Fresh eyes can sometimes help and what stood out to me was that the room feels busy and imbalanced. I think once the room is edited, it will be easier to decide how to address the sides.
These are just ideas and can be done slowly. Hope it helps.
Would the secretary fit on wall next to the doorways? It‘s such a lovely piece and might be more appreciated on its own.



You would then have a blank slate to address the sides. Looking on line for ideas might help.

Edit nicknacks and items over couch and piano.





After the room is where you want it, add your art back in

Plan is to get an electric fireplace insert



If you haven’t started…a couple of thoughts:
Assume it’s a highly used room; have you looked into the cost of LVP? Its upkeep/durability vs carpeting (especially if it‘s on the light side) would be a better choice.
If you haven’t decided to paint one or two shades, maybe paint the entire room one color and if you don’t like, just paint the lower half (not dark)… complement/tie in the fireplace and flooring. The key is considering the big picture.





I think @Maureen gave you good painting advice - do one color now and then see if you want to change the bottom to a different color later.



Think about…extending your flooring there which will eliminate the need for a transition strip and look seamless. There are all kinds of durable vinyl mats in great patterns and many are offered in custom sizes.

Choose a color/pattern that works with your home and suggest painting the door (even the entire space) and add art.


You’ll have a welcoming and practical entrance.


For anyone who is planning on using LVP...
My son just chose new LVP. He needed a waterproof floor, and it does exist in LVP. The grooves interlock and seal.

Consider looking for a lighter wood-look tile and do it in a herringbone pattern so it doesn’t look like you were trying to match the wood. It could be done in a beige tile too.


It’s such a big decision. Have you seen any color combos in your neighbour that you are drawn to? What about going a bit bolder and test options with an on-line Paint Visualizer.



Emily’s AI pic looks amazing

The more up front research you do (dimensions, functionality, design, cost), the easier the choice will be. Look on line and save ones you are drawn to and save. Maybe head to some stores and test when kitchen is almost finished before committing.

I like the backs of these as they mimic the island’s base. Contemporary/transitional (on Wayfair).


The minimum recommended overhang (clear leg/knee space)based on counter height:
- Table-height (30" off the finished floor): 18"
- Counter-height (36" off the finished floor): 15"
- Bar-height (42" off the finished floor): 12" Note, however, that if you plan to eat at a bar-height counter the top surface should be at least 18" deep to allow for dishes, glasses, etc., and minimize the risk of knocking something off the back of the counter while eating.
These minimums are for short-to-average height people with average leg lengths. For tall people or people with long legs, add 3" to the above.
Not only are these the NKBA recommended minimums, but my personal experience has proven they're correct. Unless you plan to only sit at the counter for a few short minutes (<10 mins), 12" is too shallow for counter-height seating - I know from experience!

i would choose a low back swivel like Bombo od Onda in a color

If you haven’t already purchased the mirror, I’d go a bit smaller (I’m not a fan of either light). Even consider styles that are more complementary in a narrow space.


Thank you so much Boss!

Avoid overhead lighting in the bathroom. It does very nasty things to wrinkles. Figure out a way to put sconces on the side walls.

Without seeing the working part of your kitchen, it’s hard to provide relevant examples. In general..work with its style. If open to painting/stripping the set, more options open up. Look to create warmth/interest/personality by adding wallpaper and even consider painting the dining set. That area could be so cute.


This is the "other" side of the kitchen!


And no to workstation but of course it won't be there for family events and such!!!

Your best bet is to get test pots and note how the colors feel during the day and with the lights on. The colors’ effects will be more accurate to compare and then decide.

Wallpaper is a nice way to bring together the different colors. Lots of design styles to choose from. This one is a Mid Century style from Happy Wall


^^^ Adding the wallpaper looks nice - however, notice how AI has changed the color of the shower tile.
The Archaia tile is available in two gray colorways:

Which grey do you have?

No reason not to. But…even though it will suit the LR, will it do justice/enhance the room and do you think you’ll tire of in two rooms.
If you‘d like help deciding, provide a picture of the rug and the LR and you may get suggestions that might give you second thoughts.

I would try the smaller BR rug in the LR first to make sure it looks good, before buying a larger one.

totally fine, nobody's doing a rug audit. the only thing i'd watch is scale. a rug that works in a bedroom under the foot of the bed usually needs to be bigger in a living room so the front legs of the sofa and chairs sit on it. if the pattern is calm, using it twice just reads as a consistent look across the house.

