The room seems a little off balance. Try scooting the sofa in toward the coffee table so it's feet are more on the rug. The sofa and the chairs should be the same distance from the fireplace. Coffee table centered also with the middle of the fireplace.

What a great painting. Is it centered between the two chairs? Hard to tell from the angle of the picture but it needs to be just in between the two chairs.

When I saw your room, I thought perhaps a bold color like purple for the walls.

One other observation. The stacked tables with the plant don't belong by the fireplace.

You have fabulous furniture and just a few tweeks will make a subtle but big difference.

It would provide a modern twist.

Here are some ideas

I love the mirror. Any chance you could get an identical mirror and hang both on either side of the fireplace, I think the light from the lamp reflection will make the room seem big and give it that wow factor. You could hang something bold on the fireplace wall.

I dont want to go for purple because i need to keep the rug but i was thinking maybe a soft aqua? I am resenting the room with the changes.

The couch looks better drawn in. Thanks. Can you color the room palladium blue?

I ant get another mirror. This is from very long ago. But that would have looked great

Additional ideas. You might remove the two tables and put a mirrored chest on either side of the fireplace.

It is a great room already! To elevate it to the next level, I would change the coffee table for something more sculptural. Also there needs to be something on both sides of the fireplace to frame it. Maybe metal open back shelves or identical credenzas, and so on. I would look for different lamps, yours are beautiful, but too neutral and visually not stimulating for a living room. This is were you can go bolder with the colorful lamps. At least I would switch the shades to black. You have a great start with art!

If you want it to be more contemporary, lose the mirror. Move the art over the fireplace...not the mirror. Place the end table with lamp between the two chairs. And yes,. Agree about the plant and tables by the fireplace. Just doesn't work.

You have many duplicate posts on this. Before I realized that, on one of them I also suggested moving the art over the mantle in place of the traditional mirror which doesn't appear to be reflecting anything.

Sorry. Ive never posted anything before and i thought it didnt work the first time

Someone is supposed to come and angle the mirror next week so that there is more reflected. I brought the couches in. I agree with the coffee table, lamps, and something to frame the fireplace. Depending on what i am able to find at least one, if not two of those suggestions will be followed. But I dont know how to recolour the room. My dining room is nearby and it is also white with yellow and taupey grey. So i cant go too dark.

Can someone recolour a soft aqua? Because that is what i was thinking. Even though I think it might clash with my dining room

Also, any suggestions for the more sculptural coffee table. Because I like that idea

something like these for a coffee table

In aqua

I love the first round coffee table. Where is it from?

I'm downloading the Color snap visualizer now.

The first one is by Arterior homes Brampton coffee table

Im going to take pics of the hall and dining room tomorrow because im starting to like your purple but im not sure it will work with the rest. Im getting scared of liking your purple. Lol.thanks

I love Beverly's first picture with the sunburst mirrors. Perhaps you could bring in purple with pillows and a throw.

I like it too.

If you paint the room dark color your painting will have to go. It will not look good in that spot anymore since it is very dark as well.

I like your room and I love the painting. Look into highlighting it with an art light. I think that will make it even more of a showstopper.

Im not going to go there. I had actually been thinking about a sea salt type color. But tomorrow ill add the hall and dining room because its all connected and then maybe you guys can give me more advice. Because its been fabulous and the possibilities are endless. Goodnight night, night owls.

I just bought the painting. I had seen it 4 years ago and there was an opportunity that came up last week that gave me the chance to purchase it. It is by an artist called Paul Bourgeault. So I started rearranging the living room to make room for it. I love it actually but I hadn't planned on it

I thought the sw sea salt or palladium blue bm might brighten the room and make the painting stand out. But im happy with the white room

It is only paint. I actually had a purple living room and it was fun. I personally get tired of all the tan, grey, beige and greige. If you tire of it, you simply paint it again. I'm putting a deep purple color into my master bedroom.

Here are some fun purple chairs. The chest and chairs are from Horchow.

Is the painting by Paul too large to go over the fireplace?

I have tried to add a soft aqua to the room and thought you might want to see how the room appears if you move the painting. I personally think the room needs the sparkle the mirror provides over the FP.

I would paint the room a soft, light olive green. It would bring out that color in your rug, and coordinate with everything else, but help warm up the space.

Are you going to keep the shades on the windows?

Why not switch them with a pair of custom Belgian linen curtains? If you choose a soft top (rod pocket) style and white curtains, it would immediately make the room seem more contemporary/transitional.

If you go with light aqua walls, you could match them to the wall color like with a Belgian flax linen in Spruce, or contrast with a Belgian flax linen in Optic White, which would also modernize the space.

You can order free fabric swatches to see the best fit for your living room!

There is a box covering a really ugly hot water heater under the window. So I put up those blinds because I couldn't put drapes that went to the floor. I thought of adding drapes on the side of the shade anyway but they won't be floor length
