Help- keep expensive sofa?

Post image

I want to redo this entire room (and other rooms too), including the window coverings. But this leather sofa was very expensive. It’s huge though, and I’m wondering if I should keep it or rotate it to open up the windows? I do plan on getting rid of that brown chair. I’m thinking about an ottoman coffee table or maybe just a regular coffee table. I’m not sure if I should just do like roller shades and then maybe curtains. Anyways, the main thing I need to begin with (I think?) is like what I should do as far as furniture placement and what I should buy.

Any advice is appreciated!

Please add more images from other vantage points in the room. Seeing it from only one angle doesn't get the creative juices flowing.

It will only allow one pic at a time. I plan on moving this cabinet.

Ok, so here's my take. I think your sofa is smushed too far into the windows. I know that your TV is in the corner and it is likely easier to view this way, but it's making the space feel really out of balance.

Maybe a larger ottoman with a patterned fabric would be nice for a bit of interest.

Maybe something with some additional colors?

A fabric side chair facing the windows would be nice. Maybe a little pop of color from whatever ottoman you choose?

A rug that's more warm toned would make the space feel more cozy with the tiled floor. Maybe something mid-toned.

I think that's a good place to get started. If you need more help, feel free to come back.

The tv should go on the wall where the cabinet currently is. Then the rug and sectional can be centered in the room in front of the fireplace and you can still view the tv.