I wouldn’t add, as the distance to couches looks tight and may feel too cramped/cluttered. To create interest and balance, hope below helps. Room will benefit by additional lighting and drapery will help fill in the other side.


If the shelves are a similar white like the chimney, a couple of them on either side will work. (I’m having trouble uploading photos to Houzz since updating it. )

I like the idea of a plant and floor lamp. There doesn't seem to be much lighting in the space and I think a lamp would be a good idea. Maureen's rendering is the same as I was thinking.

Instead of only focussing on the cushions, it’s important to consider the room as a whole. You might not like the actual choices below, but hope the concepts help.
1. Don’t fight with the rug…it’s important to work with it, while still considering the couch (suggest dark blue).

The trim on these will work well with the couch.


2. Less can be more and suggest only two cushions and a throw. Choose cushions first and test different throws.

3. Accessories can do wonders in pulling a room together.




Maybe one of the lighter blues in the rug.

The issue with the darker blues is that they are solid AND dark. It gives a more heavy look that absorbs anything else around it. Hence the reason the striped blues or any other lighter shade ( mustard or a white pillow or even coral) etc would go better. I would stick with a mustard or ochre shade and one that has a different pattern than what you have and /or a solid that Is not so off from your original yellow and beige pillow.
The good thing about pillows is they're cheap and easy to play around with!

Save inspiration rooms that you like, start to narrow down a preferred look and define seating needs in both rooms. The furniture decisions come first and you’ll then have a better sense on what to do with the fireplace and accessories that suit.
If it were me, I’d reduce the heaviness of the fireplace, fill in the two wall sections below and be sure to consider this room’s volume so pieces don’t feel lost.


Do a search on Houzz, Google or ChatGPT to get some ideas.

Can you show a picture of your idea of a transitional cottage style? Given the room is anything but, how you incorporate may be difficult. Have you considered hiring an interior decorator to create a plan? Consider how much you are willing to do and your budget. Are these examples of the look you lean towards and if so, the fireplace will need more than a different paint color.




I’m not a fan of this version, as it will be harder to achieve a well balanced feel. If not accessoried well, the wallpaper will lose its effect.

It’s not the amount of paper that is seen, but how it and the accessories create interest, balance and have breathing room. Layer vs lining up and suggest using old books in various ways. Consider the big picture and the paper and room will benefit.



The earlier image I first rendered with the baskets in the bottom would be a perfect functional path for you then.
Just make sure they all look similar and not too distracting. A little more square than the ones in the image. Then let the tops be more open with staggered vases ( llike the yellow and green level)so the wallpaper shows.
Adding little labels in red or green can even tie the baskets to the wallpaper like it came together.

Suggest aiming for a more unified/calmer, modern feel. Both the wallpaper and the brick’s color are hampering that. Paint the brick and hearth the same color as the walls and the brass surround black (use the appropriate paint). Add large art and plants to balance the wall. Inexpensive, easy and will make a huge different.


With the money saved, consider drapery (Ikea has nice inexpensive options), a calm rug and cushions, and even a coffee table.



Yes, as was asked: are you open to painting or wallpaper? If he is hesitant for any number of reasons to do construction, how do you both feel about painting or wallpaper? As sometimes just a good wallpaper is enough to carry the wall ( and a nice painting)
If NO to painting, NO to construction and NO to wallpaper: IKEA has many good furniture that can be decorated how you want and act as standalone shelving.
A painting on the wall can carry the entire room if it has a lot of color. Mix throws and pillows with similar colors to it and a nice floor lamp with round forms can act as a distraction to the empty wall.

An example without removing anything ( left side frame can be moved elsewhere not shown here) and some artwork that will go well with your already teal fireplace






I'd want the softness of a rug, probably a dark-ish green (maybe a little warmer green than the floor tiles), and an ottoman or two for feet-up comfort and no sharp corners. Maybe lean the over-fireplace art on the mantel rather than hanging it? (Easy way to lower it.)

I might also move some of the left-most art pieces around the corner to the wall on the right, leaving empty wall behind a floor lamp in the far corner and creating a wrap-around art display over the sectional. Maybe consider a darker color for the wall above the wood? That would really highlight the white-matted art.
Can't see the rest of the room to know whether there's a better place for the TV and/or what other furnishings might be added.

I am on team no rug for the main seating area, that checkerboard floor is honestly the best thing in the room and a rug just hides it. We had a similar retro tile floor in our old basement and bare feet on cold tile got old fast, so I would put a small washable rug just under the coffee table instead, something solid in a muted terracotta. That way you get the warmth where you actually sit without covering up the pattern.

