Just wondering if all is OK. I am thinking about changing the coffee table and the pictures. I feel the pictures are too small and my wife does not like the coffee table. Is the TV at the right height? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Love the colors you are using! I would recommend going with a round coffee table to break up all of the lines. The artwork is very nice, but is a bit small, so I would either include a few other pieces and create a gallery wall above the sofa or use two larger scale pieces of art as someone perviously mentioned. I love this post by Emily Henderson and hope it gives you some inspiration. https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/video/how-to-create-a-focal-wall-2

Hard to tell from the pictures. My main issue is how close the sofa is to the window seat. I don't have a big problem with the coffee table. The pictures maybe too small (?) but the photos aren't clear on that. Could not figure out the tv.

I would agree that the pictures are too small. A larger picture over the couch, maybe one that is horizontal, would work better. The coffee table looks a little bulky but its ok. What are you looking for on the TV? I recessed mine into the wall (and put a frame around it) which frees up all kinds of space and has reduced clutter. I live in a small house so it really helps. And its clean looking so I recommend that approach if its doable.

Since you are not allowed to paint the ceiling, it should be the only wooden surface in the room. The floor can be covered by either wall-to-wall carpet or a large rug, but please check if a door that opens into the room will still be operable. Multi-use and visually light furniture is important in such a tight space. I would replace the bunk bed (you're too grown-up anyway) with a nice sleeper sofa like, for instance, Flottebo. And I'd buy a comfy chair that can be used for reading and as a desk chair. It should be unobtrusive and easy to move like this feminine rattan chair. If you don't need a desk on a daily basis, I'd recommend a height-adjustable notebook table (on casters) that can double as a side table next to the sofa/ bed. Again, multi-use is the key. Once you've chosen new furniture, you can decide on curtains, rug/ carpet and other decorative elements. Wall colors are usually the last decision because you can have millions of hues individually mixed. Also consider how much natural light your room gets.

how to decorate new home with gray flooring and walls

Hey, i will go for black and white furniture. In every room, i will choose different colors for decoration (vases, paintings, pillows etc. ). For example livingroom with purple decoration, bedroom with turquoise decoration etc. I love special items such as mosaic tables ( for example https://www.lionshome.at/moebel-gartentische/mosaik/ ) in homes. In Asien countries one often finds furniture with a lot of chrachter in homes. I think they build the depth of a home. Furthermore, plants are amazing! I think they will bring a lot of positivity in your home.

Agreed. Pull the sofa away from the window seat, add some other colors with throw pillows and an area rug.

The Tv stand to the wall behind the sofa is only about 8 ft. If i put the sofa accros from the wall it would block a door. Not a lot of space.

Pictures above the sofa are too small, but you could all additional art/photos to create a gallery wall there. Or replace with something larger. Also, the tiebacks on the drapes make the window treatments look dated, so I would remove those.

Pull the sofa down so it is flush with hall wall. This way you can add a slim floor lamp between sofa and window seat. Pictures are too small for over sofa. Horizontal art would look better. (Target, World Market, Pier One, Marshall's, TJ Max) Need pillows that add color and tie in with what is in room. You could possibly try two pillows with circles from window seat on sofa. Find solid pillows from pillows with circles for window seat. As suggested previously, untie drapes and declutter TV stand. Perhaps move receiver and other item (cable box?) under TV on top of table so blue wire is not stretched across TV stand. Find something similar to boxes already in cubicles under TV for two empty slots. Put stuffed animals in one of boxes underneath TV. White framed pictures can be hung in hallway vertically (one under the other) or place some of books/magazines horizontally and place on top of books. Find a tall vase from colors in pillows, artwork or rug and place in corner by TV. I like the idea of a small round coffee table or 2 round stools as a coffee table.

As the brick is exceptionally dark, you have to work to keep lightness. Add white shutters to both windows. Do some foundation planting. Forget about what colour's "in": the overall impression of YOUR house is what counts.

