Hi, there! What a great start to this room and a great friend you are for helping this gentleman. 1) I agree with what others have said about placing the two sofas facing each other perpendicular to the fireplace, with the coffee table in between and turning the rug. 2) I also agree that the artwork is what should go above the fireplace, not the tv. Then I think the tv could go on the wall opposite the fireplace, if there is enough room. But if placing the tv in the room with the artwork above the fireplace is difficult, then the tv could go above the fireplace. 3) It's hard to tell where the chandelier is located, but if possible, I'd swag it to be centered over the coffee table and centered with the fireplace. 4) I'd place a large tufted bench with roll arms and small side table or floor lamp in the bay window. This can easily be moved aside or in front of the fireplace during Christmas to make room for a large Christmas tree. 5) I'd go with a medium to dark grey on the walls, leaving the moulding white and LOVE the idea of the accent color of purple on the fireplace wall. I'd also paint all the radiators in the same color as the walls to "hide" them a bit. (You can also have boxes built around the radiators to make it look like a piece of furniture.) 6) If you move the artwork, you will have a blank space between the wall sconces. If those are permanent fixtures, you could place an assortment of mirrors on this wall arranged like artwork. 7) I would find a nice buffet (maybe something like this: http://www.westelm.com/products/parsons-mirror-console-g199/?pkey=cconsoles-buffet-tables&cm_src=consoles-buffet-tables||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-) to place under the sconces, then you can place the chairs to either side of the buffet. It would be a great counter to have for entertaining purposes, to put out an assortment of appetizers. And a design like this, you don't have to be too concerned with covering up or getting too close to the radiator. And the chairs can be stored to either side, but be brought out into the main area for entertaining. Alternatively, you could place a large decorative floor mirror leaning against the wall between the sconces (with the chairs on either side) and place a nice buffet console table behind the couch across from it. 8) To either side of the fireplace in the "nooks", I would put some wood console tables or cabinets (they don't have to be a matching set) in a deep rich java. On top of those, I'd place a tall buffet table lamp and place either one nice piece of art on the wall above or an arrangement of smaller art. You could also do one piece on one side and an arrangement on the other. 9) I would straighten the back couch cushions to make them look more streamlined and place the accent pillows against the back in somewhat of a line, rather than haphazardly. So, there would be one small accent pillow for each of the back pillows or at least evenly spaced out. Golds and bronzes would also look lovely with the greys and purples and I like the idea above about adding something zebra print, too. You have such great pieces to work it, I think most of it will just take rearranging and adding a few things here and there. Good luck! I would love to see the "after" photos!!!

Do you own the property or are you renting? What is underneath the gravel? Do you use the two lines of flagstones for parking? If you own you will reap the benefit of any improvement, whereas it is hardly worth spending much money if you will be moving on and another will receive any gains. So if it's soil under the gravel, or if whatever it is can easily be cleared to reveal soil, in either instance planting will offer an economical, changing kaleidoscope as plants change colour, flower then set fruit or seed across the seasons. There is some maintenance commitment but for a space that size it won't be much. If you do park there you could put low-growing plants between the two rows of flags. If the ground is well covered in a hard-to-shift material such as thick concrete you could swap the gravel for another colour - various shades of blue or grey or would be a good fit - for a low cost solution. If you own, you could lay setts or attractive patio paving on top of the concrete or whatever is there but be aware of drainage considerations. Is it free draining right now? Whether gravel or other covering you will be restricted to container based plants whether or not you own. I would try to get a climbing plant growing up the wall around where the drainpipe is, just to break up the endless grey facade, and get it branching out over those outcropping lintels above the ground floor windows. A good design could probably achieve quite a lot more but I'm not a designer, just throwing in a few ideas.

Wow, this is completely modern and unique! Do you have a picture of the front door? It would definitely benefit from some free standing plants/pots beside it.

Hi, A porch like you said would tie in the new garage so is a good start. It will also free up space inside to have a little area before you enter to house so another plus point. It's hard to give more input on that without knowing it's style, colours etc. Moving it to the front may improve the look by sorting out the uneven spacing of the current windows but what would it do to the layout inside? A part of this is the colour and the lack of varied heights visually. There's lots you can do to really make the house beautiful! :) I look forward to updates.
