Hi jwebb19,
While I am not sure of how the other rooms in the house look or what your color scheme and overall design style is, some ideas came to mind. Using your room layout, I went with a contemporary look and feel. Why not update the ceiling fan to match the beautiful red wood flooring and add an area rug. You get such lovely natural light so don't hide it behind drapery. My suggestion is rattan shades or natural wood blinds that should let in just the right amount of sun. Since this is an entry room where family and friends will gather, make it comfortable with matching sofas like these from Broyhill and a side chair like this one from Edith Norton. I added just a pop of color with this set of Tracy Glover lamps. I couldn't resist adding the ginger jar with brass and glass stand for some metallic interest in the room. The dark wood statement coffee table is meant to marry with the floors and ceiling fan. Cheers!
