I think gduplessis, celerygirl, and groveraxel covered most of my points. I think I'd get rid of the love seat by the fireplace (so not blocking it), and move the one from the front wall forward until it's a conversational distance from the other couch. The the two make an L that includes TV and fireplace. You can add a small swivel chair by fireplace if space allows. Then I'd make the zone by the front door a different space, rather than the zone by the fireplace as partim did -- it could be a game table with two chairs, or a desk, or a bench with a boot tray... anything you have use for. The room is too long to be treated as one zone, which is why the love seats at either end are barely in shouting distance now.

Chairs are perfect!!! So comfortable and big, we all fit here now. Room got crowded with a dog cage (we just got a dog this week) and the big plant which is temporarily here until we take the Christmas tree down.

I'm currently looking to furnish my new place! I spend a lot of time on the couch so I want something that's comfortable and not high maintenance. I love sectionals/cloud-like couches and have been looking at Joybird - Bryant. I'd like to stay within the $1K range but know that's crazy. Any recommendations?

Thank you Cecilia. I appreciate your suggestions. I've had my eye on a few Ruggable rugs for a while, similar color scheme to like what you showed, although my style is more toward world/global. I've got a few Middle Eastern and African textiles throughout the house. And some trinkets from my travels. I'm thinking the next rug will need to be 9x12 since I'm trying to use the whole room, and maybe less geometrical than the current one? I'm also realizing that rug positioning makes a HUGE difference in how the room feels. I've been so tired hauling sectional pieces all week that I've been lazy about positioning the rug, but It makes a world of difference. Hi Decoenthusiaste. I tried floating it in the center yesterday, but I could only figure out how to fit 3 pieces in that layout. I plan to bring the 4th piece into the house this weekend to fiddle around with it. The other struggle with that is how to get a lamp up close to the sofa for reading. I do like any L shape, since it's so comfortable :) Would you still put the FP/TV on that dining room wall if spaced out from the wall (a bit like my 3rd layout photo, but sofa out from the wall?) I agree with you that my favorite place for FP/TV is on the dining room wall. I just haven't figured out how to incorporate the whole room that way, because that brings all of the attention to that larger section of the room, and ignores section from entrance--dining room. Here is how I've currently arranged the room, with the 4th piece photoshopped in. The 4th piece could probably also be separated and roated perpendicular to the rest of the sofa. It actually is plenty of seating because it's usually just me and my BF anyway, and at least a sectional can form an L shape which is nice for conversation. My previous sofa only sat 3 people in a row. I never have big gatherings. I mostly just want a comfortable place to watch TV and read, and this sectional fits the bill perfectly. I love it. Just trying to determine the best layout, and whether the 4th piece is useful, or if I should exchange it for a different piece from the model. I also don't mind semi-blocking the entrance to the study. I'm the only one who uses that room because I work from home, and I'm able to access it through my bedroom, which has another doorway toward the main part of the house. Old house. Old style :)
