Here is the layout reformated. Hope this is better. From Living Room layout Here is a link that might be useful: Layout of Family Room

We are open to getting a new couch, but I wanted to come up with a layout I like first before committing to a purchase. We did have the TV console along the wall next to the fireplace and floated the couch in the center of the room, but it cut the room in half and when guests would come over they tended to only hang out in the area behind the couch (where we have the couch now). We are trying to figure out a way to open the room up so when we entertain, our guests will use the couch. But due to the trickiness of the room we are having a hard time trying to com up with a layout. I thought about putting the TV on the wall where we have the couch now, get a 3 seat sofa and put it under the kitchen cutout and a chair (or oversized chair) and put it on the wall with the fireplace. Wasn’t sure if it would look funny to have a chair right next to the fireplace....

agree about the tv. man oh man is that thing high. anywhere else you can put it for staging? and your pictures are also hung too high. But if selling, you should remove all family photos and store them. this is just weird. Too many chairs, too far back. Keep maybe the one red chair in the corner by the window/fireplace. remove the other chairs. you need a sofa and one, maybe two chairs when staging. get a new fan,,,like this one. the one you have is way too small and is meant for a very small (like 8x10) room. whatever those yellow bulbs are, replace them w/daylight bulbs. you don't want yellow light. Let the fireplace be the focal point. (without that tv hung to the ceiling! get a nice piece of artwork) similar colors to yours. get a picture like this above the fireplace. and don't hang it too high! from the floor to the CENTER of the art should be 56-60". eye level for average people. they have a lot of books and stuff, so I wouldn't copy that. but the smaller chairs are nice, and the little pillows are nice. sofa, coffee table and a chair,,,nice rug. that's all you need in there. sofa, (this is a sectional) ottoman, and ONE of these chairs,,,facing the fireplace. (see where this tv is above the box?? that's how it should be) or this one (notice the tv) Sofa, one chair in the corner. you can place the sofa under the window, or float it about 10' back from the fireplace. notice the rug. get something w/some interest or do a sisal rug. nice chandelier, coffee table. you could place a larger sofa like this under your window and have the two chairs directly across from it. Like shown here. pretend this is your fireplace. set up furniture just like this. get a nice light or a better fan. done. another visual. one more. see the diff between all of these and what you have? The dining area looks nice.

yes, if you have 57in tv, need larger console...darn it. I think teal and blues can look awesome. I think gold accents would work great as a pallet. gold legs on a tv console, you have gold in your art above the fireplace too
