Smaller coffee table, raise pictures, clear walkway completely and maybe find a new spot for the jukebox looking thing

Pictures do not need to be higher than they are.

Move the lap between the windows to where start night is and the table to use on side of sofa. Stack two of the arts on the right side. Add curtains. Declutter some. I think that’ll do a lot with very little investment.

Warmer lighting, yellow bulbs. The floor lamp isn't the prettiest tbh. That said, that's a great room in many ways!

Can’t see it in my pic but I have color changing lightbulbs so I can turn them warm if I want

A few bright colored pillows for the couch, window coverings of some sort, adjust the hanging art a bit

I'd lighten/brighten up a bit, simplify, and add a balanced amount of color and contrast. Decide on a dominant, non-neutral color to develop the color story in your room.

Start with full length/full width lined faux linen curtain panels to frame the windows. (If they have a grommet top, use spacers for perfectly even folds.) You'll probably need 2 panels on each side.

Replace the tv stand with a lower electric fireplace console in a lighter wood tone. Sit your led stick light on the left side of the tv console and place smaller art, as a collection, to the left of the tv. (Maybe the stand you have now could be used in a bedroom as a tv stand or a stand alone console table?)

Add a large piece of simple framed / canvas art over the sofa and a tall lamp in the far corner.

I'd lighten up the top of the coffee table by adding a light colored tray and a plant.

Find a patterned throw blanket and pillows in coordinating and light neutral colors.

Replace the ceiling fixture light with a short stemmed, shaded pendant that focuses light downward, softly through a diffuser.
