are you adding any inspo photos? What light fixture were you considering?

Do you need a buffet or cabinet for storage? How about just artwork on the wall? Any window coverings? You don't like the color of the rug? What colors do you like?

Somehow extra photos didn’t attach. Here is the light I was thinking

We do use the buffer to store kids crafts, pencils etc.
yes, I will heed curtains!
Rug - I got it a while ago to hide the stains for kids messes. I just want something new. We are a blank law canvas right, all I have is a couch. Updating everything else!

We have a blue sectional. Need help with everything else lse! 🫣

Thanks for sharing! Since you have 12-foot ceilings, I’d definitely suggest adding a large piece of art to that wall—it’ll help anchor the space and add some personality. A statement light fixture sounds like a great idea too, especially with those tall ceilings. You’ve got a lot of potential here! Once you choose the new buffet or cabinet, it can also help guide the overall style. Happy to throw more ideas your way if you’re leaning toward a certain vibe (modern, cozy, minimal, etc.)!

Your space needs TEXTURE. I'd add drapery panels that pick up one of the colors in the rug

I'd select a decorative mirror for over the buffet. Not a clear mirror so much as one that has a design

Add sconces along side the mirror

Select a linear fixture with a shade for over the table and chairs.

The cabinet under the TV is sort of pottery barn style. Do you like that style? It is a bit high for the TV. What about placing that in your buffet area and lowering the TV.

I'd find a piece of artwork you love for above the buffet. Then base your rug and curtain colors off of that.

The chandelier you posted will look fine with your table and chairs. If you choose that fixture, I'd get a slightly more modern looking buffet than the style that is there now.

Your blue sofa is an easy color to match so many things with - browns, greens, yellows, reds, orange, they all look good with blue.

Kendrah, it was a Paula Dean (?) tv console. We’ve had it for 10 years, and I’m kinda over it. I want to replace that too. I want something a little (just a little) more modern. But not TOO modern. :) We are an “average” family with kids. Not super stylish or talented in design unfortunately. We do need storage for kids games, board games etc. I don’t like super traditional style, but something transitional in between. Not farm house.

I thought about moving the tv console, but it measures a little too deep and too big for the table corner.

Poovi Art, i think we are a “I don’t know how to decorate” family style. Not traditional, not too modern, not farmhouse.
I love moody and dramatic, but we want the living room/kitchen be a light open space. I did paint a dark green wall in our piano room, and got green velvet chairs. It will be a mix of green, wood, bronze type light fixture.

But the living room/kitchen I am completely blank. Especially the giant tv wall. I used to have floating shelves on both sides of the tv, but I am over those… want something new. Any ifeas are welcome!

I'm not particularly fond of your choice of chandelier simply because of the glare with the clear glass.

For me the light above the table will be the star so choose one that lights the table not the ceiling and rectangular shape , maybe a little bling. I think you need a longer buffet and really fab pice of art above it so go check out galleries if you want to start investing in orignals or go on Art.com for ones that often come in different sizes and go big

I like BevFLAdeziner’s tall mirror with sconces on either side. We did exactly that in our vacation condo - it reflects light back into the room. Panes with beveled edges create enough “distortion” that no one is seeing themselves reflected back as they are eating at the table.
