thank you.

i liked the idea of the throw, i thought about adding some color with like a yellow pillows you think it will blend nicely?

Yellow works too

Looks like you need better lighting in that space.

Also if you post photos of the entire space, I can make suggestions of artwork. See my work here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/shoagallery

Some of my work is in the video below.

Here is an image from one of our various living room designs. Notice the added color.

Would you be open to painting the walls? That would be the cheapest and fastest way to add color. Your rug choice is nice, but leans a little 80s against your already neutral palate. I also agree with others that there are better options available to help liven the room up. Big is always better, in regards to rugs. Go big and colorful with your rug.

Your floor lamp should go beside your sectional, not tv. Move glassware/vases from floor. They are too small for floor placement. Replace blinds with roman or wood shades. After wall paint, rug, and decor is complete, add wall decor/art.

What color is your sectional?

I agree with everything Steph said....except I would go with fabric window treatments......nothing gray.

lately i have been noticing that when you have dark furniture, if you then have light pillows they look like white holes. so you need more umph to your color.

it looks like a dark brown sectional to me.

Nice flat.

I like the one or two tone pillow on the sofa idea and a matching rug. And yeah, get a big one.

But, not sure our mate Zack here should get wee pillows with giant flowers and the like on them. It would probably clash too much with otherwise cool pad.

I think it also always depends on budget. The idea of repainting the entire place and making over windows etc are all great ideas, budget permitting.

I don't think some of the posters realized the OP was male. Well, hopefully.

sorry we get so many ops that use boys names and are actually girls. so maybe a more out there rug. i agree with the opinion on the rug you have. let me know i can take down what you do not like.

I didn't mean to be a wank though or anything and if some men are into flowers and stuff like that, I'm definitely not one to judge them. I was just making an observation.

A super colourful rug would work nice for a pop or funk in there. I agree.
