we do in guest bedroom,, but not sure will go with colors I have picked out, and the great room is a vaulted ceiling ....I guess we will just have to see...our house is being built and will be very open..not alot of wall space.

Perhaps a large round table might mean a rug is not at all necessary. It could be a metal tray table, or carved wood like Rebecca Mitchell Interiors illustrates. Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above.

Your white walls are too stark for your wood trim. Softer whites and other tints might warm up the room. Lots of Houzz discussion lately on best paint colors for rooms with wood trim. Here's a classic Houzz article about some great colors that work with wood trim like yours: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/11-terrific-paint-color-matches-for-wood-details-stsetivw-vs~9025200 Here's a Google link that comes up with the search: "paint colors for wood trim" http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=best+paint+colors+wood+trim&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ei=wtHIVPT-OcyYNtWehLAN&ved=0CC0QsAQ Additionally, like the others, add some lighter pillows to your couch--or a couple cozy throws--based on colors in your rug. A large round glass coffee table would showcase your beautiful rug as well. You could add accessories on the coffee table in colors from the rug. Yes, hanging plants in each window.

Keya, glad you decided to take the one reader's idea about moving the armoires in front of windows that you don't need and giving the bed a wall of its own! And, yes, you can have Roman shades on one wall and layered drapes on the other. When I had drapes made for my tall sitting room windows/doors, I had them use the same fabric for the Roman shades for the smaller windows on the other wall. For me personally, in these older Indian homes with all the odd nooks and niches in the walls, perhaps it would be more soothing to have a light/med tone paint on the walls that blends with the drapes/blinds for an 'uninterrupted' look, and I would use the same color on ceiling and beams. (but that is just my thought) I would start the process with a large carpet with your favorite colors, then choose your Bedcover & cushions, then your wall paint and fabric for drapes/blinds ..Not certain what style you like, but if you really like a particular Ethnic bedcover fabric, you can always have them stitched into curtains or Roman shades too. Can't wait to see the "After" pics!
