It's way too cluttered in there. The first thing I would do is get rid of that small 1/2 wall with the 2 seats, I can;t see how it would be useful at all. If there is a counter in front of that wall get rid of that also then at least the space will open up between the kitchen and I guess thats a little eating area in front of the sliding doors I then would rearrange the living room. Right now it looks like you have a couch that is almost acting like a wall between the living room and eating area. That couch is breaking up the flow pattern and also making the place feel cramped. I would move the TV where that wall that separates the kitchen is (The L shaped stagger wall) Move the large couch where the TV is now and the smaller one opposite where it is now. So now when someone walks in they walk into an open area and it has a nice flow to all three areas. Also get rid of that Pallet table, go with something with a glass top, so while it is functional it's not overwhelming like that way too large pallet table

All the suggestions above are perfectly good. However, when you have a house that is entirely painted, the options are so endless that it's easy to get stuck. I'd advise either finding photos of comparable homes in colors that you really love, and reproducing a similar palette on your home… or upload a picture of your house to a colorizing site, and play around with various combos. Sherwin Williams has a Color Visualizer that is decent. I don't mind a white house, but feel that the black trim is a bit harsh. On the railing especially- it feels like it is outlining itself too much. Reduce the contrast between the body and the rail and it will enhance the house rather than overwhelm it. You have a lot of choices, so just experiment and go with what resonates with you.

I'd like to suggest that the most important thing here is more about who is using the room. If It's a child's bedroom use lovely children's curtains - there's so much around and any pattern could pick up the wall and floor colours. If a guest room and not used often I'd suggest a beautiful velvet or good quality Linen and forbid the little ones from going in to that room!!!!!! alternately a blind attached at floor level could be raised or lowered so the view is still there but with privacy from waist height perhaps. Good luck. Bee

I was thinking maybe a pergola so that you can still enjoy the sun when necessary but have a small area where you can just relax with your family. What were you thinking?
