Is there any kind of way to get some light in the room, by putting in some windows. Maybe on the tv wall.

No Behind tv wall is a bedroom There is a sunroom that opens into this room though

Is the sunroom next to the clock?

Hard to believe, but I'll suggest wall treatment behind tv unit, whether painted or wallpapered - not bright color.

It also forms a background for pretty items in the cubbies.

Something like this wp -

The opening to the sunroom is beside the clock … I just have that pic and clock on the wall now because I wanted them off my floor lol

I’m looking at maiden home sectionals .. any idea what color I should go with ?

A maiden home section would look amazing in your space in any of their colours! really just depends on the feel you want..warm and cozy, clean and crisp?

I'd go with bone or mineral if you want cool and crisp and alternately, pearl or flax if you want warm and cozy.

Do you mean "lakehouse" as in a second home for vacation, or is this your primary residence? I think the colors are very dark and gloomy for a home on a lake. Can you see the lake from any of the rooms? Is the area also wooded; are there any landmarks or mountains? You should take your palette from the home's surroundings, IMO. Can you open a bit more of the clock wall so more light from the sunroom comes into the room? Try flipping the sectional to the opposite wall and tape out a larger opening that still allows for one or two chairs on the sunroom side of the room. See how that might improve this room.

This type is wider than your fp - could try a complementing accent table with.

Better, at 18" wide - over fp? and is it 1 or 2 new chairs in the corner also?

Have you considered moving your entertainment center to the wall facing the tv. Then your sectional could be turned so part of it sits where the current entertainment center is now. You could get a couple of comfy side chairs to flank the sectional.

Can’t take out anymore of the wall where the sunroom starts. I will post a better pic of that opening tomorrow. We bought this home many years ago and moved in full time after my husband retired. We lived in another state. The wall opposite from the tv is the dining area. It’s small but works for just the two of us. Love all the art pics.

You can see the lake from the sunroom opening which is beside the clock. It’s not a wooded lot and you see the lake when you look out.

Taking part of the wall out is a no. Lol. We just added the sunroom and did enlarge the opening. The opening use to lead to a porch.

FYI. I’m wanting to buy a new sectional. What color would help brighten this room? We will also restrain the hardwood And repaint. The hardwood now to me has an orange tint.

You can get samples from Maiden Home. Choose as many as you need to help in your sectional color choice. It should be something light. Also, consider painting the entertainment unit.

Pics posted where you can see the sunroom opening. Want to also restrain the hardwood floors. Should I go a light brown ?

Should I go a round mirror if I add above the gas burner ?

Match the floors to your living room color

I don't think the burner needs accent of pretty mirror, unless live-edge rustic. Doesn't seem the place for anything dressy... or do you think?

For a 'small' project to lighten, maybe the chandelier and long chain could be sprayed an antique beigey, etc.

As to burner and recliner - you could try an end table by it, that has about same measurements as the burner. It's a bit small, though a very good thing to have!

Add a floor lamp where the animal print chair is. Surely there are ottomans I could post, and others for extra seating... folding chairs, a no?

Safely? a foot or more from the burner - inside, a child's pouf seat?!

Many leave the sitting poufs out - and you could have 2 sofas instead of sectional, esp. if you have one already? [in sunroom?]

Nice color with browns.... the top turns over, and it's a tray! In a casual setting, you could have 2 different colors, among your neutral furniture. A heathered/woven poly rug would tie 3 colors together.

running out of steam...

Have you considered a rug? Could also be a natural fiber rug... maybe sisal or jute; wool blend could be softer. Or alternatively, maybe an indoor/outdoor that has that natural fiber look.

The rug I used has a different composition and has a subtle pattern w/ texture. Also, it is hard to tell from your pics whether ceiling fan is centered in the space (?)

I’m going to get a rug for sure after we get the new sectional Love the lamp !!

Everdebz, Love the green.

I like that lamp, too. It can be used with or without the metal overlay.

I could see a minimal gallery wall where the burner is. Maybe just 3 or 4 pieces. Nothing of great sentimental or monetary value - in terms of paintings - since there is heat rising there. You could also include a mirror with the art if you wanted to - since you are thinking of a mirror for that spot.

And you could alternatively create just a mirror gallery wall there.

Where is the new sectional going? Against what wall? Have you thought about putting the entertainment center on the sunroom wall and putting the heater on that wall also?

Probably will put new sectional in the same spot .. will have to see if Hearer can be moved

I know the focus is on the walls and décor, but agree with freedomplace1 a rug would make a big difference, actually could be a focal point in the room. Lake houses were meant to have braided rugs, soft, warm, natural wool - could do something fun & funky or soft and muted...

Love those rugs

Thank you!! I'm the third generation to take over our family business where we specialize in custom wool cloth braided rugs. We are actually located in the Lakes Region in NH so have a bunch of our rugs in lake homes here. There is just something about the warmth they bring to a room :)

Thank you

You liked the subtle green? then don't buy too many sectional parts, not the large ottoman. Play with your colors, and add the same in art.

I thought earlier that the clock could add 'round variety' over fp... useful table by fp/recliner would widen small fp. Could place clock and 2 small canvas art around there.

Say tv wall had subtle accenting wp - and you had 2 colors/neutral ottoman - maybe art near fp could be black/white - get a load of this canvas, personalized with your names:
