2 years agoCan't really tell your style or color preferences based on what you are showing in photo. Your rug would go well with either traditional styling or a more contemporary style. Do you live near stores that you could browse in to get an idea of what you would like? Also, what is the budget? Personally, I would go more traditional and add drapes, a couch, two chairs and coffee table or an ottoman. Also it looks like you need some lighting.

Comments (14)I think so many people buy the big brown puffy leather sofas because they are perceived as practical (wears well, doesn’t stain) and comfy (because so padded). People are also advised to buy their big pieces, like sofas, in neutral colors because supposedly you get bored with colorful pieces before too long. Personally, I bought a pink sofa, but that is neither here nor there. What I would do to make the big furniture less overwhelming is see if all chairs/recliners can go elsewhere for now, until you have a bigger place. If you need more seating for guests, maybe a couple small scale slipper chairs. These can be bought pretty cheaply. Then start bringing in colorful items. I would get a rug, not something neutral at all, but bright. The curtains and art you have now just repeats and emphasizes the brown furniture. Maybe something like this. Overstock has a good selection of rugs that are pretty cheap- many well under $300 for an 8x10 (which is the size I’m guessing you need, but it should be big enough the furniture is at least half way on it.) But, in any case, something that will be the star of the room. I like an oriental style with brown furniture, but there are also pretty abstract styles that could work. But get something that you love. I can’t emphasize this enough. Not something that will be practical or will “work well” or you think the kids won’t ruin. Something that is amazing. There are so many beautiful rug options for cheap these days there’s no excuse for a bland boring rug. Replace those drab curtains with something colorful like this that will go with whatever rug you pick. Again, these are available pretty cheap from Overstock. Or Amazon. Add some colorful cushions for the sofa and you’ll have come a long way in having the furniture not overwhelm the room. But think the most important thing is to get some of the furniture out of there. There are just too many big pieces....See MoreWhat color throw pillows for red, green and gold couch.
Comments (98)Thank you BAC717! The rug is probably my most favorite item in this room and honestly I never would have even purchased it if it were not for the help of my fellow Houzzers. I do not have a good eye for decorating, and these guys have really helped me see the possibilities. We've been in our house for 7 years and this room has always been a struggle. it just seemed gloomy and blah! To me, the room has so much more character now and it's more "me". My 2 posters came in the mail this week. I'm going try to get them framed and hung this weekend. We are still undecided on a paint color. Someone recommended BM Natural cream, which I like; however, because I want to use the same color throughout the entire first level, I have to make sure the wall color works with the kitchen cabinet color (BM Dove White), which has grey undertones. I'll check out the color you recommended also. I have a bunch of paint sample cards but no real contenders yet. Good luck with your room. Let me know when you post and I'll check it out....See MoreBuying a couch - what shape & how to fix this apt layout
Comments (1)So here’s what I came up with. If you get a divider bookcase you can visually separate the office area from the family room. Move your bookcases to the dining room. Consider a bookcase with file cabinets in the bottom next to the tv. For the tv cabinet consider more of a credenza style for more office storage. I was able to fit a sofa with chaise but it will have to be a short one. Then you can have the adjustable coffee table for the laptop. I’m showing the desk against the wall, but for Zoom meetings you may want to consider a folding screen. When not in use, you could keep it at the end of the divider bookcase. (You can always have your cable outlet moved btw)....See More

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoYou may want to figure out a few things, as advice at this point will be so varied and may really become confusing. For example, this is what I would lean towards so as to work with your rug; but not be even close to your needs and style.
It‘s important for you to think about seating requirements, ie: noticed the recliner and is that something you want? Would a sectional or varied seating be better for your family/how do you use room; is leather, or light or darker fabrics a preference.
What style do you gravitate towards and have you looked at inspiration pictures to help.
Have you tried to do an on line room planner, so you can play around with types of seating/placement to scale. Will really help in choosing appropriately sized pieces. Does your budget include seating only or will you be purchasing tables (a coffee table would be a great addition).
Defining a bit more will allow others to provide relevant ideas/links to sites/feedback, etc . Hope this helps.
