Given the set-up and the uses you describe, I'm envisioning something like the old-fashioned front parlor and back parlor. The front parlor was used for visitors and Sundays; the back parlor was where the family let their collective hair down and relaxed a little bit. Not that you want a formal living room where no one goes except on holidays, but use that as a jumping off point for the rooms. Front room--adult conversation and mild children's play. Back room--kids' activities, computer, video games. So the front room might have a nice sofa, with a loveseat or two or three armchairs, a bookcase, a coffee table or ottoman, maybe even a rocking chair for cuddling. Some end tables, a few nice tall plants. Not a place for roughhousing and yelling. The back room might have a table for games and puzzles, and a desk for the laptop and to allow the parents to work on household bills, etc., while watching the three year old play. An area rug to help cut down on the noise. Some sort of wall unit to house the games, puzzles, and toys. Some comfy chairs and ottomans to put your feet up. Someone here once posted a picture of a room with a round coffee table and four armchairs around it--that might work in the back room. The arrangement would still allow for access to all the doors, and you could put the game table and desk in two of the corners. More informal furniture than in the front room, but in colors that tie in, so that the rooms seem related, but with enough difference so that the different functions of the rooms are apparent.

Hi! Were you able to try the sofa facing the fireplace? It has beautiful styling and would look good from all angles....and with the rest of your nice things it could be a great conversation grouping. I am also really interested in seeing your art!

Lets break this down a little area 1. landing and entry, no real sitting furniture goes here area 2. dining zone across from the kitchen area 3 living zone, tv on the back wall were the current accent wall is long narrow sofa with two swivel chairs. or 4 recliner cozy chairs, create a little media room there, maybe even tv on the stairwell wall. area4. some chairs in front of the fireplace. OPEN areas are good in this house especially with the way the flow from the stairs to the kitchen is. Also, just had the thought this might be a great house for a projector screen rather than a tv, something that could roll up when not in use.

These are options for you but you will have to MEASURE VERY CAREFULLY to make sure any sofa or sectional you purchase will fit. Do not purchase any seating that is very deep as there is NO ROOM for that type of furniture. You can mount your TV on a bracket to angle the screen if that works better for you
