Round shape comes to mind but your couch isn’t the same seating on each side. I think the goal is for each seat to have a surface in front of it to set a drink etc. on especially if couch arms too high for side table. Maybe consider oval shape. Do you like to put feet up? How about leather ottoman with a big tray for drinks / cups?

How did you know we like to put up our feet? = ) Yes we do. Oval shape would be nice. I like your idea of the ottoman.

However, not something you would put your feet on.

I like this, but too narrow.

Oval or round, although I think aesthetically a large round may work better. And an ottoman is an excellent idea - especially if you have children. Whatever the case, ottomans are mult-functional, fashionable, and comfortable.

Wow! How in the world did you do that @freedomplace1 ? Super cool. I like the round picture. Kids are grown and moved out. Luckily, they visit often.

Okay, don't laugh. I showed my hubby the round table and he said, "Great. Where do we buy it?" Poor guy. He has been incredibly patient with the search. The visual is fabulous.

Too late... I did laugh... 😂

Ok... so now I must attempt to help/rescue hubby. :)

You're great! Thanks for throwing me a life saver. 3ft diameter may be too large. I'll measure it out when I get back home. Coscto time. Lol

@HU-600106137 those visuals are great, aren’t they? Another suggestion for mockup - cut paper, cardbord, or fold a sheet or towel, anything like that, to the size of table on floor in space. Helps to ”see” & feel the space that piece will occupy.

People of Houzz to the rescue. Many many thanks. I have a large piece of brown packing paper that I will cut to size. I'll post a photo when I'm done. Sometime later today.

Hula hoop measures 36" inside. A rough visual estimate. The carpet is 5'x8'. Where it is placed allows for 13" walking space couch to table. Going to look for the first picture @freedomplace1 shared, but oval in shape. The hunt continues. I appreciate your opinions immensely

Here is a 30". I think we may have a winner Houzz.

Did you do a sit & reach test from each seat with both 30” & 36” size? The 13” walk space is a little close but doable but I wonder if 30” is too small to reach from most of the seats. Do they make 34” rounds?

I'll look at 32" - 34" and see what is out there in the world of coffee tables. The room is 9' x 16' . The room ties into the kitchen. The couch is considered too large for the space, but we enjoy it. The sofa measurement is 62". So ,31" to 41" should be the length of a coffee table. Not sure how that factor's into a round table.

I think I'm going down the rabbit hole again. My poor hubby. Pretty sure he is tired of me saying, "What about this one?" Lol

Too little. Size does matter. I like oversized coffee tables. I would go with 4 of them. :-))

I think round is what you need, but a 30 is too small. It will look out of place.
I think 36-42 would be best.

@Celery. Visualization, Rendering images, I want that room. Lots of natural light. Comfy looking sectional with a beautifully sized coffee table. With that said, I'll try the 36" round. You all are FABULOUS ! Truly appreciate the help.

Kidney shaped or Nesting Tables

@freedomplace1 The 36" round has been purchased. Appreciate the link. When it arrives I will post a photo. Then, on to the next project.

I may have purchased too soon. The kidney shape BeverlyFLADeziner posted looks spectacular. *sigh* I do like that shape in the room. I am very much a visual person.

@HU-600106137 No, no - don’t regret the purchase of the one @freedomplace1 showed you. I think it’s a perfect fit for your room style wise! I also like the openess of the table - it will visually fit space better than a solid or colsed table would. I think the kidney shape table is fun but but a bit too modern style wise for me..

You should be able to cancel, if you prefer the other. If you don’t want glass, there are also wood tables in that triangle/kidney style. Look at the angles in the visuals closely; and also try to draw that shape out in your space - to see how it might actually work for you. Other than that, round nesting tables do offer placement and styling flexibility.

Thank you, @KW. I just noticed your comment. We were posting at the same exact time, basically. :)

The first time I showed my hubby the round table photo, he truly did like it. ...and I did/do too. We're happy with the purchase. What would I do without the Houzz community?

I hope you both really love it in person, too! :)

I will pop in and say that your art has a certain vibe, streetside but soft... does it portray decades ago, by chance? Thank u.

@HU-600106137 Great! Now that’s settled, I wanted to say that I like your art over the couch - the image, the colors & the size. Is the street view a real city place and is it a historical scene?

@everdebz Holy cow - are we on the same wave length or what?? We posted simultaneously! 😅

@KW PNW Z8 @everdebz

The picture above the couch has been passed on from grandmother to aunt to hubby.

It was purchased in Chicago so we pretend it is a street scene of Chicago. However, we have many friends from there and they do not recognize the buildings in the background. Instead of allowing that to burst our bubble, we continue to believe....Chicago. = )

Hey....look what I found...

@HU-600106137 well, how about that - a lovely family heirloom & now you’ve found some provenance for the piece! Priceless!!

@freedomplace1 The table arrived. Thanks again for the link and thank you all for your thoughts. Houzzers rock!

Now, blinds. I need to do something with these blinds. Thoughts?

Looks good !! :)

Maybe some shades that coordinate with drapes; positioned just below crown molding.

ETA: You could add the shades with or without the current blinds. (And better if the shades are a bit wider than the window frame and blinds.)

Not sure of your exact drape color, but I think they may be in this general range (at least as I try to see them closer & in better light on my phone screen).

^^^^ various colors.

@freedomplace1 Pretty! I like those luxe modern woven wood shades. New to me is have them as an outside mount. Then, to position just below the crown moulding. My curtains are Pottery Barn Seaton Textured. Soooooo, it should be similar in colour. Got it. You are the best!

Our walls will be painted a white. Talk about overwhelming. White. lol

I know... there are so many whites. One sample source is Samplize.com.

I don’t know if you’ve already selected your shade of white, If not, these are a few of my faves, that I think may work in your space - so if they are not already on your list:

BM Swiss Coffee:

BM Ballet White:

Farrow & Ball Clunch:

PPG Southern Breeze:

Thank you! I will buy 4 small size cans, paint it on a board and place it around the house. 5 gold stars to you.

Funny article re: beige being ”back”; for you, and for all of (us) beige lovers out there. :)

https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/is-beige-back-you-might-be-surprised/

Great article. Currently, I am a fan of creamy colors. I want to stay away from taupe. For some reason I see pink especially with our current hardwood floors which will be refinished to a lighter color. Sienna sand, I think, is the color of our walls. Here's our kitchen that is connected to this room. Colors truly do not show well on my monitor. Our floor has a "cherry" stain to it. These pictures do not really show the red coming through.

The kitchen is nice. Creamy colors are good. I don’t know your plans for floor finish, but I think something along these lines could be nice.
