One very large artwork over the sofa would be perfect. Make it colorful and something you love. Leave the hallway ledge empty. If you are tired of the decorative items on the window ledge, take them down for now and use something seasonal like pumpkins or gourds.

Tape up some newspaper to check size for artwork. Aim for two-thirds the length of the sofa.

What about a pretty potted plant like an orchid on the hallway ledge?

as apple pie suggested, artwork with colors you like over the sofa; everything in your room is the same color. The corner between the tv and sofa needs something - a tall plant or a floor lamp? I have a bare corner just like it, and am considering a tall plant (likely artificial). Also, artwork on the wall above the ledge that blends with the other art. It could have less color but a matching or similar frame; maybe a botanical, etc. Or you could go no frames and choose gallery wrapped canvas art. They are readily available in stores and on web sites like Wayfair, and very reasonably priced. Or a decorative clock above the ledge? It could be seen from the kitchen so that might be a good choice. The wall above the ledge seems to need something - my eye goes right to it. A vase that picks up a color in the art, or seasonal item would look nice on the ledge.

Yes, a great large painting you love over the sofa. Get rid of the stuff behind the sofa and buy end tables and add a lamp (move the one behind the sofa to an end table beside it). Leave the ledge clear.

Do this and then see how you like it. You will then know what else you need, if anything.

Texture in a rug would really transform this space.. New lamp, orchid of your favorite color on coffee table and artwork behind sofa. What colors do you gravitate towards or do not? Chose first thing that came to mind with your furnishings, just an example to show you visually what and how it can change the space.

I would put some picture ledges over the tv & a large canvas print over the sofa.

I know this felling-empty walls..and you're kinda hesitant to add..and you're not sure about some of the pieces..and it all looks so clean..and you want to either fill it up-or stay with this feeling a bit

I say-stay with with this feeling a bit. Instead of filling up. wander, window shop, look in books and magazines, find interiors on the web or in books or maybe friends's one you like..figure out what you like..the mood the colors..the amount of texture..should it be understated or more exuberant? what reflects your mood now?

it s a nice space you've created. go slowly. look for inspiration. right pieces will find you.

we have enough things in life we have to hurry to finish; rooms are not one of them for which I'm personally really grateful..:)

the ledge can become amazing pedestal for flower arrangement, sculpture, painting..all three..

you might see a rug you'll fall in love with-and that's how you'll know your accent colors. if they'll be different. they don't really have to, some people are really drawn to certain colors. but maybe it will be different pattern. which will also give you clues about your preferences at this time

you might see a quirky light you like

you might see a painting or a print you really, really want

you can see a vintage mantle clock

expose yourself to all this cool stuff..walk , enter stores both new and vintage, get inspiration..that's fun

and meanwhile enjoy that grand feeling of being in the middle of the journey

Thanks for the input everyone! Tons of great ideas! Jodie White Designs - I really like your idea for over the sofa! I'm into more whites and grays right now for colors, clean looking. But also into changing things up with rustic, farmhouse, maybe some antique pieces. Currently stuck with dark brown furniture for the time being..... Thinking maybe some fabric window treatments to lighten the space as well?

Aprilneverends - what a lovely comment :-) Exactly how I'm feeling and a great reminder not to rush!

Everything that was said above And colorful throw pillows. So many people are afraid to add bright pillows to a leather sofa but it can really lighten the heaviness. I have seen silky watercolor pillows on a dark leather sofa and the result saved a marriage lol

Nice job on the kitchen

Rugs above from World Market (yours is too small), Kilim pillow from Grandin Road, art from Gallery Direct. I replaced your lamp because yours is too short and I got rid of the sticks in the corner because they are just generally an abomination. ;-) A plant (if you can grow one) will bring some life to the room.

A different color palette:

Fabulous groveraxle! Really brightens things up!

I would move the television to the wall where your sofa currently is. This will help cut down on glare on the TV. You can flank the TV with book shelves in the future to create a "faux" built in look. Or maybe in the future your budget will allow for a larger entertainment cabinet. This is will be your focal wall. Then move the sofa directly across from the TV (floating it perpendicular to the love seat in front of the window,) you can add a small sofa table behind the sofa it in the future.

The large print can move to the wall where the TV currently is. Then (in the future) add 1 or 2 small accent chairs with a small table in-between them. Another lamp there and you have a great space for entertaining and relaxing on movie night!

As for the ledge, I would look for a great piece of sculpture, that would fit perfectly, it doesn't have to be pricey, just something you love...

Great start on your room!! How about about some drapes to frame in the windows?You can have the drapes as one of your accent colors and this will help bring softness to the room as well. Good luck!

I know what you mean. We just remodeled our kitchen and now the rest of the house doesn't match our new kitchen.

What I like to do is repaint decor to match my color scheme. Today's spray paint can paint over anything. I've painted ceramic vases, picture frames and light fixtures. If I see anything on sale that I like, like at Home Goods, but not the color - no problem. I buy and paint it the color I like. Paint's cheap.

So look at what you have to see if some paint would help and save some money.

Pick an accent color/s to incorporate into your new decor and then shop for artwork and an area rug. If a new coffee table is in the budget that would also liven up the space. I would steer for a table made from a different material than wood and also avoid another dark color, like brown.

Good luck!

Seeing the whole space as you added more photos, painting the TV wall and area leading down the stairs a pretty darker gray or black to accentuate the angles and lines and balance the TV wall with adding depth to your space. Once you replace rug coordinate wall color and furnishings. Good luck. Paint is a fantastic inexpensive transformation.
