The crown molding looks fabulous. great idea. I love the color!

I love the shiney white coffee table but it looks like it is too big. And it needs to be closer to the sofa. Maybe it is the angle of the picture, but it looks like you can’t reach the coffee table if you are sitting on the couch.

I agree, the coffee table looks like it's just "there" - floating.

I'm not crazy about the frame for the artwork over the sofa - but if you like it that's what counts.

A pop of another color would be nice.

I love blue but think you have too much going on here. Maybe bring in hints of an orangy/rust color in pillows etc. These two are supposed to compliment each other according to the color wheel. Agree with previous comments about the coffee table.

Yes you’re all right about the coffee table. It’s a least a few inches too wide for the space and the wide angle of the photo makes it look even worse. I’m not home now but will try to take some better pictures when I get back.

I originally wanted to incorporate some green patterns into the design but once I used the floral fabric for the Roman shades, and then the pillows, I just kind of didn’t know how. Maybe I could use a cream and sage ticking stripe or block print?

Shirlpp, I like the painting but I agree about the frame. It’s too heavy and ornate. I don’t want to incur the cost for a new custom frame so what kind of art do you suggest I look for?

Lovely room, maybe a little too much matchy elements. Love the wall color & the roman shades. The wall color is really close to the sectional color so I think you need some separation. Possibly a throw thrown over the back under the art. Not stark white but maybe the lineny background color of the roman shades. Maybe bring in some green pillows (not sure I'd go rust/orange in this room). A large live plant on the coffee table (which I agree is too large) and a plant on the console table.

So pretty! I would style the coffee table with books, candle, pretty bowl etc.

It's very pretty and such a refreshing change from the gray, gray, gray and neutral spaces that seem to proliferate here! I do like Bev's suggestions.

You’ve really transformed the room, great job. Love that blue velvet.

I think a brass coffee table lighter in feel would look fab.

If a new coffee table isn't in future, perhaps along the lines of Jilly's brass suggestion, you could add a very large brass tray to the one you have, just to break up the starkness of all that white.

I would work on your coffee table display, by maybe incorporating splashes of gold like in the frame and lampshades, along with a few ginger jars like these...

Wow - great job! I agree with Jilly about the brass coffee table (and I love the ornate gold frame).

Thank you all for your suggestions! You gave me a lot to think about.

Beverly, that light fixture is beautiful! I think the picture I posted made the proportions look different than they are in real life. The room is pretty small and the ceiling is only 8’.

Jilly, I love the idea of a brass and glass coffee table and your inspiration pics were really helpful. At this point I’m not able to have such delicate furniture as I have young kids that climb on the coffee table regularly.

Olychick, I like the idea of a brass tray as a fix to break up all the white. I’m also looking to buy some coffee table books to add some depth.

Elisheva, I totally understand!

The second one I posted is actually metal and marble … Overstock.

I’m not suggesting it specifically, as I think it might be too small and too lightweight, but there might be something like it out there that is heavier than the brass and glass types. Something that would give the illusion of a lighter feel in a smallish room.

An ottoman might be an option, too, and possibly relocate the long one under the console? And with a brass tray as Oly suggested.

I, for one, LOVE the gilded frame on the picture above your couch. It adds an elegant touch to your room.

I think you did a great job, and once you style the coffee table it will be even better!

Just wanted to play around to see what it might look like with changing the pillows & light (9" high X 17" wide) and painting the coffee table.

@Elisheva - maybe something like this.

Wow, you did an i credible job and on a shoe string too. Congrats. Great coffee table for kids to sit at. Once it is stlyes the room will really sing. I see nothing wrong with all blues, the gold frame is great, and you did a fantastic job balancing the painimt, lights lights, and window on that wall.

Thanks again to everyone who commented. Receiving feedback has really helped me understand and defend each of my choices (to myself) for the room. One of the reasons I chose a small fixture is because there is an oversized one in my dining room right next to it.

Bravo for defending your choices. The space is perfection. Just start living in it and having fun.

I love your room ( lifelong blue fan here). The only thing that does seem off is the coffee table, but after reading your situation, I'm thinking brass or wood tray and a tchotchke or tow on it would work well. I also thought the blue and green pillow shared above by jck is nice and light.

You really did a great job.

I think you did great! I love the gilded framed art, and the coffee table. Gosh, I’d throw some huge bright colored pillows under the table for kids or guests to pull out and sit on, put some big legos or things to do on that table in a big round wicker or tin tray. But, I have grandkids.

I would do a round coffee table, it would fit better in your space.

Congratulations on totally transforming your room. At first, I didn't recognize it as the same room (last photo made it look bigger), and I had to go back and reread to see if the blue room was an inspiration photo for you! I agree about the coffee table (too large, too white), but as a grandma who watches our 2 y.o. grandson at least 2x/week, I would probably keep it for play (as you have young kids) until they get a bit older. I replaced our wooden coffee table with a glass one several years ago; I do not let the little guy into the formal LR, as he is a climber! I also really like the frame and painting above the sofa; you mentioned you like traditional, and the gold really looks great with your blue walls. A dramatic and comfortable looking room!

I agree 100%! You've done so well! And what a great table for young children! How old are they? (As my sons got older, a square coffee table was great for family games, too.) One of my roles as an early childhood specialist was to design common spaces in preschools. Books were corraled in trays along with something to be manipulated. (Legos, for example, as suggested by Donna Ward.) Containers can be selected and arranged using design principles for appreciation by children and adults alike. The use of trays and baskets makes it all easy to switch for more adult items when wanted. Wish I had photos to share.
