    Please start by lowering that TV alot. The center of the screen should be at eye level when you are seated. As for new furniture we need a lot more info , starting with the style you like and how many seats you need in the space .. Sp ics showin gthe whole space and a to scale floor plan showing all windows doorways and where the doorways lead too. You need a wider cabinet for the TV size

    It’s a nice room. And I love the mirror over the fireplace!!

    I don’t know what color the walls are now, and what direction you would like to go, style-wise, etc.

    If you are just looking to brighten the space, here I just added a natural fiber/jute rug - and a more substantial lamp, with a whiter shade plus a touch of gold.



    It would be good if you can possibly lower the tv down - closer to your console. You have a large tv; so proportionately, a console that is a bit wider would probably be good. But I really like your current console, and honestly I’d just keep it. It can definitely work fine with your tv. And since the Houzz *tv console police* will not be showing up at your house - - I would really not worry about any. of. that ! :)

    I would look for a rug or art for over the FP first. That will give you colors to look for in the furniture. The art should be no wider than the firebox (the mirror is too large). The TV is too high for comfortable viewing. Lower it and get a TV console that is 25% wider than the TV.

    What are the room's dimensions?

    TV is mounted too high

    Drapers are mounted too low

    Add an area rug

    Add art on the wall behind the sofa

    Add a tree next to eh sliding door

    Unless you are going to change your fireplace surround, the surround and your floors are the fixed elements once you remove everything else. The surround looks creamy and the floor slightly gray. Blue would work with those colors. If this room is open to another room you should also be considering what colors are in that room as well.


    I think looking for a rug first is a good idea. Most furniture stores will have sofas available in about a dozen solid colors so you should be able to find one that goes with the rug. Measure what you have currently before going to the store and think about whether it is the right size for the space. This is your opportunity to get something larger or smaller if that would be an improvement. If you're able to patch the hole in the wall when moving the TV, definitely move it down or just put it on a new console. Pick your wall color last as there are hundreds of different paint colors to choose from. You will have plenty of time to paint while you wait for your new furniture to arrive.

    With your angled fireplace, I think four chairs might work very well should you decide to replace your furniture. A round rug would elimate the odd angles a rectangular rug makes with your fireplace.

    Drapes look skimpy. I would go with two panels on each side. And lower TV.

    Feels like too much furniture for the space . Perhaps you could move tv over fireplace & get rid of the console under it. Then place the 2 accent chairs side by side , perpendicular to the sofa
