Whatever you do please you need color!!!!! Your furniture is a dark brown/black color. Your kitchen is brown and black. Your floor is brown, Think about a gorgeous Oriental rug in your favorite colors and go from there. I also endorse Patricia Colwell suggests. Good luck!

Either a vertical rectangular piece, or a nice floor plant that comes up to at least the height of the bottom of the TV. The space doesn't need much. I would have instead just centered the TV on the wall and not added anything else.

Here’s the layout and room measurements ☺️

Hi Pamela. These houzz discussions are quick with people offering various opinions. They often miss critical steps. The things I get from my clients from the beginning are (and I spend quite a bit of time on this) 1) Inspirational photos (based on comments you have made and your ideabooks, you are not interested in traditional decor, but what exactly, I am guessing). So, for your sake and others, photos of what you like and want the room to look like are critical, None has to be exact, just the direction 2) If you want future flexibility. If so, I'd buy neutral for larger items like a rug. 3) Photos of entire room 4) Measurements. 5) Functionality: how you want the room to function. Example: rarely used, used often and must accomodate x amount of people, etc. So, I cannot tell you if that rug is appropriate for your room, as I don't know the answers to those questions. It seems to ignore the recliners, though. 2 things I am observing: the recliners are large and brown and don't seem to fit your future direction (although could be pulled in with the right additional elements). The pool table light fixture the same: very traditional and you are trying to fit it in. Hope that helps.
