You have a nice room and I like the new rug. I would put some art over the fireplace. The metal sculpture and the small mantle decor are definitely not jazzy.

Your room is very neutral, I would add some color with sofa pillows. Or if you're going to a more layered look, add some texture and some greenery.

Do you plan on a coffee table? A little decor on the coffee table can also add texture or color.

IMO, the floors look fine. I would spend the money and energy on your decor.

Thank you so much @Desert Design for your feeback, I desparately need new coffee table with minor storage. I cant seem to find the one I love. Mantel deco I am lost, I tried many AI generators sites but no luck. your comments are very helpful.

my rug is 9X12 .. thank you this is helpful but need help finding perfect coffee table

@Celery. Visualization, Rendering images these suggestions sound so good but need some visual to choose the right pattern/color palette. too many options out there and I get lost

Start by centering rug on fireplace.

The room is too linear. Your tv wants a beatiful credenza or console table or even a large ottoman underneath it. I would put the rug a bit under the sofa. Add some side chairs opposite the fireplace to make it cozier.

Color should be the easiest. Your room is neutral so you can do just about anything. What's your favorite color?

Do you have a Home Goods or similar store near you? If you are a visual person you may just have to buy some things and use trial and error. Keep the receipts!

Great rug choice. What kind of storage do you need in a coffee table? I would like to see a glass or acrylic one here so it doesn't obstruct the too much of the rug - especially where the lines meet in the middle, which is a cool focal point. Your space looks large now but is going to feel small fast once you get the right furniture in place. A glass coffee table sort of disappears and takes up less visual space in a small room. Can you get a glass coffee table and put some kind of storage unit under the TV instead? I'd lower the TV a bit too. It is really high.

Don't know if this type is too modern for you but I like how much it disappears.

Center the rug on fireplace. Pull the sofa out from the wall by 8 - 12 ". The corner chair is pretty odd. Do you use it? Do you plan on keeping it? How many people use this room usually and is it just for TV? Does anyone sit there for conversation?

Put one thing above the fireplace. What is up there now is a pretty good size, it just doesn't stand out much. Hard to recommend artwork not knowing your taste or style, or what the other side of this room looks like - is it a kitchen?

I too think your floors look fine as they are.

Yes the rug should be centered on the FP!

@Kendrah thank you so much, OMG I love this coffee table, exactly my thoughts I didnt want to cover the rug. I do like the idea of getting storage under the TV. Can you recommend something? just to store labtop and remotes. The corner chair can go. I can get all new pcs for mantel as well. open to all actual pieces reco. thank you

Not sure if you dismantled the room to get the rug in but it will be easier to help on a coffee table if we had a photo of the room with the furniture on the rug and any extraneous furniture/clutter cleared out -

@la_la Girl will get that once I get home from work.

I would move the rug over. Pull the furniture off the wall. Put something under the tv - a storage unit, pull apart ottomans for additional seating etc. I would also paint.

Then add in some plants, colorful pillows and artwork. Do everything one step at a time. That way you won't over do it and over spend.

Good luck

This is a layout Design Dilemma and not that hard to fix budgetwise. Here's a list of suggestions already made:

--Center Rug on fireplace

--Create a walkway behind the sofa by moving it onto the rug. Bonus: This is going to let in a lot of light.

--Move big chair near window forward and tilt it toward the sofa to help create a conversational grouping.

--Get a long console table or cabinet for under the TV the side of the niche it's in. It looks bad floating there.

--Look for a great art work for over fireplace in this palette.

--To thank everyone for their suggestions, move that sofa forward, chair forward and tilted toward sofa, and current coffee table for now. Now take a photo and post it. You should see the improvement immediately and doesn't cost a thing.

I 100% agree with @housegal200. Furniture needs to be off the walls and in a conversational pattern (see the posted layouts from Celery). Consider two colors for pillows since you are starting out with a wonderfully neutral room. Pink & red? Orange & yellow? Blue & green? If there is an AtHome store nearby, go look at pillows but bring photos of the room (after the furniture is on the rug). Buy whatever moves you and looks good together.

Great rug choice!

A simple wall mounted set of drawers or shelves under your TV might do the trick without adding too much visual distraction. Click through this example to see pictures of it staged underneath a TV. Looks much more appealing than this empty pic!

The space above your fireplace does not have a lot of breathing room and the whole wall has a feel of three rectangles crunched together. I'd try to find a piece that breaks that up somehow and relates to your spectacular rug. A round mirror with slender frame could look great but I suspect that it would just reflect the kitchen, which might be kind of odd.

I'd caution against artwork that is busy or has too much movement. I like this piece from Etsy but realize it may not at all be your taste.

First, you must center the rug to the fireplace.

Add a console for the t v...good wall to add peelable wallpaper, coffee table, two accent chairs, and get, at least, front legs of all furniture on the rug.

First suggestion is to declutter as much as possible including removing the office chair. That should give you a clearer picture of what you have and give you a blank canvas to begin a new design.

I would get rid of everything except the rug. I made a 3d rendering of your room and here are some affordable items shown in the image
