Hi Michelle, what beautiful natural light you have in this room. It makes me want to snuggle up with a book beside the window. I can't see other room alongside this one but it looks like you have a wall dividing the spaces. So forgive me if I've made some assumptions about the space. Basically, when decorating a room we need to decorate the top (ceiling, pendants, artwork on walls), the middle (furniture, floor lamps if necessary) and the floor level (rugs, coffee tables, ottomans).
This is what I would suggest. You need contrast with pops of either color or texture to balance out the neutral walls and neutral couch and carpet. If you're a neutrals kind of girl, then stick with a black/cream/brown palette in cushions, a throw and a rug. Yes you can have a rug on carpet, it's perfectly acceptable and often required. You also need artwork on those walls in the same palette.
I would also change your seating (provided it works with the other room) by moving the 2 single armchairs so they are opposite the couch. Rotate the coffee table so it runs parallel to the couch and introduce a long ottoman for extra seating parallel to the windows so you end up with a U shape furniture arrangement facing the TV.
If you're a colors girl, then bring in modern, geometric cushions and throw in the same colors with a mixture of black and white artwork and some color on the walls.
Or stick to one color, like blue (see artwork below) and keep it simple. It all depends on what you like and what your personality is comfortable around.
Throw in a pendant and voila you have a fabulous new room. Have fun.
Hi Michelle, taking down your window valance and replacing with sheers in front of your blinds, or just a small white wooden pelmet. I think the valance dates your lovely window and room.
