Also paint color is monument green. It's a gray green and id rather not repaint unless it's the fireplace!:)

I am not a designer, so i am really waiting to see what people thinks this room may need as i have a similar situation.

I would try to bring the drape color in to the room with some pillows. Drape the throw over the side of the couch instead of across the back of it under the piece of art. Right now it seems to accentuate that space between the windows. Anything that same drape color to put on the console to bring that piece of furniture in to the room more, too?

I think you've done a pretty good job here, but I would add a throw for the couch that picks up on all of your colors, especially that green and teal. I might swap out those dark blue pillows, they seem a little too graphic for the look of the room. Go for a couple of pillows that pick up the teal from the curtains. Is the rug in the darker picture the one you're going with? It looks like you have different rugs in the other picture.

Might try breaking up the sectional and taking the chaise part to the other side of the room. Then add a coffee table to the sofa.

Could you pull the chaise part away, even just down towards the fireplace and angle it? Then post a photo.

I think you may need a little more going on. I like the pattern and color of the drapes above. Think they would work great with your rug.

Don't think the blue and white pillows work very well on the sofa. The blue is too blue and the white too white in comparison to your rug. Look for color, but softer contrast.

There are some easy updates and I would suggest re-accessorizing table behind the couch (see picture), move your family's picture to another wall and add large graphic print(s) there instead and coordinate with pillows that work better with drapery and rug, remove the white throw and add a blue one over an arm, you could update the chandelier and I think I would paint the fireplace white and edit accessories for a more streamline look. Picture may help with how art would look and pillow coordination.

If you don't think you can venture into more pattern on the drapes, I think that they should be changed to a simple cream (think background of the rug). Their blue is just too different from the more gray blues in the rug.

Think this blue is closer. Plus, I like the banding.

Or, maybe some in that warm green from the rug...
Or, maybe I am being way too picky!

I like it just the way it is. Great job!

I think if you just replace the blue and white pillows with solid pillows the color of the drapes, it will look very nice. Also, please move the throw as abbyjean suggested.

I also think you are doing a great job!

Agree with pcmom1 that painting the brick will make a huge difference in your room. It will give you a clean, contemporary look. The red bricks are dominating the room right now-and your eye goes straight to that area.

Love your blue accents and like the way you tied in the colors through the use of an area rug. Nice start!

Thank you for all the comments thus far! This is the first time I've used this site and I love it! My space is sworn in progress but I'm excited to add a few more things. I want to whitewash the fireplace just not sure since we may not be here long term. Although it would probably update and increase the value along with painting my kitchen cabinets white. I'll post a pic soon! Thanks again!

I think it will increase the resale value!
