These living room pictures are some designs we did for our clients. The sectional and sofa colors might work well with your sage rug.

Please post a picture of the TV and wall behind the sofa. If you love the art, that will be the inspiration for the color pallet of the room.

Yes, I would like to see all angles of the room because I think the art over the fireplace needs to be moved somewhere else. Right now it is too tall & narrow for the space. Let's see where else we can place it in the room.

As far as sofas and configuration: What are your seating needs in this room? Do you know if you and your family prefer sectionals or not? I know our family does in the Family Room when we are all gathered around the TV.

You have two competing focal points. Right now all the seating is oriented toward the TV.

I can't tell from the photos but if there is adequate space, I would like to see two swivel bucket chairs in front of the FP. Then arrange TV viewing seating closer to the TV.

Without more pix it is hard to tell but I think the tall art needs to go on the wall opposite the TV. Consider two 3-seater sofas and a pair of chairs. The sofas can be arranged like a sectional or in other configurations, and they are much more flexible than a sectional, plus more people get an arm to lean on!

Without seeing the complete room, I would suggest the room layout is possibly wrong. Here is how I suggest it be laid out. TV on opposite wall, sofa facing and two lounge chairs with round ottoman or coffee table.

Can we see the wall opposite the fireplace. Your art might go there, maybe over a console table or as part of a gallery wall.

Remove the chests from the corner. Also, your TV console is a little short. How about a couple of speakers on each side on the floor to make it appear wider. (Bonus: it'll make Hubby happy.)

May I interrupt and ask what exactly is below the TV ? I am just beginning to furnish a house. It appears to be a sort of floating device table to house a dvd perhaps? Thanks and sorry for the intrusion. BTW, I love the color of the walls!

If you must keep the art over the FP you can fill in the space on either side of it with sconces or scroll work or narrow mirrors or ??? Catch my drift?

The art over the mantel is great but it doesn't belong there. It mimics the windows tall and vertical when it should be horizontal. Can you find a better spot for it?

I know it won't work as a horizontal but just turn it and take a picture to see the difference.

I'm a big fan of natural linen and burlap curtains. We might make your art work over the fireplace if you set it on the mantel and group it with something else. I'll try that next. Don't tell Hubby I chose his speakers totally on the basis of aesthetics: they were the right height and faced the right direction.

Hi landrey! This room has such good bones! One observation and one suggestion: You may not have noticed, but the TV in the Overstock pic is considerably smaller than yours and much more proportional to the console. I think that's why folks are commenting on the size of your TV. Fortunately, your seating is a good distance away, so even though it is high and large, you probably don't have to crane your necks to watch!

Other thing is that you really need to consider what many are saying about the art over the fireplace. Visualizemaven suggested that you help it work by adding elements on either side. Great idea! Here's a very rough picture of how that might look. Brass candlesticks, baskets with shells, copper vase or ceramic pot, books. All sorts of things can be added without the mantle looking cluttered. Keep the colors metallic or neutral so they don't fight with the glorious colors of the leaves in your art; maybe pick up on the color of your sage rug. PS Not suggesting symmetry with those candlesticks, just wanted to show something on both sides.

I emptied the room of everything except the art and the rug (in case anyone wants to Photoshop some furniture in to go with your painting).

^ If you lean the painting instead of hanging it, it will be lower and look more proportional. Balance it with something about 2/3 as tall on one side, something wider and 1/3 as tall on the other.

West Elm's Peggy is on sale.

Put red cabinet on LR wall to kitchen. I love what Grover did. That be the right color for drapes.

I like the sectional you have shown us Landrey- that works!

Not for nuthin' landrey--judging by the picture with the orange sofa, once that goes in the room, not a lot else gets noticed, especially if it's any size at all. Really think the orange is wonderful in your space, but maybe keep the sofa neutral and pop that orange all around the room in accessories. I could see a largish orange ottoman, for instance that would really liven up a neutral sectional, but not dominate.

I found a grey room with a layout that could work in your room. I love that the room is a large mix of black and white blended into greys, etc. Also note the vertical picture; maybe your print above your fireplace needs a mate to add height and hang above it? Again just a suggestion for possibilities!

Here's a great leather-look ottoman with storage on overstock.com for about $90. A couple of these with your sectional could look great.

Orange is your room's WOW factor!

So right happyleg!

Don't your drapes look great! Sounds like you were able to synthesize all that advice and come up with some great solutions to your dilemma. Congrats Landrey!

Nice.
