Super colorful big piece of artwork above fireplace.Colorful rugs.

A lamp (on the end table). Colorful pillows for the couch and chairs.

IdaClaire, that's definitely a unique approach. Maybe just buy a few white pillows to match couch/chairs and let the view carry the day? From a "need" point of view, the chairs are comfortable but arms are kind of hard..

Here's view...we love it. Secondly, here's a pic of one of our inspiration homes; they don't have any colorful decorative touches - of course their house is nicer and more dramatic but with many of the same tones.

I think it is perfect! Calming, bright and clean lines. Why highlight your sofas/chairs with bright pillows or your walls with a bright picture when nature has given you that fabulous "picture" framed by your window/door frames. The colors in you house are an extension of what is on the other side of the glass. You also have the fantastic fireplace with the perfect floors. Sit back, relax and enjoy your lovely home. If you fell you need to do something to add a small about of umph, shoot for pillows or a throw in very close colors to what you have but get the umph from texture. Once again, your home and surrounding area is beautiful.

Great suggestions Flo Mac. Perhaps no additional color IS needed. The fireplace stones are fairly colorful.

Your fireplace imo is magnificent, as is the view, love your furniture too!

As in your more color-filled and layered inspo pic, I would add a rug. And if keeping the current furniture arrangement, a piece much more interesting from at least two angles and in better scale to replace the cab with the plant on it. Probably a larger lamp sans ottoman on the other end. Not quite so large as the inspo room lamp, but with equal 'presence'. All that typed, it is a beautiful space,enjoy!

You have a gorgeous home and are so lucky to have a view like that. I also think a nice area rug would help with the cozy factor. In terms of layout, I think the chaise should be angled. Move it away from the sofa so the side table behind the chaise can be moved up next to the sofa. the chaise should be more of a separate piece. Right now it kinda looks like you are trying to make it as a sectional with the sofa. Instead, separate the sofa and chaise.

I agree with others to leave it pretty much as is. I'd add a neutral rug and get a large plant for the space between the fireplace and the window rather than the little table. Maybe a Norfolk pine? It's hard to tell from the pic, but the potted plants look like they may be orchids and seem a little delicate for the space. I'd do greyish textured cushions rather than white.

One additional thought, swap the chaise and the chair. Wouldn't it be awesome to lay on the chaise next to that view? Plus. the chaise currently is close to the kitchen area and moving it to the other side could help with traffic flow in the kitchen area.

Thanks for advice all...couple of notes. We CAN angle the chaise - good idea. The chair swivels, so yes - when you want to view the outdoors you turn around 180 degrees. Good suggestion on angling the chaise! Good idea on plant where small table is; maybe Norfolk Is. or a lime tree or similar.

Just remember that this view disappears after dark. Hence, you should also view the room at night to decide if you need something more.

See if you can find an uncommon shelving unit -- something more than utility of purpose -- that adds to the desired vibe of the room -- to position left of the fireplace (instead of the framed art) and create a green corner there. Perhaps something that resembles circular stairs?

For art above the fireplace ... what hobby related art could you put on display there besides a framed picture? Music? Biking? Hiking? Photography? Sports? Travel? Forests? Beach? Mountains? Disney vacations? or what work passion?

Interesting chair corner cabinet placement. As a fan of symmetry, that would feel really "off" to me. Not a fan of that kind of lamp (left of sofa) -- had one tossed out long ago.

Can you re-purpose that small cabinet to another room and invest in a matching pair of either end tables and tall think lamps with large white shades or, perhaps, a lamp/table combo?

Since your sofa and chairs are contemporary, something else you might consider for end tables are the shorter (two large drawers w/one small top drawer optional) upscale (wood) filing cabinets -- dual purpose of storage that could be lockable and/or fire resistant for not just financial records but smaller expensive electronics or camera equipment and/or collectables as well.

If you want to add color to the room, consider a way that might help prevent birds from crashing into your windows as well -- sun catchers for your windows. They would be easily changed out depending upon your mood or the season or the event you're hosting. Collecting them could become a new hobby.

Do let us know how it turns out.

a few thoughts on possible rugs, trying to follow your inspiration pic

I normally do not like fireplaces, but I do like yours and would not add anything to it.

If you want to add throws, those can easily be changed out, and they may add some comfort, if the room is kept cool. A neutral rug might help also. Add pillows only if they are needed for comfort, and I would keep those neutral also.

Your view is a good beginning if the sunlight is right ... as in, are your windows facing north or south or east or west? How much of that "empty" land outside the windows is yours to landscape? Do you have access to it from an adjoining space (dining or kitchen)?

Outside the window, I see what appears to be a concrete slab and a short wall planting rectangle? What you do with your exterior has the potential to make a huge difference in how satisfied you are (long term) with your view.

As for "dramatic", your inspiration pic does have darker dramatic colors. Usually darker colors can work well in larger spaces with plenty of light. Lighter colors work better in smaller spaces to make those smaller space more open feeling, which you have done well.

You have separated a sectional. Have you considered taking it one step farther and not having it face the same direction -- not have both parts directly face the fireplace -- you might consider trying the lounger at an angle especially if you can find a triangle shaped table for between the two pieces.

You could then use the gray cabinet you have on the other side of the room. You should be able to hide an electrical wire beneath your sofa to have lights on both sides of the sofa.

As I'm sure you've noticed, there are as many right ways to do it as there are opinions! Some people would clamor for color in here, others prefer keeping things neutral. You have the best possible artwork already out the window, as someone mentioned. But if you love art, there is great opportunity above your fireplace. The one thing I would suggest, whether you prefer neutral or a more colorful approach, is to bring in texture on the sofa. Your sofa, as beautiful and clean-colored as it is really needs some texture and a little contrast (irregardless of what color you choose), whether it be pillows or a throw or whatnot, to anchor it in the room and make it looks like it belongs there rather than just being put there. Whether or not you stick with neutral or more colorful, also try to bring in a little of the warm greys and pale tans of the stone along with some great nubby or furry texture in pillows or throws. The room has really beautiful bones. Best of luck! (I am curious where you are...looks like my neck of the woods!)

Was something ordered wrong with the arms of the furniture? If you switch the chaise to the other side the arm will be wrong - however have to ask if TV or no TV is planned for here? If no TV you could move the chairs but turn it so it’s facing the sofa for good conversation grouping. If a TV is planned for here then the chaise should probably stay where it is but it needs to be separated from the sofa more...get your layout set before you select a rug and add a textural throw in the colors of the fireplace to take the bite out of the bright white upholstery. I also vote staying neutral but you need texture and some oatmeal tones to work with the hard surfaces. Good luck!

This CB2 rug would be a contender for a rug as it’s a rich saturated camel tone which would relate to the stone but still fall in the neutral family.
