I agree with having fun. Can you float a sofa facing into the room? Small furniture ('apartment size') will work best. By using an ottoman as a coffee table you will add seating in a pinch. How about a storage ottoman to stash toys in a hurry? What color furniture are you considering? You could go neutral with the sofa and add color with chairs or visa versa. A floor or table lamp will soften the look - are the ceiling lights dimmable? How about a area rug to add comfort? It needs to be large enough for the room. You can have a broadloom remnant from a carpet store cut and bound to your measurements for a modest price. This would be a way to add some color to the room. And I'd lower the art work a few inches. Closer to the height of the TV.

You guys are great!! Thank you so much! We are going to play with the arrangement this weekend and see how it affects the egress in the room. I have a feeling that the couch against the windows is going to interfere with the natural walkways of that room. But, that being said, I just have to see it to rule it out because I really like the idea of the large sofa on that longer wall. I have already purchased a solid blue drapery panel for that window but a pattern might actually be a great idea and add a little something extra to the room. Rebecca, that rug is from the Magnolia collection and it is by Loloi rugs. Thank you, it was actually the first thing I bought for that room. My last several houses have all been in the darker words and darker red‘s, browns and when I saw this house, I knew I wanted to go with something a little bit different hence the blues and the grays. I was also thinking about doing a dark blue on the chairs but then wanted the dark blue on the window treatments and didn’t think I would want to put a dark blue chair against a dark blue window treatment. I hope that makes sense. So my thought was maybe going with more of a natural linen color on the chairs and then adding a pattern or solid blue pillow. Thank you all so much for the feedback and food for thought. I really love all of your suggestions and it really helps to try to see the room in a different way, through someone else’s eyes. .

looking good sunil. just get what you like. Something that fits the space. colors don't have to be exact. once you get the drapes, the room will be done! (maybe do a tall plant in the corner by the window)

MrsPete, that's an interesting point about taxes. I wonder what the difference is, for an additional bathroom? I don't know how much more taxes would run, but I'm sure it's different across the nation -- and it's subject to change. Maybe the OP's space could be configured as one bath plus a half-bath (toilet and sink)? Or a bathing area ... connected to a half bath. I am 75. I know NO ONE my age who still shares a bathroom with her husband. And they haven't for years. All the husbands have been kicked out to a 2nd bath in the house, down the hall. I'm only 52, but I don't know any married couple who does this. No one my own age. Not my grandparents, whom I lived with during my college years /while they were roughly your current age. Not my parents who are currently your current age. If one can afford a house that price, one can afford the taxes (how much could it possibly raise ones taxes to have one more bath?) and help to clean them. I don't think it's about being able to afford; rather, it's about using your resources wisely. Having more doesn't mean it's right to waste. But adding a second toilet to a master bathroom that already has two sinks, a shower and separate tub isn't going to result in it being assessed as an additional bathroom, and it isn't going to substantially, if at all, raise the property taxes. That makes sense from a tax perspective, but it still leaves you with an extra toilet that needs cleaning each week, is subject to breakdowns, and is only going to be used for minutes each day. I maintain it's a poor use of resources. Absolutely true. But resale is resale. And just because you think something is a bad idea, doesn't mean that everyone does. I am convinced that the majority of homeowners look at price and finishings rather than function -- but you're right: that's resale.
