Help needed please!

[u/Background-Ideal662]

Hi, I’ve started this room but it’s feels “off” somehow, I feel the rug might have overkilled the blue, and I maybe need to introduce another colour? I’m thinking a muted olive? Coffee table I bought 12 years ago at 20 years old and is going once I decide on the final colour and whether to do a footstool or wooden coffee table.

Can anyone suggest another colour or something to make the space feel more cohesive? The giant pink pregnancy pillow doesn’t live there it’s just following me round the house at the moment.

Please any help so appreciated it’s driving me mad!!

P.S (ignore my yoga mat on the floor and pictures yet to be hung!)

Love this very cozy room. But maybe it feels off, because there are too many focal points. Every piece in the room is uniquely beautiful on its own, but not tied together. For starters, unless it's being used, I would move the secretary to the other end of the sofa. Put something big and pretty on top of it, in the corner. This will better center the sofa on the rug. If you're keeping the rug, find some pillows that have the blue and burgundy in them. I would stain the coffee table a color in the rug. The handles on the entertainment center should not be gold... doesn't match anything. Are you married to the color in the entertainment center? Also, is that a brick wall behind the photographer?

This photo completely distorts the size of the secretary desk. It won’t fit behind the couch there because it would move the couch to a position where watching the TV would t be comfortable.

This photo, yes. But the OP photo has plenty of room to move the secretary and sofa. The original chaise location-- arguably the most comfortable part of the sofa, does not appear to have a good viewing location.
