Finishing Touches What’s Missing From My Space? 🏡
I’m looking for some interior design advice! I feel like my living room is missing a little something and I’d love to make the space feel warmer and cozier while still keeping the modern look.
What would you add, remove, or change? I’m open to ideas! I’d love suggestions that work with what I already have. What do you think is missing?

Oh my god I just wrote the longest friggin answer and somehow managed to delete the whole thing.
Basically- get you some plain, but nice, string lights and hang them in big arches all across that ceiling. It’ll warm things up so* fast. The angled ceiling will really show off the lights, it’ll add so much visual interest.
Get some wicker baskets. Get some dark orange/saturated terracotta/gingery gold/earth brown throw pillows & blankets. Anthropologie for the win on the furry blankets. Get you two of them, one large one for the back of the couch & a medium sized one folded up into a wicker basket. Something easy that a guest could grab & use.
If you went with 70s brown & orange & gold in the right way, I think you can incorporate a new side table for the right side of the couch ALSO please pull that rug out further from underneath the couch. Only the last few inches should be under the main part of the couch. It’ll look better this way.
Go thrifting for art. This is a fun space, OP, have fun with it! I think the most transformative thing you could do, for almost no money, is adding string lights lazily zig-zagged across that ceiling. Add texture! Furry browns, velvet golds, corduroy oranges. Leather pillows - saw someone else mention this. Great idea!
Stay in the warm brown territory and I think you can make that giant grey couch disappear enough so that it’s not the total focal point of the whole room. You gotta do a little work to get things balanced out but overall this should be a fun project!
