Looks great only advice is to paint out back of bookcases in black or navy blue..it will add such drama to your space..add larger white pottery to some of the shelves...less small frames...go big on everything!...cover some books in white card stock paper..stack them together...remove plant put it in a large pot on a stand in corner of room near the window..

Art on the wall behind the sofa. Something colorful. And maybe fewer small objects on the wall unit. Nice space.

Agree with removing the sconces and adding art on the left wall.

Inject some color and add texture by changing your throw pillows.

Also, you need books on the shelves. For the love of G-d, please don't cover them with the stock paper (sorry, Home Interiors with Ease, but I disagree :).

Its really pretty. You need dramatic colorful art on the left wall and decor on the shelves and sofas that ties that in. I'm anti-curtains.

Also, I just noticed those sconces and they need to go. If you need more lighting in the room go for recessed.

I love the room. I think the addition of a really rich rug to tie the two sofas together would create a much more energised, warm feeling. In that case you would not need to depend on your art for colour -- although there would be no reason for you not to use colourful art as well. But I've given you one of Geoffrey Johnson's beautiful people-and-cityscapes just because I've recently fallen a bit in love with his work.

I would not paint the back of the bookcase -- not because it wouldn't look great, it would, a different kind of great. But I love the actual design of the bookcase, the placing of the shelves, and one would lose that with a dark background.

I would not ad a tv or curtains. But like said above, large art over the couch and the light sconces removed. I like how it is modern yet you have the antique (look/real) framing to the bookcase. Nice room

Add a little color. Or if you like a neutral look, add some texture and go a bit darker on the rug. Yours blends too much with the walls.

Hama..not all the books covered..just a few here and there to use as a base for a frame or pottery piece....especially some of the small ones...

I was thinking no drapes...remove the blinds you have and replace with natural woven shades...would look great with your sofas and keep the style you have going! I like the neutral rug it gives the room a more organic feel...look at getting some mud cloth pillows...

I love the ideas! The painting over the couch, a plant in a big pot on the floor, painting the wall behind the bookcase. Excellent.

Agree painting the back wall of the bookcase a dark rich color would really be beautiful. I'd add a large Fiddle Fig and I've always loved this piece...if you are a minimalist it would look nice in the room.

Here are some mud cloth pillows...

I think something needs to be added to top shelf..I am sure you already know that....if painted out black you could add some large organic pottery on top...also would add some wall lights to flank book case or matching floor lamps would look amazing!

Here I mocked up with color for wall with bookshelves.

celerygirl, second mock up looks great behind the couch!!!

Don't like the gray on bookcase:(

gallery behind sofa is great!

Agreed.

If afraid of the black for bookcases...you could use something like this instead...grasscloth wallpaper..

ok, may be imitation of grasscloth better. I can not make it better, sorry. I just picked color from coffee table.

Here I tried teal
