What a great-looking fireplace! Love it.

I’m impressed no one has ever painted any of it.

I’d let the trim work be the focal point and keep things simple. Maybe a leaning piece of art, and candlesticks (or sculptures or other decor).

Imagine these as leaning:

Or no art, and just other decor. Pottery, candles, etc.

Have you ever tried your white vase on there? Maybe on the left side and candlesticks on the other?

Omg gorgeous!!!!

Hard to see your furniture.

I’d bring in blues and whites.

And maybe add curtains…

Can you step back and try to get a picture without tilting the camera up?

So beautiful! I would only add a beautiful mantle clock.

Bigger picture. Advice opinions welcome

Your dog looks soooo guilty!!

So funny - she was hesitant to take her toy off the table. 😂

IMO there is enough stuff in the room. Remove everything from the hearth and leave the mantle bare or just 1 piece of art like in @Jilly last picture

for me, its the lighting, I love the wheel chandeliers, the bulbs are wrong too blue and reflecting in the wood, aslo they dont have the umph the fireplace does. I would get lamp shades for them to give some volume, help push light down, eliminate reflection and fill some of the void.

Id consider drape panel and wood shades for balance, loose the matching plants and lamps.

thank you all for your input! i've never seen the 'mock up' feature before. that's amazing!!!

I would remove that mirror to the right of the tv and lean it on the mantle to see how it looks..size May be perfect..nothing to loose…add some drapes..such a nice space…I think you might have too many sets of items..2 trees..two lamps..2 chars..two sconces..2 Chandeliers… I would remove one of the chairs..the one left of the fireplace…keep the one on the right with floor lamp..I think the trees need to go..love the chandeliers and the wall sconces….a square or round coffee table would be really nice to have a more balanced look…maybe add a huge real tree in a gorgeous basket or pot in the corner right of the tv once chair is removed..

Do you have two sofas or is it a sofa and loveseat?

sofa, loveseat, 2 chairs. i regreet picking such a neutral palette. i was afraid to commit to color. but now everything is just brown..... love the couches (ethan allen). the second the wingback chairs arrived (ethan allen) i knew it was a mistake. with a high ceiling i wanted a tall chair - but these are not particularly comfortable. so we never use them.....

be honest - are the topiary trees out of date now? and i have always hated the floor lamps, but they provide uplight. when i've tried reading lights it's too dark.

I do love Ethan Allen but agree higher back chairs would have been nice….can you move the sofa to face the fireplace and love seat to face the tv…it will widen your layout and I think the chairs will look better if you keep both of them..bring them in closer in front of fireplace…put your two ottomans side by side on the open side of your coffee table….Well I love all neutral my entire home is neutrals but with added black accents to provide contrast..I think that is all you need..you have great pieces no worries just need to move things around…maybe some new pillows.

This is my family room..see how the chairs are pulled in more..you could add a small round table, ottoman or nothing

that's a beautiful room! black is such a valuable color. the hint of blue in the carpet is nice.

The topiaries are ok..they add a more traditional…French country vibe…maybe just one and add a basket or ceramic pot as the base.

I do think your floor lamps are too short for this room…what are you willing to change?

The rug is all black and white no blue…but with your warm neutral sofas bringing in more dark blue would help.

interesting - the floor lamps are too short??? I have struggled with the darn height and shade size for 9 years. I dislike when seated seeing the bulb.

I want to keep the couches no matter what. the chairs I can repurpose in the house if i have to.

the couch is placed the longer length of the room. I could *try* it the other way but it would be tight. we actually removed a 1/4 circle bar that jutted out into the room in that corner to even fit the loveseat!

i'm open to curtains - could be a nice pop of color. happy to do pillows and lighting. would love to feel like the room is "done". it lacks feeling balanced and too much clutter.

Yes try sofa the other way….. Quick layout…to try!

Center everything to the fireplace

will do! i'll get my furniture sliding pucks out and enlist my husband. ;-)

Wonderful! Love those sliders! Here is just a quick idea board to add depth…

thank you!!

Black idea board

Is your tv console cabinet black?

yes, RH. 9' long.

so grateful! and you're FAST.

You could use a bigger TV. (Hubby would go for that!). Agree on lighting suggestions by RL. Lots of good ideas.

Love RH…great quality…we have one from RH in our family room too! Yes you need to embrace the black!…you can see it to the right of the fireplace.

it is such a great piece!

agree on tv size as well.... unforrtunately, husband doesn't care. :-(

where's your go-to for curtain panels? Ballard? PB? RH?

No worries…. that is good..my husband wants the tv too big!

I wouldn't add art to the fireplace wall...it is art in itself. What the room does need is a tiered chandelier. Hung, it will have the fireplace mantel/wall as a back drop.

can I please just say, get the lamp shades for the chandy's and no the floor lamps are not to small, and up light is NOT reading light. If you want reading light, get a floor lamp reading light it puts light where you need it and is non intrusive. I'm sorry but I just cant with some of the lighting suggestions. Going taller with floor lamps will not help reading. getting an adjustable floor lamp with a pharmacy shade, is infact for reading. Visually it is not going to stick out like a sore thumb.

interesting - the floor lamps are too short??? I have struggled with the darn height and shade size for 9 years. I dislike when seated seeing the bulb.

Jennifer Ballard has beautiful curtain panels lined and offer some with nice trims/banding. So many readymade choices available..I do like Halfpricedrapes.com too

These are from Etsy.com and this reading task lamp from RH would be nice next to the chair you use for reading…small but does the trick…your tripod lamps are just not working in the space a taller floor lamp in the room for ambient light at night instead of over head would be nice too…

I love the fireplace as it is. I don't actually see a shelf on the mantel, so I don't think candle holders will work and adding them on the ends would be out of balance.

What the fireplace is screaming for are andirons and a screen that fits better:

3P33M Solid Brass Rope Casting 3-Fold Screen in Weathered Brass with Matching AR-AN10T 30" Tall Solid Brass Trafalgar Antique Reproduction Andirons.

1P48M Solid Brass Floral Casting Single Panel Screen in Weathered Brass with Matching AR-AN10T 30" Tall Solid Brass Trafalgar Antique Reproduction Andirons.

I think skip the chairs altogether and just put a bench under each window.

A new rug will go a looong way

Love the idea of adding black.

Very cozy room. But a lot of beige.
I think blue, white, black will break it up a bit.