Perhaps you could find a suitable size and pattern on Etsy.



i love animal print - this one was in the mix with me for a while

Good choice on a going with a custom rug with this intense of a pattern. Much easier to change out down the road if you tire of the pattern than wall to wall carpet.
First one may be too close to leopard print. https://www.carpetsindalton.com/product/angora-by-kane-carpet/?srsltid=AYCX9vI-OwHXVqKJY_XSTz6kcmKT3y9I_FYiKT9B8MQQo9zfm18j7Ewq
The second one is more subtle pattern, but still has the colors you wanthttps://www.carpetexpress.com/king-cheetah-pid-179466-331.html



All the wood furniture needs an airy and light backdrop, so cream fabric in curtains, light olive/orange/cream painting ( lighter than this image here) will bring out the colors of the wood in the furniture and make it a very clean looking space, functional enough as an office.

Perhaps wait until room is furnished; think big picture before deciding on a rug as where/what/style furniture will dictate the rug’s size and design. The walls and carpeting are neutral enough to suit almost anything so base on the above items. May even decide a rug isn’t needed.


To continue/enhance the sleek, modern look, consider stainless and under cabinet lighting.

Below, but seamless.


Sylva, that puck-light trick is smart. Match it as closely as you can to the color temperature of the under-cabinet lights you’ll actually install; otherwise the tile may look warmer in your test than it will day to day. V2 means the variation is limited, not that every piece is identical, so lay several tiles together and check the veining and grout line against the quartz before ordering. The warm ivory direction sounds much closer to what you want than another gray.

A porcelain slab sounds best to me. Your kitchen is so sleek and peaceful, it needs a smooth backsplash. The mother-of-pearl idea sounds off. Something “quiet” that is barely there is better.

A dark blue would be nice, but whatever color you choose be sure to create a connection (don’t suggest wallpaper as the room’s configuration may make it feel too broken up). Suggest using art and a simple rug that doesn’t take away from the stone.




SW Ripe Olive



I'd narrow the built-in to a smoky navy or deep olive, then choose the stone before committing to paint. A warm, creamy stone could tie either color to the farmhouse table without making everything match. For wallpaper, I'd keep the pattern small and low-contrast above the wainscoting so it doesn't compete with the shelving. Try large painted sample boards beside the actual stone in daylight and with your chandelier on—dark blues can shift a lot.

Have you looked for inspiration on line…it might help narrow down a style. If interested, search “traditional chandelier“ on Pinterest. Also keep in mind size and height recommendations.





I'd keep the satin brass connection to your mirror and lamps, but simplify the shape: a clean six-arm chandelier with small linen shades would feel less dressy without fighting the table. I'd skip crystal and ornate scrollwork rather than switch metals just to make it casual. Since you see this room from the adjoining spaces, check the fixture from those doorways too. I'd start around 30–34 inches above the tabletop, then adjust for clear sightlines.


Etsy would have lots of choices and usually offers sizes and frame options.


One thing that will help the room feel like it flows is repeating the same natural materials in a few places - a linen runner, woven shades at the windows, and a warm wood or wrought-iron chandelier in your $500-600 range would tie the look together without changing any of the furniture. Pulling the wall color a little warmer would also cozy it up. I found some good rustic home decor ideas on Stylemora, which show how those pieces can come together in a room like yours.

Stylemora? thehometrotters blog?

It’s hard to suggest a rug, as there is a mix of colors and styles to consider. Noticed your blue lamp and because blue and yellow are very complementary, I started there. (Can’t really tell the color of the two chairs.)



So, the first step is to decide on your preferred color mix and look for a rug that pulls them together and accessories play a big part as well. If you want more specific examples, advise your style and color preferences. ChatGPT lightened things up, but may give you a sense.



Thanks everyone

Margaret, since the furniture is staying put, four folded towels can stand in for the corners of a new rug. Try the long side parallel to the sectional first, then turn the same rectangle a quarter turn. From the doorway, check which outline catches both chairs without putting a rug edge across your usual walk into the room. Measure that outline before you shop. With a $2,000 ceiling, I’d also check what it costs to return that exact size; sending back a room-size rug can change which of two options is the better buy.

Since it will be used as a bedroom and given the opening’s proximity to noise…maybe look into the cost of inserting drywall. If interested, get a few quotes as it shouldn’t be a big job if you are able to paint. It would also address the cold issue, plus look a lot better when you enter your home.


