Why did you post this in Landscape Design?????

Love your grey sectional... really nice. I'd go with a really light color on the walls...Personally would not add patterned curtains, just something light. If you want to introduce patterns I'd go with throw pillows/throws.... art on walls.

Seems very dark, so not sure if additional lighting is in order, or if you just didn't have the lights on :)

Thank you. Is there another way? First time posting here.

I agree I need additional lighting. The picture is a bit dark. I’m trying to upload another...I agree w/pillows! Thank you

I love your floors!! They are so nice and add a lot of warmth!

So is painting the walls an option? If not, how about a couple of uplights on that very dark wall, together with some lighter artwork and a nice green tree?

" Is there another way? First time posting here. "

Yes. Ignore the stupid Houzz suggestion to post in three different forums. Just pick the one that is most applicable to your topic (Home Decorating). Cross posting to unrelated forums (Landscape Design) just confuses and clogs up those forums with unrelated topics.

Are you reading this Houzz Adminstration??? Can you please abandon the inane practice of encouraging cross-posting?? And why does the 'Miscatagorized' flag no longer work??

Ok sorry abt that

As far as painting...I just did. Now I’ll have to add oictures/plants/pillows/curtains to make it warm. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi. I wanted the TV to go on the large dark wall & the sofa to face it but when delivered this is the only position that fits making me change the TV to the wall you see in last picture. Since TV still operates won’t replace with wall TV until it dies(lol).

until then I’m in search for things you mention...couch table, lamps, area rug, art & pillows.

Thanks for your help!

Can you angle your tv so that everyone can watch?

I'm guessing you need an 8x10 rug, minimum...?

I'll poke around online and see what's out there, just know that monitors lie about colors :) so it's always best to buy the tiniest rug offered (usually 2x3) to do a color test and then return it...it's easier that way...

What colors do you like?

hi thank you for your comments. Yes, I angled my TV so all can see.

Colors: i like white(&and alike), black, even soft pink, & lavender. Love red but usually not anything dealing w/home decorating.

i agree w/the rug!! Good idea buying the smaller version first.

What about an eggplant and gray combo?

You could add in a bit of teal or navy?

Here's a few...sorry I couldn't get the pictures to load, so you'll have to check out the links...it's an easy website to navigate as you can narrow the rugs down by color and size, etc.

They have a great sale on right now, but they usually have decent sales.

Yes, luv Your ideas!! Ty

You have quite a challenge getting the large sectional and large television to be comfortable in the space. I wonder if rotating the sectional, with the long portion back to the arched opening would allow the television to go on the dark wall. I realize you would have to provide enough space from the arched opening to allow for foot traffic, but it looks doable from the photos.

I'm a bit concerned about drapes in here. The sectional has made the room a bit on the tight side, as you know. I just recently switched out my drapes in my family room for roman blinds. It's definitely a cleaner, simpler look, but it also makes the room feel larger...you might consider that. It MAY be more expensive to do custom fabrics, but there might be some other alternatives depending on your window size and configuration--I can't tell from the photo is there's one or three or if it's a bay window or a picture window. If it's one large window, you could do two or three smaller blinds if you have the room to attach them to the underneath-top of the window...do you think it would be something you like?

If your budget is really small, you CAN diy these using old mini blinds and your own fabric...if you're handy of course.

patriciarhall , thank you for your help!! The sectional can’t to moved as You indicate. Couch is 11 inches & space is 10 1/2 inches.

Sometimes it's the computer, but it looks to ME like the undertones in your new couch and the paint on the wall are substantially different. They're fighting with each other. I don't know that there's really much of a solution for that but to repaint, choosing either a warmer grey or greige this time, or a different color altogether.
