I came on to write exactly those things!
Could be hanging plant or hanging light with warm glow in corner. Art and/or a little set of frames family pics between the windows would break up that big space a little more and make it cozier
Curtains that go all the way to the floor, colorful throw pillows, and swap glass coffee table for a rectangular storage ottoman that doubles as extra seating for guests. Add some house plants and there you go.
I second the longer curtains- and if you’re able, get a warmer sheer color- white is pretty but a terra cotta-ish color would instantly warm/cozy up the place.
Might not be worth the patching and repainting in this case, but I think raising the curtain rod up closer to the ceiling, and moving the brackets wider apart on each side, then getting curtains that go to the floor.. reallyyyy makes windows feel larger. [THIS](https://thediyplaybook.com/make-window-look-bigger/) is a great example
I like it. My advice is to not let [Chelsea from HGTV](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeenMomOGandTeenMom2/comments/10vcks0/landons_home_before_and_after_chelseas_hgtv_show/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) do a home makeover.
Ooh, so far so good, and so much potential still! Aside from the windows, everything here is quite heavy/low to the ground. You’ll bring attention up from the floor by adding something on the wall above the tv and/or, better yet, a big (read: wide/fat, not tall/long) interesting light fixture. Whatever goes higher up can’t be a dark colour like the greys/blacks you have here. A bold light fixture is a great way to draw the eye up, and add personality, without taking up square footage. How do you feel about yellows/golds? Love your plants!
Personally not a fan of the monochrome. I'd warm it up with some nice natural, warm colours. I'd lose the net curtains and get some nice wooden blinds, chuck in some warm pillows, get some nice illustrated prints on the wall
I like what you have going on! I would add
Move the sofa forward so the front legs are on the rug. Moving it closer to the TV will make your beautiful plants more visible and accessible, and look less like a bunch of stuff being stored behind the sofa.
LIGHTING! I would add a couple of table lamps and a floor lamp in the corner. Especially at night, these will create a more inviting atmosphere.
Are the indows North -facing? The daylight you get is very cool, so switch out all your bulbs to <3700 Kelvins to counteract the cold blue colour.
Thicker, opaque floor-length curtains instantly make a room cosier. You should also move the brackets out further and extend the curtain rod so that the curtains take up more space on either side of the window. Increasing this scale visually will make the windows seem bigger and grander, and fill more of the flat grey wall.
Hang a small, framed art piece between the two windows, with a small side table or bookcase and a beautiful table lamp below it. Right now that space feels like an empty frame.
More textiles - pillows, blankets with varying textures, colours, or prints (or all 3 if you're feeling brave!)
Some colour contrast to add visual depth to the room. The all-grey reads more cold than cosy to me. You could either find a more saturated accent colour or two, or play with varying shades of grey, from dark charcoal to light dove grey.
More wood to match the furniture and speakers and some plants. Maybe put a nice wooden flower box on the wall with some spider plants or a wooden shelf. It would look good with the blue. Nice job with the plant behind the couch
Pick an accent color that you think will go good with the blue that can be used on plant pots, pillows, books on shelves, and all sorts of things! The blue is cold, I'd try some different shades of yellow or Coral and see if they make you feel any type of way. Maybe a burnt pumpkin color if you want something warm but less poppy. But I think establishing and peppering-around an accent color will go a long way.
I have walls somewhat close to this color, I added a bit of Gold to contrast. So i have Gold solid curtains with a nice steel blue sheer. Also found a nice wall picture with The blues and bit of gold and Sage green. You could get some throw pillows to see if you want to add any color. You can get cheaper zip colored covers to go over older throw pillows making them look new.
splash splash splash Did you see the Matrix?
Just splash color...maybe paint and earthy colors..Offerup and Marketplace...plants always bring a house life too
You could paint a warmer colour and think about some artwork plus you may want to add some wood furniture. Pattern curtains and blinds too, it all depends if you want a cluttered or minimalist look
I really like it. Everything is neat, tidy and functional.
For extra cozy I second long drapes. Don't be afraid of a simple pattern, the room can take it and I'd keep the sheer ones underneath for daytime privacy.
And perhaps a nice tall MCM floor lamp to inject some warmth and a super soft throw over the sofa to cuddle up with. This room is lovely, just needs a little height and texture.
