I like your new couch as it seems to pick up some of the colour in the rug so I would get rid of the temporary armchair and maybe get a slimmer armchair of similar height to the sofa. I would put the tall lamp in the corner and move the small side table to the right side of the sofa, and get rid of the lamp on the right side as I think you have plenty of light. Can the tv be hung on the wall at all or combined up with what looks like a bookshelf you have there? Perhaps you could also swap out the coffee table for either a smaller one or a glass one so you can see the pretty rug. Finally, a really nice piece of art or perhaps a beautiful big mirror to bounce the natural light back into the room would look great above the sofa. Hope that helps!

Thank you Nat! I'm going to switch the side table and the tall lamp, and hopefully I can banish the temporary chair back to its old home soon. (Having lived with it for almost two months, I think the new chair needs to be shorter like you said, and possibly slimmer as well.)

I think I'm stuck on TV placement because of my bedroom door, but I hope to mount it soon--it feels a little low on the credenza, I think it needs to be maybe 6 inches higher. And I need to get around to hanging art (I moved in the end of May)--I have a box full of framed prints, I just am unsure whether I want one big piece or maybe a cluster of three pieces.

My current coffee table is a little big (and too heavy); I'm just a little scared of losing storage space, because I like having the shelf underneath. But I love my rug (a hand-me-down from my grandparents) and want to show it off!

Finally, I made a floor plan on urbanbarn, and it helped me see that putting a chair by the sliding glass door would be really tight! I definitely have room for a chair on the other side, but since I frequently use my tiny porch I think I need to keep that walkway open.

I like your coffee table!
