What would help us most is a detailed floor plan that includes all measurements including those of windows and doors, inspiration photos, and pictures of the furniture that you have now.

To get the best advice for furniture arrangement, please post a sketch of your floor plan with dimensions. It would be helpful to know how many people live in the house so that living room seating and dining table size are suitable. As far as arranging your kitchen cabinet contents, think about zones. Your everyday dishes zone should be placed near the dishwasher so that unloading is most efficient. Baking zone items like flour, sugar, measuring cups, and mixing bowls should be placed above the counter with the best workspace. Pantry items should be located in shallow cupboards so you can see everything at a glance and nothing is hidden. This will make creating your shopping list easier. The bottom cabinets would be best for pots and pans, baking sheets, and lesser used items. It would also be helpful to browse photos of rooms that appeal to you and save them in your idea books - this will allow us to see what your preferred style is.

I think you mean 'homey',?

first off, remove all of the builder basic boob lights. I hate those things!

And that generic front door!

find some transitional flush mount lights (they're easy to hook up yourself. it's simple wiring. takes 5 mins)

a few diff styles in the kitchen

I'd lose the dark knobs on your cabinets and do something like these. It will look better.

and another option in the other room. (there are 100 diff styles you can choose from)

The door Doesn't have to be blue, but it should be something w/a few glass panels, more of a mcm type of look. I'd also change out the mini blinds to something w/color or texture.

I like this darker gray color. here's how to do a gallery wall

for the living area, you need accessories. End table, table lamp, plants, more art,

mount the tv on the wall and do a console like this below it. the warm wood tones work w/the sofa

thank you latifolia! In america, homely only means one thing. ugly. I just figured it was a typo

I wondered if someone was going to define "homely" and "homey." It does sound strange to the US ear! Take this decorating quiz to nail down your style!

Homely is the correct word I was going for. simple but cozy and comfortable. Thank you for the ideas. I will upload more pics of furniture to help give an idea.

You got some good advice above for figuring out what to store where. I have found that the biggest issue I have is having too much stuff for in my kitchen. If that is your issue (not everyone's) I found a solution. I look at each gadget in my kitchen and know why I bought it and I want to keep it. I took a day and a few bags of different sized rubber bands and put a rubber band on the handle of each pot and pan, lid, all the gadgets and around each spice container. I put a blank post it note in each serving bowl or platter and in each of my baking dishes, pans, cookie sheets, small appliances . . . (did not bother doing every cup/plate/bowl).

When I used things I removed the rubber band or post it note. In 6 months I went in and knew if this was something I used and should stay in my kitchen. I still couldn't part with everything I hadn't used, but I gave away most of it. Those things I couldn't part with I put in a storage tote with the date on the top. If I ran into a need I could rescue the item from the tote. 6 months later I took the tote (still had almost everything in it that was there 6 months earlier) and didn't even open it - just took it to a charitable re-sale store.

What Jennifer said....you have a decent sized kitchen, but you may have too much stuff. The place has lots of potential - keep posting and make some idea books as well.

Here is a revised layout for your living room area. You're not showing us the other wall so I assume there is a TV on that wall but perhaps not. More to follow.

For your foyer area, you can place a cabinet with art or a mirror above it. I'm not sure if there is room for a round entry table in the center of the area without knowing the measurements, but I have placed a chandelier that hugs the ceiling to help anchor the area. Drapes at the window for some softness.

Brittny, Your home is lovely and would love to help, but as others have requested, we need a floor plan to help you properly. It doesn't need to be fancy, a thumbnail sketch will do, as long as overall measurements of each room are indicated. Then go around the room and take all dimensions. I would be happy to do a floor plan for you. We can start from there.

Here's my best guess floor plan. Change any dimensions and post.
