I was thinking something along the lines of this... You can use the colors of the rug, like the terracotta, in your pillows on the chairs. It's too bad you don't have room for the alternative placement of the TV, and in that case I would get a console to put catty-corner on the walls next to the fireplace on the right, even though the windows will be behind the TV. Since you say this is not your permanent home perhaps that will do as a stopgap measure. The couch should be facing the fireplace, unless you want to angle everything to face the TV. The chairs will go perpendicular to the couch. The fireplace nook you can fill with a painting or perhaps an arrangement of blue and white Chinese porcelain (have a look at etsy). With a beautiful rug I'd suggest a glass and metal coffee table so the rug design shows through. You'd also need side tables but I see no way that you can have lamps without trailing cords. Find a way to display books on the tables, which give a lived-in look. Pardon me if I use pictures of my home to illustrate some of these points; your taste may be quite different, but it's just to give you some ideas. This rug is made of polypropylene and therefore much more affordable, but you can see how these colors would brighten your room and give you colors for pillows on your couch and chairs. You can find rugs on e-bay, overstock.com, pottery barn, just google area rugs and then indicate "traditional" or "oriental" and you'll find lots of ideas.

You're welcome, my pleasure. I mentioned wall mounting tv on an angling arm, and there are various types of arms available, depending on your needs. 'TV extension arms' would extend the tv out to mitigate the distance, these arms are also available with varying angling capabilities One example: [https://www.houzz.com/products/pdx650-full-motion-mount-for-37-75-tvs-black-prvw-vr~29971748[(https://www.houzz.com/products/pdx650-full-motion-mount-for-37-75-tvs-black-prvw-vr~29971748) This mount would extend tv out about 2 feet, and is pretty streamlined, with tv being able to sit 2'' from wall when mount is pushed back, so that's a nice feature. Just one example, and there are arms that extend out further than this one, lots of options available to suit your specific needs. I like the idea of wall mounting tv on an arm - but another good option could be using a mobile tv console, and if you like industrial styling, at all - there are a ton of wheeled options, in that style category, alone. So with either wall mounting on extension arm, or using a mobile console, your boys should be able to move the tv, versus having to move their seating... although, they could do a combination of both - if it's more comfortable, etc. I love that second light fixture, also. So many fun styles in the Sputnik type of design. :)

Hi!! Looking some some adviice on some ideas to better set up this space, thinking of going with some large white slipcoverEd sectional and some swivel chairs. This is our main tv space so I need to be able to allow our family of 5 to watch movies. Thanks in advance!!

The way the furniture is pictured creates a box that impedes traffic flow. Put a sofa against the window on the left wall. Then two chairs perpendicular to each other on the corner where the 7 A-7 circle is on the drawing. The dimensions shown aren't sufficient for me to be able to tell you how large the sofa can be, but get something small so that you have room for at least one end table in the corner. You should have room for some type of coffee table as well. If he needs a TV, hang it on the wall next to the window that is next to the door on the right wall. Make sure not to hang it too high - this is a common error.
