It's a lovely place and you have to give us more information. First off, what is the style you like, traditional, modern, farm house, etc. What are the functions of the rooms. Which one would be a living room? What are your favorite colors and do you like minimal or max it out. If you are not sure what you like then go to Houzz icon up above on the left corner and do a search on living rooms, for example, try and find some that you feel is your style. The more information you give us about yourself will be most helpful.

It IS a very nice space. What do you want/need in this room? Will you be watching TV here? Years ago there was a post by a member named 'Zuzupetals' who did a round coffee table with 4 chairs around it, as mentioned above. I can't find that pic, but here is a similar arrangement.

If you don't think that would work, and you need a sofa in there, can you give the dimensions of the room? In the pic showing the built-in, what is the room beyond, that has what looks like a drawer - the next-to-last pic?

How many people will be using this room at once? Watching TV, or reading, or socializing? Do you like to stretch out on a sofa or prefer a recliner? or are upright chairs OK?

Do you need anything in here like a computer? Do you need coat/shoe storage by the front door?

Thank you everyone who commented! Please forgive my lack of details (I'm kind of clueless) haha!

This is my first home; first place on my own actually. I like mid-century modern and minimalist design.

These photos are of the living room; the room with the built in drawers is the dining room. I'm thinking about sewing up a window seat cushion and having that as bench seating at the table?? Maybe not?

I really like the chair idea, but I think I'm going to put a TV in the living room. I was having trouble choosing a focal point wall, as you can probably tell.

The living room is 16X11 and the dining room is 10X11.

Do you think I should try to divide it spatially into a foyer type area around the front door?

Thank you!!

Great idea to make a seat cushion for the dining room, if the height of the built-in drawers is a good height, and they're sturdy - it'll help save room.

Would putting the TV to the right of the built-ins in the LR make sense? Could you see using them for storing DVDs, books, etc? There are so many windows in the rooms (SO not a problem to have!) :-) that if you put it on that wall, you wouldn't be looking at a nearby window that may cause glare.

What is the height of the wall next to the front door below the window? I wondered if a table of narrow chest might be good there, to drop keys and mail on. I could see wall mounted coat hooks on that short wall behind the door, but think as it is opened that the door would hit the coats. I don't see any closet near the front door - is there one? I suggested the coat hooks instead of a free-standing coat rack, as the racks can be very tipsy.

TV on wall next to built in. Sofa on wall in front of it with a good sized table and comfy chair in L shape..Should leave you a nice space behind the chair for entry furniture - backing the chair with a skinny console and a chair can double as a desk..would need measurements (each wall/wall to doors etc) to suggest max lengths of sofa etc.

Is that a floor vent that can't be covered under the big window in last picture?

Can you draw a floor plan so we know where all those doors go?

Congratulations on your new home! It's charming!

How would you feel about swapping the living and dining rooms? The smaller room is a bit more private, not being at the front door or a passthrough to the stairs. (Not to mention closer to the snacks in the kitchen...) And a table might fit well in the larger room, and allow room for a "foyer" made up of a runner the width of the room at the front, with a small chest or console table or hook rack between the window and wall.
