So you want to use the living room for children's play, TV watching, piano playing and entertaining guests? That's a lot of function for a small room. I'm wondering, do you have a dining room and what do you use it for? If you have a dining room, but mostly eat in the kitchen, you could easily turn the dining room into a piano room and play room for the next couple of years, until the kids don't need a play room anymore. Then you could have a living room with furniture that can float away from the walls. You could have adequate seating for guests, without cramming toys and a piano in there. Your options would be greatly expanded. Maybe you don't have an eat-in kitchen and this idea simply wouldn't work in your house. But it just seems to me that you are trying to fit so many different functions into this one room, and if there's any place in the house you can move one or two functions, you would have a much easier time decorating this room. Don't lock yourself into what the name of the room is; look at each space in your house in terms of what functions it can best support.

I have nearly exactly the same layout, except add a door in the upper left corner and replace your bottom wall with wall, wide opening, closet. My room is also longer than yours - it's 18'x18'. I have added Billy bookcases with the half doors and height extensions to either side of the fireplace. It looks good and the extra storage is a godsend. I would definitely integrate a desk into any built-ins you do, like the picture kellyeng posted. Obviously custom built-ins/bookshelves are nicest, but the Billys are fine if you are on a budget. You could buy the short ones and/or cut the Billys down to fit on top of the desk. I have found two layouts that work for my room. Obviously we have different furniture but perhaps reading this will help you. 1) float sofa in front of fireplace, put sofa table with lamp(s) behind sofa, put two upholstered/leather large chairs in front of left window, float loveseat in front of slider on right, put coffee table in front of sofa, place dresser for extra storage on bottom right wall. 2) Float sofa and loveseat in the middle of the room perpendicular to fireplace with coffee table between them. Put the two large chairs south of the sofa & loveseat, angled toward fireplace. Put dresser for extra storage on bottom right wall. My TV is above the fireplace since DH wants it there, but you can easily put yours in the upper corner since you have less furniture. I would recommend that, actually, since the closer you are to the TV the less comfortable it is to look up that high. You really just have to move things around until you are happy - at least for now. The room is awkward, no doubt about it. So, when I get sick of one layout I switch back to the other. I switched back to my Option 2 yesterday. DH laughs at me but hey, moving furniture is cheaper than moving.

How cute this will be! One thing about your sofa-I just bought a new one and it, too, came with those huge, square, corner pillows. They are too big to go behind your back, take up too much room on the seating, and visually jump out at you. The sofa will look better without them. I would think your chair should not be “overstuffed”. The scale of your room would be overwhelmed and it would take up valuable floor space. You might look for chairs with wood arms and upholstered seats and possibly fit two on either side of your window. A small three drawer chest, 25-30” high could be used as a table between the two chairs and be useful for storage. Search consignment stores for something that is comfortable for a guest. My daughter has used a big, sturdy ottoman as her coffee table for years. It’s a great space to prop your feet, set a tray of cocktails, or use for extra seating. Consignment shops are a valuable resource even if you are not on a budget, since you can see many different pieces at once, as opposed to Craig’s list. I go at least once a week to my favorites.
