Thanks for info.

Taking what you have said on board I agree something like this looks better:

I am contemplating whether to move the TV into the bay and get rid of the table in the corner, but this might look a bit weird :/

IMO, the second arrangement looks perfect, and comfortable for all viewing TV or conversing. Only thing better would be a window seat built into the bay.

I would put the sofa on the smaller wall facing the TV. Leave the TV where it is, but pull the sofa away from the wall, put a console table behind the sofa where you can put lamps and decor. (Basically, reverse what you have in the last pic but with the sofa and chair pulled away from the walls).

A bench of console like you have in the diagram above under the window.

We had 5 bay windows in our last home. Not boxed like yours, but side windows at angles. LR had sofa back to bay (but was not in the bay) with table behind for lamps, etc. Den had sofa or chair backs to bay with low bench and plants in bay. MBR (over den) had chair on either side with low table between. MBR sitting area (over LR) had nothing in bay. Kitchen had low table with plants.

Instead of angling the TV in corner, I would put sofa and sofa table w/lamps in the bay. TV where you have the sofa. Chair could probably be angled towards TV (where TV is currently) with table between. A second chair where current chair is located. They don't have to match. We had no problems with reflection on the TV.

2nd arrangement is much better. I would not put the TV in the bay as that's where the light is coming from and would make it harder to view. In the corner where it is, the TV is naturally shaded so better for daytime viewing.

Is there really only one doorway in the LR?

@Delilah66 yes, there is only one door into the living room.

I like the 2nd arrangement. Depending on your needs and the size of chairs you have/buy, you may be able to have 2 chairs next to each other in that same space.

I'm confused. I see only one door that leads to the outside. How do you access the rest of the house?

I would completely turn the furniture around and put the TV where the chair is now located, but of course in the middle of the wall, with perhaps some bookcases to the left and right, the couch would be facing it, so that the back of it would denote some sort of separation between the door and the living area. You could have a loveseat or chair and ottoman on one side and another chair on the other, with the coffee table long edge facing the couch.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The door isn't the front door of the house, you access the living room from a hallway.

@ingrid is this what you had in mind? Although I've moved the couch against the wall.

That window looks like a box window to me. I have two box Windows in

our house, Both are 10 feet long, one is in our LR and one is in our den.

How big is your window? The reason I ask is -- I have our sofa inside the

box window and the tv across from the window. (where your chair is, in the

above pic.)

Yes, that was what I meant, although cliff and joann's idea is equally good, assuming the couch will fit into the bay window. I think the largest piece of furniture always looks best when it's facing the TV, so either way would work. However, having the door that close to the couch may not be a good look. I would get another chair or love seat to complete the seating area and a smaller coffee table with a glass top and metal legs to maximize the spaciousness of the room. Of course you'll also need smaller tables with lamps by some of the seating to complete the look. Do you have wall to wall carpeting? If not, then a beautiful area rug would give a lot of color and interest to this room.

According to his sketch above, the window bay is only about 6'6" wide so not really wide enough for a sofa, or if you put it there, there's no room for end tables or lighting.

I'm not a fan of walking into the room and into the arm of the sofa. I prefer the tv in the other corner as it was originally.
