olldbobbi Great room! (Pardon the pun) Well, you have all the basics, sofa, chairs, tables and lamps. Perhaps a colorful area rug and some artwork on the walls would spice things up a bit. Perhaps over the piano you could use old sheet music: [houzz=French Larkspur] or if you have, or can find some lp covers: [houzz=Boy's bedroom] or something simpler [houzz=Musical Notes Plaque, Set of 4]

For the wall area near the two chairs: [houzz=Handrail] or just a pretty piece of art: [houzz=Fine Art Bird Photography Print Flock by Bomobob]

Deborah Butler, Brickwood Builders This space definitely needs a rug with some color in it.

Natalie Hello-Bobbi gave some wonderful suggestions. A sofa table behind the sofa and a rug would be nice additions. I also would like to tell you that all your colors are WARM, add some cooler hues in there. Hope this helps...

olldbobbi Great ideas, Natalie! Sofa table and a great rug.

Jamieson Great suggestions above! The only thing I'd include is an organic element...plants are our friends! If you don't have a green thumb try a collection of botanical prints
For a rug I'd go a print with a whack of color similar to below.
Good luck, and enjoy your new family room!

Jamieson Whoops, here's the link!

Committed Photography, Inc. Lovely room. Be sure to take a look at a few of these art pieces. Everything we do is custom made (at a great price). You get to select the size, material, and whether you want us to custom frame it or not.

Budget concious tip: Our frames are top quality but we do give you an option to just purchase the print which will save you on the purchase price and the shipping ;)

Let us know what you think or if you had something a little different in mind.

Enjoy!!

anitajoyce Could you turn all the furniture to face the long wall and place the tv cabinet on the long wall also? I think the furniture would look better that way. A nice rug and pictures in abstract art would look nice also.

Elise I like the wall stripe idea. Wide, vertical stripes in a lighter tone and different sheen of the same paint color are a subtle way to go for a wall effect.

Keep your couch and get rid of the beige overstuffed chairs. Check out these chairs on this link and think about a bright fabric print on the upholstery then echo it or coordinating colors in the cushions.

Art prints; consider taking photos and having them enlarged and printed at a shop for you. Call around and find out who has that capability. Then you can have custom photos of family or places you have visited and frame them as well.
