I also thought of using the wall that Karen used, but it throws the room off quite a bit. The fireplace wall is still the worst place for the TV, due to glare, not to mention aesthetics. Perhaps you could move the dining table into the kitchen (replacing the kitchen table), and then put the TV in the dining room. I personally do not like eating in the kitchen, but there is a dining table of sorts already there, and if the TV is more important than dining, the the dining room could be sacrificed. I also agree that the room is beautiful as it is and think that the TV should be placed somewhere outside this room, which is why I suggested the dining room. Another alternative, since you are remodeling, would be to close off the fireplace opening so that it is merely a stone wall, and then it would not seem like the fireplace has to be a focal point. You would have to be able to find matching stones, however. If you want to keep the fireplace, it pretty much needs to be the focal point of the room.

cozy room, and what a great window! a sofa plus two chairs sounds like a great plan. If the TV is to be on the wall-make sure is normal viewing height for all family members (since for example I know one lady who can't watch their wall mounted TV, so it leaves her out of this family activity) decide whether just a credenza beneath it would work(should be larger than TV..say, TV takes two thirds of credenza length..smth like that), or you have additional storage needs for that room-maybe books, maybe games, maybe collections..? If yes I'd think how to make all the storage concentrated, cohesive and well balanced. If your storage is going to be wood-I'd go with other material for coffee table..maybe ottoman in a case of room for comfortable lounging. I'd put a tray on it so it can be used as you wish-sitting when you need it, or table for drinks, or whatever you fancy. If you have ottoman you can forego one chair..make one of side tables a stool for example so can also be used for sitting when needed. Comfy and nice to touch pillows(don't need to be many..I usually prefer 3 for a normal sized sofa as I love odd numbers) and a throw or two. Look at it less as "decor" more " I want to indulge myself and family every time we're there". More chance to get things right if you look at them as something that can make you happy from several points of view:) I'd incorporate a table light or maybe two. and a floor lamp. So I can play with lighting per my mood, read, etc. A side table or two. The idea is everyone has some surface next to him/her when sitting down. They don't need to be big or matching, or of similar shape. Even better if you bring some different shapes, like round etc I'd bring plants too. Obviously curtains..for when you want more privacy/less light for TV watching..the rod is there for you already And last but very much not least, art of course. You probably already have some art you love. Do you have preferred style, colors you love? Patterns that you like seeing? Materials you prefer in upholstery and casegoods? Saved pictures of rooms you love? If you can share your preferences we'd be able to better help with specific suggestions My main advice is not to hurry but rather to lovingly gather. Discriminate..:) Choose only things that speak to you and to each other so to say. Congratulations on your new home!

Regarding the rug, the color is great but a touch too traditional in design. No matter what you choose, you‘ll be tied to It. If it has more colors, you can go bold or use more subdued shades when you tire of a look.

Looks wonderful, great job! Very inviting room. :)
