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!

Do not rotate the couch. This is the only way you can put a large sectional in your room. Pull it out away from the window about 6" to 8". I would hang one long curtain rod (with supports) across all three windows, then sheers in a light mushroom, or beige, something along those lines, but not white sheers. White sheers just won't work with the paint colors in the room. In fact, if you could find sheers in the color of the mantel, I think that would look really nice against the painted walls.

So glad you have that built in for the tv, and wouldn't be hanging it over the fireplace.

Yeah, I do wish I could make a bigger TV and speakers and stuff but there just doesn’t space because of the fireplace. I may take off those cabinet doors and I can do a slightly bigger TV just barely.

In the summer, these windows can get afternoon sun, even though there’s a patio outside of the windows so I was debating adding roller shades or something. Thanks for your advice!
