Try the sofa under the window, and the loveseat where the sofa is, flanked by the two chairs.

The sofa cannot go under the window because it pushes the arrangement to far into the kitchen and away from the fireplace.

Instead of the chairs on either side of the fireplace, move the loveseat closer to the fireplace, move the sofa to its right a little and have the two chairs face the love seat.

I would replace the tan piece with the same size chair to match the blue couch and keep the two chairs as accents.

Or you could get two of the same chairs in a coordinating fabric instead of the loveseat. Place two chairs where the loveseat is and two chairs opposite.

Oh interesting, I guess keeping the loveseat size in the navy color is a good option too. Thanks for all the layout suggestions, however most won't work. It's hard to explain, but walking in to the house you face the room as you see it. Then there's a walkway right before the navy couch to the kitchen area. So nothing can go near the front side of the navy sofa because that's a walkway!

Kristin, where are your chairs from? Love them! This is similar to the color scheme I am going for in my new home.

Thanks! They are from a local furniture store, but they are by Smith Brothers. Find a local store that carries them and they should have that fabric and a million more to chose from :)

I looked and looked at the photos in your foyer dilemma, and can't help but think that area is part of the great room with your fireplace placement. Could you include a photo from the kitchen looking at the fireplace wall and one from the love seat looking toward the entrance? Dimensions would be wonderful to help place furniture, too.

I don't think it looks that far off. Put the navy pillows on the loveseat, get a rug with both beige and navy in it and get a round coffee table. Family and friends aren't secret design spies who will come in and judge your furniture, and besides, your furniture is awesome!

Here are the pics looking from the kitchen and also looking out toward the entrance from the loveseat. Sorry I don't have dimensions handy at the moment. Also sorry for the bad lighting

No, you'll never find two navy sofas that are the same color of navy. The second one is too close in style and color to the first but just off enough to look all wrong.

If you need two sofas then have them face each other and put the chairs facing the fireplace. This works best when the sofas are the same. Not almost the same like the second navy sofa you show. That's not going to work.

Consider a glass top coffee table to lighten the look of the room.

Have you tried switching the sofa and loveseat placement? It seems you may not be entirely happy with the arrangement.

The right rug could go a long way to bring the room into focus and drapes, too.

I like the look of your room......even with the beige love seat...You probably need another color love seat but since you can't or probably can't match the blue, how about white or the grey (whatever the background color of your chairs). Get sofa pillows to carry though your color scheme. I think a glass topped coffee table with a cozy rug will make your room nice.

Just throwing in another idea but could you just keep the two chairs, ditch the tan loveseat and then get two ottomans that you could place in front of the fireplace for additional seating but it doesnt block the view or make it seem closed in. Move the couch under the window, move the seats where the couch is. Put the table with the lamp in between the two chairs and then put an ottoman coffee table in between. This would give you an additional 2 seats and also allow you to scale back when you dont have company. Im thinking something like this http://www.amazon.com/Simpli-Home-Rectangular-Storage-Ottoman/dp/B010C79MIQ/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1454441162&sr=8-34-spons&keywords=coffee+table+with+4+storage+ottomans&psc=1

You've got great furniture! You just have to *own* the beige and navy (a classic) color combo and spread the navy to the beige, and vice versa, with the pillows, etc, then add the next layer to the room with accessories and art. Lots of green plants will bring more life to the room, and bolder art over the fireplace.

I like that the furniture does not match. i would add a large rug. then place the navy pillows on the tan sofa and the pillows from the chairs on the navy sofa. after looking at the photos i think the rug would make a huge difference.. to me a room looks unfinished without a rug if you have hardwood floors. if there is room behind the sofa a table there would look nice instead of looking at the back. i love your furniture btw!

I'm no design expert but I love the tan sofa as is. I agree with the suggestion to add navy pillows to the tan sofa and tan pillows to navy sofa. I think a rug will tie all the colors together. I really love your space and how it looks. Even with the tan sofa! :-)

A rug like one of these

Thanks everyone. As I said before, unfortunately the two sofas can't be across from each other without blocking the walkway. I initially had the navy sofa in front of the windows, but in order to have a chair next to it, only the loveseat would fit and stay centered with the windows. I can easily get a second navy sofa or loveseat that would match. It would be the same company using the same fabric, so I'm not worried about the navy's not being the same. Just wondering what everyone thinks about the mismatched look!

Oh and of course I will have a rug and window treatments. I found a rug and I'm currently working on having draperies made. I do agree with spreading the pillows around. I have beige, navy and ones with the chair print (paisley??). I've ordered two more of the chair print pillows as well. The beige on the sofa can actually be found in the pattern of the chairs. It's why we initially went that route but now I'm having second thoughts on two mismatched sofas and wondering if they both should have been navy (or both beige)?!

Deep six the love seat and the coffee table. Snuggle up those two chairs to the couch, add a round glass top coffee table, a stunning, generous rug, and it's magic in my eyes.

What do you mean deep six? :) sorry I'm not good at the terminology. A lot of you seem to be saying round glass table. I kinda wish I went the round route (I wanted to but the furniture girl talked me out of it). Not sure about glass though (have a baby and lots of little kids always at the house)!

Well fix the pillows and snap a pic for us, please.

Here it is with the pillows spread around and a rug I scored for super cheap at the pottery barn outlet the other day. I've got two more of the "paisley" pattern pillows on order. Those I'll just put on the chairs with the same pattern.

That's looks so good now! I can't believe you are second guessing yourself on this. At least give yourself a chance to finish this room. You need some things on the table and some curtains, a couple plants and you are set.

Here are some cute rooms. personality!

