The tile colors seem to go really well! I like it. Is it big enough though? It does fit nice in the corner. I might go with a longer wood coffee table that matched the panelling. I was going to get one that had a storage compartment underneath.

I see why you liked the 2nd set of more feminine drapes you chose originally. They would look nice.

That's a gorgeous couch! Looks comfortable. The orange drapes make the room look warm. Maybe you could just replace the white sheers with a lighter orange and keep the ones you have? Just my opinion.

Es has really good taste. What do you think?

The peach colored curtains really don't look very good. The table is 40" square. I would have to put it towards one end of the sofa so that the recliners clear it. I think a rectangular one would look better, but I think the square one might work if I add some floor pillows.

I was looking at one that was a wedge cocktail table that lifts up. It has compartments inside. Pretty cool looking, but I just don't think the colors of the wood available would go very well. I don't know. Hard decisions. The glass and tile would be a lot easier to keep clean, I mean as far as not worrying about water rings and spills, etc. Wood is a pain that way. And this one would be great for sitting around to play games or whatever. I have eclectic tastes. The trick, and the fun, is making different styles work together.

Hello. Do you really want to hear my opinion?

Square or rectangular coffee tables are the best.
Try not to choose a flowery pattern for that room -not in light colors anyway- because it will clash with the carpet there. And you need some touch of dark to make it cozier.
You need some dark green or/and dark red (brownish).
