@Daniella Maria Do like new arrangement. Still love the 2 blue couches. Like rug even more than I did now that can see more of it. Only need the one - 9 x 12 looks right sized but I would still like couches pulled back a bit more off of it. I disagree with those saying it clashes with FP. I think when one big chair & coffee table is added, rug will ”recede” from view anyway. The wall color looks different in latest pics - sort of griege & seems good. It does well with floor tile & FP

I would put the TV at the right of the French doors for under that small Long window it's way too high up there

I'm on team keep sofas! They are gorgeous!! They do need to be pulled back from the center of the rug though. My instinct is to add a complimentary color for the side chairs, like a green or a rust color, and in a different material than leather, like a boucle or a velvet. A couple of house plants, a dark wood coffee table, some cool art and you got a banging living area!

Love love love the cognac/camel sofa suggestions. So pretty!

Don't shop around the rug. It is too small for the space and too busy for the stone fireplace.

Can you use it under a dining table?

What brand are the couches??

I like the sofas, but they look black on my screen /not blue at all. I'm trusting that this is a trick of the monitors. I need a new sofa, and I'm thinking about blue leather ... the color doesn't "rub off" on your clothes, does it?

Like /would keep:

- The sofas ... I might've preferred a slightly lighter shade, but, then again, it might just be my monitor

- The rug

- The round table between the two blue chairs

- Though I can't see the whole house, I think I like the L-shape layout

- That great ceiling

Would change:

- The walls ... with those deep, rich colors, the white doesn't seem to be "enough". Thing is, I can't seem to say what color I'd choose!

- The light blue chairs. They're not friends with those deep, lovely colors.

- The too-high, stuck-by-itself TV

- Add lamps ... lighting is so important

- Add drapes ... they'll bring in texture and softness

I like the blue.

Sorry, but I don't think the rug works.

I'd go for something lighter, w/texture.

I like this rug.

the blue grays and soft white/gray work w/the stone and the sofa.

I like the wood coffee table too.

as mentioned, that tv is way too high.

I photoshopped it lower and gave you a thick, wood beam mantle.

here's another version

lighter, textured rug, a tall plant in the corner, and either a dark butterscotch velvet chair (more texture) or the gray woven fabrick w/dark walnut wood frame.

maybe a leather pouf for in front of the fireplace,

along w/some baskets, throws, etc

notice the mantle here. the chair, rug.

or this kind of mantle.

you could also do a layer w/a hide rug.

Another layering w/a jute/sisal rug, and more of a boho type of flat rug on top of that.

If you like the blue rug, then go w/one a little less busy that won't compete w/the stone

I like the cooler blue/gray tones on this one. I think it would look better w/your sofa. notice the chair in this pic too.

and once you cover it w/a wood coffee table, or an ottoman, it won't compete as much w/the fireplace.

Love this simple blue one layered over the offwhite flat weave below it. the rustic wood table w/the greenery is perfect for your space.

What about a nice light? something like in the earlier photo above, or a woven rattan type of pendant?

(Try Article for the walnut chairs. I have one of them in my room:

decor for the hearth area.

Love these near the hearth w/the blue wool throws

The fireplace stone is an attention getter. Bring in some other textures to soften or play off the stone.

do you have place for a little wood bench? a throw? some art?

Beth, Thank you so much. You have some great ideas. I love this rug and table you posted. Do you know what site these are from? I think if I did this I might return one sofa and go for comfy chairs.

Yes ! found it. The 5X7.6" size isn't too bad. and there is 25% off?

i think it would be perfect w/this on the hearth area

(go to home goods for the throw and baskets)

and one or two leather poufs. and a wood table. and a wood mantle!

Article for the chair.

Otio mist gray

Or, they have it in this warm leather. would look so good w/the blue

I love this chair w/the same tone in the slate fireplace. and that wood beam mantle. sorry, but you must get this! set the mantle into the stone w/lag bolts. (if you need more info let me know)

they have some gorgeous rugs

https://www.luluandgeorgia.com/collections/rugs

I like you double sofas in the L. maybe do a chair and a potted plant in that one corner. hang a nice piece of art on the wall near french doors.

OR, on either side of FP under the windows, do some built in benches! that would look killer

this is the best I could do!. maybe do some blinds over the arch portion of the window (see the picture directly above) I'd also paint the walls a diff color. unless you want to do very dark charcoal or navy benches.

Here's how the FP looks w/the wood mantle and lowered tv. and I gave you more of a farmhouse style light fixture. that fan doesn't work in here. If you must have a fan, get a diff style.

Go for the new rug. The two sofas in an L shape allow you to consider some chairs that are “lighter” looking. Maybe the rug can be used in a bedroom. It’s pretty but not helping to enhance the living room. I love your sofas and a lighter rug will make them the stars of the room, as they should be!
And yes - the tv is way, way too high! The room will be great.

Luckily Beth had the source for the rug you love.

Keep at least 1 sofa, if not both. If you keep one, you could do 2 upholstered swivel chairs and 2 more leggy /wooden chairs. Lighter rug. And definitely bring the TV down. Can't wait to see what you do!

Beth found such terrific pieces for you. Looking forward to pictures of your completed room!

I feel like the 5 x 7 of that rug is going to make my life complicated. It’s much too small for the room and I’m not really into the layering. The other sizes are much too pricey for me for a white rug mainly because boys live here. I will do the white but I’m more comfortable doing it at a lower price point. Or I was considering a Ruggable. Any other ideas?

