Creative Formal Living Room

My Living Room

Neutral

Very little sunlight

The only thing I do not like is the fact I cannot find a creative way to use the space and that currently it is dark.

There is nothing in the room.

Maybe

No

I have been working to update the house. Replaced the floors to the new light gray wood, painted all the walls white and have been getting quotes to re-paint the kitchen cabinets. I am okay with adding an accent wall of paint or stack stone but not sure where or of what color. Not the biggest fan of wallpaper so I would rather not go that route.

The room receives hardly any light because there is only one window in the room that I don't open too often since it looks into my neighbors home. I would like to brighten the room! There is one junction box in the ceiling and it is on the opposite side of the room than than the window and I am okay with possibly adding another to the window side of the room. I like lights that could be on a timer so it would automatically come on a certain times of the day.

I would like to stay away from Wayfair and pieces of furniture that I have to assemble. Screwing on legs or something small like that is fine but I do not want to take on the task of building a bookcase/cabinet/etc.

I love going to art galleries so beautiful art is appreciated in the home. I already have great pieces in other parts of my home but this area is a blank canvas. I like more of the abstract pieces, framed or gallery wrap and would like a more "one of a kind" look without the one of a kind price tag.

My style is Scandinavian design (minimal, clean lines, neutral base colors) with a touch of rustic design (natural woods, earth elements, textures). I don't mind color and welcome it (see the abstract artwork painting in my niche) but I do like neutral colors for the main pieces in the room. I would like them to be comfortable but I don't necessarily have to try out the upholstered pieces so using wholesale vendors is okay with me.
