My significant other and I recently moved into a home built in 1962. We love the 60's charm, but have found it difficult to combine our existing living and dining furniture into one room. Accommodating a TV, TV stand, sofa, love seat, dining table, and floor lamp in a small room is made even more difficult by the location of the corner fireplace (with wooden mantle), sliding glass door, and window.

We've hit a HUGE mental road block trying to figure out a layout that:

1. Will accommodate our furniture (drawn to scale on the attached image)

2. Will alleviate the feeling of being overwhelmed in a relatively smaller room

Marrying the two might be difficult, but looking forward to hearing any layout/furniture suggestions.