Here are a few of my favorite coffee tables that I think would look great in your space.

Yes, I have the problem where I am in Taipei and my wife wants to bring her family over and she needs a big coffee table. They all sit around the coffee table and eat various dishes. I thought

she was going out to get a small table and she came back with a bigger table. I did get her to remove the odd things from the TV area. I sent up some more pictures. Room is really 8ft x 9ft. Property is really expensive in Taipei:(

Yes, pull the sofa away from window seat as much as is possible. Pictures, there need to be more or bigger and should be hung much lower. Enjoy!

I try, but my wife keeps pushing it back:) She usually ties up the drapes too. The sofa might be a tad too big. I can't replace it as it was a gift.

I would move the pictures to the window seat area hanging one above the other. A coffee table that will accommodate look pillows or soft ottomans that you could sit on, or a fabric ottoman that you could put a large tray on.

The pictures are fine; they just need to be lowered and moved closer together. The curtains look sloppy. I'd replace them with shades. I like the table your wife chose. You could use a rug, possibly square, to sit under it. In this case I'd probably leave a border of floor all around the rug instead of setting the sofa on it.

I think the curtains look sloppy too. I came home one day and they were on. (not a fan) I could pick up a small rug. Not sure what color would match. I believe my wife bought more pillows. I will take a picture tomorrow with the new pillows. ( I believe a they are a beige color.) I want to thank you all for the help....:)

yes, simplify, dont add more, move the pictures, love the seagrass, somehow expands the room. take out the "fluff" looks great. a rug will really help. possibly some floor pillows?

That rug posted by groveraxle is a great choice! Look for something with similar colors as it really warms up the space and then choose 1 or two colors from the rug you find to use in throw pillows. Also love the woven shade versus the curtains. Brings a lot of texture into the room and opens up the small space. I think you've got some great advice!

Matchstick shades would be far better than curtains. Ha, just saw matchstick already offered. So you've heard it twice.

TV is good height.

I forgot to add this earlier. This is from a store in Taipei. They had a number of pretty cool rugs that would work.

Thanks for all the help. I need to stay with the curtains. My wife would through herself if I took them down. She also doesn't want a rug. She does Yoga in front of the TV. She wanted a table she can move. I love all the suggestions, but since I live in a world that doesn't include only me, I will have to go with curtains and no rug. I will get a new picture when the time is right. Thanks for all the help.

can you have her sew or shorten the curtains so they fit the window correctly... that will help. then lets move the smaller art to new walls and get something with some pop over the sofa.

My wife went out and bought a picture. What do you think? I have some beige curtains I can switch with another room or would you suggest a different color. I can also change the pillows covers. I can change the cushion on the window seat but only as a last resort as it would be expensive. All door in the house are dark brown. Tv wall is a different color. most of the house is white. Less is better for me. Right now it looks cluttered to me. Not sure how to fix it.

you added brown tones to a gray pallet, not much else. I agree I like the old art. and less is more on the window. the simple fabric color is fine, but this is why subtle hits of color are needed. I dont mind the space. I get it, there is not a lot so being cohesive is good. here are some ideas, just thoughts, you need some plants, some texture, and a little color. this is all ikea.

I'd say fluffy area rug under the coffee table. The large painting is nice. I might also consider adding some textile color pops here and there. Not so much pattern but rather texture and color. Maybe even consider putting a fluffy or colorful fabric on the length of the TV table.

(You posted two pictures 6 hours ago, Those were the best in my opinion. The only thing that bugs me is the Tv table, hence fabric idea)

I think a box pleated cushion, like the Rohini daybed cushion from Urban Outfitters, would look great on the window seat. Judging by the colours you and your wife have chosen already, I would stick with earth tones. I cannot make out the exact frame around the window seat; is it possible to hang curtains on the outside of the window seat? That might be a little less cluttered for you.