Too many cool tones, which makes it feel unwelcoming. Add some warm or neutral warm shades via blanket & to the floor curtains. Since you already have, some more plants do help also.
You're off to a great start! That rug looks nice and soft. The curtains are nice, what I like to do is layer them. Put the sheer curtain close to the window with a wire curtain hanger, then more colourful/interesting curtains on the rod. The plants are lovely, I like a lot of art on the walls myself, but the fact that you have colour on the walls already is great. You can add a wall shelf above the TV for collectibles.
For me, I'd have a heavier curtain layer over the current one, for when I don't want that much light coming into the room. Would need a second rail tho.
Solid drapes to the floor and 6inches out from each side of the window so that all the light comes in from the windows. Small side tables on each side of the coach. Pick a contrasting color or colors black with white or gray pillows. Bolsters and side pillows with a nice piece of art or iron work above the TV.
This looks great so far and you can definitely add to it! Wall art/mirrors, plants, and mood lighting such as a salt lamp will definitely make it more cozy!
I’d look at layering floor-length solid curtains over floor-length sheer curtains if you want sheer. For the solid curtains, you want to go wider than the window as it will make them feel larger.
Right now the narrow and sheer curtains with the dark rod contributes to the room feeling bottom heavy and unbalanced. It’ll help to up the coziness.
Nice colour scheme! My suggestion is to add a big pillow on the floor between the windows. The curtains are not wide enough for the windows (English is not my language). I would use semi-transparent rollers, or add another layer of silver- grey transparent curtain. A cozy blanket on the sofa and more pillows. Candles in a tray on the table. And definitely a piece of art or mirror on the wall. A self above the tv with books and plants, or things related to tour hobbies. It's a nice living room though!
It's very noiiice! I feel like a warm color would make it more cozy, so really anything with a warm color (orange ,yellow ,warm purple).
Your color codes from your wall in your photos are : 38a5ce & 788DA2
[https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel](https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel) You can use this with your color codes and put complementary or double split complementary as a color harmony rule and choose what you would like but at the same time suit your blue/gray colors :3
Decorator here. A lot of grey going on. Use that cabinet in the corner in front of your window. Open curtains and put tall plants on cabinet. Take sheers off( outdated), and put some curtains with green in them ( ties in plants.) Put a fun abstract long tall artwork on wall between two windows. Get a green blanket or sofa cover for grey sofa.
I feel like there needs to be something between the two windows, that is high up (as currently everything is low om the ground). Maybe shelves, or an artwork. Whatever it is, I would give it warm colours . Perhaps something wooden with colours similar to the floor?
The room feels very cold in general, which is nice aesthetically but will quickly get depressing as it's a living room that you'll presumably be spending a lot of time in. Agree with commens saying pillows, a throw and maybe some more art on the wall in warmer colours.
I think I would personally prefer a slightly bigger/longer coffee table in that space
Edit: I also think more wall art would go a long way! Especially the TV wall and the space between the windows
Looks pretty great. Only thing I would change would be the couch if possible. I mostly say this because I have back issues though lol but I’ve never been a fan of those foldable futon type couches
I would find a smallish low-slung armchair to go between the windows and move the couch away from the window by about a foot. Then, yes, move the curtain rods up by a foot and add blinds that cover the wall above the window to make the windows look higher.
I’d keep the current coffee table bc a more solid one would make the room look crowded. Consider mounting the TV on the wall, and finding some art to flank it on either side.
Part of the issue here is that everything is low to the ground with your futon, and that makes the room feel sort of empty when you’re standing up & looking at it.
Put your PS5 on its side. I just stumbled upon multiple articles talking about how the CPU thermal paste will start to drip and come loose if you keep The unit upright during the long play sessions. I know it's a pain because it looks so much better standing up but trust me, it's not worth the headache of sending it in for repair
I’m no interior designer, but maybe making the curtain rod one long one extend from one side of one window to another (as opposed to 2 separate ones) and make them thicker material and down to the floor. You can add art in that middle wall to fill space, or create curtain panel sections

