Hi All, am looking to create a lovely living room that is bright and inspiring. My current couch color is that and I feel the carpet and curtains make it a dull space. Your suggestions and help will be appreciated.

The hue of the curtains is not appealing; instead, printed curtains with flowers or other designs should be used. Alternatively, experiment with alternative color curtains, such as a dark brown with white print combo.

I need to see the whole space and the sofa is a dull boring color so post a pic of the whole room pleae.

Here's a brown table with brown of the rug - probably softer look for curtains for you, and us, to look for.... ?

Thanks, Teresa. Could you do a quick outline drawing for us showing wall lengths and where the doors and windows are?

Are you looking to paint or is that a no? Looking for furniture/accessory ideas using what you already have?

@barncatzbarncatz Thank you soo much, I will retain the couch only for the rest I am looking for new pieces.

Yes looking to paint too but not sure which colour will go along.

Your examples are too random, not the same style. First thing, is pour over inspiration pictures of living rooms and save favourites, based on your preferred color scheme, accessories, furniture choices. Before long you’ll see a pattern and before you start adding anything, have a plan.

Keep walls, curtains and furniture light and room will feel larger.

Your coffee table and side table choices would suit the style below.

Thought look below is a good combination to tie the traditional gold mirror and modern chandelier you shkwed and I noticed your blue/gold rug choice so thought rug style below might be easier to decorate around.
