Bev and justgottabme are on the same wavelength I am -- rearrange the furniture and get a rug that pulls in the colors in your art. I would try to get rid of the three small media pieces and look for a single larger entertainment piece or grouping. The smaller pieces (esp the smaller on and the TV stand) are too small for the scale of the leather pieces. Having three units creates a more cluttered look and feel when you want furnished and functional. They say the resale shops and craigslist see a lot of armoires and entertainment units -- go look for one that is anything but black and be willing to paint anything that is black or dark wood. If you paint, again, pull out one of the colors from the art. IKEA eould be another possibility. If you look for an ottoman or coffee table, I'd look for metal and glass or color. Color can be paint or fabric -- a print or solid color ottoamn. Replacing light fixtures is farily easy and need not be expensive, but I'd get your furniture placement and other things settled first so you know what height and other considerations need to be made. And add at least one or two lamps. Then you can decide whether you want toss pillows or a throw. For me, that kind of sofa doesn't call for toss pillows. A throw might be nice to have in the room. After you rearrange, If you have blank walls, go to Marshalls, Home Goods, Pier 1, World Market, resale shops and look for mirrors, framed or wrapped art -- bring in some light metallics or repeat or compliment the colors in the larger art piece you already have. Resist the temptation to try the decals. Florals and butterflies aren't going to play well with that leather. Your best bet is going to be looking for a modern, transitional to somewhat eclectic mix, even some MCM or arts and crafts -- those simpler lines to balance the heavier feel of your leather pieces but with enough strength and structure that they still hold up to them too. Does that make sense? It's almost go bold or go home -- and the butterflies and florals aren't bold. Tree trunks could provice a backdrop. A graphic that suggests wallpaper (saw a crysanthymum that was like a medallion repeat), a cityscape, -- there are possibilities -- just not the viney floral and butterfly.

Great question! While our light sizing guide doesn't cover this exact scenario, it does mention the idea of using two chandeliers to light a long dining table. In that case, we recommend choosing a chandelier that is one third of the table's width instead of table's width minus 12. Perhaps we can adapt this advice for use in your family room. Your room is 21'x16'. Our standard ambient-chandelier advice suggests adding those numbers together and then looking for a chandelier that is that width/diameter, or 37 in your case. Maybe instead of doing that, you could look for two chandeliers that are about 25 inches in diameter (1/3 of 37 is 12, so 37-12=25). Then, each chandelier can be hung in its 'half' of the family room. The standard hanging height for a chandelier in ambient use is 7 feet above the floor. Of course, you can adjust this hanging height as needed, perhaps hang the chandeliers a bit higher, so as not to obstruct the TV. I hope this helps!

You could build a niche in the wall to recess the TV. When we renovated our master bath we recessed a large medicine cabinet with an integrated electrical outlet. Seems you could do that here too. It isn't complicated. Painting the wall a dark colour will make the TV "disappear" and will accentuate the sconces. This will work whether or not you use a shelf and/or recessed niche. http://blog.sanus.com/why-your-tv-wall-is-practically-made-for-the-dark-wall-trend

Here's a revised layout. Your room, because of the odd size, is all about furniture scale. All of the seating should be low back and not over sized or "puffy". Think a more tailored design with a down dacron wrap cushion with a lush fabric. With a sectional not more than 9'-0" , you will have plenty of space on either side for walk thru. Consider the new Sunbrella or Perennials high performance fabrics for all of the upholstery, these fabrics are wonderful for a family room and indestructible. I have tested them out for a client with catsup and clean up was a dream! Also a smaller scaled sofa facing the fireplace/tv with a console behind, slightly protruding into the dining space to visually create a wider room. That's a low interesting bench in front of the fireplace. Everyone on here always thinks I put too much furniture in a space. I am used to designing NYC apartments where space is at a premium and entertaining is key. This a room for an invitation to relax, read, play games and enjoy your family. Hope this will inspire you!
