6 år sidenI'm going to try. The striped chair is heavy on yellow and blue, which I am not a fan of but I'm going to try the suggestions because recovering it won't be an option for A while. I honestly don't know what to look for that coordinates with the chair.

I swear by the LENDA curtains from IKEA. They are long and wide, super affordable ($25 for two panels), and good quality. If you do go with this option be super careful washing them (super cold water and hang dry... if not they will shrink about 5"-8"). Also, try to add a house plant ... it will bring life to the room and help clear the air.
Best of luck!
the curtains and house plant ... they just went a little overboard with the white.

6 år sidenHi Jennifer, Is that your foyer behind the chairs in picture number 4? If so, perhaps a large mirror to help reflect the light might help.

Then put your two chairs where your sofa was with the black end table between them and find a brass lamp or mercury glass lamp for the black table....find a large storage type ottoman/cocktail table for the toy storage ro hold only toys that need to be in the room for play. Add two floor lamps on either side of the sofa or two end tables with lamps on them which ever works with little ones. Do enlarged family photos or child photos or vacation photos in black and white but poster size and put in poster frames. Wal Mart does poster sized pictures online; great economical service. The posters when framed and hung should take up 2/3 of the wall space and be hung 5 - 12 inches above the chair backs.
Add throw pillows in strong accent colors of blue and yellow and possibly grey or tan, which ever works or what ever accent color you want in the room....do one print one geometric pattern and one solid color.
Paint your foyer a pretty golden yellow or sea salt which is a grey blue or a tint of what ever contrast color you are using in the living room for conrast and a welcome feel when entering. Use all white cabinets, lamps, mirror frame in the foyer again for light then add a plant on the table for crispness.
Lastly if you feel you need them fabric Roman shades on the top of the windows hung from ceiling height in a pattern with your accent colors......just a suggestion.
This room has the elements but in different order......Three posters they can be large; end tables and lamp with tall lamp and low end table or tall end tabl and low lamp, chairs nex to each other with end table between, large soft ottoman. Roman shades on windows; again these are elements but you would choose in your color and design choices.....oh and pillows in all the colors in the prints.
Tan room, tan sofa and accents in chairs, prints, and pillows that are all in same color family but different values and strong colors like print. If print has soft colors you might want soft colors in pillows etc.

6 år sidenTry this arrangement, except square the chair up against the wall.
Embrace the brown. Add some gold and black. Try natural linen curtains. Get some dramatic art.

6 år sidenWell, I have made a few adjustments. Not major ones and nothing is complete. As you see in the photos I'm still playing around with furniture, decor and placement. We are hesitant to move the couch in front of the windows because our son loves to look out the windows & sometimes it gives me a breather. I had added a bookshelf before the recommendation not to

We understand you may not love the idea of your sofa in front of your window, but at least give it a try and see the difference it makes to the flow and feeling of your whole room.
We love the suggestion to continue bringing in blue throughout your space--patterned pillows are a great way to do this. Your drapes should also be hung closer to the ceiling. Try to avoid sheer or lace fabric for them, purchase something a bit more substantive.
If you can afford to purchase a new rug, we recommend finding something with a mild pattern, closer to what's in the inspiration photo you shared.
Good luck!
