A new updated living room corner help!

last year

I am getting a new sofa (yet to be chosen). Figure it would be a good time to get rid of my antique table in the corner. But its a good size space so not sure what to do with it. The lamp isn’t used for reading, just to illuminate the corner at night. The tv is in another room. The current sofa is 78”. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    the photos don't show enough of the space, But, I would pull the sofa out of the corner of the room more.

    What does that window wall look like? is it a patio door? a view?

    if not a TV viewing room, a conversation area? reading by the fire?

    How many people do you need to seat? Why are you replacing the sofa?

    Is gray the tone you love for the space?

    Is this room off the kitchen?

    Nice windows opposite sofa. Patio doors next to that. We are in a townhouse condo so have small deck and quite nice view in summer when trees are full out back. This room is adjacent and open to kitchen. we use room to read, listen to music and when we have company. ideally seating 6-8. Sofa is leather and starting to show wear. I think with all the grey in the room, a light cream sofa would be best? Fireplace is fairly new. Thanks!

    The corner definitely needs light but also a place for a drink next to the chair? The people sitting on the sofa can use coffee table for drinks. Looking to somehow modernize that corner. wondering about a table/lamp combo?

    What is your vision for the space. Are you going modern eclectic?



    I love a round table in a corner for placing a good sized table lamp about 24-30" tall See below. i don't mind mixing styles. The wood adds some warmth to the room.



    Honestly I'd select an English Saddle Arm sofa for this room or a sofa similar in style.




    Select a better light to highlight the art over the mantle.

    I like the antique table. It’s a good size for the space and adds a layered look. The mix of the shiny leather sofa and dark, heavy leather chair is more problematic. Since you’re in the market for a new sofa, choose a nice fabric instead of leather, and then replace the chair with something smaller, in a lighter shade of leather like cognac. This one by West Elm would be a fun update, and a much lighter look.

    Thank you for the very helpful advice. I love the table with the larger lamp. Will definitely be looking for a fabric sofa.
