Looks great, so does your table. I think a nice big area rug and some brighter cushions on sofa, perhaps a small side table if room at end of couch

Do you have a picture of the room you are trying to make pop?

We love the table in the 3rd pic, but if you plan on keeping the mirror we would recommend removing the art work in front of it. It competes with the shape of the mirror. You could always set the accessory that is in front of it back a little and then place something smaller in it's place. We love accessories, you can never have enough!

I feel like adding a rug and some pillows would give the room a bit more softness. Maybe add something to the mantle?

I don't see a lot of colour in the space.

Weird shaped room because only one wall. i didnt want to mount the tv over fireplace or float sofa in front of tv in mid of room. the whole sofa placement is another issue. huge blank wall??? I like farmhouse and kinda eclectic mix. what should i put on wall? any ideas?

I actually like the "wrong" way of layered art on the mirror. Maybe just remove the wire cage thing? The pretty FP is blocked. :( I'd also suggest a rug under the coffee table.

Love the big clock, arched lamps. The last pic is what I copied, if you are into thrifty, here's a neat idea, I got three rubber mats, cheap as chips, spray painted them white, let dry, with light sandpaper rubbed of some of the paint to look distressed and spray painted some polystyrene on them, they look awesome and you wouldn't think they were rubber lol

You and I have same taste, I'm a real thrift buyer, love doing things up, often covering lamps, cushions, making things. My husband is always saying, what are you doing now. Lol. I do a lot of decoupage too
