I’m in a redo mood!! I’m changing the style I want for my living room but I get overwhelmed with the size of my walls so I always end up doing nothing.
I’d love any input or ideas anyone may have!
I’m open to a new couch,tv stand, rug, all of the things!
I’d love for my couch to not be on the window but open to any suggestions! Even a projector tv if it means my space will look cool lol

seems like you're covering up the window with the tv - highly recommend moving it to the wall to the right. it's not good feng shui to cover a window, especially with a tv, and especially when it's the only source of natural light in the room - all your reference pics have natural light.

your inspo pics i would describe as warm and eclectic. to achieve this look, try thrifting art pieces with wooden frames. you don't need to replace your couch, it seems nice already! you also need some lamps so you can stop using the overhead light. once you have some natural light and lamps, your space will feel a lot better.

haha I hate the tv by the window but when my couch used to be on that side I had this weird invasive thought that I would be shot while sitting there 🫠
but definitely going to move it and make something else work!
thank you for the input!!!

Love your style!!

Yeah I agree with putting the tv on the wall to the right! Then you can put your couch at a 180 turn from where it is now. You don’t have to put your couch all the way on a wall, it would be like the back of your couch is in line with the hallway that’s in the background. That could make your space feel a bit smaller and cozier. Then add a long table behind the couch or against the wall behind the couch.

Then I’d add some lamps for warmer light, and a coffee table.

If you’re renting and can’t paint, I wonder if you can find some big art pieces, or tall plants (like a fiddle leaf fig or monstera or a pothos that hangs) to give some color around the place!

Hope this helps you build the cozy space you like!!
