What do you currently dislike about the room?

We just moved in. We have a couple formal pieces of furniture (and art) and would like to make this a somewhat more formal/classic space to entertain, differentiating it from the more comfortable family room that can be seen in the distance of the photo that shows the living/dining/family room transition. However we don't want "stuffy" or overcluttered, and we want to be sure it's still a place that's warm and inviting to spend some time in. We like the hard wood floors, but if there's a recommendation for area rugs or some other approach to the flooring that helps pull things together we're open to that. There is no existing overhead lighting in the room, so open as well to thoughts about how to make best use of floor and table lamps (or even other approaches if you have ideas).

What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?

We have a Duncan Phyfe sofa that's been in the family for a while that we'd like to incorporate, as well as a table (photos attached). We also have a couple pieces of art we'd like to hang -- priority would be a seascape (25"w x 30"h) and a woodland scene (25"w x 29.5h). Also have a field scene (20w x 14h) that we could hang there, or altneratively in the adjacent dining room. Apologies for quality of the photos, they're obviously images of images! We're about to pull the trigger on some window treatment -- a classic Roman shade in a fairly neutral, leaf pattern ( https://www.horizonshades.com/swatches/?product-line-id=1358). I don't think that would clash with much, but we're open to ideas if there are strong feelings.

Are you open to changing your wall colors?

Maybe

Are you open to changing your floor covering?

Additional comments to designers

I'm tall, so if there's consideration of adding lighting beyond just table and floor lamps, please avoid something that would hang down from the ceiling (track would be fine). Again, no preconceived notions here, so if the thinking is that going with just able & floor lamps works, that's fine.

Living Room:

Since your room is smaller using a light and pale color will enhance the light and the space in your room

For your main color, we chose to use white/off-white as it offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.

Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
