The rug fits perfectly in the room, I don't think you need a larger one. The mantle does need more color added. Perhaps add a large painting on top, with navy blues in it.

The alcohol to the left of the television confuses me. Do you entertain in this room often? I'd personally replace the alcohol with something more decorative.

The coffee table is another fantastic place you can begin decorating with more reds and blues. Maybe some flowers on the tray in a blue vase.

I agree with everything. Thank you! I wish I had another spot for the alcohol. I will try to find artwork with navy in it to fit between the lights on the mantle. What do you think about the chair placement in the room? Pillows?

It's a lovely room but the two side chairs over innthe alcove look a little lost. Will they fit with the rest of the furniture grouping?

Then you could get a credenza/bar cart over in the alcove and move the alcohol and maybe barware & turn that area into a fun spot.

I can't put the couch across from the tv because there is a little wall there and it wouldn't fit. We do have another tv room though. We just added the tv in here for an extra watching area.

What else can I do for the pillows?

I would find another room for the two mismatched chairs. A bit too large for your space.

Once those are gone, remove the corner table/lamp and center the sofa on the three windows, ditto rug and coffee table. That will will give more space between the arm of the sofa and the built-in. Flank the two matching chairs on each side of the coffee table. If you need lighting, two narrow floor lamps, will be perfect.

Now you have red, blueish/gray and beige.

For the sofa two pillows, only… a hit of red, but bringing the other fabric colors over to the sofa.

For the chairs, two lumbars, concentrating on red.

I would keep the arrangement you have except use the matching chairs in the sitting area here, especially since they seem to be smaller and will fit better.

I don't quite understand your built in where you have the booze. Are there sliding bypass doors above and below, or is that just paneling? If the areas above and below the TV don't open into cabinets, that's a lot of wasted space that could be used to house the booze. Put your glassware and bar tools on the open shelves and store the liquor behind closed doors.

As for colors, you have a red sofa, green rug, and navy pillows. It all lacks harmony. I'd either rethink the rug or the pillows. You can do red and blues, or red and greens, but I wouldn't do all three.

This room seems too small for that huge coffee table and four chairs. The coffee table is big and dark and is sucking the life out of the space, and its matching end table in the corner is just another big chunk. I think a smaller coffee table and end table will be key. The two stray chairs stuck in front of the window can turn to face each other over a game table to give them purpose off by themselves. I would move the darker gray chair at the same angle but beside the FP on the left. Right now your sofa seems to be centered on 2 windows with just a tiny bit of overlap. Are you sure it can't go in front of the other 2 windows and face the TV?

I replaced the bottles with glassware and got rid of the green undertones in the lumbar pillow and rug.

Too many chairs for a room this size unless you want to lose the couch and do an arrangement of chairs only. And if even you did at least the pairs should match IMO. I don't really understand the purpose of the room or how many people you need to seat.

4-chair groupings don't necessarily have to match exactly. Here there are common themes; collected industrial and subtle formality. I think you could do all chairs together, but you might want to reupholster the barrel chairs. In the pix they look a little tatty, and a color that better unites with the grays would help. It would make for better TV watching if they were converted to swivels. You still might be able to use the sofa by floating it just past the arch, facing the FP. for a separate sitting area not involved in TV watching.
