How about just painting the walls and the carpet or is this a rug and also change the orientation of the sofa

What a beautiful room with wonderful wood features. Just painting the window trim will look odd and break up the flow. You'd probably feel better about the room if you changed the wall paint--it's an odd shade--and changed out the rug. Here's a Houzz article about paints that go well will wood features.

Think about a patterned rug like the one in this photo to echo the wood and your upholstered furniture. The small rug you overlayed is right, too, but a much, much larger one would really upgrade the room.

I can't tell the shape of your sectional, but if it's possible to turn it to face both the window and the TV, and fireplace, it would be more functional and give people seating to look at your lovely greenery outside. You've got great light there, so think about adding a large dramatic plant in front of the window in a great earthen pot. Plants that face outdoor greenery pull the eye forward and connect to the outdoors.

Consistency is typically an advantage with design. I would do all your trim white, especially since the windows themselves appear to be white vinyl. Fireplace could stay wood if you want to keep some wood tones as could interior doors.

I agree with @HALLETT & Co.

I would not paint the fireplace surround, but wondering why you want to paint the trim?

EDIT. looks like children, I understand kids clutter, but there is plenty of your clutter in that space as well.

You can probably remove those white window grids, which break up the view. The wood trim better connects to the outdoors than any white trim would. At least try that. This seems to be a Dilemma about a problem that can be solved by fixing other problems-- possible layout change.=, removing window grids, new wall paint in an ivory, large patterned rug,

West Elm rug in ivory, gray, brown to echo floor and reddish wood trim. This is a fantastic rug.https://www.westelm.com/products/fieldscape-shag-rug-t6197/?cm_src=wsipipentry&recstrat=View-View-1-CHLG%7CVCB-GRP-AFF-QNT-CHLG

I agree, the wood trim should stay. It does connect better to the outdoors, and you have a nice view. Just doing window trim, wouldnt look good anyway. You actually have some very nice trim. Walls need painting, and I agree, the rug should be changed.

Don't paint the trim. Beside it not lasting, it will look off.

Need photos of fireplace wall and the wall behind sofa. Here's how to post Design Dilemmas for best results:

Here is how to post a Design Dilemma to get the best results. You need to show the whole space—all four sides of an entire space—even if it’s about one specific Dilemma.

Keep in mind that you're inviting some design pros and people with a design eye into your home via photos. If they walked into your actual space, they would take in all of it: all four sides, doorways, floors, windows, ceiling, built-in fixtures, lighting, trim--the "givens"--then the features that can be changed--furnishings, paint, art, rugs, decor items, etc. It's all one first impression. Same thing with photos. That's why it's important to provide well lit photos of the entire space, taken from all sides of a room regardless of the size of your problem.

The white rug/carpet is throwing things off. Craftsman style homes with their lovely wood features do better with earthier colours, like those in your small rug.

Thank you all for your input.. we will end up keeping trim the way it is and paint the walls white... looking for the perfect large rug for the space

@housegal200 heres a couple more pics

@housegal200 the house was built in 2009 so its very beige.. we're going for a crisp white on walls and ceilings. And I like color.. so sage green for fireplace and bookshelf area?

Since the window sashes are already white, I think the trim around the windows could also be painted white while leaving the rest of the trim the natural, but I think it looks fine with the casings matching the rest of the trim. I don't think either would be incorrect since the windows are already half and half.

I do think that that if I did this the window casing and the walls and the existing white window sash would all have to be the same white.

What do you mean to achieve by painting just the window treatment white, though?

Thanks for the photos. Some ideas for now and down the road when kids are a little older:

--Choose your white carefully--not too stark but a warm white like some of those suggested in the Houzz link provided above.

--Remove window grids now to get full, unobstructred view.

--Move TV to where wine rack cabinet is. Take down shelf over sofa. Replace all the bitty decor items and art with a couple dramatic large art works over fireplace and over sofa in these palettes:

--Get a larger version of rug you have or like the others suggested in this thread--a palette of ivory, gray, reddish brown to echo trim and floors.

--Replace the big gray chair with two smaller swivel chairs in an accent color from new art work for TV watching and facing the window view.

Be careful when choosing the shade of white paint for the walls. Whether you paint the window trim or not, you still have warm wood trim elsewhere, and warm wood floors, so look for a warm white, not a blinding, cool white.

I just noticed you asked about painting fireplace sage green--hope you don't do that. I would leave all wood alone, especially the fireplace, and get your color in with pillows and one or two accents The wood is a connector for your other choices where you can go crazy if you want. Here are some rugs and art that harmonize with wood, floors, sofa but have sage green. These pairings are for palettes to look for in gray, warm reddish brown, elements of sage green. #2 photo is a great rug. (Tip: order smallest version of rug to test out colors before ordering a large one.)

@housegal200 i love this look.. but i appreciate your input

I would not paint the fireplace, and the statement paint is reversible, is probably true, but, you will never get the finish back on that wood that you have now, and it would also be a whole lot of work, and take many days and then many more trying to get it to even look half way decent.
