I am ready to decorate my front living area in my home. The room is a long room with the door to the home in the far right corner of the 3 arched windows. When you enter, our grand piano is there (that is the only place in our home it can live). I've added 4 different views of the room, from the entry view, to each of the walls and a view from the "makeshift" dining area looking back to towards the entrance. This is a very long narrow room that essentially leads into the kitchen of the home and down into the actual living room that where we spend most of our time. I'd like to create a welcoming space to sit and read, & listen to my children play the piano. I love my floors, I want to change the lighting and am not sure if I should keep the bookcases (we've already removed 2 sections as they really take up alot of space and yet 4 still remain). They really limit my seating design. The "room" as measured from the entry wall to where it meet the dining area is 26' long x 13' wide and the walls are 8' tall with the ceiling and beams higher of course. I'd like to change the wall color to just a simple white and don't know if that means I should change the color of the arched windows as well. HELP! I also have no furniture in here because I don't know what to do and this room leads right into the dining area and upon entry has a beautiful view through a large window into the backyard. I do have a Turkish rug arriving from Turkey any day now :) that's 9x13.
