I would do the drapery all at the same height.

Maybe try the glass topped table next to the white chair.

If you like your coffee table more than your tv stand, hire or have the handier half of "we live in the country" build a coordinated media shelf across that entire wall for the glass lake/waterfall effect. scoot the hard arm chair somewhere else.

maybe flip the dark chairs with the light sofa so optimal view in the big windows.

Nix all curtains if you're country.

This room looks familiar?? Which do you prefer to sit on while watching TV? Chairs or sofa? Your preference should face the TV. I would get the TV console at least 32" high and maybe 72" wide, It will fill up the wall nicely. As much as I love yellow (personal favorite) it really isn't the right accent for the other choices in your room. It's too bright and all on 1 side of the room.

I would remove the pictures from those frames and put them in slim metal frames. Then hang them stacked vertically with a hand's breadth between them. What is opposite the sofa?

That TV and media console look pretty wimpy. Yes to a larger console; but how about a larger TV as well?

I'd lose the Bergere chair. If you want a chair there, make it an upholstered armchair for lounging and conversation.

Curtains would definitely soften that window wall. You don't have to ever close them.

There's something a bit off about the rug. I think it's a hair too small, but could still work if it were centered on the two chairs. It looks like one of the chairs is sitting half off the rug.

Yes to reframing the pictures and hanging them vertically. I like the way they go with the vases. If your media console is long enough, the vases might go on one end with the art hung on the other side.

Fabulous look, grover! Woof, woof!!

Here are some tweaks in the meantime. You could move the TV to the end of the rug and hang your two frames vertically. This would probably give the chairs a better view of the screen.

The opposite corner needs a much bigger lamp. Use a floor lamp and then move the end table forward so the sofa and chair both can use it. You might also paint some of your dark dark furniture to lighten it up.

A plant would be great, but you must keep the fabulous vases.

Alice, I think this is the lamp you're looking for: https://www.lampsplus.com/products/surveyor-cherry-wood-tripod-floor-lamp-by-possini-euro__w1650.html
