Dont by sets of anything, I would get two swivel chairs, im wondering why you need two sofas?

Also why the sofa cannot be centered to the room at least?

I would consider some sort of built ins on the fireplace wall to house the tv etc.

Before you get too deep into this, I suggest you take warning from the posted dilemma. Ship times and manufacturing delays are outrageous these days. Don't be too proud to shop second hand; at least you can take items home and not wait for a year to have them.

Well, I think it's fine to buy sets. That sofa is gorgeous and I'm sure the leather chair would be great with the sofa. A couple accent chairs to go with the set would be fantastic. I do think a lighter paint color would really brighten up the space but I am not sure I would do anything with your paneling. It is beautiful. Maybe try SW Snowbound or Alabaster for the walls.

Oh yay, comments . Thank y’all!
Keep them coming bc I’m more confused than ever (& fear spending money & then not needing/liking or regretting what was purchased . 😂

Everyone that lives & stays here wants something to prop feet on, whether ottoman -or table; or, they want to pull legs up on sofa or lie down. I will not get any more new furniture for a long time - so I’m trying to keep all that in mind- family comfort but also looks ok .
Therefore: 1: get one fabric coordinating swivel chair for by fireplace ; matching leather mid size sofa , matching leather chair since I have the ottoman I feel like it needs chair
Or

2. two matching leather swivels that can share the ottoman- and a white with gray FABRIC mid-size sofa or loveseat by windows.

3. don’t get second sofa or loveseat at all . (Just get three chairs. Bigger chair could be by windows & two closer to the kitchen . )

   As far as the wood walls - Im just wanting to brighten as we do not get much sunlight.

   Also- I don’t mind that the wood color has different streaks of dark & light on some -it’s just that a few of the boards have these big & “odd “ shaped darken color & they really stick out -it drives me nuts.
   I Thought about leaving wall “as is “going up the stairs if I do paint rest?
   SW Mindful grey is wall color above chair rail . I’ve never liked it with the wood.
   However , I was leaning toward Alabaster for the poplar wood on walls.
   Should I paint kitchen cabinets alabaster ? Or light gray ?
   Thanks again - any opinions are greatly appreciated !!

I bought the leather ottoman - it needs a matching chair- (doesn’t have to be club , anything comfortable. )

I

People tend to gravitate toward couch around here - therefore, I thought another mid -size sofa for the couch “loungers “ would be nice.
The off center sofa is something I’m playing with (based on dynamics of how I’ve observed my family to be ). I’m trying to experiment with a “ TV area section “ for tv watchers - then have two chairs closer to kitchen for two people to talk .( if uninterested in tv ). I’ve noticed there’s always two just chatting - so not as annoying to tv watchers since they are all grouped closer together by tv end . However, also in view of tv . Does that make sense ?
Family is in different states so stay here when in town- & stay congregated in same room --by the kitchen - watching tv -but a couple always in conversation .
My old sofa was centered but also 10 inches shorter. With coffee table & the old chair ottoman -I didn’t like the pathway to get to kitchen or squeezing by ottoman etc.
I have had two wingbacks on window end turned slightly toward each other . I do think two swivels on that end would work better if I don’t get a second sofa. I could center big sofa in front of FP - but would then only have room for one more chair by fireplace , (I think , ) with my longer sofa .
I’ll try it again centered and take pic for you decorating peeps to see. Thank you very much !! 😊

I feel like that current sofa in front of windows looks crammed in there. So, 73” sofa seems too large. I think a single club chair and ottoman. And scotch the new sofa closer to kitchen a bit. SB makes a small loveseat in the 366 style that may work there if you want option for 2 seats. I don’t know if you can add nailhead trim to it. I don’t think you need worry too much about lead time. I ordered in September from SB and received in January which was great considering

I waited about the same for mine. Smith brothers has their own trucks so a bit faster.
They do make a matching loveseat in the 395. It’s only 63inches.
The matching chair instead of the loveseat at least solves that ottoman issue. Thank you so much . It will be a few days before I can re-arrange & center sofa.

Ok, so this is the leather sofa centered in front of fireplace- ( pulled old sofa inward)-
All furniture seen will be replaced except for leather sofa & ottoman. Still trying to figure out an arrangement before buying coordinating /matching pieces. Ideas now?
I need at least one leather matching chair for the ottoman- other than that open to what else ? 3 chairs no extra sofa ?

( removed coffee table bc with sofa centered - that extra deep club chair /ottoman won’t fit . )

The paneling height is splitting the room in half and is distracting. I would cut it down to "30 off the floor or paint it out to match the wall...right now it looks off kilter.

