Hi, a floorplan with measurements would help, but I'd start by moving the sofa out of the corner.

Is it time to move on from the feature wall? If it were to revert to a painted finish then the cabinet could also move on from gray. I see it serves 2 purposes, so a full coat of paint, including the doors (checking that they are straight and level , i think one might be a little off), would take it to a complete finish.The color on your other walls is fresh and taking this all round will give the whole room a lift. You could then go a white cabinet, the dog beds could remain gray and connect to the current couch.

The additional storage to either side could be made a little more permanent, some cubes with wicker baskets?
I see the couch is positioned to be in front of the TV, but maybe it could move a little away from the end wall allowing an arc lamp to be placed behind and out of the way of little people?

Not a full face lift but bringing in white would give the room a lift to make it fresh again.

I think you should paint the walls grey. Grey and red are fabulous together. If you need to because the room is small, put a darker grey on the wall where the fireplace is and a softer one everywhere else. Use the cream color of the fireplace in your throw pillows, rug, art etc as a accent color. Seems the room is small so the TV above the fireplace might be a good choice. The right chandelier and sconces will improve lighting. Add some table lamps. Chrome will make the lighting pop. What is the floorplan going to be with the new furniture?

Living Room too dark

Agree with alant1000 about starting from scratch, but not sure about white. They are some lovely either light grey, light green, or light caramel, which will keep the room warm feeling, and less stark. The wallpaper feature wall you presently have is far too dark for the room - if you want wallpaper, there are some lovely sparkle designs, or stick to paint and do a slightly darker colour than the chosen wall colour. Have you thought about painting the doors white? The dark curtains do not help either. Do you need curtains and vertical blinds? If you lost the curtains, the window would look neater and lighter. Hope this helps.

We are thinking about swapping our kitchen and living room. Have you ever done this project? Were there any pitfalls, excessive costs and were you happy after you did it? It seems like a fairly big job and we would love to get a feel for it before we take a plunge.

The wallpaper doesn’t go so I would remove that. I really like the painted wall colour so could you carry that colour round? The curtains don’t look right. I think full length would be better in a similar colour to the walls. Dunelm have a great selection of ready made curtains. A toy basket would be good so all the toys can be put in there at the end of the day. The pictures are all a bit high? They should be at eye level. I would think you want to keep the middle of the room open for your little one to play.

I beg to differ I think your living room is nicely placed everything is in the order it should. If you really want to change, reverse the items meaning that the sofa should be placed at the TV cabinet position and the TV cabinet should be where the sofa was. Form a research standpoint your living room placement is top-notch