Thank you Terry. I second guess myself on EVERYTHING to do with this house. It's horrible lol. I think I tend to second guess the things I wasn't sure about to begin with. For example, I wasn't crazy about the idea of mixing the two sofa colors to begin with. Then I liked them when they were delivered, and now I'm back to second guessing. I'm working with a seamstress on draperies now so I really hope that will help pull everything together. :)

No to the love seat. No matching chair or sofa. Put the two wing chairs in front of the window where the love seat is . Get two new matching chairs ( lower backs with wood frame for variety) put them side by side facing the window. Gives seating for the same number of people but with options.

Like the rug, need drapes. I know you know that.

Carolyn that's an interesting alternative I hadn't thought of before. I think I'll try it out with some chairs I have at the house to see how it looks.

That looks great Kristin! classic combination & just needing some drapes to frame the windows & the love seat. One more item which could double for seating is a round ottoman (no legs?) in the beige/grey/navy at the entrance side of the rug.

For parties you could do something like this.

Kristin

I've always liked your room with the tan loveseat. Maybe another set of matching chairs would look nice but I think you have a lovely room as is. Be sure to share the outcome. Love your space.

Thanks! :) I'm looking at drapery fabric the color of the wall/loveseat. I think it will help frame it. I'm debating between 4 panels (one between each window) or 2 panels.

Thank you cramps :) I will definitely share pictures as the room continues to come together!

Oh that looks fantastic! The rug balances it out, and spreading around the pillow love makes a big difference!

Have you chosen the fabric for the draperies you're having made yet?

Thank you! I'm leaning towards this fabric. Debating between 2 and 4 simple panels on a long continuous rod above all 3 windows. I think I'll also add honeycomb shades (same color as drapes/wall but solid) to each window. Those will be up 90% of them time but I feel I should have them to use when needed.

Oops here's the fabric

You posted the drape colors just as I was asking! :-) I asked because I can really see pulling through a tiny bit of an accent color with the drapes - either the teal I think I see hiding on your bookshelves or the fuscia from the flowers you have on your mantel, or a nice orange-red. Just a little hint of it in the drapes, a bit on the bookshelves, something on the side table in that color (maybe the lamp, maybe something smaller), and an accent pillow strategically placed.

Actually wondering what you think about the ottoman idea as a replacement for the coffee table & parallel to the 3 seat sofa in beige. The beige there instead of the timber table with the lovely rug would give the love seat a matching friend too!

It could lead the eye into the space more & then a timber side table on entry side of navy sofa. Ottoman can have a tray of décor goodies & move around for seating if needed.

No, I wouldn't.

Try moving the navy sofa to set it centered in front of the windows. Then you could put one of the chairs where the closest end of the nave sofa is shown in the first pic and the other chair at a right angle to it -- with its back to where the photographer was standing -- with a square end table in the corner the two chairs create. Move the coffee table in front of the sofa and add a square or round ottoman for the two chairs. Navy sofa could use a pair of pillows with the colors of your chairs in them.

Repurpose the neutral loveseat elsewhere or give it to someone that needs it and/or whose color scheme works with it.

Really great pair of chairs in a very attractive room.

Do you have plans to add some kind of window treatment for privacy? The back of the sofa and/or any chairs in front of the window will likely be higher than the bottom of the window so do consider shutters -- the louvered kind that have two pair of bi-fold shutters per window and with louvers that open and close with the shutters closed.

You could then leave the bottom set closed, but open and close the louvers and leave the upper set fully open or just the louvers open to let in light while providing a degree of privacy -- needed especially at night and on cloudy days after the lights are turned on.

Aahh, my husband will kill me if I gave away the loveseat - it wasn't cheap lol! I have to maximize seating in this room! I like the ottoman idea, I'll keep it in mind! My only reluctance is again, the kids. Lots of kids over our place all the time and I can just imagine them spilling all the food and drinks on the tray all over the ottoman :( and the drapes - totally agree about an accent color! Was thinking orange. I really wanted to find a fabric incorporating it, but I literally looked through 3,000+ fabrics and found nothing!!!! :(((

I love the room as you have it! It looks like a room that invites people to come in and be cozy.

Excited to see what you decided on curtains and rug too.

Additions possibly? A slim sofa table behind the sofa or love seat to act as a mini bar for your guests. Decorative items for every day and liquor if you drink for the party.

In the foyer I would wall paper the staircase wall with something bright and glitzy to frame the living room area to come and then find a pair of small Parson type chairs with or with out arms to go on either side of the nesting table.

Add a glamy lamp to add sparkle and the two chairs can be casually pulled up in the living area when it is party or entertainin time.....you living rooms has the right amount of stuff but the foyer looks a bit bare. Also some rugs and large pictures almost like a Gallery area in the foyer to fill the walls but leave the passage open for movement.

Love all that you have selected. You are doing it right I think!

PS I love Candice Olson Designs

and Alexa Hampton designs

They put so much in their rooms but they never looked like they have stuff in the rooms! Their rooms just look welcoming is all I know!! How do they do that!

I just think if you studied some of their rooms you would see how lovely your room is and that you can add another layer or two, no problem.

Thank you so much soosun! Lots of great ideas! I love the idea of wallpaper up the stairs - never thought of that! There are so many cool wall papers out now, I was thinking of wallpapering my guest bathroom too! :) you are so right, my foyer is still very bare... I'm slowly working on the house, we moved in a few months ago and then I had a baby. Focusing on the living room area and then chandeliers and art is next on my list!! Thanks for your ideas!

Soosun I love the Greek key console table in the last picture you posted!! Any idea who makes it?!
