Valve is working on some improvements to the Big Picture mode and some other elements of the Steam digital distribution client as reported by PCGamesN.
Steam Client Getting Improvements To Big Picture Mode & Other Areas
Yesterday, Valve had a presentation in Spain at GameBCN, a company based in Barcelona, Spain that focuses on training & mentoring for video game developers in Southern Europe. A game developer by the name of Toni DomÍnguez attended the event and shared some interesting details with the rest of the world from Valve’s presentation.
Yes, indeed. According to them, they're working on a calendar for games (to introduce scheduled updates, livestreams or special XP weekends, for a specific title), a new interface for Big Picture Mode and a better implementation for Steam Reviews.

On a related note, Valve also confirmed that they are still working on games, but no one during the event mentioned the now legendary Half-Life 3.
When the Valve presentation started, one of the first sentences was "We're also still making games". People laughed a little bit. I can't believe the meme's gone this far. Apart from that, no Half Life 3 questions/jokes.

Steam Big Picture Mode makes using Steam with TVs and controllers possible, allowing players to enjoy Steam games as if playing on a console.
Relax, it’s Steam
Why give up your games, your friends, and all that you love about Steam when you play games in the living room? With Big Picture, we’ve reformatted Steam for use with your TV and game controller, so you can enjoy your Steam games from the comfort of your couch.
Choose your weapon
Pick up your game controller or liberate your keyboard and mouse – the choice is yours. Big Picture, paired with your controller, makes for a powerful match. You can navigate Steam, surf the web, and even chat. Oh, and play games too.
