I ' d highly recommend getting some curtains and a curtain rod for the window . I ' d go with a solid black color . Maybe a second pair to layer behind in another color must make sure your rod can hold 2 layers ikea has these . Whether the curtains are closed or open to let in sunlight , they can make a big difference overall . I ' d also consider mounting the TV to the wall and up a bit higher than it currently is not too high though mounts can be pretty cheap . $ 1030 depending on the features . Especially with all the sales starting tomorrow and put the painting that ' s above the TV on another wall . A more prominent floor lamp would also make a difference . Check craigslistkijiji or etsy location within US or perhaps there ' s some good deals out there for brand new ones since it ' s Black FridayCyber Monday . The following is more about personal taste so you may take it for whatever it ' s worthI ' d consider painting the walls white , maybe a greyish color . Not a big fan of the red throw I ' d go with a grey one .
