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.

At first glance I think that if you are going for a modern look, I would suggest nesting tables instead of a coffee table to create interest. Here are a few ideas for you: http://deciture.com/the-amazing-set-of-3-wood-nesting-table/ http://deciture.com/gilbert-galvanized-nesting-tables-set-of-3/ http://deciture.com/flouressa-mirror-top-nesting-tables-set-of-3/ http://deciture.com/brighton-mirror-top-nesting-tables-set-of-3/ Hope this helps you!

Definitely bring the tapestry down closer to the sofa. If you are keeping that above the sofa, your rug should be less busy. pick a color from it and use that on your rug. You've got a lot of pretty patterns in that room already, keep the rug less busy.

Thanks! I was also leaning to leaving the short wall alone but wanted some outside advice :) appreciate the opinions!
