I pulled up the rug and moved the sofa and and bookcases between the arches. I think it looks a little better...I'm looking forward to adding a new rug and add some fun pillows. Like the Galbraith & Paul and orange pillow with branches . If the wall is open, do I add a large picture still and was thinking about adding bench like Hillgrove suggested along one of the walls. Still working with it but it's improving!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
