    Some art and some colorful throw pillows instead of all the browns and you need somewhere to put drinks I would do the sofa where the T.V is and the loveseat in front of the window and the T,V on the wall where the door is so at least 2 people see the T.V. straight on and it would also give room for a small coffee table

    Add a large piece of Art and some pillows matching with Art....to add more colors and life to your room.An Art can really bring in a wave of deftness to your room. It acts as a style to your room.

    I would suggest white wainscoting with a chair rail and white crown molding around the wall-ceiling junctures. Picture frame molding in squares on the ceiling might help conceal the vents in the ceiling too. If the picture frame molding is arranged in such a way that the ceiling fan is centered inside a frame square, that will help take attention away from the vents as well. I do love the refreshing, muted greenish light grey as your wall color appears on my computer. If you would want an accent wall, I would suggest black paint on the end wall behind the television as it will make the TV picture show up more and will give the room a movie theater effect, I would suggest you put white vertical trim on each side of the end wall, about one to two feet from each corner, keep the corners the original wall color, and add the black color to the end wall space between the vertical trim pieces.

    It must be uncomfortably to watch TV from the sides. I would move the TV to the wall to the left of the door to the powder room. Move the large chair to the space where the TV is now. Move the sofa down the wall further from the corner. Add a round table to the other end of the sofa and add a large tall(ish) lamp to it. Add a pair of very large framed art to the wall where the TV is now.

    Try moving your sofa to the right and placing the chair perpendicular to the left of the sofa. Then add an end table and table lamp between the chair and sofa. You may need to move the TV to the right as well.

    Or using Beverly's layout, I would move the chair closer to the TV and place the plant behind it.

    Paint the fan to match the ceiling. Add an interesting rug (beware of going too small). Add tables/chests so sitters have a place to set down drinks/snacks. Add tall floor lamps or table lamps.

    Can you switch the swing on the powder room door?

    As a fine artist, my first and foremost answer is, artwork -- but not just anything, to accessorize only. Art gives us the opportunity to speak our own personality in the room, and for that reason, you need to take time to find the pieces that speak to you. Enjoy this process -- what you eventually hang on the walls will be a part of your life every day, as you use and love this room.

    Also, consider whether you want the room to coalesce as neutral-toned entity, with the artwork "matching" the colors of the furniture or walls, or whether you want a color pop -- and because of the overall neutral tones, you can go in pretty much any direction you want with color. I am appending A Perfect Day in Venice as an example of neutral-toned art, and Spirit of the Canyon as an example of something with more color. Both are available as originals on my collection page at Houzz, and Spirit, along with many other works, is available as wall art at Prints.com -- http://bit.ly/1ZLIe0T -- and Great Big Canvas -- http://bit.ly/1xSXDCP.

    two small ones on either side of the television, the other one on the wall with the chair

    I would put the tv on the wall the powder room door is on, the chair where the tv was and move the sofa down on the wall it's on. Then put large artwork over sofa to bring in color and pillows with the same colors as artwork on sofa.

    Right now the colors of the furniture, the carpet, and the walls all blend in together. Any way to create some contrast? Maybe get a rug, or paint the walls darker or lighter? It'll be hard to make anything stand out as is.

    This is the fun part...I suggest a collage of mirrors above your chair directly across from your window and a nice vibrant piece of artwork on the wall that your couch is on. I would also add some colorful accent pillows on the couch and a couple of throws in your empty basket. Also, you have a beautiful plant hiding in the corner that could use a pretty stand to sit on so that it can be better seen and catch some extra sunlight.

    Did you try either of my suggested layouts?

  • 10 years ago
    Swap walls with the sofa and chair moving the sofa down the wall as far as you can . I like the tv on that wall by powder room very much. Couldn't you get a blind or Roman shade to put inside window behind drapes? That's not very costly at all and you could just close it when the sun is glaring. It probably won't do it all the time, just when the sun is in certain positions. Please try to swap chair and sofa, I think that would look great!!

    Or just move chair down the wall a little more and angle it like in the drawing above.
