movie posters....print ads for movies, a touch of sports posters.
I would treat that area as a Theater, it is already separated by steps. Put some crown up high with hidden lighting for low light feel while watching movies. Wall sconces between each window. Shutters or Room Darkening blinds on the windows. Frame the TV like a theatre.
Take a look at some Home Theaters on Google Images or Bing Images you will get some great ideas.
It's masculine and dated at the moment -- (reads like a recently divorced 58 year old's bachelor pad). The good news is that warming it up won't require a big drain on your finances, since all it needs are a few thoughtful -- and tasteful -- accent pieces, earthy throws, and curtains to warm it up. In order to make it more modern, you can embrace its utilitarian aesthetic to create a more rustic/industrial/steampunk look. (Think deconstructed maps, clocks with exposed gears, and exposed Edison style vintage blubs with a warm yellow glow). Good luck!

Would you like a more colorful room? You can always have diff lap robes on each chair, and colorful drapes., with a pretty scarf on the table. I would try these, and then for a final result, I would paint, if all else fails. Best wishes, J.
Great ideas going on here! I'd go a step further, like we did in our theater...We put in a riser [6" to 12" higher] with a small piece of carpet & set one set of recliners back & above the other set of recliners...basically stair-stepping them. Do your room like a long rectangle with your screen at the farthest end. Place a dark brown/maroon drape on either side of the screen area. You can actually PAINT your screen onto the wall using bright white flat paint & border it in black [turn on your projector to get the correct size needed]. Sconces are a plus, you need to have low light conditions so your eyes can re-adjust quickly after being flashed by images on the screen. Framed cork boards can be used between the windows for adding posters, which can be changed out periodically. Small occasional tables can be placed in nearby, but 'out of the way' places for snacks & drinks. ENJOY!
World Market has great accessories. Put curtains over 2 windows ...
Do you want it to look like a theater room or a nice relaxing place to watch tv. If you want the latter paint the walls so it looks more inviting. Just something light and airy, maybe a light creamy white or light gray. Put white shears or maybe opt for more fun colors in the windows. Hang some colorful pictures around. Even though it mighr not bw a theater room some aconces berween the windows might be nice to add more light to a darker room. If you want to open the blinda put some type of film on the windows that is supposed to prevent to prevent a glare in the tv. Do add colorful throws and pillows to the chairs or change out the chairs for a comfortable couch and loveseat. That is how envision the room. Thank you for reading this looong message.
I'm an artist and could create you some wonderful pieces!
