Currently you appear to have a sofa, two chairs, coffee table, end table w/lamp, armoire, torchiere lamp, and maybe a bookcase. And it is a walk-through area for the kitchen. Working with the furniture you have now: I would first remove the coffee table from the room. Then I would pull the area rug towards the sofa, getting the sofa front feet on the rug. I would place the two chairs on either side of the fireplace, angled toward the sofa. I would try to get the front feet of the two chairs onto the area rug - might be possible, might not. You might need a larger rug. Place the torchiere behind one of the chairs. Unless you need the armoire and bookcase (is it a bookcase?) in the room, I would lean towards getting them out of the room. I would rather see a long console table in that area. If I were budgeting for this room, I would keep the current furniture and spend my money on (pricey) custom drapes - stationary panels to dress the three windows in the room. I would add a second side table for the sofa and a narrow side table for each chair. If the current seating (sofa and two chairs) is not enough seating, I would look at maybe two ottomans that could sit in front of the large window and then be pulled into the main area of the room when entertaining a larger group.

I went through the certain size as well as the three cushion search exstensivly a little over two years ago. There was nothing good to personally try out in my local offerings. I took the plunge and ordered two sofas from Elite leather. What attracted me was all the color choices and SIZE and number of cushions. One is a long four cushion and the other a small three cushion sofa. Elite has some lesser brands where parts are made in China. I didn't want that and through correspondence with the USA maker in California I was assured my sofas where made in the USA. When the sofas arrived I (being paranoid of future squashy cushions) noticed a very slightly noticeable dip on one inner cushion corner. Elite sent me two backup cushion inserts. The dip did not get worse and I have not had to use the backups. I'm so glad of this as I was about to be unhappy. After some time and reflection I don't think it was the cushion but was a tic of overlap in the leather cover. These are very comfortable sofas. The back cushion pillows are attached to the seating cushion so it always looks neat. I normally would not recommend after such short ownership but so far so good. http://www.eliteleather.com/products/sofas/transitional/aero/631#photo-1 Site measurements- H:33 D:38. W: 74 Real life measurements of my 3 seater- H: 32 1/4 D: 36 W: 72 . A person up to 5' 6" can stretch out within the interior measurement. There is no cheap filler leather patched on the sides or anywhere on sofa, it's all nice leather. The underside of cushions is partially cloth so they stay put. There are zippers on back underside of seat cushions for removal and there is a zipper attaching the upper back pillow to the seat.

Look for a light soft color in your rug and use that for the chairs. Measure the floor area for the chairs and check the measurements to the chairs so they fit correctly.

Pictures would really help. An easy option could be to set it up with four chairs and a center cocktail table or ottoman. As far as other ideas, a lot depends on the layout of your space and how you personally would like to use it, as well as your lifestyle and what arrangements you would be comfortable with. Many things you could do with the extra space, ranging from a game room to a gym to a meditation room or a library, etc. But the logistics of where it is located, as part of the entry path comes into play. Could that space be closed off? We really need the layout.
