I like how you have it! The wood/ sofa is a nice combo. What color do you like, what color is the ottoman? Might this simple look complement the bordered rug? is it blue-gray?

the wood accent wall is a challenge for me. at first i did not like it and wanted to paint in white. however the painter recommended not to touch it as it will not give a smooth finish anyway bec of the texture of the wood.

thank you for sending the recommendations. will definitely look into getting it.

You could have whimsy, and have interesting, visible arc [if placed opposite of this photo- toward tv's walk by].

Does it vibe with Saarinen table?

I realize my question: do you love dining set and modern console vibe / or the wood's stain color?

I just now read your post - if it doesn't thrill you, could use a brown rug, with Davison's modern lines - this to me ignores rustic wall, but acknowledges it by repeating the brown in some way.

so youre saying my current rug should be replaced by Davison area rug? that rug is sold out unfortunately

Your apartment already looks great! I'd keep the sofa on the wood wall and lower the TV. Try the side table on the opposite side of the sofa, which should leave a little more space by the window for a plant. Also think about a narrower cabinet for under the TV. Pull the dining table out and away from the wall. If you typically only need 1-2 chairs, move the extra chairs to the bedroom. Bring the chairs out for extra seating when your friends are over. A tall floor lamp in between your sofa and dining table might be useful (I can't tell from the picture if there's a light above the table). Mirror placed above the temperature control? Floating shelf under the mirror. I'd place a large piece of artwork on the wall opposite the dining table, and definitely get the keyboard!

No no.... you've done fine. I can't tell what the rug really looks like, but the squared edging is subtle and "classic," a kind of complement to nearby vase's 'texture' what's the word... :)

I post in case you find that it helps with your ideas, or possibly that you love the particular item.

thank you Kickschick! your inputs are helpful! i have additional questions on your comments-

- Bestbuy installed my tv. im not handyman so not able to lower my tv. :(

- side table - you mean my ottoman?

- there is a light that i temporarily put and still looking for a light fixtures

- mirror - so it will be beside my tv??

Hi Catherine, here's clarification:

- side table: the table which has a purse on it in the picture, close to the dining table.

- mirror: on the wall opposite the kitchen, in between the 2 doors (which I assume are the front closet and a bathroom). Not sure if you're looking for a big mirror to make the room appear larger or a mirror to check before you go out the door. :) I assumed the latter.

To brighten a room, hang a mirror where the wall is the brightest. People make the mistake of hanging a mirror in a dark corner to brighten it, but it can't reflect the light it doesn't get.

Here's Walmart's 1 or 2- semi-bright art on the empty wall near entry... blue console nice near white dining - casual wood frame, to echo wood wall:

Hi partim, where would i put the mirror then? my exposure is north so i dont get much light

Thank you Beverly for the suggestions. will take a note of them

Here's an idea to add seating for guests. I notice your dining chairs are not all alike, there are two different sets. Perhaps you could replace two of these chairs with two dining chairs with arms. Armchairs are so much more comfortable and they could serve double duty as extra living room chairs when needed.

I love the wooden wall! I think you’ll like a longer storage ottoman and smaller ottomans that can be used as extra seating when guests come. Blue color would go with your rug, ivory is more neutral. These are $163 on Wayfair for a set.

Love the wall and don’t hang art until couch is moved a bit. Could also add something over dining rable to help define that area/coordinate. Head to Ikea if you like the idea of a gallery wall (which will soften the expanse of wood). Pick up different sized/color fames and go on line for inserts or buy preframed.

Suggest removing side table and adding a plant in corner by window. I’d remove the white vase and put a floor lamp there, as low lighting is needed.

TV height is fine, just accessorize the ledge.

I’d remove the red accents and look to create a more organic, earthy feel. You could add a pouff as the coffee table, which could be used for additional seating when needed.

Can keyboard go in bedroom and that's the wall I would place a mirror to enlarge that area visually and will help define as a hallway.

Thank you everyone! your inputs and comments are very helpful!

You've been given lots of very nice decorating ideas. Here are some of them and more in a visual. If you don't get a keyboard for the wall opposite your dining area, you can get a console, open as shown or can be with door for storage. You need more contrast to make the room look brighter so I suggest you bring in some white accessories a a little black.

I think you would have room for 2 armchairs of about 25 inches to give you additional seating for your guests. Small ottomans would also give you extra seating when needed.

I re-read your initial post about lack of seating. True you want comfort for visitors, but does it work to have an ottoman and white dining chairs? :( :)

New day... in a way I don't favor your rug. If you like your Picasso-esque pillow, maybe this would go well ... and be almost brown like wall. Modern like tables you have.

Supposed to post as rectangular rug - yellow is more like color pillow you have -

If you want, post a close up of your rug. Don't think the room isn't a challenge - it would be for very many. ;)

I would *NOT* put any holes in that wood wall - it's not like sheetrock that you can just spackle/sand/paint if the hole is in the wrong place, or years later you decide to rearrange the art/switch it for a different size.

I would hang from the ceiling, like this, but using the most unobtrusive hardware you can find.
