Porter, the only thing I'd really considered for underneath is the basket, similar to that original photo you'd made for me up above. I'm not glued to anything being down there, it just feels a little empty? What are your thoughts on it as is?

Love your fireplace. Is that a manufactured stone?

I tried a few things that are simple and nothing worked well minus the basket. I did another mock up of layering to see if it occupied the space more by layering with simplistic items? What would you like to see below with only a lamp on top?

Heavier lamps will balance it, like the photos on bottom shelf. Beautiful home

I like the idea of more on top than bottom if it visually works. I've got a toddler who would love to move anything that goes on the bottom shelf!

@nidnay, thank you! We love the stone too. It's real stone... tumbled something? It came in big barrels of heaviness!

Irene, I will try that when I get home. I'm sure I can find a lamp around the house to set there to see proportions. Thank you!

I think a heavier or larger lamp is best suited for the right of the table only unless you do two tall beefy candle sticks on the top of the table given the doorway opens to the table. I do love Irene's second option if you are ok with cleaning/dusting the items below. Looks pretty though!

So beautiful....and what a mess! I am building as well but they haven’t done the fireplace yet and I am dreading it. It freaks me out when everything looks like a bomb just exploded :) My floors are in but have not been sanded or finished yet, but still...maybe I will leave town when they do the fireplace.

I've got some candlesticks at home I can put on the left so we can visualize. I had the lamp on the left, but it was a bit awkward with the light switches there. And with it on the right, it's easy to turn on from that hallway. When I get home tonight, I'll try some things. I'm not totally anti-dusting or anything! But, why make more work for yourself, ya know??

Nidnay, it is so strange to walk in to a living room with mortar all over the floor and stones laying all over so they can pick the size they want!

Would the mirror fit there hung the other way? It looks too tall.

Or maybe you could use this mirror elsewhere and get a round one for this space.

Thoughts? Basket is too deep for there, but just for looks...

Really don't notice anything but the mirror. It is the show stopper and can hold its own. It is even more weighty visually since it is reflecting the stone FP. The table looks like its uncomfortable and feels threatened. Is it too high or too long for the sofa back? If the table isn't suitable for the back of the sofa, at least give the mirror the premier spot above the FP mantel where it will draw the eye into the living area! Put some art above the table in the foyer area instead.

@Deco,
I'll move the table tomorrow and give it a shot!

I believe if you don't like it behind the couch I do like it there. It's long and you can't do anything wide. I like the cotton in the vase vs. the candles they are lost. A taller lamp with a solid base. Maybe when you unpack you will have some small framed art to lean?

Just need a slightly more beefy lamp than the caged lamp or it is lost :)

I think that mirror would look good on white wall maybe lime washed to go with rustic floors. If you don’t need lamps in there don’t use it . A small pot plant in a rustic looking pot would be sufficient.

I'll rearrange just to see it tonight. And, once I unearth all my lamps, I'll try something bigger there!

What are you planning for the FP mantel area? I think you already have a solution for there and your table can work where it is or with the sofa.

@Deco, no clue! Any ideas?

That cabinet to the left will eventually have a TV over it. It will be a while though, no time to watch TV anytime soon!

The couch would need to move in some and the table more on the rug. I do like the table here, but the mirror seems lonely! And I wonder if lamps on the table here would block the fireplace view? (The chair in the corner gets replaced tomorrow).

I think the mirror would be great in the foyer, hung vertically, just lowered about a foot, and no table and no accessories.

If you leave the table under it I think you should hang it horizontally.

Keep the table behind the sofa, I hate walking in to room being welcomed with the bare back of a sofa.

Lower mirror a tad and add a bench underneath, a 3 drawer chest would pull the weight of the miror or a demilune table with nice base.

I did notice the rug issue... can you move the other one inward so they are both on the rug? I don't mind the table there.... I do like it in the foyer though. If you want you can do a bench in the foyer as another recommends, but I think it would be very lost with the large mirror. Maybe a bench with a back on it, but then the seat of the bench might be wide with the door there.

I don't know... I like the table with the lamp and leaning art and the correct size single lamp or taller candlestick lamps. It looked very pretty to me.

I see it as things on the mantle, the lonely table behind the couch then you don't want a lot of decor on it I believe.

Toss up to me....I favor it in the foyer is my gut.

Anyway, have a great day all!

I can mock up some lamps on the table later if you like. You would not want really large lamps there IMO. Wondering where you would plug them in if you don't have any outlets in the floor? It's a beautiful room and you have the other table on the left wall you might put something above or a lamp on it so I'm still torn. I'll do the mock up for you early this PM when I'm back if you like though so you can see.

Perhaps behind the other couch with lamps. Still favor the foyer, but behind the other couch is a decent option for add'l lighting and less busy if you want to do the lamps on it in the living area.

I would put a little silver colored bowl ...for keys ...or , a long one without the photos ...in the center between the lamps or alongside just one lamp ...whichever you wind up with ...it's always good to have some sort or decorative tray ...in the hallway ...
All looks really nice !

Your home is beautiful. Love the mirror too.

The dimensions of a sofa table take their cues from the height and length of the sofa. Sofa tables generally look best when they are the same height as the back of the sofa and should be 12 inches shorter in length than the sofa.

Here are two different lamps one with a more cage base and one with a very narrow base and narrow shade so you have the least visual obstruction to your room which I know was a concern. I'm not loving it, but that's my thought. I didn't pick the lights due to my love for them, but for their shape(s) and your concern for blocking the room to give you a visual of ea. is all. Typically they would stand 26" from the table top to no more than 30".

