Are you keeping the furniture? Can you post a picture of the wall the TV is in front of?

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

The pillowcase gives you a good impression. For me light colours do not work as good as darker ones. The petrol (right corner) would be great. But what colour does the girls love? If it is pink you go for a darker one or purple. And it is always best to test the look first. So buy just a small sample of the colour and try. If a dark colour is too dark for you, just paint one wall and the others white.

Hi Ginger, what a lovely view into your garden! - totally agree with to get those yellow curtains out asap...well when it comes to those good old shutter straps (yeah so German!) and how to make them disappear there are mainly two solutions to go: motorist them or take them off. Hiding them with a moulding might admit another solution - but possibly not the most nice looking result I guess... Looking forward to get some extra information on your kids room project...I suggest none of the pro's at Houzz Germany Community will be miserly with a give away ;-) Cheerio & Bests JS

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

You need more of a balance on the furniture if u aren't opposed to a sectional I would do one facing the tv and around where the love-seat or chair is. Something classic. I would love to see like a charcoal grey with some colorful pillows. I would also go for a larger tv stand with it centered more in front of the sectional or couch. Put some prints on the wall would help.

Use your existing furniture and try this before buying new:

Put a large plant by the window.

In front on the window I would do a sofa table with some lamps it will give balance again to the room. I would look at a table that has either a shelf on the bottom for baskets collects all your junk and magazines etc or I would look at one that is open so u can add some small poufs as extra seating!

I like the second visual above - with the furniture square with the room (except I'd use a round coffee table). Can you move the whole arrangement more towards the middle of the room - including the television? It all looks quite squished on one side right now. If you can move it to add more space, you could purchase a sectional as well at least one chair to add more seating.

Our last home had a very, very similar layout in the family room. You didn't mention how many people you wanted to seat, I think that's important to mention. ;)
I would pull the media stuff away from the fireplace and center it up on the current wall, more centered with your speakers. We oriented our furniture to face the tv (placed on the same wall yours is, but it was centered like I mentioned, so the fireplace was always off to our side. But we lived in Texas for goodness sake, we lit the fireplace a handful of times in a decade, we watched movies several times a week though.) I floated my furniture in the middle of the room, with space left for walkways behind sofas and chairs on the outer perimeter of the room. It looks like that's the natural traffic pattern in this room too.
You could probably have a sofa centered with the newly centered tv, and another sofa or loveseat (or a couple of arm chairs) at a 45 degree angle to that sofa where your current large chair is... push them together a lot more so the end table is close to both arms. ;) You may also have room for a single, smaller scaled chair near the fireplace so that it's back is to the windows. (As well as a small side table between it and the sofa) You also probably have space for a console table behind the large sofa separating the sofa back from the dining area.
You can also probably put something like a low and small bookcase on the wall near the window with a plant or two in the bookshelf arrangement.
A large area rug placed on top of your carpet, with at least the front feet of the sofa(s) and chairs on it would help ground the space. A coffee table or large ottoman would also help things feel more grounded and comfortable. (We had some side lamps, but no source of electricity in the middle of the room, with concrete subfloors it wasn't something we could easily add, so we ran flat power cords under area rug and runners behind the sofa)
Anyways, I think what has you stumped right now is that you're trying to jam the media center too close to the fireplace... give them both some breathing room. ;)

Oh, just noticed you were interested in a sectional... that can be pulled off too, but you really need to pull the media stuff away from the fireplace. ;)

Thanks for the new pictures. I would not get a sectional for this room, especially if the furniture needs to be angled. er612's 2nd picture looks like a workable solution. Like she mentioned play around with the layout with the furniture you have. Your furniture now is too puffy for the room, when looking for new furniture look for more classic pieces and pay close attention to scale. First get a longer TV console at least 25% wider than the TV but you could go longer on that wall and also higher, you want it balance with the wall. My wall length looks about same as yours and my console is 70" wide by 32" high. DO NOT put a rug over the carpet, they never say flat and are a tripping hazard. If you use er612's 2nd layout and move it a little further from the windows you could fit another chair.

One more question, what other colors besides gray should i look for? I am having a tough time finding the right shade of gray.

Select your furnishings before choosing paint color. I'd likely choose off-white or really light tan/gray. Here are some examples:

I would not cover that beautiful window.
Bold l-shaped italian leather sofa with glass table, accent chair, large rug and curved freestanding lamp would do the job.

Maybe one of these will work? The circular couch with two chairs? Or the sectional with the 2 chairs in the corner?

Did you try the angled layout that I posted with the loveseat in place of the chairs?

If you do a "rug on rug" look in this space...be careful, the underside of a decorative rug can discolor your carpeting and ruin it.
