I kinda like your rug and your w.floor colour , but I don't like the colour of the drapes too dark maybe a lighter colour and a softer colour on walls .

I like your rug and would try to take a color out of it to change the wall color which now are a little to creamy. I would change the drapes, maybe a cool geometric print with one of the rug colors again. The big table is too big, maybe repurpose the other table when you do something with the tv. Last but not least, if the front door is over by the tv at the end of the tile, I'd put some sort of barrier (like some see through bookcase) alone that to divide the living area from the greet the visitor area.

You might want to think about switching the sofa and TV. I think a credenza type unit with doors would be a good solution for you. You may have to get a custom piece, but it would certainly hide the TV. It would be low enough so that you could still enjoy the art you have on that wall. Something like below - only with out the shelf might work.

I like your color scheme. Think about limiting the major accent color to orange. You could recover the red and yellow pillows with a terracotta and/or clay fabric. And perhaps and olive to pull from the rug. Here are a couple of examples.

Yes, I agree with Vikrant about the curtains, you need a lighter color. I would keep them in the neutral colors, that will make them blend with the walls and give the space a lighter and larger appearance. Have you try to place the larger sofa under the window instead of the small one? This will open up the space. I also think that the large sofa could use a lighter cover.

Since you believe it is too cluttered for your taste the first thing I would suggest is to remove anything you don't "need" or "love" to another room. Second, shop the rooms of your house for perhaps a chair that can be relocated to the living room. I think that because most of your room has neutrals in it except for a few throw pillows a chair with any color or fun print will work! If buying new window treatments is not an option I would suggest moving the curtain rods closer to the ceiling to really open the room up and make it appear larger. If the panels are too short I think if you have any remnant fabric or old treatments you aren't using you can add a strip of fabric at the bottom by sewing, gluing or using iron on tape. I recently bought paint drop cloths from loews for $10 in an oatmeal color to use as drapes in my bedroom and they look awesome (an option). Enjoy! I hope some of these will spur some ideas. Remember shop your other rooms to freshen your current look up!

I suggest a small sectional and one occasional chair for this space. Float the sectional and the back can help break the room up from the entry.

Have you tried putting the TV on the sofa wall and moving the sofa where the love seat is now, centered under the window, and then the loveseat over to the other end (the wall where the tv is now?) It may be too hard with your cable, but seems like you could hide the coax somehow along the baseboard, or get another cable outlet. I was thinking the sofa may look better sitting on one of the longer sides of the rug. I really like your floors and your rug. I agree your coffee table would be really sharp a darker brown. I think a light "stone" gray would be pretty on your walls. Good luck and watch your back!

I would use the only big wall in the space for a nice new entertainment piece that could house your tv and a bunch of other things...sometimes there are import or indonesian type places that have Chinese wedding cabinets that go with everything... You need to reverse the room...that one wall is your focal point. I agree a new sectional would be ideal but facing that wall and I dont think the room is big enough to have it back up to the entrance...I would have it on the opposite wall open to the entrance and have a couple chairs and a table between them facing the sectional....
I would raise up your curtains to give the room some height and I would get maybe a mirror to float the light around the room...I also think the rods could extend past the windows a bit so the curtains dont feel so dinky on the big windows...
Try not to put the furniture on the outside of the rug...place it on the rug. If you cant get new furniture I would lose the smaller couch and use the big couch and smaller chairs on either side of a table facing the couch in front of the new armoire...
I see you like red accents...maybe be bold and get a red Chinese cabinet!! Some bigger art would help too..
Good luck.

something like this might work?

Your floor is awesome! Love the broad planks and rich color. It visually supports the scale and colors of your rug and your sofa/love seat set. Coffee table is great too. I would take the suggest someone made about staining it a darker/richer color. So you basically have a very good foundation, in my opinion.

Now here's what else I notice about your room: everything else seems off scale.

The drapes look thin and lifeless. The curtain rods do little to give them visual weight. They're literally just hanging around doing nothing advantageous. They don't even do a good job of framing your windows. Sorry to be so frank. The same kinda goes for the random assortment of other items in the room--ottomans, pictures, plant, tv table.

I completely agree you need a nice chunky piece of furniture to conceal your future tv. It should be beefy (tall & wide) and prominent--something that will be at home among the big comfy furniture and wide windows. And it needs to go on the wall where your sofa is because it needs that wall to visually support it. Hint: google image "tv cabinet" and "media armoire" and you'll notice a big difference in what these are. You don't want a tv cabinet. You want an armoire!

As for the seating, by changing your drapes and rods to something more substantial, they can totally visually support your furniture if arranged perhaps diagonnally in front of the two windows to face your future media armoire.

That one plant is nice but by itself it looks sad and abandoned. How about a grouping of plants of various heights, widths, textures, etc. with some uplight maybe? Give them a purpose for being in the room. Otherwise they'll look incidental like that one plant does now.

The lamps are too thin and insignificant for your sofa set. Consider shopping around for some substantial tabletop or floor lighting--something with more depth and dimension.

Pillows. I guess they're nice but in my experience people usually end up moving them out of the way and they end up here and there, dented and dull--or stacked or piled on the floor. Sure they're great to add a punch of color or texture, but, in my opinion, when it comes to the number of pillows, less is more.

And finally, wall paint. Consider something other than cream. There's too much contrast with the floor and you want to bring the visual experience of your living room up above your eye level because it's not just a room, it's a living space. So make it livable. I'm sure you want it to be bright, cheerful, light and airy but you don't necessarily need to have white/cream walls to achieve those attributes that make a space appealing.

And if you can't make a bunch of changes at once, that's OK. Take your time, shop around, budget and acquire your pieces little by little. You can live with a work in progress knowing you'll eventually have your livable space.

You guys are incredible! Thank YOU!

Joffler - what color would you recommend for the walls? As you can see, I m a fan of warm earthy colors.

I'm going to dump the ugly ottoman and unnecessary pillows. That's very good input.

Just a couple of comments as everyone has weighed in on everything.

The photos show the wall color as a muted paler ochre, which is a nice color for your pallette, but I suspect it's really cream? Paint, but samples first and don't worry about all the color patches on your walls. It will save you a lot of disappointment to test the colors in that room, with that light, before you commit.

Definitely lighter-colored drapes, and if you're going to put the TV in an armoir on that long wall, something that will block glare as you'll get a "window reflection" in the TV screen. Perhaps a combination of solid-color roman shades and some print curtains. No tabs for the top. (Out of fashion at the moment). Gromets or just channels. The pattern shouldn't compete with the rug.

Consider floating the loveseat along the border of floor facing the passage, or if you're going to exchange it for chairs. NEVER jam your furniture against the walls. There should be at least 6" between the back of the sofa & wall. You want the curtains to move freely behind any furniture. Even if there are no curtains behind it, that stands.

The front legs of all furniture bordering the rug must be on the rug. It creates a social vignette for cozy socializing and pulls the whole thing together. Empty floor space is good; it makes a room look bigger. (And it's easier to clean.) Don't recommend a corner cabinet: have you ever tried to find something that rolled under it? Nigh impossible. Not fond of jamming large furniture between 2 windows without some space on either side. Looks crowded.

I like the coffee table with those colors and the rug and the dark floor, which anchors the room. Conisder pulling some of that aqua color out of the rug instead of orange. At the moment, without pulling colors out of the rug, it looks like an after-thought that doesn't really go, and it's a beautiful rug. The Roman shades and curtains could pick up on that aqua and the taupe color in it.

Definitely floor lamps. There are some interesting ones out there, and this gives you opportunity for uniqueness and fun. Fewer pillows. You've got good furniture, good beginnings, a well-proportioned room with great light. Enjoy. Trust your gut. Have fun!

Again, thank you. The common thread in all your comments seems to be to replace the drapes, so that's where I'll start.

Changing the drapes is good. But changing the layout should be the first thing you do. It will let you see what kind of drapes - work best. And its FREE. Do the free stuff first and see how much better you feel about the room. Then take your time in making expensive changes. Like every project you start with the foundation first. A good plan is:

1. Remove everything except the main pieces: TV, couches, coffee table rug.
2. Center rug in line with the big wall.
3. Put the TV on the big wall - use your current TV shelf
4. Set your couches at right angles with the coffee table on the corner of the rug. (not against the walls)
5. Replace your coffee table in center of couches.
6. Bring other pieces in accordance to functionality and love and set them in juxtopisition with the foundational pieces.

This is very basic outlay - but it seems it will be easiest for you to work with and go from there. Maybe when you get the furniture arranged post more pictures for ideas on TV center, drapes, artwork and accessories. (The drapes will most likely need to be changed though - and there've been some very good ideas here).

And have fun!

I meant to say the couches with the side table - in an L shape. Here's a picture (not the best but the only one I could access) with that kind of layout. Its not the greatest example but just so you can see. And depending on the size you should try to get the couches on the rug. If its too tight then back them up some until it works for you.

Couldn't get the photo to stick....

Agree with last comment - angle couches! Rug great against brown flooring - drape rods odd - make drapes look skinny - play with them to add fuller look - Cannot see sofa wall but room is missing focal point prints or objects of interest - Plant might have chance on raised plant stand and pulled out from corner - try it in different spots in room - red pillows feel rich with brown tones - more so than orange one shown here.
