Decorating tv area?
I have a tv area off the kitchen, shot is from kitchen side. Couch faces tv, right of tv is a big sliding glass door to go to the backyard, behind the couch is the dining area. The walls are yellow all around. I like the wall color, my couch and my tv stand. We just moved house so this is a mismatch of carpet, hanging and table.
I need a new table but am at a loss what to get, needs to be small as its a tiny space. Glass? round? square? black? what carpet should I get to match the hanging? I think I like warm colors but don't want glaringly bright either. Carpet needs to be soft since we hang out on the floor a lot, it is the relaxing area. What color pillows? I really like my hanging (got it while traveling abroad) but am finding it hard to incorporate it. Alternatively I can move the hanging and get decor to match the carpet?
The general theme of our home is clean line ikea stuff with vintage looking stuff and pops of color. I like to stick to warm colors (so i like the yellow) because we live in an area that is cold and dreary a lot of the time.
Please help; thanks in advance! :)

For a coffee table, consider the peek-a-boo lucite table from CB2. It's transparency won't take up any visual space and will allow you to appreciate your rug. I like the below Chinese garden stool as a side table for the sofa. You might consider a sofa table if space allows.
I love your wall hanging and where you've placed it.
We use a little storage ottoman (faux croc from Target clearance ) for a coffee table and footstool in our TV area. It's a small area so I angle the square ottoman with a corner toward the middle of the love seat and we can move around better. A circle would be better.
I like the rug but it's not just right here so I hope you can use elsewhere. I love the wall hanging and wall color and sofa. A new coffee table and area rug will take it up a notch.

I also thought about the cb2 table that is clear. Will also look into martini tables.
What color pillows would go? Pick rug first? Pillows patterned or plain?
Thanks for the suggestion to look at PB at pillows.
(Also, be cautious about Pottery Barn. Avoid ordering textiles made in India, Pakistan, Turkey, China to name a few....actually textile imports from any store and especially if you have small children who crawl and play on the floor. Rugs, baskets, tapestries, clothing etc have been found to be contaminated. Many items are produced in unsanitary conditions and have been found to arrive contaminated with insects or insecticides that have been banned in the US since the 1970's. Imports are not subjected to the same standards as here in the USA. Old Navy and their sister stores have also been reported to have this problem. A friend experienced a problem and her online research found multiple websites dedicated to the subject. We all need to keep one another informed.)
I got the console already painted that bright turquoise from a store called Nadeau. Incidentally...they import furniture from India!
Manon- I really like the garden stool you posted...do you have a link toot and similar things? I couldn't find it by browsing houzz.
We like to put our feet up when watching TV, so I would vote for two small, padded square ottomans (Is there another name for those? I can't think of it right now:) ) I like your cozy TV room.
I do think the drapes are not right. Maybe another shade of yellow?

Here a couple of others you might find comparable through Wisteria:

The garden stool seems to be a popular item. You'll have a good chance of finding the right one.
So you think drapes are ok but a different color?? I have tried gray, burgundy and now beige/neutral over the past few months. So far I like the neutral best... I was looking at yellow before but did not try those jn the end since jm finding i dont want too much yellow (i like yhe color but my entire first floor is that color!) I think they might be hung wrong or else I need blinds instead... Hang them lower maybe...
I would be very comfortable in your space -- yellow walls, wood floors, colorful pictures/wall hangings, and cats!
Is there any turquoise in your beautiful wall hanging? Since you have the turquoise table, you might want to repeat the color in pillows and other decorative objects -- even a garden stool.
I like the soft color of the rug Manon picked out for your space. I've even added it to my own idea book...
After all the comments here I think I realized a few things
- I hate the drapes right now because they are tab top on a skinny rod. This looks weird and so i will change that. They may also be too high up, by just a smidge.
- I need to get a tone on tone rug like manon's suggestion (though hubby did not like that particular pattern so I'm still looking)
- I need a garden stool maybe two! Turquoise is a good idea, or red.
- I need a clear table though its hard to find the right size for that space.
Only after I find a rug will I Look for pillows...