In addition, the drapes won’t do anything for sound. You need to think about soundproofing.

OP - has not responded to any of the suggestions!

Suggest aiming for a seamless look and if the roman blinds are similiar to the wall color…even better. Let the bedding and accessories draw the eye, and the windows will only be a simple backdrop.



Love examples from simplynatural and Maureen.

If having to stay in the DR, add various sized flameless candles and if house isn’t sold by December, maybe add boughs/mini lights.

Is there another room where it could go…a sunroom?


A pebble tray in the bottom with succulents, potted plants?

AI included a pothos gone wild, but that would take a while!

Fairy lights seem a bit tacky in such an elegant space I would do more proper lighting for sure and IMO a nice live fern looks great in a bird cage.

You can buy a table topper to increase your table diameter to seat 8 comfortably when entertaining. Heartland Table Pads are great (I ordered a pad last year and was very pleased):

I’d avoid arms for easier access, only having four might be detrimental and a straw seat will have a shorter life span/perhaps uncomfortable.
I’d keep looking and measure how many will actually fit. Assume you are looking at second hand chairs, so don’t discount ones in which you don’t like the fabric. Easy to change and you’ll end up with chairs that could be perfect in the room.




Suggest instead, just changing to lighter/more complementary bedding.


Thank you everyone. i have decided to keep bed for now and change paper to lighter more neutral sand color. and change beddinng. will post pics when done


I’d actually keep the wallpaper. To me, the alternative looks similar enough that changing it wouldn’t make much difference. What feels unfinished is the decorating around it. Some colour and wall decor could balance the yellow tone, and your blue pillows already make a lovely combination with it.
I’d consider painting the recessed squares in the ceiling above the bed a shade of blue, perhaps a lighter blue that ties in with the pillows and bedding, while keeping the beams white. Then I’d hang a painting above the bed. There doesn’t seem to be room on the right, but a narrow decorative wall piece on the left could help finish the space.
For more bedroom ideas, here’s our video showing one bedroom redesigned in three different styles, with different combinations of colour, lighting and decor: https://youtu.be/nEcPGozCbFY

Given the height of the ”nightstand” and the headboard, suggest the shorter of the two.

Maybe consider not matching the chandelier, but tie in the bedding and (assume) eventual art. A bit more color will add more warmth.




I got the rattan night stand and I love it. Its very pretty . I am just waiting on some hardware.
I may move the tall drawers to opposite wall between the windows. ( where it originally was all these years) Just waiting on makeup vanity to arrive tomorrow before deciding.
In the meantime, which lamp do you think is best?
the 24?


Or 27?



I like the 27. It seems more proportionate to the height of the headboard. I think the light would be better from it for someone who likes reading in bed.

The rug needs to ground the seating area and feel proportionate in room. Try taping out different sizes. I’d also look for a substantial coffee table that is easily accessible to everyone. Also…before you choose either, look on line at inspiration rooms that resonate with you.




Agree with Renee. I’d move the TV and console to the right. I’d eliminate those framed photos and also the clock above the TV. I like Maureen’s suggestion on rug size.

Your 8 × 8 sheet test is a useful starting point. Before ordering, sit in the corner and both end seats to check where your feet land, then walk around it toward the TV cabinet. If the sectional’s front legs sit comfortably on the sheet and that route stays clear, the square footprint makes sense to keep considering.
Our Africancreates guide covers those placement checks: https://www.africancreates.com/blogs/news/beni-ourain-rugs-berber-carpet
Would you prefer a flatter rug or a softer pile? If you share your budget and delivery country or ZIP, I can see whether any of our Moroccan rugs would suit.
Amine — Africancreates

If interested, I’d keep the chairs (upholstering will not be expensive…getting a quote may help you decide). Your DR has so much potential!!! and consider long term.


A rug will do wonders, a second hand console could save you money and your art may need updating. This can be done slowly.



You might even be able to use the bottom of the hutch (may need to refinish the top) and change the hardware.


Why not go crazy and do ghost chairs and a really cool new chandelier in a modern style I traded my dining chais for ghosts when we down sized and people are a bit wary when they first sit down but are surprised how comfy they are I put real sheep skin on the seats for a bit of fun This pic is good becuase it shows the colors and some different styles


I'm always a fan of traditional oriental rugs. They IMHO are timeless and go with almost any decor. Am thinking that a rug with red in it would warm this space up.

Instead of rushing to buy, take your time and be sure to measure.

