I think that lamp would be too short between sofa and chair. Is there some reason you don't want lamp tables w/lamps on both sides of couch? And then a piece of artwork above sofa. I am the one who keeps harping on round end tables for your room!! I did like the idea about a skinny mirror over small bench on that small wall. :)

I'm slightly opposed to round tables on both sides because that space in between the couch and chair is HUGE! What would I do with the extra space if I put a round table there?

I have to agree with the round tables. The chairs are so boxy, and I think a rounder shape would be a great element to add to the room. Square would just be more of the same. And I think that a slightly taller lamp there would be better as well.

I guess from my perspective, it doesn't look like that big of a space! You can have space around your furniture pieces. I don't think your room looks that big, which is why I didn't like the suggestion of moving the couch down the wall. But then I am going by a snapshot. I'll post a pic of my two tables so you can see the room around them. I am looking to replace mine with round and a 30 inch diameter fits well. Let me know what you think! :)

A large round table between the two sofas would be great. The height of the table needs to be just an inch or two lower or higher than the arm of the sofa.

Here's a big fat round table that would look good.

Then put a lamp like a ceramic with some color and add some books or magazines.

The space is 40in by 50in and the arms of the chair are 30in tall. I really haven't had any luck finding a tall enough table for that

You don't have to fill the entire space. Start shopping in consignment, used, antique, Salvation Army stores; you might not like exactly how it is but you can paint it. I think a round table with a patterned tablecloth on it, then lamp placed on books would soften all the hard angles you have in your space and add necessary color.

What about these curtains?

Is there room for curtain panels behind the chair with it in front of the window? Curtains will change how that corner looks, too. I do like these as they offer a wonderful pattern for the area.

Can the chair angle even just a bit to get rid of some of the squareness there?

I like the first draperies. Softer...

If you put round table there get a shorter lamp 2-3 ft with a drum style shade. Just corner table put a stainless steel floor lamp on other end. Believe me get a 24-36 round table no higher than bottom or middle of arm. Put some color in lamp. And accessories. Window panels on end. Go a Ikat design. In a color. Try turquoise. In panels and lamp. Coffee table should be square or round big 36" or a big ottoman on a print.

The table can be 25" or higher but not higher than arm. A big lamp and other items will fill area nicely. After you put window covers on will look more finish.

Ck TJMax for all. Great price. Should get a table for less than $100. Lamps less than that.

I actually was able to move the chair around a little bit! I was thinking the navy curtains, plus round end table, and still maybe a floor lamp? I will post my other idea pics.

That angle of the chair already makes a huge difference. Does it work to keep that angle and slide it down a bit so the arms are not touching? Can't you just see a throw over the side of it, a pillow and a table for a book??? I am thinking you should easily be able to find a nice big round table at consignment shops and on craigslist that will fit your budget and your room. LOVE the one you pictured!!!

And how nice, too, that I see an outlet on that wall in that area, so no worries about plugging in a lamp.

Table lamp for other side of couch/art/corner floor lamp

The tripod lamp does not leave room for a table surface as it takes up the allocated space. Would prefer to see this great piece in an open area where the great lines can be enjoyed

I could always put the tripod lamp on the other side of the couch, and just have the one table and blue table lamp in between the couch and chair???

LOVE blue and brown together, especially the blues you are looking at.....notice how nice yellow works, too?

YES........floor lamp alone on the left edge of the couch and the lamp on a table in the middle.

I have a problem with the beige carpeting, too. If you can't rip it out and replace it with hardwood flooring, can you at least get a nice area rug to add some interest?

You need a reference to your leather furniture in any artwork you choose, so make sure there is that camel/caramel color in it.

"You need a reference to your leather furniture in any artwork you choose, so make sure there is that camel/caramel color in it." That shouldn't be hard to do!

On the other hand, that's the difference between a room that a designer does and one in which the person is an actual art collector. Those of us who are fortunate to own works of art, whether they are signed prints or originals, don't try and "match" our art to our furniture.

How big is the room these couches are in? For some reason, I have the feeling they swallow the room, and it's a shame, because these couches have a nice, comfortable Restoration Hardware (now "RH") look. Maybe look at their website for some inspiration?

I bought the drapes on the right in taupe and brown-they are rich and give an elegant look. The lighter background would likely give you more of a contemporary and playful look. So I am saying that you have to decide what image you want this room to have.