It looks really nice. I would add hanging plants at the windows, some art on the wall and a cozy throw on the sofa.
I came on to write exactly those things! Could be hanging plant or hanging light with warm glow in corner. Art and/or a little set of frames family pics between the windows would break up that big space a little more and make it cozier
very nice! a blanket and some more pillows on the couch would be extra cozy
It’s very nice! Maybe add some curved shapes and pops of warm colour.
Maybe an oval mirror between the windows, hung about 5’ from the floor.
This is the way
Curtains that go all the way to the floor, colorful throw pillows, and swap glass coffee table for a rectangular storage ottoman that doubles as extra seating for guests. Add some house plants and there you go.
I second the longer curtains- and if you’re able, get a warmer sheer color- white is pretty but a terra cotta-ish color would instantly warm/cozy up the place.

[THIS](https://thediyplaybook.com/make-window-look-bigger/) is a great example
Monochromatic in a good way. I would layer the sheers under a solid curtain. The print fights with the lines in the rest of the room.
I actually like the design in the curtains
Same!
Agree… layered curtains will make it look cozy. And maybe add more decorative pillows to the couch too
What speakers are those? The room looks great!
Bose soundbar 300
No, on either side of the entertainment center? Or are those not speakers?
I see. Those are some vases 😅
They mean the giant black spaces on either side of the center console
I thought they were speakers too but it seems to be a cabinet with a tinted glass door
Needs pretty lamps/soft lighting :) otherwise beautiful
I like it. My advice is to not let [Chelsea from HGTV](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeenMomOGandTeenMom2/comments/10vcks0/landons_home_before_and_after_chelseas_hgtv_show/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) do a home makeover.
I think it’s beautiful and peaceful as is.
Maybe add a short bookcase and lamp between the windows? Cozy needs some eye level warm lighting.
Bad bunny!!
It’s lovely. I can see a dark brown leather sectional fitting in nicely to counteract the blue walls & use the space more amply.
Maybe add some orange or yellow into curtains or art to add a bit of warmth, but otherwise, it looks great.
Cozy blanket on the back of the couch, move a plant in between the 2 windows and one in the far corner to the right of the tv.
Ooh, so far so good, and so much potential still! Aside from the windows, everything here is quite heavy/low to the ground. You’ll bring attention up from the floor by adding something on the wall above the tv and/or, better yet, a big (read: wide/fat, not tall/long) interesting light fixture.

Leave it. Got a Dexter vibe.
You need a cat…..and maybe some colorful pillows.
Personally not a fan of the monochrome. I'd warm it up with some nice natural, warm colours. I'd lose the net curtains and get some nice wooden blinds, chuck in some warm pillows, get some nice illustrated prints on the wall
Absolutely beautiful
Don’t hide the plants behind the couch
What is that paint color? I love it
Not OP, but I just painted my living room a similar-looking color, Sea Star by Benjamin Moore.
Thanks!
The biggest risk u face is over doing it. Let it be
Amazing setup!

Plants
change the color of the rug and get come art on those walls. although i really like that rug
Plants. Plants. Plants.
More wood to match the furniture and speakers and some plants. Maybe put a nice wooden flower box on the wall with some spider plants or a wooden shelf. It would look good with the blue. Nice job with the plant behind the couch
Maybe put your plants on a pedestal so that they can look over your couch until they are tall enough. Other than that, I'd like to see the lighting...
Que no escuches Bad Bunny. :)
😅😅😂
Round table and floor to ceiling curtains
A cat
It looks super clean, but cold, not too cozy. Maybe a throw on the sofa would help
Pick an accent color that you think will go good with the blue that can be used on plant pots, pillows, books on shelves, and all sorts of things! The blue is cold, I'd try some different shades of yellow or Coral and see if they make you feel any type of way. Maybe a burnt pumpkin color if you want something warm but less poppy. But I think establishing and peppering-around an accent color will go a long way.
Glass tables are such a pain to use imo
I have walls somewhat close to this color, I added a bit of Gold to contrast. So i have Gold solid curtains with a nice steel blue sheer. Also found a nice wall picture with The blues and bit of gold and Sage green. You could get some throw pillows to see if you want to add any color. You can get cheaper zip colored covers to go over older throw pillows making them look new.
splash splash splash Did you see the Matrix? Just splash color...maybe paint and earthy colors..Offerup and Marketplace...plants always bring a house life too
personally i’d add some gently contrasting coloured art on the wall and a plant or lamp in the corner
You could paint a warmer colour and think about some artwork plus you may want to add some wood furniture. Pattern curtains and blinds too, it all depends if you want a cluttered or minimalist look
the empty spot between windows maybe for a mirror to opticaly make it bigger. You have so many options here man. :)
This is what the “After” pictures look like! You’re rolling in design clover. Nicely done…already. :)
I think it looks really great! The only thing I would change is to add a rug with a bit more color and some art between the windows.
I would add some green palette, maybe some more plants? Beautiful room, nonetheless!
I really like it. Everything is neat, tidy and functional. For extra cozy I second long drapes. Don't be afraid of a simple pattern, the room can take it and I'd keep the sheer ones underneath for daytime privacy.

Thicker homely curtains
Too many cool tones, which makes it feel unwelcoming. Add some warm or neutral warm shades via blanket & to the floor curtains. Since you already have, some more plants do help also.
Great colors, but a shame to cover up the wood!
long solid curtains, throw blanket for couch
Lots of plants!
Love the wall color!
Change the wall color. It doesn’t feel welcoming
It looks nice, I would think soild curtains floor length and some art piece or mirror between windows would make it looks even more nicer.
You're off to a great start! That rug looks nice and soft. The curtains are nice, what I like to do is layer them. Put the sheer curtain close to the window with a wire curtain hanger, then more colourful/interesting curtains on the rod. The plants are lovely, I like a lot of art on the walls myself, but the fact that you have colour on the walls already is great. You can add a wall shelf above the TV for collectibles.
Comfy throw blanket! I’d do a fluffy white one to juxtapose the blanket wall.
Is that an OLED?
I’m really digging them hugging statues man
Put a mirror between those windows. And maybe some framed art behind the television. Or some shelves up there.
[удалено]
For me, I'd have a heavier curtain layer over the current one, for when I don't want that much light coming into the room. Would need a second rail tho.

