mmilos Paint the walls a darker color. Raise the curtain rods up to almost the ceiling height and get some longer drapery panels in a coordinating color. I would start by picking out new furniture and then let the paint and drapery color choices coordinate with your new furniture. Build a custom console similar to your TV media stand to help conceal the radiator.

Not really a fan of your current chandelier. It casts odd lighting spots and looks harsh.

olldbobbi Your area rug appears to have a strong color. When you buy your new furniture, stick to either light beige or light gray. I would then paint the walls the same color as the furniture, but darker. You have a lot of natural light so this should be ok. Pick some throw pillows that have the rug and furniture color in them.

For a more modern look, choose wooden blinds, or bottom up shades:

elektra_angi Don't know what kind of sofa's and funrniture to buy :( i forgot to specify that

elektra_angi @mmilos Thank you for your suggestions :) The fact is that if i would move the curtain rods, then the curtains should be 3 meters long, which is difficult to find and buy. Alsi, it is very difficult to make another holes for the curtain rods because that area is a iron-cement belt. But i agree with you that it will look better closer to the ceiling.

mmilos If that's the case, you may just want to put in blinds or shades for a cleaner/contemporary look.

Since your room has a contemporary feel, I'd choose sleeker contemporary furnishings. I don't like the cheap overstuffed Ashley style furniture.

Something like these:

Aesthetic Tile Imaging You can conceal the radiator with an art tile facade.

christinasimonetti I would consider something like this couch:

Change the console to something like this:

Add some art or family photographs to personalize the space.

Keep it modern and built on the rug's colour & complimentary colours for accents.

Add new pillows: clean lines and full

Hope this gives you some ideas!
Good luck with your space!

Natalie Hi---rug is way too small for your space, unless you want to tighten up your furniture grouping. I would paint the walls a soft gray, add a patterned rug, and hang window panels across the entire wall of windows---panels on either side of windows behind sofa. Wallpaper or paint inside of shelving/niche area for added interest. I suggest a large sofa or sectional for this space. Pics for inspiration-hope it's helpful. Good Luck!
