I like option 2.

No family picture. I see a bold framed abstract art piece... something like this for color:

Just a thought.

I like them both but the the second one is my fave of the two. Very cool! :)

I'm with the others on the option 2 being the better one. In my opinion, the first one is too tall and takes your eyes away from the beautiful couch. It would draw my eyes to the blank space above the couch. Unless you are adding some artwork in that space above the couch later that you want to highlight, I think the lower lights work better.

I wouldn't choose either one. I think you may be in danger of over-blinging the place.

You are absolutely right. These are much better!

You have a formal modern mix of furniture. I would put one silver table on one end and a mirror end table on other try round not to small with very tall lucite base with pale grey shades. Large mirror in silver and gray frame . Mirror should be 60" long and 40" high or even higher. Z galleries is a good place to look also on line.put in a couple of palms to fill in space on wall.you might lower light over coffee table about 18" to reflect in mirror.

Try some ice blue pillows on sofa mix in to ones there.

All silk small plant to coffee table maybe a silver bowl. No family photo in living areas keep in bedrooms or hall ways.

I like small silk plants and silver candle sticks. Ikea has some nice things. To put on end table.

What's the really bright blue chair off on the left?
Is that staying...

Love the sofa, wallpaper and pendant - nice job -

IF you are bringing in ice blue (as in chair to the left) you must bring in gold to warm the space otherwise it will feel very icy and not welcoming...

here are my recommendations for table lamps - I wouldn't do floor lamps - you need wood end tables with table lamps or a credenza behind the sofa with table lamps to maintain the level of elegance in your space -

Each of these has the varying degrees of either traditional, art deco, to OTT, to more modern - your lamps will define your level of style in whichever direction you want to push your space. Good luck!
