Another view, from real estate listing

Find out what your style is - put different styles in top search box, such as eclectic, transitional, traditional, etc. You'll get ideas there. Try to put more substantial items on the mantel - wider and more colorful, or darker. Leave the ceiling light off or put it on a dimmer. Best lighting for this space is a table lamp or wall sconce in each corner at chest height. The real estate listing had some good color to punch up the space. The shelf isn't really doing anything for this room. Either fill it up more or switch it out for a more narrow one. There is no need to have a shelf of that size unless it's got more to go on it. In your accessories, you have the opportunity to pick up your blues, grays, and whites. You also have a little orange in the rug. Switch out the three small framed pieces in between the windows and find some pieces you love that are bigger. Find local artists or art.com. Start a wish list for yourself for all the items you want to get. Measure twice, buy once!

Thank you so much. I was going for a refined eclectic vibe. The lighting is definitely an issue, but I’ve been trying to nail down the major items before I buy lamps.

I would really like tables and curtains next. I was thinking of off white floor length curtain panels and a marble topped coffee table. Do you have any thoughts on that?

(Yay I just learned how to do this!) Blocking an unused fireplace is a thing.

Sorry, it sounded before like you were not happy with the layout as is. No worries! And Patricia is wonderful!

If you want a separate office and TV area, some measurements might help a pro on here. I could not tell how wide the entrance was or how long the wall was in front of the stairs.

Curtains can be blue, white/blue print, or a white/blue/gold print. (Is the wall color staying gold or changing?) You could change the shades to blue and do white curtains or a white/blue print. You could also do a double rod with sheers instead of the shades. You could extend curtains to the whole wall, or over both windows, if you like. This is a great way to pull the beautiful blue couch color through the room.

Art/wall decor can go over the FP, next to the bookcase, and in the bookcase. Your FP mirror is a good idea, or a large art print that picks up your curtain color. I also like the arc floor lamp to the right of the TV.

Wall art colors can have red, gold, white, or blue from your rug. Family photos would look good in simple frames with a matte. A floor plant or 2 can go by the windows if you like. Find decor meaningful to you. You might be able to go shopping right in your own house!

Your white marble coffee table will look great, but does it come in round? or does your rug come in rectangle? You could put your round rug under the desk and a rectangular version in the TV area.

Keep us posted, I would love to see how it turns out!

Sorry, my post was confusing. I am looking for more decorating help than layout help, but I was open to suggestions. I did try your number 2, it just didn't feel as good to me as the way I currently have it.

I was thinking about getting the rectangular rug, but I don't want to spend money there if I don't have to since I need so much. I also have the same rug in the dining area (photo below), would it be weird to get a third one for under the desk??? I love the idea of a rug there.

Curtains are hard for me! I am looking at these:

What do you think? I also might try black as the decorator I paid suggested:

Do you like the marble top table with a black base or gold? I'm leaning towards black.

I'm going to edit the post to make it more clear. Thanks so much for your help.

Hello tlbb, hope you and the family are well. Any updates on the family room?
