Wow. Thanks for the quick replies. The couch/loveseat are more of a traditional style mainly due to the look and fabric. A slipcover would certainly modernize them a bit by covering up the lines and changing to a solid colour. I'm after slightly more modern look. Ideally, i'd like to just buy new furniture but I don't think it's in the cards right now. The orange and olive green are definitely hitting me. I was looking at some heavier drapes in almost a burnt orange colour but wasn't sure how they would play with the blue furniture. I'll have to put some thought to that. I'll try to grab a quick photo of the room as it is now. Aside from the furniture, it's pretty much a blank slate at this point - couch/loveseat, a cheap Ikea coffee table and the television/stand. I've already had thoughts about replacing the coffee table (beech)/tv stand (dark gray) so the colour of those elements isn't of major concern.

One change is to flip the master to the area noted as kitchen. This captures the first column. Then the master bath can be rotated 90* an placed on top of the master. This captures the second column.. Adjust window and door wall. I'd lose the small window and go floor to ceiling across the width of the 'new' living room maximizing the view.. Which is now 5.3 plus the wall thickness-- about 17.5 feet. Hopefully you have good ceiling height. This gives you the most area open to the view for a living room without moving the master to the guest room area. . . .The kitchen can get the view if you place it between the living room and bedroom 1 Or you can place the dining space there as you wish with the other space to the left of the entrance as you come in.

Have you looked at Article? do you like this combo? I just recently got the black leather Sven sofa and that exact chair for my room. I love them! I also got the Sven leather bench/coffee table. prices are very reasonable. Then find the accessories. bring in some art or a rug w/color. I really loved the sven in the blue. this would look great w/your floor and cream wall color. (it is cream, right, and not the yellow in the picture?) Here's how the Sven sofa, bench/chair look: The pouf was from Amazon,,,the Tables and MCM credenza I've had and refinished myself. Rug I had, but I want to get something lighter. If you don't like the mcm style, they do have some others look at the Sven Birch Ivory Sofa. it's on sale! https://www.article.com I don't know know what your style is, but here's a sample mockup for the nook...I like the idea of the bench against the wall diff pendant. table ideas, and a darker chair

How much are you willing to change? Major re-arrangement of fixtures and appliances? Only minor changes? Regardless without a fully-measured layout, it's difficult to say what will/will not work. From the Featured Answer in the "New to Kitchens? Read Me First!" thread: Please post a fully-measured layout of the space under consideration and a sketch of the entire floor. Both can be either hand-drawn, computer generated, or drawn up with computer/app tools. By "fully-measured", we mean a layout with the widths of each wall/window/door/doorway and the distances between each wall/window/door/doorway labeled. See a sample below. If something cannot be moved or changed, label it precisely on your layout (see post in sample) and tell us why it cannot be moved/changed -- we may have some ideas for you. The sketch of the entire floor lets us see how the Kitchen relates to the rest of the home. It doesn't have to be to-scale, but it should accurately show how the rooms relate to each other and should include all interior & exterior doors. In addition, it will help us see how traffic flows in, around, and through the Kitchen. Label the front entry and family entry. The family entry is usually a garage or side entry, but it might not be. It's helpful to know which door you use to bring in groceries. Regardless of how you draw it up (by hand, computer, etc.), please be sure all measurements are labeled. (Note: Computer generated layouts often lack key measurements and, sometimes, measure to/from things like the middle of a wall or the middle of a window. Neither are useful. Measure each item and the distances between each item.)
