    Beautiful colors in your room. I would pull the sofas up so the front legs are on the rug. Now it looks like rug is too small. Way too many pillows. Move the beige and white ones to another room. Keep only the blue and at most 3 on each sofa. Get some large art for the wall behind the sofa and maybe a wreath (possibly shell or driftwood because you have beachy colors) for the other wall. I saw both types at Pier ! today.

    jck910 is right about the sofa legs on the rug, the pillows, and a large art piece. Also, use a sofa table behind the loveseat and if you want white or beige in the room, try putting the vase with the white sticks on the sofa table.

    Is this too big for a sofa table?

    This room is gorgeous! It feels so serene and bright. I think it would be nice to have a painting above the love seat. Something with similar colors. Here is one that I found on Houzz.

    I would suggest adding linen or natural textured curtains to complete the room. Here are some ideas for colors.

    Can't wait to see how it turns out!

    What do you mean too big? What is the width and depth of the white table?

  • 10 years ago
    Have you ever thought about painting horizontal stripes around the room? It wouldn't cost a fortune, and could be really stunning. You already seem to be headed in that direction with the mirrors. Just a thought.

    Jck910 like this?

    Select Blinds I love the pic.... But what else would I put around it? Looks bare. Or is that the point? Turn the phone horizontal to get the setup

    Patriciarhall I like the flow of the pic! I def need something on that wall!

    Your table behind the loveseat seems ok -- then I guess you might put a lamp on it? That will shift your art space(s) a bit...

    Selectblinds you don't think that khaki color will blend into the couch if I do blinds that same color?

    Start by subtracting--not adding.

    Take away about half of the pillows on the sofas.

    Take away the 3 mirrors that look like they're the kind that are usually found mounted on the back of a door.

    Take away the white fake sticks in the vase and go outside and get some real branches.

    Leelee thanks! I'll take away the pillows (I went pillow crazy as I love pillows) but I like my mirrors!! ;)

    Get the largest picture you can find to go on the big blank wall.

    I think the painting would look best horizontal, instead of vertical above the love seat. In my opinion it wouldn't need anything around it- so long as the painting is large enough. You may also like something like this, it has a bit of the blues but is more neutral.

    Adrienne Overton I personally think the khaki color drapes would look great, as long as the color is not identical to the walls or sofa. I feel that you can go anywhere between a shade or two darker, and many shades lighter.

    Ok, thanks!!

    I would move the mirrors to the opposite wall and try your table underneath (it may be too small for the space, but I would not use behind the couch...it's not the right size or style for this). On the large wall, look for some large colorful art to ground the room and create impact. You could add some drapes which would frame your couch (see below) and warm up the room. Think about larger and more impactful pieces vs a lot of little accessories.

    Here's another look at adding a narrow "table" shelf behind the love seat and adding some interest items along with lamps.

    It looks like natural light goes all the way to the corner and would showcase a big fiddle leaf plant. Green plants make a room feel "alive." The "sofa table" you are trying doesn't work.

  • 10 years ago
    Ok, does the plant have to be real? What kind of sofa table will work?
  • 10 years ago

    Your preference on the plant issue. A sofa table needs to be about 75% as long as the sofa it is behind.

    What about this picture and table?
  • 10 years ago
    If you don't want a living plant (and I really don't recommend fake), then you might use an arc lamp in the corner where you have the vase and twigs. I would just make sure you get one in a color (lamp and shade) that would tie in with what you already have.

    I can't tell from your photo how big the picture is you just posted. And are you thinking for behind the love seat? Would you hanging horizontally? Is it about 75% the width of the love seat?
  • 10 years ago
    Yes it is about 75% width

    This looks more like your style:

    I think that picture would be a good choice. However, something with more beige/cream colors may be better.

    How about some large artwork for that empty wall? Check out my work here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShoaGallery  Many colors and sizes available. You can also put artwork behind the couch.

    Some samples below. Enjoy decorating! It's a beautiful space.

    It may be useful to share some photographs of a design of ours. Notice the art, lamp, and sofa table.
