Hi. This room has a lot of potential and you have some neutral-toned pieces to work with.

You might get a myriad of suggestions. But, I won't make a recommendation until I know what your design goals are and I can see the rest of the room. Otherwise, I am just guessing.

Would you mind:

1) take a photo of all 4 walls of the room.

2) Post a photo or at least describe what you want your room to look like.

Right now, I would describe it as "traditional". Thanks so much.

I had an inspection done, the plumbing and electrical are all up to date, thank God. There is no HVAC but I am going to see how this summer goes before I decide to install it through the house. I live in Virginia and the summers are hot but being up in the Blue Ridge keeps some of the humidity at bay. The windows are original and there are exterior aluminum storm windows covering them. I am hoping and praying that they are sufficient to keep the house from being windy inside. I think the cafe curtains and tension rods will work perfectly while I get settled. I was not planning on working on the exterior of the home right away but it looks like the porch roof will need to be replaced and all of the windows and trim around the exterior need to be painted. The 115 year old wood is exposed. The previous owners did NOTHING in the way of maintenance. The walls have been scribbled and written on by their children, they didn't bother to paint over it. So it has been at least 13 years since any exterior wood has been painted.

It looks like maybe you are not in the US? BM Edgecomb gray is a light warm gray that should look good with your tile and plays well with others if you have access to it.

Something like this, maybe? I hope the plan is to scale; with these large sofas, inches matter! I used the 90-inch sofa length but didn't know its depth or the dimensions of the chairs, so those are guesses (40 inches for sofa depth, 36x36 for chairs). I found the bookcase online so used its actual dimensions (lower right corner of plan). Guests enter the main seating area (assuming the upper right is the entry), with the sofa L facing them. (You can still sit across from guests by using the chairs and the sofa opposite them.) I chose a nesting coffee table that can be pulled out when needed to serve a crowd. The traffic lane from entry to dining room is now outside of the conversation area, leading past an art wall. The fireplace corner is for one-on-one conversation and for reading, with lamps (a table lamp on the sofa console and a floor lamp behind the other chair), the bookcase, and an ottoman to put your feet up. You could add small tables between the chairs and the windows to hold your refreshments. And here's a rendering: I used a subtle metallic silver (paper or paint) on the ceiling for the depth that the softly reflective surface gives. The ceiling then looks less flat and lid-like. The wall color is one of the lighter stone colors from the fireplace, used on the beam as well as the walls, and I did add crown molding to both walls and beam. This shows a darker floor because the dramatic sofas seemed to need its contrast, but I realize that I'm looking at one room only, not the rest of the house that I assume will get the same flooring. I did use large art, because to my eyes that scale holds its own better with the large, assertive sofas, but you could do a gallery wall somewhere if you prefer (just make sure the total arrangement is large enough). I used an antique arched window frame between the windows (echoing the curved backs of the white chairs) because I like the contrast a touch of age adds to a contemporary room. The rug is a soft abstract in neutrals and gray/blue. For the fireplace area, if the stone can be matched, running it to the ceiling would also help the room to feel taller. The ottoman between the two tufted chairs is shown in a neutral in the plan, but it might need to repeat the deep blue for color balance in the room. Or you could bring in the blue in a smaller rug (5x7?) under the chairs, set at the fireplace angle. Choose one that plays well with the larger rug. Ideas to consider, anyway; it will be a beautiful room!

Right off the bat I would say a larger square ottoman/coffee table would work well. I would not paint the mirror--but I would find a different spot for it. I would hate sitting where my reflection is cast all over a room.

A larger tufted ottoman or two might look good.

You need something large. Coffee tables are supposed to be about 12 inches from seating. I would go with square first, easiest to style. Then my second preference is round, no sharp corners to hit against.

Pull your sofa about a foot away from the windows. Jan Moyers' first round gold nesting coffee table would then be reachable from both sofas. Plus the gold finish would echo the beautiful mirror, which should absolutely not be painted. There, done.

IMO a large square table to balance the large seating might work best.

Like I said, the seating is very large and the table cannot be undersized.

You can also place 4 smaller tables together to form one large one if you require the flexibility of moving them.

Hi. Thanks for the photos. First, let's make sure you have the right floor plan.

What is the purpose of the room? Watch tv? Other?

Why is the love seat instead of the sofa facing the tv?

How are you liking the height of the tv?

Would you prefer the love seat or sofa face the window?

Would you consider the tv on the large wall?

How often is that door to the left of the fireplace used?

Your updated arrangement looks very nice. I agree with Beverly that you need a large square coffee table or nested version to service the two sofas. A small whimsical table between the two chairs would make sense. Coming together nicely!

Much better!

How often is that door to the left of fireplace used? Would you consider

1) Moving the 2 chairs to the left side of fireplace and single chair angled at right side of fireplace

2) Leaving as is, but removing the single chair?

3) Removing single chair and placing 2 new chairs angled on each side of fireplace.

The door on the left is the master bedroom. So we use it all the time.

Okay. I would remove the chair from the left side. You might consider a bench on that left side that goes to the master (or nothing).

Is the sofa centered on the fireplace?

Too much squares in room. I would go with the round tabletop to soften hard-edged furniture.

This one provides light and air movement but speaks softly - no dark blades or exposed bulbs.

Yes, I would definitely move that mirror. I like the idea of a plant.

Get your floor plan set first, though.

I'd want more comfort and function with less formal 'looks' priority. Remove the pieces in favor of a 4 seat sofa with chaise on the window wall with a large square matching upholstered ottoman for expanded chaise-like use when viewing the tv. Tv relocated from the fireplace to the wall opposite the window wall. HÄRLANDA IKEA
