Let's Play a Game: What's Wrong with this Room?

Good morning readers! Today is interactive Wednesday. We're going to play a little game called, "What's Wrong with this Room?"

Here's how it works:

  1. Look at the pictures below.
  2. Leave a comment with anything you think is wrong with the room.
  3. Better yet, make suggestions for how to improve the room.
  4. Be kind.





I'll start by pointing out the obvious (save you the trouble) and by explaining some of the elements of the room that must stay:

Suggestions
  • Replace chairs and ottoman with furniture that is better suited for a small room. Smaller scale chairs.
  • Play around with furniture placement; are there any other arrangements that would work in the space?
  • Put something on the walls, try hanging prints or photos on either side of the TV.
Must Stays (Elements of the room that we can't live without)
  • Window treatments: We live in a townhouse and the blinds are a must! While we enjoy natural light, we have to be able to close the blinds at night so we don't feel like fish in a bowl!
  • The windows on the far right of the second photo are actually french doors. Only one of them opens but we do use it constantly to let the dog outside and to grill in the backyard. This makes a huge impact on where we place the furniture.
  • TV and console are brand spankin' new... we won't move them!
Alright that's all I've got... please, please, please... if you never comment on anything you read at Girl Meets Home, comment today! I live with this room so I need a fresh set of eyes to make suggestions on anything from colors to decor. I'd really love to hear your opinion!
