Well, what ever you do don't cover up the great view outside.

Or a smaller round coffee table. Maybe move the art over the console table. Add a rug, even consider an oval one to break up the all the rectangles in the room. And some lighting that is not overhead, a lamp on the console, and maybe a floor lamp next to the sofa.

Post a scale drawing for more ideas. I do agree that the couch seems way too small for the size of everything else including the window bench. If a large couch isn’t in the budget, consider comfy chairs instead and upholster the bench.

If keeping your coffee table, use its measurements to select a sofa of the appropriate length to balance with it. A 3-seater is best, along with a pair of upholstered armchairs. If there's only room for one chair, you have a great opportunity for upholstery in the window seat. A rug should be at least two feet wider than the sofa. Pick up on the colors in the art which should hang 5" above the sofa. Think about a brass frame on that to add some bling to the room. I don't think you need to change the wall color, but you might want to paint the backs of the bookshelves in a similar color if you can match it.

It's a cozy space with a lot of potential. There are a lot of hard, white horizontal planes: the built in bookcases, the coffee table, the small bookcase, more bookshelves in the adjacent room... Consider eliminating a few and softening others. Texture and dimension will provide a big boost - adding a cushion and pillows in the window seat, a rug, pillows and a throw on the loveseat, styling the built ins, etc.

The loveseat could work on that wall if the too large coffee table was removed. You need floor space in front of the built in cabinet and shelves for access, Add a small end table on the entry door side and a floor lamp on the other (or wall mounted lamps for reading), and a round, upholstered ottoman better proportioned to the size of the loveseat.

What is on the wall where the small bookcase is? Can you remove the small bookcase and place upholstered seating there?

Love seat could do with a smaller table or ottoman and a floor lamp placed in corner will achieve more balance. If TV is not on opposite wall, I’d move art there and look for something smaller (or a floating shelf) above love seat.

Once you address window wall (maybe paint!), accessorize shelves and add cushions and a rug, room will be transformed and cozy. Consider the room as a whole/a color scheme/layering to pull it all together (use your art for inspiration). I think a fresh warm white on walls and jewel tones accents would be lovely color scheme.

Thank you so much for the wonderful detailed suggestions! You’ve been so helpful!

Here are a few ideas

I like the scale of the sofa in that room. I also like the idea that it's not totally linear, in a room that is ALL straight lines. However,, yep, a smaller coffee table, side tables, a rug, lighting, a chair so you can have a conversation with someone.... Additional seating should be within conversation distance (i.e. not across the room, so you have to shoult, as will show up in a lot of designer-y sources).

For the same reason I like the sofa because it's not linear, consider a round coffee table.

If the room feels oppressive to you, yes, consider a lighter color. Some people consider the sage calming, so it's a personal taste thing.

Cushions for the sofa! Color, shape, texture.....

Thank you so much for your suggestions! They are wonderful! The pictures help so much!

Are you able to put the love seat on the left side facing the window? I’m wondering if it is possible to create a seating area with the love seat facing the window, coffee table between it & the bench? With cushions on the bench, that would make a cozy reading area if there is room?

I would bring pillows or plants on the bench.

I do like the white and brown aesthetic. The couch works in my opinion, both in terms of size and color. I would be wary of painting the wall white as it might be too much. I think a muted brown can do it justice!

Couch looks too small for that spot. Draw and measure the room. Walls, windows, openings, all of it. Upload your sketch as a jpeg. If you have inspo pics of what your are after in the space? Post those as well. I'm guessing, with the matched console and coffee table? You wanted Coastal..................something: )

But all things are inches. First.

That's a great view out the window. If you have a blank wall across from it I suggest a large mirror to reflect it.

You might try hanging the artwork, adding a rug, lamp, and some plants to either side of the settee. You could potentially paint the wall unit as well. Here are a few ideas for you:
