Large beam mantel. More colorful rug. Different color on the walls...was thinking cream that brings out more of the pinks and oranges in the fireplace.

thanks. the walls are actually a cream (benjamin moore grant beige) its just dreary out so you cant tell in the photo. also what you cant see in the photo is on the opposite wall there is a 65 inch tv on the wall which is why the couches face that way. we would love to put a mantle on the fireplace however we had some carpenters in who said it would be almost impossible to do on the stone :-(

I agree with low country..,flip the seating to be closer to fireplace. Add color with an Aztec rug in reds yellows, browns, aqua, etc throw pillows are too tall and stiff for low, cushy sofa. Switch to lower, plumper pillows.

The greenish undertones in the current beige are emphasizing the duller colors in the stone...maybe worse in overcast days, but still always there.

I personally like that the rug is a simple rug. The style is a very comfortable look. I have a dry stacked stone fireplace similar to this and the best thing to do is drive a nail into it so you can hang a piece of art. This is going to add some great character! The set of 4 pictures in the corner are hung way too high. Add drapes, hang a floor length mirror on the wall under the white deer head. I would get rid of the fold table and get some great chairs with some soft tone-on-tone pattern. You've started out pretty great! You would be surprised what paying a designer a small fee to come and finish it out!

I like the Aztec rug and it's tones recommended by mick50
