This chart should help with selecting tables and perhaps new lamps for a real update.

I would never give up these beautiful and elegant end tables. I wish I could have them.

deco, can you please suggest some lamps and tables? The solid brass lamp I'd like to keep because it is Stiffel. The couch arms are 24" high and the current end tables are 22". In the stores I mostly see furniture that is very modern. I'm going to be looking at consignments shops and on craigslist for the tables. Thank you Tania for your nice comment. (Portugal is too far for me to send them to you). I have had them for 22 years and want a change.

Anymore suggestions?

Have you considered letting the striped one in the center go?

Nearly clueless, I don't understand what you mean? The stripe couch perhaps?

Instead of changing out the tables, I'd suggest a light-coloured area rug so the existing tables won't blend into the floor. The rug would brighten the space.

Hatetoshop, thank you for your suggestion. The floors are only a year old so I don't want to cover up most of the wood with an area rug just yet. Would a small light color rug, just under the coffee table, work or look to small? My DR furniture is lighter than the LR so the floor is a better contrast in there. I thought getting lighter tables would help. I didn't think of a rug. The room is 15x13'. How about a 4x6' rug just under the coffee table?

can you move the sofa off the wall ?

No, don't get the small rug. Believe it or not, your hardwood floors will be highlighted by a light-coloured rug (of appropriate size). So, in effect, you will not be hiding the beautiful hardwood, you will be drawing people's attention to it by the contrast. Buy a rug (that is returnable), and check it out on your floors. Best of luck!

mary, the sofa is about 4" away from the wall. The room isn't very wide.

Hi! Here are a few ideas for you:

Hope this helps you!

I agree wholeheartedly that an area rug will give the room a big lift and enhance your beautiful wood floors. Keep it simple--perhaps a solid-color rug with some elegant lines to it. Make it lighter, but in the same jewel-like colors you are already using. If you want to change your lamp tables (and I think you should), don't be afraid to buy different kinds of tables for either side of the couch. They don't have to match. Maybe a glass-topped table for one end and and a painted table for the other side. It will also be easier to find them at consignment shops. My only other suggestion is that you perhaps consider changing the lacy lampshade, which looks out of place in that room (move the lampshade and/or the lamp to your bedroom and choose another lamp with a simpler shade).

Those are very beautiful tables i must say :)
If you need a change then also change the lamps and the pillows on your sofa .

I have 2 of these Haggar Pottery lamps from the 80's. How does this look? I know the lamp shade isn't right. I'll be getting the proper size lamp shade for it.

those are pretty I am sure the correct lamp shade will be nice

I come back with a photo on arrangement in similar end tables. Best regards.

It seems I can't submit a photo. Sorry.

Ok, I got it. Here you have nice shadows for lamps similar to yours.

I purchased 2 new lamp shades and 2 smaller harps to go on my existing lamps. Also put the beaded lamp back into the guest bedroom and put the Stiffel lamp on the round table. Does it look better?

I decided to keep the 2 end tables. I'll look for a glass top/brass coffee table and a rug as Houzzers suggested. Thanks!

I think keeping the end tables is fine. They are nice. Have you just tried removing the coffee table all together? It's not for everyone, but I find sometimes it works for a narrow space. If you do replace the coffee table I would go with something a little larger, the current one looks too small to me. I would also replace the teal pillows on the couch with either navy to pick up the chairs or cream to pick up your new lamps. HTH
