Help! Custom built home needs TLC!

10 years ago
I'm so lost on how to decorate my living room. It's the focal point of my house so I'm starting with this room. I really wish I hired an interior designer when I built. I'm so lost! Any help with all the BROWN. Brown leather furniture and so much of the same stuff), brown carpet (which appeared lighter in the carpet square we picked), brown tables.... Ugggg! Paint color? Accent furniture? Wall decor? Help! Thank you so much!
Sorry about laundry on floor and kid mess- I was so tired but so fed up with my lack of a "home".... Last pic is of entryway where guests enter to see family room.

    here the deal.

    stopp placing your furniture at the edge of the room, no need for that...

    pull the sofa in closer to the fireplace, put one chair on either side of the fireplace angled by the windows.

    lose the table between the two chairs all together.

    lose the love seat and any chair not used every day.

    start art shopping. large pieces nothing too small.

    start curtain shopping.

    the color of the walls are fine.

    layer an area rug over the carpet to break it up.

    can you replace or paint some of the tables?

    the minute you cozy up the furniture, and add art to the walls it will feel more complete.

    also throw pillows, and throw blankets.

    basically you set the furniture in there, and left it all blank. that is the only reason it seems cold.
