Our living room (I think small because it’s not an open floor plan like many newer homes) with TV in photo…behind the armoire in upper center left of photo. Next photo is looking the other way from the TV.

I think your living room is large. You have a piano, a fireplace and space to walk behind the sofa.

Our living room is 10x11. We have sofa and recliners up against the 2 walls and a 3' walkway between.

Since it's the access route to the dining room (8x11), we don't have a coffee table. The TV is on a stand next to the sofa so we can see it from our recliners.

Yep we're old folk and grateful for recliners. I spent a week on the sofa with one leg on pillows a few years ago after ankle surgery. Eating meals laying on my side was no fun. So I gave in and bought a smaller recliner that fits me.

I decided the fireplace and TV were the focal point. Just purchased and art tv and I think it looks great. About to re-do the mantle to lower it and the tv and rid myself of faux stone surround and a less formal mantle ( it’s a cottage home). Scale is important and comfort along with performance fabrics allow for lots of lounging and enjoying coffee or a beverage without the worry of spilling. I use 2 ottomans for a coffee table with a tray on top for balancing a cup of something. Lot’s of different types of lighting create interesting and mood.
