If you are going to keep the same furniture, the following are some of my suggestions:
Main changes to make:
1. Change the rug.
2. Remove the globe. Instead you can bring in something more bigger in size. Eg: a large pot with tall floral arrangement
such as :
You can try anything, only recommendation is that you don't stick to brown - try to go for colours. Add some colour to this corner, to brighten up that room. Add potted plant and but with a table to neear it or under it, because we want something more solid and tall there. Try to add more colours this side - but not neon like, colours in the above picture will suit the spot well.
Another option is to go for a nice table and a nice large mirror here (but not as nice as the zen idea - because that would provide a view from every corner, than the mirror idea). but the above image type decoration will provide some to view from any angle within i the living room - that if you were sitting in the living room, the above zen spot would be a nice addition and pleasant to the eye sitting within the living room. It brings more colour, is refreshing etc. But ! remember, something taller.. nothing short. TALL. If you are going to use plants, try to keep atleast 1 or 2 pots on a raised platform, and use tall plants.. etc.
3, Change whatever is on the table in the right corner - the vase with dry flowers etc.
4. where there is that golden hanging decoration, is a space that can be used to impart a a more warm feeling. NOTE: The idea here is to cover more space vertically.
The following is an example - but ! the colours and material don't match the style of your room, but I am showing you to get the idea of shape of the article needed here, and the feel.
If you can spend some more money, something like this would be nice too - but again colour n space is not matching, but what i am trying to tell you is to get a bigger wall art installation done like it may involve wood or metal work etc :
Basically, that golding decoration is too small. You have enough blank space going out on either side, so use up some of that middle space. I won't recommend using something of cloth here, because everything else in your room is more 'solid' in nature.
I think doing even this much will bring alot of change, within budget!
5.You can also change the curtains. But doing the above 4 points will itself bring so much of change and liveliness to the room that not changing the brown curtains won't harm :)
These suggestions are more critical and highly recommended.
Other suggestions:
1. You do something to the walls to bring alot of effect.
Eg: this is layered painted plywood:
Doing this, changing the rug, the globe itself can bring a good change to your room!
another example, that also includes lighting: accent wall made from geometric wood panels and hidden LED lighting.
