Beautiful light. I love the wall color, too.

What kind of stuff would you like in that room? Books? A picture gallery? Plants? Mementoes? Toys? Quilting supplies?

Whatever furnishings you choose on the fireplace wall should be for the stuff you want to have in the living room. Sideboards won't make sense if you don't own stuff that goes on sideboards!

Is there a reason it’s on an angle?

Simple console tables on each side, maybe glass and metal, with colorful artwork over them, or just two large, light, vertical pieces of art for each side. I agree that the angled furniture looks odd. Once you add something other than gray and white, your room will start to look alive. Try a green plant on the coffee table.

The opened wall is angled so the furniture needs to be. We opened up the wall that was built in the 50’s.

I would probably still centre on the fireplace and not angle of. The seating area seems far away and not connected to the fireplace.

Add some art, plants, a book or two on the table and some pillows

I outdone go with a good piece of art on the right and a big leafy plant on the left.

Here are 2 ideas to fill the space next to the FP

How about some shelving?? I LOVE the French/industrial/Farmhouse shelves I see sometimes! I don't even know how to classify them, because I see them in all types of rooms. :D Two of them to flank the fireplace, like this:

CUTE, but currently Out of Stock

Another option

What do you think? It'll give you something to fill in the space and leave room for future collecting/styling! And if you don't like this style, there are other "simple" shelves to look for!

Console table or chest with art on either side of the fireplace

Antiqued glass mirrors on either side of the fireplace

I absolutely love the mirrors but I already have an anchored mirror on the fireplace that cannot be moved. Otherwise, this would be the solution.

Use art instead of mirrors. You need some life in the room

I agree that the sofa should be parallel to the fireplace wall.

another idea would be an asymmetrical approach in a contemporary style as seen in the inspiration pic
