eagledzines Is the dining room furniture going to stay? There are so many different styles. That would be the place to start. Look through the "Browse Rooms" section and post the urls of different rooms you like. That will give us some idea of your taste so that furniture can be suggested.

jodieeikelboom Definitely getting rid of all the furniture! Not sure about the piano. I like a clean and modern style but also interested in a slight French country influence. Looking at sectional sofas of beige or light grey fabric and a nice light wooden dining set. I'll have a look through and post some ideas...

ruthbrog You should def put in a leather sectional with a nice coffee table and to chairs that will make a look more finished

JWinteriors Everyone has their own style. Yours will be as unique as you. There are rules to follow to help with the process. Selecting your largest pieces are first; sofa/love seat vs sectional and dining table...your accent furniture next; side chairs/ottoman, tables, TV console/TV. Finally, lamps, area rugs, window treatments, throws and pillows, wall art and accessories. From all of this, decide on a paint color. Begin painting your rooms.
Place your large pieces into their new homes. Arrange accent chairs and tables into their places. Stand back and make sure you have good conversation area going...not all seating should face the TV! It should be squared off with each other. Try slightly rotating the seating arrangement to soften corners. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Once you are happy with it, place a large area rug underneath it to anchor it...all front legs should rest on rug. Place lighting around the room so that when the sun goes down, the whole room is illuminated. Now, place art on walls...eye candy to keep your gaze moving around the room. Change up on things..group pictures in 2's and 4's. large clocks, wrought iron, mirrors, sconces. Lastly, add personal touches with accessories..pillows that bring your favorite color into the room, plant life (or silk), photos, candles, books. The key here is keep items large. Too many small things will look cluttered and ruin everything. Have fun! I do this for a living. It takes time, but have fun with the process.

rendah 1. You need an area rug underneath your dining table to break up the wood on wood.

2. Need new color on your walls. Something warmer because you have a big space.

3. I do love the idea of a sectional, but I would also suggest a sofa (not too modern nor too traditional ) coupled with two arm chairs with a table in between the two chairs.

4.A coffee table and an area rug.

5. Whether you choose a sectional or the sofa with the two chairs, float it in the middle of the room. Avoid placing them against the wall.

6. You may also want to get a side table or credenza to place in back of your couch to anchor it. Which would them give you a surface space for placing a lamp or pictures.

LB Interiors Since room is large, I would use two same size sofas and two chairs, buffet and a console table, something like this photo. Coffee table and end tables. Ground it with a large rug. Add the same fabric to window treatments on all the windows that are open to the same space.
