If that's the kind that also massaged up your legs, wow! "Everything" should share a tiny thing in common: in a way I like how black scrolled table feels massive like the black chair....

Good no dinky-small art: could you re-use the flower's frame, etc...? With functional chair like that, the mirror seems cold.... in person do you like it?

Take 2 photos with accessories removed - would be nice, actually.

... with the puffs in sofa/ chair too: sculpted 3-D wall piece ? Not behind sofa, but on other wall...

You don't want chair to become a boring "spa / office" look -- if you can, try art with funky look...

What do you want to keep besides the chair? What is your budget? Do you have any inspiration photos?

Replacing your swags with curtain panels will make your room look more up to date and fresh. But I am a little confused, is that your TV smack dab in the middle of the windows? Can you switch the tv and the brown sofa?

Is anything on the nearby wall [of black chair]?....

or 2 of these..... 23" and other designs/ sizes:

I see you're working with leftovers from the '80s. I don't see any keepers except the tan leather sofa, the TV, and the massage chair. Everything else, including the brass shelf in the other room should go. Craig's List can help you with that. I assume this is to be your casual TV room, so finding the right spot for the TV is prime. Does the occupant of the massage chair need to see the TV or not? Certainly the front window is not the spot for it.. Do the seats on the tan sofa recline? I assume not since there is a coffee table right in front of it.

I’m answering a couple questions at once...no the beige couch does not recline. Yes the person sitting in the massage chair would like to see the TV. The TV doesn’t need to be in front of the window. That’s why we bought a new stand for it so we can move it wherever we want. There’s nothing on the wall that is to the left at the massage chair. It’s our formal living but we never use it. I have no problem changing the curtains Also that about putting a window in the wall right behind patient couch and a chair on each side. Not sure how that would look. Where should the TV go if it’s not in front of the window.? How about above the beige couch?, No I don’t like the mirror above brown couch.

This is my inspirational picture

Nice -- somebody photoshop it in?

I think we need to understand exactly waht you consider modern. The first thing to go is those things on the windows , the 2 sofas look like they belong in 2 separate spaces and in fact theway you have the room arranged they don’t even relate to eachother That massage chair IMO just does not belong in that space and either does the exercise thing . A foor plan with details would be nice and what you are planning for purchases .Right now all we are doing is guessing I can’t even get a feel for the room and IMO all the stuff from the 80’s needs to go if you want modern .I like the new art much better than the hotel piece you have .

Guessing like others ... you said you never use the space..

It sounds like you want a space you can exercise in, then sit in the massage chair to relax in, yet have it more updated since it is most likely the room someone sees when entering your home or when sitting in the dining room.

I would start by buying that photo you like that looks like it is still at a store and it would look nice over your leather sofa and with your massage chair, then get rid of the brown puffy sofa, lamps, hotel photo and swags. .

Then post a floor plan with the dimensions of the 'keep' items. Just removing those items will make a huge impact.

Aside from that, I am guessing you have someone in your home that needs the exercise chair and equipment and would like to use it while watching TV. I too would suggest taking one of the couches out and even though I have had a TV in front of the window, it is better on a wall...could you put the TV on the wall where the couch is with the chair angled so that it is easy to watch. And do put drapes on your windows...it will make them more modern and softer looking. One coffee table is enough....if you need two, then use an ottoman for one of them.

Thanks everyone for your advice but for now I will try to get rid of some things and at a later date, buy new. I will keep your suggestions in mind.

Okdoky. I love re-purposing fabric, and items, making them into something different, unique. I wonder if the valance is a material that can become pillows for another room...

Keeping beige sofa and striped pillows /

Near black chair, one other chair, or one on each side, this time in bold pattern: houndstooth, or chevron..

This type over with black chair - 1 or 2:

Cute? I like the simple color background, like yours... and could add art with somewhat similar shapes...this over beige sofa?