Reference your wall color, wood tones, art and accessories, the set’s style and what will connect the room and adjoining spaces. If waiting to buy, and would like suggestions, provide a picture of the set/your room and you’ll get more helpful suggestions. Look on line as well so you can envision the bigger picture (mat at slider can just be a solid complementary color).





Are there stands made for this clock? If so, might suggest that instead of trying to attach the clock to the wall.

If not already addressed, this might help.


For sure the lighter….if interested, consider creating a more eye catching area by extending rod/doubling drapery to rest more on the wall. Adding cushions, a coffee table and even an natural blind, will create a more balanced area, nicely framing/highlighting the view.



Is this the same room as your other post? or a different one?

This room is the living room/fireplace the other room is in the front house and I call it the sun room bc it gets the mosf sun

How do you want room to feel and be sure to have a plan. If wallpapering, that’s the first decision and suggest looking on line for inspiration. On line mood boards can be very helpful.


If you want room to feel larger, I’d skip wallpaper and only use colored drapes if they tie in really well.

Light linen like drapes might also be a good choice. I’d also add a longer rod so wider drapery can rest more on the wall.


Its a ruggable

This is the soca


I ended up using three different whites in my home…natural light has a big effect. You should also consider the counter, backsplash and flooring. Test narrowed down colors and be sure to ask paint consultant for recommendations on paint type for walls vs cabinets vs trim.

,

Chispa's right — there's no one best white, and that's especially true when you're using it on walls, trim, and cabinets together. I'd paint big sample boards you can move around the room and look at them morning and evening for a couple of days, because the same white can read warm in one spot and gray in another. If it helps, pick the cabinet white first since that's the hardest to change, then find a wall white that sits comfortably next to it rather than trying to match it exactly.

Depends on your budget and then prioritize as to what would have the biggest impact (short or long term). What’s your budget and wish list? It’s important to have a plan and have a look in mind (search for inspiration on line). Is the furniture yours or from the listing?
The eating area will have a big influence with the dining set and window treatment setting the tone and be sure island’s choices are complementary. Hardware and lighting are not expensive, add some color (and even a new backsplash at some point).



I want to warm it up. Replace backsplash and paint island and cabinets and replace hardware just

Love all the suggestions here. Also would like to replace kitchen table, chairs and table in sitting area and portrait





I plan on getting an 8 by 10. My room is 10 by 14.

An 8 × 10 can be a sensible starting size in a 10 × 14 room. If the 10-foot side runs with the room’s 14-foot length, it leaves roughly 1 foot of bare floor on the two short sides and about 2 feet at each end before furniture changes that balance. The more important check is the seating footprint: tape out the full 8 × 10 and make sure the sofa and both chair front legs sit comfortably on it without narrowing the main walkway or interfering with the movable poufs. What is the sofa length, and how much clear passage do you need beside the seating group? A straight-on photo of the taped outline with the sample would make the final proportion much easier to judge.

Suggest 3/4 glass to bring more light into your home and to create a more welcoming entrance. If interested, the door’s shade below would work well with your roof and the siding. You mentioned painting the alcove white, but conside duplicating the color of your siding.

When possible, suggest adding higher landscaping right across the house.


IF you choose a door with glass, here is my suggestion. Get PLAIN glass.
The plain glass is better insulated, has a longer warranty and is MUCH less expensive!
If you want to have a "decorative glass", you can add a high quality film.
You can also change the film at a later time.
This company has every kind, and will even cut it to size:
Decorative Film Products | Decorative Films - Decorative Privacy Glass Window Films

We just got a 6 pane front door with clear glass and beveled edged, love the bevel! We realized we could add a film for privacy if needed but like it this way!

Consider a unique statement piece that is lighter/softer/organic, leaning towards Wabi Sabi.




That’s a coincidence! It’s lovely and hope you provide a picture.

@maureen I definitely will!

Would it be too much to put a bar cart in the room as well? To the left of the largest windows?

Have the rest of the furniture and accessories been bought (other than rug)? Hard to suggest without knowing what you already have.
If starting with a couch, choose a color that appeals to you and would like to continue using to pull the space together.



Do you have pets and/or young children, as fabric vs leather and light vs dark are important considerations.

freedomplace1: love the racy chair! Good idea. Thanks


MY sofa but it is a bit mossier in person

In addition to receiving advice, maybe look on line for ideas.
Proportions are key and with the narrow width/short length of the table on a large wall, suggest taping out mirror shapes and sizes. That decision will be the jumping off point style and accessory wise. Consider sconces for balance/low lighting and even a rug. Don’t suggest a bench and be sure to create a connection to the living room.



