fireplace and think the terracotta tones would be nice for the main color in the high ticket items such as the rug. Your original prints from Haverty's are pretty but too flat I think and you do not want to go for that 'furniture store' showroom look anyway. I do not think your clock is too large, it may look it with the close up shot, but from the viewpoint of the other rooms does it look too large to you? For larger candle sconces you might need to check antique stores and consignment shops. Check on Craigslist too, look for electrical that you can pull the wires from to change to candles. Sometimes they are listed as dining room sconces. Good luck with your project! You have a beautiful home.

Sofa on long window wall will look and feel the best and make the room inviting when you walk into it from the front entry. TV on the short wall opposite the sofa; pay to have the wiring redone and move on......you cannot make the space bigger but you can make work well....PS what and where do the stairs go? Do you have an upstairs? What are the dimensions of the living/dining room and kitchen.

I would remove the blue that is there, and fill in any nail holes and repaint entire room. I dont think what is there in the blue? actually looks all that good.

Can you return it and get a smaller one? (I admit I think your fireplace wall is lovely and I personally wouldn't ruin it with a television. But I am a tiny minority who has lived without television for almost 30 years.) Is there another room in which to put it, or do you prefer to use this room for watching it?

Some questions; how many people will be using the room daily? How many guests do you want to accommodate? Do you have any style or color preferences for the rendition?

Three people will use daily but we entertain at least 5-10 people on weekends. I dont have a style preference but I would like a white or beige color.

Sorry it took me a couple of days to get started. The 3D build is in progress. Walls are going up, floors are going in, windows and doors are being installed. The build is on.

I will keep you updated as I progress.

Well hello to you. Thank you for getting back to me. I will take some screenshots and post them in a little bit.

There is modular seating in the rendition. Here is a link to the actual site. you may want to check it out. This invention is amazing. The seating can be cleaned, rearranged for everday use or repositioned for large gatherings. Here is the link: https://www.lovesac.com/sactionals.html?utm_source=RAN&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Skimlinks.com&ranMID=42678&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-z1mhnS2Mhq1j4avGtO21fw

I do have an option for you to be able to do a virtual walk through. That gives you a chance to "be" in the room and experiance what it would feel like to actually be in the room. The only draw back is that I can only send the link through an email address. This is free and I promise I only use it for rendition purposes only. I DO NOT sell nor share your email address. you can reach me at callmaeday@msn.com if you would like to do a virtual walk through. I will still post the pics in a bit. I have some things I need to take care of first. Marcie
