If everyone on the sofa can reach the coffee table to put things down, you don't need end tables. Consider an arc lamp in the corner behind the sofa that arches over to hover above the coffee table. Rug is good; better too big than too small. Pull it so that there is 12" of bare floor around the wall sides of it and it will anchor the sofa and not block either door. With properly hung drapes you'll need to find another home for the candle sconces.

If you can find the right size a small rug might be better

You'll be pulling the rug toward the walls; 12" of floor exposed. Leave enough space between the sofa and walls so the drapes won't be crushed. You can try the sofa entirely on the rug since you won't be using the tables and you want room for the arc lamp. That shouldn't block the traffic path.

Size does matter!

It looks like if you try moving the entire sectional on the rug it might work better. Note how the rug is in this space?

Hi Sandy it looks like you don’t have much room to play with on either end of the sofa due to the doors. I don’t think the rug is large enough for you to place the entire sofa on it. But definitely pull it in further under the sectional. The end tables you have are too low. Well definitely the one on the right. Consider a floor lamp there and moving the small table you have to the front of the arm of the sofa using it as more of a garden stool accent. Because iof your limited space for them have you ever considered installing a chandelier? This would eliminate the need for lighting on either side of the sofa. For window treatments always do full length if you’re going to do drapery panels. Again moving the sofa out may inhibit the doors too much. You might consider doing a roman shade on that window in a great fabric. One last thing remove the candle sconces from either side of the window. You don’t need them and they make the space look cluttered. It’s okay to have empty wall so your eyes have some place to rest. Your art Over the sofa on the other side is well proportioned and enough. Hows the bedroom coming along?

I love what you have done with the room. I definitely think that rug is a good size and ties the entire room together. I would maybe move the couch to the edge of the rug OR move the wooden side table closer to the edge of the rug.

Your can lights can stay and the sloped ceiling should present no problem . I think black frames would look sharp (as I’m nice) on your prints. the Two pillows on the three pillow grouping work it’s the bright white one thatbis off.

Some pillow and accent stool/table and chandelier ideas.

Sandy art is a highly personal and subjective thing, just like color is. For every person on here who has told you that you need color there is someone else who understands your vision of gray black and white. so now that you’ve asked the question you’re going to get people telling you you need colorful art work. I think the scale of these works. One large piece would also work and so would two medium to large pieces. But content is solely up to your personal taste. I do think black frames will make them sharper . I would ask myself if you like them? Do you want color on the space? If so what? Navy? Yellow? Red? often times , actually most always less is more. If you choose to reframe them use a large mat around them.