Good morning all! I've got some pictures on a different device that I'll attach this afternoon. I do like having a sofa table; I didn't think I would. But, I think the one I have from the foyer is too long, as Porter mentioned. I want to make sure the walkway between the table/couch back and the staircase is plenty big since that's a main walkway. I do have some floor outlets in there, so I think I can tuck cords easily. I got the new chair delivered yesterday and I think the color is off. I'd love opinions on that once I get my pictures loaded. Also, I like having a sofa table, but don't want the seating pinched too much since I had to move the couch forward some. I haven't gotten a coffee table or end tables yet, so there is some flexibility.

Honestly, the sofa table is a little long and thin for the sofa, but it is also a little long for the foyer wall. For better balance I'd suggest a table no wider than 75% of the wall's width. Is there any other location where this table would be ideal?

jhope, you can put it behind the other couch if you choose if you decide not to put it in the foyer. It will be against the wall so not moving furniture if you desire more light it would look better there as you only see the ends on the table and lamps.

However, appears you don't need extra light in the room???? So, I'd stick with the foyer table... Just my opinion as I don't think you need more in the living space with the other table on the left wall in the photo, fireplace, coffee table, end tables.....

Anyway, will wait to see what you upload and can't wait to see your new chair.

Here's a couple pictures with that caged lamp on the table. I think the table will move back to the foyer and I'll get something different here. I really had never considered a table behind the couch, but I do like it. 3rd picture is the walkway I've got to keep wide and open. If I do a shorter table, I think it will help. But, I'm not sure I should look for something too much deeper?

@Deco, there's really not another good spot for the table. The house has lots of windows and not many long stretches of empty walls.

And, the chair... it's not like I remember it being from the showroom sample, but there she is. I could switch it out for the wingback chair from my bedroom if it would help. Only bad thing about that is I've 2 in a grouping in my bedroom, so I'd have a lonely chair. Can I use some pillows or a blanket draped and make it work?

@Gloria, thank you!

This is the chair in the bedroom... would pair well in the family room I believe and think you might try it. Ugh....

The chair you are showing that is in the family room now vs. consider leaving the leather chair you had, no pillow and placing a faux fur throw on which ties in with the couches IF you don't want to take one from the bedroom.

You could do a faux fur draped IMO so it gives more oomph vs. the pillow. I think a faux fur throw draped would work unless there is something about the chair I'm not aware such as scale or function.

My only thought on the new chair in the family room is it's very structured from the glimpse I have similar to a large desk chair.

I bet you want to be upset with me.... yet, I don't see it.

I DO like the table in the foyer. I feel it may be about 6" long, but NOBODY that comes to your home is going to say, "that table is 6" or 7" too long for that foyer". Once you get it decorated with a lamp or lamps and..... that's what they will see...

Lastly, I don't feel a table more than 10 to 12" MAX in width will work by the front doors. It's not stunted, it's not to narrow at that width.

This chair looks better if you don't want to lose one of your bedroom chairs. You can drape a throw over it and continue decorating your home until you find what you like down the road. It's not at all bad... a pinch small in scale, but toss something as such draped on it.

With bench

Smaller table or chest

I also think you could move the table behind the other sofa.

There is no sofa table here of course but the sofa backing foyer is open.

This set up is most likely a long shot and not practical for your family I am sure. but it is nice. TV is behind the sofa.

Here's a better chair shot. Maybe a blanket and pillow or something would help. I can't figure out if it's a color thing for me since all the darker colors are on the side of the room (Chair and fireplace) or if it's a height thing. The chair is taller than the old chair and couches.

I don't know quite where that chair currently in the corner will live. I'd like a nice tall plant there.

Ok, you can slap me jhope, but I think it's the style of the chair could be color too.

Your living area is a comfy cushy, cozy area and this looks like a rectangular recliner in that space.... I believe that is what it is, but on my computer I can't see if it is the case or not. I could be completely wrong as I don't see any details on the chair and I do have a new MAC. Maybe I need stronger glasses :)

Ha! I can see the style is boxy, now that you mentioned it. Can I make it appear cushy or is this a lost cause?
Any recommendations for the corners behind the couch with no table? I don't think I want to do the table there since it has functioning drawers and some usability away from the wall. I thought about a chair for one corner and plant for the other. Chair recommendations? What about end tables and such? Still think a round coffee table would be best?

Fiddle Fig trees look beautiful and in your space would look great.

I'd do round with couches in the L shape as you have them yes.... that is coffee table.

You can try a faux fur throw over the edge of the chair to see.... try to find one with a little of the color from the couches. Restoration Hardware or you can google it. Worth a try! Well, off to do a lot of work today so have a nice day all!

I find the lounger too boxy, rigid looking and dark a color for this space.

This weekend I'm going to try to get some blankets and pillows to try to soften that chair. I agree... it's too rigid compared to everything else in there @Deco. I like @Porter's idea of using a light throw over there to tie the colors in. I feel like this room is looking too safe though. I hope it will look less so with tables and lamps. I'm wondering about a patterned curtain though. Nothing too crazy, just something other than a solid. Any ideas about to push the room out of a comfort zone?

Here's another idea for your entryway. Two 6 1/2 ft tall mirrors held up with large gold rings. Sorry for the blurry photo of the rings. Best I could do. Then a wall mounted light in between. Took a snapshots from a video I saw recently. Designer is Robeson Design. Even the table top had a similar shape.

I'm visualizing something in a shape such as either of the above.... a little taller like the more square one you have now appears to be.

No pattern to them, just different colors of leather. Yet, I like the style for the room and even like the leather. You can do your faux fur throw and toss pillows taken from colors in the area rug.

I love the shapes of those chairs! I'm going to try some throws and will upload some pictures this weekend. I might have to just switch chairs though.

Too weird for the living room??

Doesn't work well with the area rug nor the rest for that matter IMO. I'd for for a solid.