Anyone like these? Any other suggestions?

Maybe one of these?
I’m going down a rabbit hole again! 🤦🏻‍♀️

The first couple of options are good. The last two are (again) too busy. My only concern about the Moroccan Tassel is the depth of the texture could be a trip hazard. Keep looking for the right LIGHT 9x12.

Relocate the TV and select a rug that will 'anchor' the room with pattern and color. All these rugs from Rugs-Direct.com

I love blue, but think that the two sofas are too much...send one back and replace with 2 comfy chairs...agree with the different rug and consider white washing the stone. Or send them both back, the blue is sucking all the light and looks heavy and bulky. Where are you located? Asking because we live in NC, and FLS (FurniturelandSouth) in High Point has quite a few leather sofas available for immediate purchase in their outlet. We were there on Saturday.

I would say keep one of the blue couches facing the TV and add the camel color in with chairs. Agree with textural, not heavily patterned rug.

What are you planning for the space behind the couch? I have often seen those console tables that serve as addtional stool/chair seating behind the couch. Hard to tell how much space you have back there...

I would love to put the tv there but I’m outvoted by the husband on that one.

Yes, I do have a lot of space behind the sofa. I need to get in a writing desk. And I will also have space on one corner for another seating area like a reading corner.

Tell the dear husband he can purchase a larger TV if he relocates it to a wall. With the way the TV is mounted the room looks like a Sports Bar!

Identical sofas might seem plain, but with all you'll add I think it's fine -- because there's no lack of variety; the surfaces include fp, wood ceiling, tile floor, and wall paint.

Floors that are square tiles, I personally don't like rugs with structured patterns, but abstract or this type. I like how it echoes a bit of window's dressy arches. Seems neutrals of walls, etc.... Camel, Ivory, Light Gray.

On a more solid rug... again, because of bit of dressiness in the room, I wouldn't go very industrial rough for tables, larger items.

Someone mentioned taupe, so if walls are a liked taupe-y - this would be more uniform, and let the ceiling 'show' more. If this direction, I'd return both sofas.

I can delete some of mine - I just saw some put-together rooms above - fine, with textured neutral rugs and sleek white units with blue, etc.........

I’ve decided to keep them.

I really liked the look Beth did above. But I cannot get that rug in the correct size so I came up with these options.

What do you think?

1. Is the same rug suggested but in blue

2. Also blue (different rug)

3. Description says Black. Reads gray to me.
   

   

@Daniella Maria Yeah that you’re keeping both sofas! That’s been my vote all along. of the 3 rugs you’re considering now, my pick is #2 - it reads gray to me not #3 as you noted. But I think gray & that texture is good in your room. FWIW, I still like your original rug despite what pros say. I had said my thought was much of the "weight" of that rug's designs will be covered by coffee table & I don't think it fights with other elements in that room. I also think part of the division of opinions given here is between those who favor jewel tones & stronger colors in their furnishings & clothing & those who favor monochromatic & subdued tones in their color schemes. I’m in the former camp as noted by my liking of your original rug & blue sofas!

Thanks KW. I agree. I do tend to lean toward bold colors. But I came to let go of the rug because I had intended it for a camel color sofa which I could not get. A little bummed that look did not pan out because I think it would have been so nice.

Beautiful room!

keep the blue..but add all shades of neutrals so the fireplace stone does not fight for attention with the rug….what style do you love…rustic…modern…modern farmhouse? add all neutral with tons of texture.

With your sofas facing each other you should add a rectangle coffee table not round…have you already purchased the round rustic table?

I turned them to an L which opens the view to the doors. Going for rustic. Everyone here has helped me so much. I love the striped pillows.

I love the drum table but the largest I can find is 40”- sofa is 89” - Does that work?

Oh thats good one facing the fireplace..much better!

for that configuration you need a round or square…at least 50”

some push two rectangle coffee tables together to get that oversized look and it can be more budget friendly…you could look for 2 that are 50” long by 25“ wide and bunch together…

This is a 48” square…not sure what your budget is but this is a nice mix between rustic and traditional your sofas are traditional and fireplace is rustic so a nice mix..pillows will really help support the rustic style..will you be adding a chair?

I like the last two rugs - are they the same or in two different colors? They will work and create the look Beth posted.

I understand being a bit sad about the initial rug and camel sofa idea, but your living room will be lovely with the two blue sofas together and a lighter rug. Who doesn’t love a BLUE LEATHER sofa??

Thanks for looking up the table. Should it be a little lighter though?

About the chair - my husband agreed to mount the tv on the wall next to the door which was suggested above. But not sure a chair works on that end of the rug. It could block the tv.

Who doesn't love BLUE ANYTHING? (Oh wait, maybe that's just me.)

I would add a mantle and a larger tv on fireplace……the way your room is laid out it really works well..than you can add more seating and add a chest or console on that small wall with art over it..it will really round out the space and be very family friendly…seems strange to put tv off to the side.

Add a couple small square ottomans in front of fireplace along one side of coffee table..nice for extra seating..fun for family if doing board games on coffee table…adult seating when entertaining.

Found this light wood table in rectangle you could do two to create a square..

Popping in, and saw your sofa table idea - if that's more prominent and visual to other rooms, maybe that could be considered, along with coffee table.

Thought you might like the color/style combination of room and rug below.
