Can the piano sit to the right of the fireplace? Posts more pictures of all sides of the room please.

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

Plan is to get an electric fireplace insert

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 found this the other day. Some items cannot be purged!

We had quite a day today! TIP: if you are doing sequined fabric or large bows, they are heavy. So we had to create weight balance but we got it done. I wish you could see it situ! It is so sparkly and totally glam. Just right for Golden Anniversary! Hope you like.

Framed!

Hi Kjoy! Good to see you ;)

I don't mind the new lamps, but I think the shade is making it look squatty maybe? Are they too wide for the lamp? IDK but something seems off to me.

Such a bummer about your thrift lamp! was it a doggy? haha

Thanks Flo! Merry Christmas 🎄

I vote for the winter season rug I like the color. Can you show a couple shots of the rest of the room? I’m trying to remember it.

I like the cane back chairs. Will a change in the seat fabric be enough to liven it up for you?

Is the last photo your room? Show us your decor to help decide the best look.

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

My goodness. Changing the chairs makes a world of difference in the room. I’d still hang a canvas on the mirror to minimize the reflection.

Do your chairs swivel? If so, is there room for one of them to the right of the tv but not blocking the door?

It's hard to tell but it looks like the chairs are far away from the sofa. Maybe those shelves next to the sofa can go on the other side?

I would move the tree to the left of the TV and add an elongated, asymmetrical wall composition on the wall to the right. I would keep the cabinet top mostly clear, especially directly in front of the screen, and simplify the display behind the glass doors so your favourite pieces have more space around them.

Before buying decorations, it may help to decide what mood you want for the whole room. I made a video showing the same living room in four different design concepts, so you can compare how colours, materials, lighting and decorative details work together. You might find a direction you would like to adapt here: https://youtu.be/R-2ZyyBc6EY

I would clear the top of the cabinet first and see how the wall feels with nothing on it. A lower, longer cabinet would help the proportions, but even before that, keeping the shelves tidy and the tree to one side makes the TV feel less crowded. Once it is calmer, one large piece of art rather than several small items is usually easier to get right.

Oh...and....I paid $15 a fixture, NIB, before tax and shipping.

I like THIS one too @ $150ea...

Use some painters tape and rub n buff and add that gold band yourself.
