You have a lovely home! I would look into a tall floor lamp for that corner. Your coffee table is accessible from the sofa and love seat. Ideally, an end table is best, but since you have one on one side, I think you can skip it due to lack of space.

In the future, you can think about smaller scaled furniture. What you have does look comfy though, it just overwhelms the space.

Thanks! I'm not a fan of my couches. I kind of settled with them because I couldn't find other gray couches I liked in my area. I thought of just doing a chair instead of the love seat, but worried about having one less place to sit. Thanks for the advice!

Move the square end table from the corner it is in to the corner between the sofa a loveseat. It's a bit low, but good enough for now. Put a lamp on it and then place a torchiere lamp in the corner to the right of the loveseat. A torchiere lamp will shoot its light onto the ceiling and softly light up the room.

A couple bright orange or teal blue pillows would add color.

If you decide to get chair, then get couple of it.

You need an end table with a lamp in that corner. And yes, the sofas were an unfortunate choice - too big and awkward looking. When you can, replace them.

You have great consistency and continuity between the rooms so far. I would keep that up. If there is room, I would put the larger couch across the corner of the living room, at an angle stretching between the two windows. Then the love seat 90 degrees from it, across the corner where the end table is now. (if the love seat is too large to fit, switch it for a chair.) Then put the end table between the love seat and the couch. Turn the rug and coffee table to parallel the large couch. Behind the large couch, add a tall fishtail palm tree, and some up-lighting with a remote, or turned on from a switched outlet. You can use cheap can lights on the floor under that palm tree. Then I would choose a bright accent color to use in both the family room and the kitchen, to create a focus for interest and a sense of continuity. I would use that color for drapes/valances in both rooms, pillows on the couch, one substantial display item on the coffee table, and some large display items, like plates, crockery etc in the kitchen. I would keep any drapes or valances sheer, to preserve what light there is. Make the themes tie together a bit, if you can. (For instance, in one room of my house, there's a garden theme. My accent pillows have butterflies on them, and there's a butterfly net on the wall, and a ceramic butterfly night-light. There are decorative trellises with knobs on them for hanging coats, etc. and birdhouses on high shelves. There's a statue of a woman gathering flowers in a basket.)

Thanks for the ideas! Replacing the couches isn't an option. I'm furnishing an entire house, so I have to use what I have and add to it or alter it.

Actually, if I can't find someone to buy the couches I might have another space in the house for the loveseat. So I could move the couch over a little and buy a chair if I do that.

You have a lovely home! I like the rug and I think the couches themselves are just fine. I would recommend finding some visually lighter items to surround the couches to help keep the space from seeming overwhelmed by dark solid furniture.

Glass topped tables would provide the functionality without the visual weight of a solid table.

Leggy side tables with a light colored or glass top also give a feeling of airiness.

If you put side tables on either side of the loveseat you could then add table lamps for light. It looks like you might not have ceiling lights (or few) so that could definitely be contributing to the feeling of darkness in the room.

I think your rug choice is excellent and really helps make the space more light.

I don’t have a problem with the couches. It looks like some seats recline in which case I wouldn’t have a coffee table. I’d push the sofa and love seat so their arms touch and put a table and lamp in that corner. In the other corner you could put another end table or c table and a floor lamp. Different pillows and maybe window treatments if that’s in the budget and I think you’d have a lovely, comfortable room.
