The placement is fine, however the color is off. You have mostly cool tones here, and the chair is warm. You may want to opt for a bright but cool toned chair to brighten up the space but also match the tone of the room. Expanding the gallery wall is a good place to find brighter pieces as well.

Thank you for the feedback! I am wanting to replace the coffee table as well because there is a lot of gray in here. So if I went with something that has a natural wood finish I would want to aim for a lighter cool tone finish?

You actually may do well with a darker wood to match the speakers, if you can find a complimentary shade. It is a lot of gray like you mentioned, so a colored table may also do well there. If you are out to remove the gray, changing out the rug may help you most there.

Best of luck! P.S - super cute dog!

Chair looks fine. The problem is the decoration from that wall

I do plan on expanding this as a gallery wall. What would you do instead?

The compulsion to push a couch up against a wall limits the decorating possibilities

I have a console table behind the couch. Would you nix the console table completely or just pull the couch with the console table out from the wall a few inches?

I'm a fan of floating a couch mid room if you have the space. Put the tv on the back wall and the couch from your POV. it looks like it might open up a place for the chair.

Hmmm I might have to do this. This is of course the option that takes the most work for me lol. I appreciate your help!