Here's the thing, I think you should paint the room before you buy anything else and decide on some other factors. built-ins, TV spot, large wood cabinet in the corner. I think the room is disjointed right now and its hard to see a vision just based on the room itself. These things alone could change how the furniture works in the space

I think your room looks too crowded with furniture right now. I would not purchase an additional sofa. Two matching chairs would look nice.

I would also paint the paneling (not whitewash) and also the trimwork.

I agree with Amanda on the furniture. It look crowded now.

I don't think the room is too crowded I just think you have everything pulled in too close together. I would move the TV to the left side of FP on a wider console. 2 chairs with table between where white sofa is now. A smaller scale chair to match the ottoman where the chair and ottoman are now pulled back somewhat. The FP is odd looking: angled? Is that soot on it? Are you open to simplifying it? The rug is going to drive you crazy unless you can anchor it so that it doesn't wrinkle up at the slightest movement. What is on the wall behind the sofa?

Look for chairs with lively upholstery.

I haven't read every comment, and definitely not a pro, but it seems to me the leather chair and ottoman is a better fit if it were next to the fireplace. 
Perhaps recliners are a good replacement for the old sofa area. Recliners that look like furniture, not the overstuffed kind. I like the ottoman stow away factor.

Thank you all so much. I like idea of painting wall & paneling all white? Maybe Alabaster?
Thank you for the pics jck910 - the bottom is a fav style of mine.
Lisa T, I wanted help initially on what new furniture to purchase- but Ive been all over the place bc so much needs to be done. That is a great spot for the chair/ottoman. Thank you .
Fireplace mantle coming down & stoning around. Definitely going to do something different for tv stand .
I did move kitchen island in toward kitchen to pull club chair back ; & pushed “old” sofa back toward windows- ( & straightened rug 😂) There’s about 30 inches of space each side of old 75 in. sofa now. Im still trying to get me a 65-73 inch loveseat in that spot . It’s my favorite spot to lounge. 😩 Thanks for all your time & suggestions -I have to rearrange in spurts - people are always in den - will update soon hopefully.

Ok helpful Houzz decorators, Walls are now painted white! ( decided against trim painting for now).
Any help in following areas much appreciated !!

1. Tips for arranging furniture… ??? ( fyi I had to have visual on the swivels- so bought these cheap on marketplace for now but print gray /white is what I had in mind .)

#2. Color of end tables/ & a new coffee table ( need a smaller square or round coffee table ) should all match ? wood stain or a color white black gray ?

Should I paint or gray wash fireplace for now to look better … ( until we decide stone it, ?)
Painters finishing so took pics w/o rug & decor .. easier to slide around furniture. I do want a leaner look , but house I’d call rustic farmhouse ?

I wouldnt paint the mantel, you can probably remove it in one piece and sell it as an antique/vintage piece. let someone else paint it.

I see the OG brick surround behind the FP, I would just get back to that its already rustic and weathered, it will work with the theme. I think step one would be to get the bulky surround removed.

That little black table is nightstand from bedroom -I had swivels on each side (pulled out - a bit) just seeing what it looked like .
Should I even use black ? I’ve shoved different pieces in here to see ..
We’re having company stay with us in two weeks , so probably gonna have to make do with what I have due to time .. These pics are some things I have on hand .. feel free to say .. move this it that .( window pain had wreath on it - fell apart - that’s why hooks are on it - need to get new one .

this clock matches lamp, should I hang on that wall above or too small ? I did have it over mantle - window pane above that black table .

This black cabinet was where antique mill bend is at now . I can move it to dining room .. These are wedding photos of daughter , the one window pain with 4 pics I will replace photos of my new grandbaby ;).
A friend of mine with a really nice house does not portraits of kids in her downstairs at all .. is this a decorator no no ?

No do not brick to the ceiling. Get the surround off and put a mantel. let the wall above the wainscot be a wall. Urgg... she knows that mantel is worth something, as do I but that was nice of you maybe she will throw you a price break lol. You just need to get it off. and I would think now before the painters finish, perhaps they can patch and touch up. I think the glory will be the simplistic feel of it honestly. I like the décor you have going and I think until you get to the balance of the furniture and fireplace I would leave it for now.

(MAYBE ASK THE PAINTER/DECO LADY IF SHE CAN GET IT OFF THE WALL AS PART OF THE GIFTING PROCESS)

I think a recliner that swivels would be a good fit for you, Im not sold on matching but if you like it do it!

PS your wedding photos are adorable.

I asked paint consultant if she knew anyone that could take it down . Great idea !
Wow again! I didn’t even think to have no stone & no surround . I absolutely LOVE how that looks! ( guess that is some fancy very cool software you have there?) . Thank you so very much for all of your wonderful ideas ! Appreciated!!

Paint the fire a charcoal or a light gray whatever you prefer

I'd I like a sofa and two chairs and the coffee table could be by the couch I don't mind the loveseat

its just the paint program on windows lol.