I agree with centering the cabinet on that long wall, since that is what made our own entry finally feel settled instead of lopsided. A mirror about two-thirds the width of the cabinet worked well for us too, and I would keep the bench slim so it does not crowd the walkway.

Get a mirror that's at least 40 to 48 inches wide. Anything smaller will look tiny above a 57-inch cabinet. Hang it so the bottom is 6 to 8 inches above the cabinet.

The wall and fireplace decisions shouldn’t be in a silo; it’s premature. Priorities: furniture/style/needs, placement and how to connect the LR and DR. Once defined you’ll have a better sense of what to do with the wall. It’s a slow process to start a room from scratch. If you would like help, provide a picture of the entire dining room, a floor plan/measurements, your needs and style (especially!). Looking on line can be very helpful and save rooms that resonate.
Regarding the panelling/fireplace, having a budget in mind will help narrow down your options, short and long term. (The flooring and panelling seem to be competing.)

The panelling is beautiful and with those windows, it doesn't make the room dark. I would not paint it. I might paint the fireplace surround a warm cream instead of that stark white.
You need to start with furniture. I lived in rental homes for years and putting my furniture in them made the place seem like mine. I've lived in my current house for 10 years and we painted only one room when we bought it --- the two-tones of purple plus fuschia tween-dream bedroom. I used to be a fan of warm white walls, but my house's strong colors seem like home, now.

I'd start with the furniture and curtains and leave the wood alone for now. It's in good shape, and once a sofa and rug are in you'll know if it still bothers you. Paint can't be undone on wood, so waiting a few months costs you nothing.

Suggest bringing home lots of paint chips and tape to the wall. Get test pots of your favorites and paint large strips on the wall near the stone, your flooring sample and your chair. If confident in your choice (look at them during different times of the day and at night); it’s easier to paint before flooring is installed.
Also…go on line and look at what colors were used with similar components. If it were me, I’d be heading towards a light, soft neutral to offset the dark flooring.




My suggestion is you work with the tone of the floors when picking your paint color, so I will say B.M. Muslin. The undertone makes it a good pairing.


Consider how you want room to feel overall and have a plan before purchasing anything.

Can the seating area be centered across from the fireplace, to create a more balanced feel and also allow for a console table under the window (skip the right side table). A square side table on left will better fill that corner/be more practical and allow for a larger lamp. Accessories are also key and consider your preferred color scheme.




Round …..not matching the other finishes.

Thanks for all your comments. I already own the coffee table and side table so will keep those.

Given the choice of endless paint colors, maybe find the bedding you love so as not to limit yourself by trying to work with a paint color (which can also have different effects depending on the time of the day).



Yes- and several didnt work great. To gray or too much contrast- i know my dh wouldnt care for a drastic change.
One thing is for sure, the Houzz community gives direct feedback. lol I appreciate that.

I’d try ivory bedding with a muted burgundy throw and cushions to bring some contrast while relating to the blush carpet. Before replacing the curtains, hold a larger fabric sample beside the bedding and wall to see the whole combination.
Our video shows one bedroom in three different decorative schemes and might help you picture how colour, lighting and accessories can work together: https://youtu.be/nEcPGozCbFY










































Any style goes. There are really endless combinations and maybe look on line for room components that appeal to you… start with the big picture, which will make individual choices much easier. Try Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram.
Then go on ChatGP: attach a pic of the room and your art and ask that it replace what’s there (fyi: There are limits on requests per day.)
Couches have an Art Deco vibe and I don’t think wicker suits. A couch has a huge influence/sets the tone/is a big commitment so I’d choose it first. The art choices are versatile enough to suit a few color schemes…let the seating dictate your choices. Good luck.
The couches you posted are not art deco but lean more toward scandinavian, although they are really contemporary.
Your art work is scandinavian.
You want contemporary and generally speaking the color palette matters for contemporary or modern.
Your artwork would work even moreso with modern. Think: white walls, Blank canvas and light neutrals with piping trim in a contrast such as black.
So I suggest ( just like you prefer) a muted earthy palette and the addition of the artwork colors sprinkled throughout the base of your room
If you're not set on the artwork, you have other options. But I do think it is a refreshing painting to see. Different and not so bland.
@S F Interiors I'm not a fan of the artwork so much - liking the colours and the visual impact so off to look for options and then to come back to the sofa and then the layering as you suggest. I love the idea of piping trim in a contrast, like black. The colour combo of the sofa and the occasional chair are not working so much for me.
