Here's a nice example of a monochromatic palette, fireplace and television on a nice console. In your space I think there is room for yet another chair and tables. Rather than a glass topped coffee table, a large upholstered round ottoman/coffee table would be a good choice with this set up and youngsters. Look at sofas with removable/washable slip covers for comfy use with family. Some color in pillows, art and lampshades would also be considered. Here's a look at a slip covered sofa from the Houzz shop: https://www.houzz.com/products/sunset-trading-horizon-slipcovered-sofa-linen-prvw-vr~32091784

So many great replies! Thanks all I have not moved in yet and do not yet know the dimensions, HOWEVER... I did some amateur image editing based on a handful of the feedback here. I removed the previous furniture in the image I added dove white paint (at 50% opacity) mentioned by jck910 to the wall (I also lightened the ceiling a bit), and I put in some furniture from pics I found online to get a feel of a different layout. I removed the mirror as suggested by FLO, and instead mounted a TV there. I also added a zebra rug, I like your example photos and curious what you would do with the wall where the previous owners had their TV Sabrina, unfortunately there is only particle board under the carpet decoenthusiaste great examples housegal200 and ILoveMod, I agree with getting rid of the harsh reds and blacks and changing the paint color to something more warm to flow with the wood Celery, I agree moving furniture to create a walkway Here is my first draft photo edit to trial ideas, I wonder how an L-shaped couch would look and what I should do with that wall... Also, I wouldn't necessarily want THAT couch, it just was angled well for the photo. Does this seem like it's on the right track? Thank you all so much ahead of time, love these replies :D

Thank you for posting those! I like the 3rd one with the navy couch. My husband wanted a navy leather sofa but I thought it was a bit too much. I worry about the cognac color being too similar to our floors, even with a rug underneath. I don't care for the colors of our floors, it all reads a too orange to mem and that the cognac is maybe too trendy? That seems to be the majority of photos on pinterest when searching for leather couches. Here is hopefully a better layout I like the color of the couch in this one with the darker teal rug and light accents with the pillows and ottoman. This is what I have saved so far, working on adding to it. Thinking maybe a wood coffee table and metal end table near the couch and the chair. I would like to center the couch in front of the fire place, an end table on the left of the couch with a lamp, and then a chair and maybe ottoman on either side of the fireplace?

I personally do not like TVs above the fireplace. I would put the TV on the wall to the right of the fireplace and get a rounded ("L" shape, more or less) seating unit that faces the fireplace and the TV wall. A sofa table behind on the side of the kitchen would create a visual barrier but be a place to put lamps. Ideally, put some outlets in the floor so cords do not run across the space. You still can put small end tables at either end of the sofa system. Whatever coffee table you buy would be somewhat dependent on the shape of the sofa, but so many things will work. You can also put a swivel base chair (club chair, recliner, whatever) in the corner of the TV wall and fireplace wall, for more conversation seating. Good luck!
