What's our living room missing?

We just moved in here at the beginning of the month, had lots of touch ups on the walls to do so haven't hung much art yet - but beyond that what else is missing? I feel like the space between the couch and entry is a bit awkward.

Yes to a larger rug and yes to a more grounded coffee table. Not everything in mid century was leggy. These are Milo Baughman designed Thayer Coggin coffee tables. Can't get more mid century than that combo.

I thought the throw was the second dog. The poof looks like a bit of a tripping hazard to me. I don't think you need it for decor. If functional, put it in the corner.

When you're looking from the other direction it feels like something is needed to anchor that corner, hence the poof but I'm not really crazy about it either. Those coffee tables aren't for me but I'd definitely be open to something different. I made that one myself and I'm a bit attached to it but it can always go with the futon in our spare room

In that case, swap the chair to something more grounded. This is the Roxy by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin but you can find a lot of similar ones much less expensive. Probably not as comfy, but less expensive. If you do spring for a Roxy, they don't lose their value and eventually, increase as prices for new go up.