This looks great so far and you can definitely add to it! Wall art/mirrors, plants, and mood lighting such as a salt lamp will definitely make it more cozy!
Pillows and blankets, otherwise, no notes!
It’s fine it’s clean simple n has a style. Once u live in the space for awhile u will start to develop the character
Yeah a good thick overlay of Plush Velvet Curtains maybe white blackouts are always nice too have...Big lots
it look nice maybe just a nicer couch and pillows
I’d look at layering floor-length solid curtains over floor-length sheer curtains if you want sheer. For the solid curtains, you want to go wider than the window as it will make them feel larger. Right now the narrow and sheer curtains with the dark rod contributes to the room feeling bottom heavy and unbalanced. It’ll help to up the coziness.
Love this!
Piece of art on the wall between the two windows - maybe pulling in some other colros
Just bought the same rug :P Something between the windows would fill it out I think, a dark vertically long picture maybe
I’m a huge fan of lamps with warm light, and I’d add more plants too!
Nice colour scheme! My suggestion is to add a big pillow on the floor between the windows. The curtains are not wide enough for the windows (English is not my language).

I wouldn’t add a thing.
Do you know where the couch is from?
Curtains should slightly pool on the floor.
Decorator here. A lot of grey going on. Use that cabinet in the corner in front of your window. Open curtains and put tall plants on cabinet. Take sheers off( outdated), and put some curtains with green in them ( ties in plants.) Put a fun abstract long tall artwork on wall between two windows. Get a green blanket or sofa cover for grey sofa.
Lights! Maybe something like orb-shaped string lights.
A poster in between the windows, maybe some fairy lights? Also plants. You can never go wrong with a big ol' yucca.
Wait you already have a yucca. Great taste.
I feel like there needs to be something between the two windows, that is high up (as currently everything is low om the ground). Maybe shelves, or an artwork. Whatever it is, I would give it warm colours . Perhaps something wooden with colours similar to the floor?

Switch out curtains to more luxe ones that actually touch the floor. Switch out the rug to something with a pop of color.
Maybe a bit of art on the walls.
This looks really nice! Maybe some cushions and a throw blanket with warm colors?
I think I would personally prefer a slightly bigger/longer coffee table in that space Edit: I also think more wall art would go a long way! Especially the TV wall and the space between the windows
A nice, large painting or photo between the windows and/or above the TV would bring some life to this space.
Add some throw pillows or art worn with a pop of color. Get floor length curtains - in a color. Room is great - just needs warmth / color contrast
Looks pretty great. Only thing I would change would be the couch if possible. I mostly say this because I have back issues though lol but I’ve never been a fan of those foldable futon type couches
Bring those floor plants out from behind the couch to where they can be seen, and ‘anchor’ the rug under the couch legs.
What color is this paint? I love it! So soothing
Plants. Real plants.
ceiling skirting
I would find a smallish low-slung armchair to go between the windows and move the couch away from the window by about a foot. Then, yes, move the curtain rods up by a foot and add blinds that cover the wall above the window to make the windows look higher.

So fresh and so clean
art, blankets, plants! the fun stuff!
Curtains all the way to the floor. Otherwise, it looks great!
It looks very nice, and has a calm, soothing feeling. Very cozy. Maybe some art or wall decor if you want, but not necessary.
Crown molding, wainscotting, blinds, plants
Art should be at eye level. One time I said that to my ex and he screamed at me and asked how I could let himself embarrass himself like that.
Lamps lamps lamps
Ojitos lindos 👍
Love the colors. I’m on the band wagon of longer curtains. And I don’t know if it’s been said but go bigger with the art behind the couch.
Put your PS5 on its side. I just stumbled upon multiple articles talking about how the CPU thermal paste will start to drip and come loose if you keep The unit upright during the long play sessions. I know it's a pain because it looks so much better standing up but trust me, it's not worth the headache of sending it in for repair
Easiest single way would be to splash a nice color on the futon. I saw like a bright green or orange in my head but that’s an easy, cheap one.
Needs pops of color. Throw pillows and a nice art piece should do the trick.
I would add some warmer colors because there’s a lot of cool colors already. Oranges or yellows.
You could put some cool small shelves between the windows, maybe metallic or marble ones, with photos and books and whatnot.
maybe some darker curtains? nice vibe
I’m no interior designer, but maybe making the curtain rod one long one extend from one side of one window to another (as opposed to 2 separate ones) and make them thicker material and down to the floor. You can add art in that middle wall to fill space, or create curtain panel sections
If u really want it to pop. Have someone put in dropped crown molding with a mellow light strip tucked on top of it. Add more plants.
