Place sofa across from tv/fireplace, and add two chairs in front of window.

Help me decorate my new home COLORS!
Comments (5)I've seen green used very nicely in the Fall PB catalog on trim. Maybe it was BM Brookside Moss. Very pretty color. My favorite is BM Baby Turtle - looks like it was plucked from nature as it has a lot of brown (I used it on my walls). I clipped a layout in a magazine from yrs. ago where the walls were a pretty warm white & the trim was done in BM Dill Pickle. Looked gorgeous! Green sets off wood tones so beautifully! Personally I'd go w/ darker ceiling fans but that's just my opinion....See Moreno decor skills, need help choosing new furnishings and layout
Comments (15)I would go monochromatic. A rug the color of the walls, furniture a shade darker and NO gallery wall. Your floors and window trim is very busy and I would keep everything else in the room simple. Tables the same color as the shelving. If it were me I would find a local interior designer (not one at a furniture store as they are there to sell that store's furniture) to help you. Usually they will do a consultation for an hourly rate, that in the long run will save you money from purchasing mistakes. There seems to be a problem with how the trim is hung over the dining area windows. It looks to be sitting above the window rather than on it like in the living area....See MorePlease help me decorating my new house sitting area in kitchen.
Comments (5)The first thing I would recommend is that you educate yourself in the different decor styles. You have several going on here. 1. Put in top search box (one at a time) transitional, contemporary, modern, etc. Have a plan before you begin. 2. Get a narrow three hole binder and include the following categories: stores, budget, ideas, etc. Get loose leaf paper, and plastic top loading pockets. 3. I would put a huge wall decor piece over the couch. Window treatments - same color as the walls. Get from your local artist or art.com. Only get a print and get it framed locally. Rug - make sure it goes under the entire seating area - and more. Lighting - a table lamp or wall sconce in each corner at chest height. You can have pattern, and pick one small print and one large print that goes together. 4. Look at your decor styles from #1. for ideas. Measure twice, buy once....See MoreHow to decorate a new home using my current decor and furnishings
Comments (23)I copied the photo of your rug to my photo program and sampled the colors in it. I then compared those colors with paint colors from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. The light gold of the background most closely matches SW 6374 Torchlight. The light brown was similar to BM's 2166-20 Caramel Latte. The green matched SW 7729 Edamame, and SW 2806 Rookwood Brown is similar to a taupe in the rug. Neither the coral or the dark red have any matches, and they would overwhelm a room in any event. What looked blue in the rug sampled as gray. These colors in your rug are muted by the small areas they occupy. They are more saturated when viewed by themselves. Below are approximate samples of the above colors. You should first of all check out these colors on the manufacturer's website in their virtual paint. Here is Benjamin Moore and here is Sherwin-Williams. Remember that you can choose a lighter version of these colors. For instance, SW 7726 Lemon Verbena is a lighter version of Edamame, and SW 6373 Harvester is a lighter version of Torchlight. Once you have narrowed the choices you should buy samples and paint on poster board. You can then set the poster boards against the walls you want to paint to see how the colors work. This is the only way to see if you like the colors enough to live with them. Otherwise you would be better off choosing neutrals....See MoreRelated Professionals

Thanks for the reply but I've just checked and with the TV to the left side of the fireplace I will struggle with seating and it is opposite the stairs .
Hope that's a better picture thanks got your help so far . Only alternative is to have the TV to the right which is a narrower wall or ontop of the fireplace
