Hello kimbersoo,

Several thoughts, in no particular order....

First, you might think about having slipcovers made for your entire chair. Pictures attached to explain. These could be sheer, which would add brightness and texture and interest, or could be a mini tonal pattern, which would also add brightness and texture.

Second, you might think about an area rug centered under your table to set the deep tones of the furniture apart from the floor.

Third, the drapery could actually be lower. At the moment it is not in line with anything architectural. Move it down to the top of the lower window and run it all the wall into the side walls, double or 2.5 fullness. This would make a bolder statement.

Fourth, you might think about painting again... I know... hateful, but you are unhappy. Think a different color all together... soft sage, soft blue, even off white, will provide contrast. Ben Moore Silken Pine or Coastal Fog or Elephant Tusk.

Fifth...artwork! You need something on the walls flanking the large hutch. Contemporary or stark... images below...

Sheer slipcover:


Great drapery fullness, slipcover pattern a bit large, but it provides an idea; good tonal rug:


Textural slipcovers, tonal, adds texture:

Kimbersoo - Maybe you should consider shades for window treatments. Shades can be very easily customized especially for uniquely shaped windows.

I'd like to see the draperies hung at a different spot. My first choice would be to hang them just below the crown molding. My second choice would be to hang them at the bottom of the arch. Here's an example of my first choice:

heres the deal, if you are going to hang your light fixture that high it needs to be a little more full...or grand. other wise you can drop it down a little. help bring the room back down to eye level. every thing in the room is UP...nothing to bring your attention back down.

move the drapes down to the top of the picture window, paint the bottom of that beam or doorway the same color as the walls, lower the light fixture...
