can someone help me with this room?

27 days ago

I am looking for help making this room better! It is 18x20’ but has a lot of walk ways. (2 from kitchen, one from foyer and one from hall)
love my leather recliners and prefer to not get rid of them. (They are large 45” wide and 40” deep. I’m open to alternative couch, possibly a sectional. We have a large extended family and I like to have plenty seating for everyone. I hate the corner fireplace, but have to live with it. I painted it same as wall for it to blend in and not be a focal point.
I also originally planned a gallery wall for around the tv, but haven’t figured out best way to do it.
Ready for a new rug too.
Want to add end tables and lamps.
Any
help is appreciated; pictures or sketches are helpful. Thanks in advance.

    Geez, if could have only turned the phone sideways for a couple of the pictures. It's hard to piece together all the partial images.

    So none of the seating was selected to work together visually, huh?

    I really like the chairs. I would replace the two sofas in something that compliments them. Then I would get a larger rug and focus on adding layers like end tables, lamps, sofa table etc. I think a sectional in this case won’t add anything. You have quite a bit of seating with the layout you have and the issue to me is that the sofas dont go super well with Tue chairs. The cream one isn’t bad.

    The furniture we have was purchased to fit a previous home. Just trying to make what I can work. Not married to couches. Quick sketch to demonstrate full layout.

    You need lamps so that you can turn off those overhead lights. Tables with lamps, floor lamps., etc. Paint a richer color, add colorful accessories, etc.

    The room should be arranged for function. Is tv watching for 2 or 8 people? Every day, once a week, once a month?

    The chairs are huge so the sofas , 2 BTW to amtch eachother will need to be a good fit with the giant chairs . Recliners always add another level to arrangement to allow for the foot rests and sometimes the tilt back , I would probably do 2 sofas perpendiculat like an L and the 2 chairs SXS with a table in between then one end table to serve both sofas nd a squae coffee table reachable for the sofas . I often just ignore coerner FPS they have always made me crazy .Of course lighting I sometimes love an arc lamp to light the middle of a space . I would nver do agallery wall around a TV but that wall painted a draker color maybe.

    You have high ceilings and in my opinion the proportions of the room would look better if you painted the ceiling cornice/molding where the wall and the first tier of the ceiling meet in a dark or bright color.

    2 adults live here daily. Can someone show me a picture with idea for end tables and lamps?
    Would it be a better space if I removed the blue couch and put a credenza under the TV?
    What about the empty corner where I have the triptych? Should I put the triptych over the fireplace?
    Should I paint the brick around the fireplace a different color?
    What color rug would be better?
