Pull the rug out more. The front legs of both of the sofas should be resting on it. The map above the loveseat seems too small and out of place. Other than that it seems like a cute cozy room.

it's a nice room

don't be in a hurry-right art etc will find you. it's already cozy and livable.

agree with the rug suggestion..front legs should be on the rug

won't be worried abou the map just yet..you'll figure it out as you continue collecting. not a big deal, to me

love your fireplace wall and your bookshelves

I wouldn't mind curling up in that room in the evenings one bit. You've done a good job. I do think it would be worth it to get the map well framed, though. Good framing isn't dirt cheap, but it can make a real difference.

I also think it looks warm and cozy-very inviting!

Best wishes on your upcoming marriage.

It looks so cozy. Light a fire, relax and enjoy.

I'm not sure it needs a coffee table, which could overwhelm the small room. If you have side tables to put down a drink, do you really need one? Maybe a pouf (or two) or small ottoman to put your feet, instead.

Very warm and cozy looking living room!

Arrangement is good so far! When adding a coffee table I would make sure to have it be a small piece/one that features a glass top so that the area doesn't appear to be too crowded.

I would personally also change the rug, throw pillows and throw blankets so that a main accent colour is featured. That way everything will tie in together a bit more. Other than that it's looking good so far!

Congrats on your marriage and your BA. Kudos for saving money, that's always a great way to start a marriage!

Personally, I am not comfortable sitting with something up over my head other than art that is properly hung on the wall. Consider a vertical bookshelf in the future. You might be able to re-use what you have, just change them to shorter vertical shelves. People sitting get a better view and it's easier to access your books, easier to dust. Your room will look taller. I love the color book spines bring to an overall neutral coloured room.

I assume one of you is tall enough to retrieve those books. That, the map and the "floral" arrangement are my only complaints. Frame the map and lower it to 5" above the sofa back. Get a bookcase or two for the books. Try the tall empty vase on the mantel without the eucalyptus or whatever it is.

Why not?
