I would agree that the pictures are too small. A larger picture over the couch, maybe one that is horizontal, would work better. The coffee table looks a little bulky but its ok. What are you looking for on the TV? I recessed mine into the wall (and put a frame around it) which frees up all kinds of space and has reduced clutter. I live in a small house so it really helps. And its clean looking so I recommend that approach if its doable.

Agreed. Pull the sofa away from the window seat, add some other colors with throw pillows and an area rug.

Just not a lot of room. If I move the sofa back it would be in the hallway.

I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like a pretty open space, can you fave the sofa toward the window seat/across from it?

Face

Yes...the pictures are too small and too high.

The Tv stand to the wall behind the sofa is only about 8 ft. If i put the sofa accros from the wall it would block a door. Not a lot of space.

My wife wants a new coffee table. What color would you recommend. Round is OK too.

Pictures above the sofa are too small, but you could all additional art/photos to create a gallery wall there. Or replace with something larger. Also, the tiebacks on the drapes make the window treatments look dated, so I would remove those.

Here are a few of my favorite coffee tables that I think would look great in your space.

Yes, I have the problem where I am in Taipei and my wife wants to bring her family over and she needs a big coffee table. They all sit around the coffee table and eat various dishes. I thought

she was going out to get a small table and she came back with a bigger table. I did get her to remove the odd things from the TV area. I sent up some more pictures. Room is really 8ft x 9ft. Property is really expensive in Taipei:(

Yes, pull the sofa away from window seat as much as is possible. Pictures, there need to be more or bigger and should be hung much lower. Enjoy!

I try, but my wife keeps pushing it back:) She usually ties up the drapes too. The sofa might be a tad too big. I can't replace it as it was a gift.

I like the new table!

I will get a new picture soon. I looked around today but saw nothing I liked. I will search again tomorrow. Waiting for the right piece.

The pictures are fine; they just need to be lowered and moved closer together. The curtains look sloppy. I'd replace them with shades. I like the table your wife chose. You could use a rug, possibly square, to sit under it. In this case I'd probably leave a border of floor all around the rug instead of setting the sofa on it.

I think the curtains look sloppy too. I came home one day and they were on. (not a fan) I could pick up a small rug. Not sure what color would match. I believe my wife bought more pillows. I will take a picture tomorrow with the new pillows. ( I believe a they are a beige color.) I want to thank you all for the help....:)

yes, simplify, dont add more, move the pictures, love the seagrass, somehow expands the room. take out the "fluff" looks great. a rug will really help. possibly some floor pillows?

That rug posted by groveraxle is a great choice! Look for something with similar colors as it really warms up the space and then choose 1 or two colors from the rug you find to use in throw pillows. Also love the woven shade versus the curtains. Brings a lot of texture into the room and opens up the small space. I think you've got some great advice!

Matchstick shades would be far better than curtains. Ha, just saw matchstick already offered. So you've heard it twice.

TV is good height.

I forgot to add this earlier. This is from a store in Taipei. They had a number of pretty cool rugs that would work.

Thanks for all the help. I need to stay with the curtains. My wife would through herself if I took them down. She also doesn't want a rug. She does Yoga in front of the TV. She wanted a table she can move. I love all the suggestions, but since I live in a world that doesn't include only me, I will have to go with curtains and no rug. I will get a new picture when the time is right. Thanks for all the help.

I can change the pictures and add pillows.

can you have her sew or shorten the curtains so they fit the window correctly... that will help. then lets move the smaller art to new walls and get something with some pop over the sofa.

All items from IKEA. White Round table, area rug in either green or grey, button rug for wall, new colorful pillows. Paint the wall behind the TV to a contrasting accent color.

I like the first art you had better. They add just the amount of color you need. The new art is pretty blah, IMO.

you added brown tones to a gray pallet, not much else. I agree I like the old art. and less is more on the window. the simple fabric color is fine, but this is why subtle hits of color are needed. I dont mind the space. I get it, there is not a lot so being cohesive is good. here are some ideas, just thoughts, you need some plants, some texture, and a little color. this is all ikea.

I'd say fluffy area rug under the coffee table. The large painting is nice. I might also consider adding some textile color pops here and there. Not so much pattern but rather texture and color. Maybe even consider putting a fluffy or colorful fabric on the length of the TV table.

(You posted two pictures 6 hours ago, Those were the best in my opinion. The only thing that bugs me is the Tv table, hence fabric idea)

I think a box pleated cushion, like the Rohini daybed cushion from Urban Outfitters, would look great on the window seat. Judging by the colours you and your wife have chosen already, I would stick with earth tones. I cannot make out the exact frame around the window seat; is it possible to hang curtains on the outside of the window seat? That might be a little less cluttered for you.

Maybe add sconces to your TV wall for additional lighting? The image is from our design portfolio.
