I think you could spray or paint that cane chair a warm white, like Annie Sloan 'Old white' (not stark white). The cane seems to stand out a bit oddly. Then you need to introduce another colour with the olive green, maybe more silver or soft denim blue in a cushion or two. But I think the trick will be to do it with texture somehow. The room seems to need texture and height. I may be way off base but I think a feature wall (don't shoot me) in a lighter shade of olive green or grey behind your artwork wouldn't go amiss. Not too crazy, just subtle. You could even colour the cane chair in a similar shade to the feature wall opposite, to balance the room.

Looks great so far. Because your tv and cabinet are in contrast colour to rest ofv the room they grab your eye and detract from rest of room. If olive chairv is your fav then work with it more.remove the blanket and cushion. put blankewt on end of lounge return. Try a different colour cushion on olive chair and move that cushion to the cane chair. Move chair to under canvas and move light with it. Try light on both sides. play with perspective. Because tv steals the show you need something to steal it back. there is reason you never see the tv in styled photos and homes... can you add larger frames to the family portrait area or put another large piece there? Definitely change size of pot plant. Can you hang it from the ceiling macrame style in the corner? That gives height to the room without changing floor space. Try the cane chair in the corner or next to olive chair. You can definitely work with what you've got. Good luck

As it is a very small and compact space with a door coming through it. I would remove the word art and replace it with a huge mirror this will add depth to the room and reflect light around. I think it is a lovely room. Just missing people relaxing. If you think it will fit I would put a table or hall stand type piece of furniture under the mirror or word art piece so that can provide room for knick knacks. You need somewhere or something for people to put drinks on if you are having coffee or similar.

hi

Lovely looking room - it's got all the ingredients for a relaxed, friendly meeting place!

Have you considered moving the whole arrangement 180 degrees? Maybe what is needed is to pull some of the furniture away from the walls.

Place the sectional in the corner to 'cosy' it in- that way the ottoman section would be on the doorway wall. Place the TV on the opposite wall and both the occasional chairs in the centre of the room with their backs to the dining area. Then the large pot plant could sit closer to the chairs without losing light but it would belong to a cluster - remember, groups of three. Perhaps the rug is better in the angle of the sectional lounge - put the front feet of the lounge on the edge of the rug to anchor it.

As your family gallery grows, group new pieces towards the sectional lounge, as an anchor. This will stop the photos from 'floating'.

Enjoy.

I was wondering if the problem might be that there are too many smallish individual things along that long wall, all evenly spaced - one plant, one heater, two smallish chairs and a smallish TV unit! I think it needs at least one larger piece to ground it all or group some of the things together and make it so it doesn't look so like a line of individual things. A larger longer TV unit or a hutch dresser or something with some height as well as width where the plant is.

I would definitely consider putting a round coffee table in- this will help to frame the space as well as act as a useful piece of furniture. I would also consider moving the second chair on the wall next to the lamp and replacing this with a side table!

I'd actually get a larger rug, one that takes up more of the space. It's a really good way of tying all of the bits and pieces you have together to look more cohesive.

Have a textured feature wall and put up a painting to complement the colour you have chosen. The colour of your lounge is so nice neutral, you can definitely use more colour everywhere!

Try moving the green chair to face the corner of the rug where the cane chair is ... in winter, you can spin it around to face the heater to read a good book. Move the one chair into the corner with a larger, stronger coloured cushion, maybe patterned olive green, rust and brown. think autumn forests, to bring in more colour. Sorry, not a fan of massed neutrals. The cane chair in the corner will lighten that space, the green chair facing the corner of the rug will help define the space. I'd suggest a rectangular coffee table in that space.

This seems to be quite a larger room. What do you do with the extra space? What is the view like outside the doors? Moving the sofa 90º and out to the other side of the heater (facing inwards) would give more definition.

Looks much better already!

I love your green armchair. I don't love the white throw on it though. It has so much personality, don't smother it! I'd swap the throw and the girly pillow for *maybe* one of the grey + white chevron cushions on the other lounge. Or maybe see how it looks without any cushion. It's a great piece!

Yes it looks better, however I think your TV stand is a little small for your space, you could do with one that goes all the length of your couch ( try ikea besta for a cheap and modern option) Also it would be great to incorporate the TV and your photo gallery and lovely art like in the attached

photo. It will give a real focus to your room instead of having lots of little pieces here and there.

The coffee table looks great and putting the plant in the corner instead of the chair has just transformed the room!

You have made some good improvements thus far.

I agree - you need to add some colour. Firstly a rusty orange or mustard cushion onto your green chair. Definitely not white. Choose a throw the same colour for the couch. I would look at patterned cushions for the couch - There are some cool bringing in all the new colours. I am wondering how a muted cobalt blue would look as an accent with the rust and olive and mustard. I would consider a rug change if you need to once you have finished.

I would look for a recycled piece you can up cycle in a bold colour to go on the wall with the word art. [ not sure it really works go for print of some type or a mirror ] This could provide some storage with drawers etc. If you want to keep the cane - paint it in a colour possibly the same colour as a new piece for the end wall. You could use this wall as a painted or papered feature wall.

I would look at reframing your pictures in white - different sizes and textures.

I agree about the tv cabinet- take your time to find what you like to upgrade..

It looks like there might be a lot of dead space between the living and dining - it may not be possible but if you could move it all a meter or so towards the dining room may balance things a bit. All the best it's amazing how each little change adds up to a completely new look.

Lovely room..i think I would have a larger rug though.
