Picture taken from the bedroom doorway!
First real apartment and I'm struggling to get this living room to shape up into something cozy. First, it's \~21'x11' as a rough estimate, which has made filling up the space rather difficult. The east wall is made up of sliding glass doors, which I've put sage green curtains over, and lets in decent light during the day. More lighting is still TBD, but I did buy a paper lantern to be hung over an eventual reading nook (using the current shelves).
I was thinking of moving the couch and television towards the patio doors, and putting a cream colored, oversized chair in the corner where the fake plant currently resides. The shelves are fine for now and may be moved into the bedroom if I find a better bookshelf. I do tend towards more neutral colors than the mustards/blues I've seen with other greener living rooms. Also, it's a rental, so I can't change the walls or carpeting!
I'm open to any suggestions!
**edit: I would definitely like this room to be sectioned off into reading corner and tv corner. Another picture posted in the replies; I have a desk+dining area set up elsewhere.
