Did you purchase that lounge before or after you moved in? I ask as I don't think it's the best lounge for what you are wanting.

I would have the TV mounted on the wall opposite the fireplace (if not on top of the fireplace) and have a loveseat lounge where the TV is now, while a unique lounge chair or an ottoman on the side under the window with a small coffee table in between.

This way you are featuring the window and the fireplace to the best of their abilities, while not blocking out the doorway as well!

I think the TV should be at eye level too. But I like Nicole's idea about not having a corner lounge - it really looks too big and cumbersome in that room.

Thank everyone. Awesome feed back.

Don't forget to add some images of the end result! I'd love to see what you end up doing.

So much nicer!

Because of the type of space that it is, so it doesn't look so crowded and heavy, glass will be your best bet. Something light to contrast from your dark lounges and carpet. I've added some images below for you.

I like how you have rearranged the room, Shelley. It has opened it up considerably. The lighter rug and prints over mantle look great. I like the idea of glass coffee table, particularly the Noguchi. I also think the couch could use a pop of colour, as in a colourful cushion or two. Well done!

Hi. There are companies that have mirrors that disguise tv's. Its worth a look. I will link one. http://framemytv.com/ or TV Mirrors display a crisp TV image when on, and vanish to a mirror when off.

remove the table under the TV, place it on the dresser in the corner but on a diagonal tilt so it can be seen clearly from the couch. The lamp just looks wrong - I would remove that all together and replace it with a large Pot Plant to soften the corner. Nick Nacks etc can only be chosen by you as you have to like them but I would go for something either antique to match the lovely ornate fireplace or modern like gold, silver, brass glass. I would replace the ceiling light fitting with something modern matching the colours of your Nick Nack's. I am not a fan of the mirror I would place a large mirror on the wall that is currently utilised by the TV - this will reflect the light from the windows - again use the colours of your Nick Nacks and new light fitting for the mirror frame or go entirely frame-less. I would then find a large / modern piece of art to place above the mantel. Obviously my choices / ideas come with no budget in mind but you don't have to do everything at once..... spread the cost if you need to do it all bit by bit. Good luck with what every you choose to do.

Sorry one more thing.... sort out the coffee tables..... less is more.

It's much better now, get a large glass top coffee table ( Google it first) and some good quality orange cushions, I like your art work. Move arm chair in the corner next to Tv there is too many seats in one end of the room and get a large pot plant for the corner next to the window, go for mid century style planter and a floor lamp.

Be careful not to add to many decorations it will look clattered. Remember lass is more but make it stand out.

Those litle pot plants could go elsewhere, they just clatter little tables , or group them all in one large pot and make a feature out of it. Your bonsai can eventually move to coffee table.

Shelley I had the same standing lamp and I changed the shade for current round plain shape and it looks very modern:-)) I would change the rug to light grey with other pattern in it, as at present it represents one BLOCK of dark colour blending to the couch and small tables. Good luck!

Wow, really appreciate the feedback everyone. This is a fantastic forum!

Some photos from our old house, we already had moved some furniture and personal belongings.

I liked your sectional lounge where it was, it now looks like pieces of furniture pushed back against the walls. Much cosier the way you had it arranged. You could then possibly place a small sofa table behind the lounge in the old position with a lamp etc on it

. Your sideboard was lovely in the original position just top it with a lamp to light up that corner.

The coffee tables in the photo come with different tops, glass if preferred, these small tables work well as a group or when you need a larger table or individually.

That's a very large TV and I would like to see it above the fireplace as low as possible.

Our old house had 5 fireplaces, two had been replaced with the sanstone so we had large mirrors installed above to open up the rooms to more light.

One we just painted the chimney wall a feature colour and another the whole wall including the windows and chimney

A different floor rug would help as there seems to be too much grey, hope this helps cheers

forgot to mention the wonderful elephant could be placed on the wall where you moved the TV to and the map of Aus above the sideboard in the corner with a lamp. If you can fit a long narrow table behind the lounge across the bay window your Bonsai and other bits could be placed on this along with a lamp, Perhaps your standad lamp could be placed on or near the left side of the door
