Thank you for your advice. I have tried all different ways to arrange the furniture. The tv mount is on an arm and can be adjusted. I considered placing the tv on a nice buffet/tv stand in front of that blank wall. I have to work with the furniture I have. Having the fireplace at an angle is difficult to arrange the furniture also.

Is that the timeout sofa? It's facing a blank wall and seems like an unpleasant place to sit unless you crane your neck to the TV.

Ha ha good one. I haven’t figured out the furniture placement. Once I do that, then I can tackle decorating the walls. i guess we made a bad choice in mounting the tv above the fireplace?

Buy solar panels built into that clear-roofed carport and conceal it down the driveway. Put shrubs at the corner of the house, and you won't even see the carport structure from the street; you'll just see the car. There are tax credits for solar panel installation and sometimes state incentives, and oil prices are going up up up..... IMO your roofline is SO pretty. Attaching a garage that looks like it belongs is going to mess it up. Don't. https://news.energysage.com/what-is-a-solar-panel-carport/

This setup would give you more breathing room in front of the TV for viewing not so close up. It would work with or without the wall.

When we moved into our house 3 years ago, I made a scale drawing of each room, than made paper cutouts of all our furniture and rugs. I was able to play around with layouts on paper, so when the movers arrived, I could tell them exactly where everything would go. In your space, I think I would put a couch in front of the window, with the TV in the middle of the long wall. Chairs can flank the couch. The other option is to put the TV on the bedroom wall with a couch facing it, and a table in front of the window. The (adult) kids in our family play board games when they get together, so a big table is crucial. I also use the table for jigsaw puzzles.

What's the thing labels P/R on your floor plan? If you could change the door to the garage to facing it and use it for a hall closet, you'd have a place to put your stuff. I'd install a mudroom cubby thing with hooks to the right of the garage door. If your garage is a mess of car parts and lawnmowers, paint a square on the floor in front of your cubbies and tell your hubby he needs to keep his garage stuff out of it. Train your kids to take their backpacks to their rooms. Or empty them and clean up the stuff. Star charts for a carrot, the stick is a natural consequence, like not setting a place at the table for them if their junk is in the way. They have to clean it up and get their own dishes. When I used natural consequences for getting my kids to put their dishes in the DW, it worked like a charm.

Yeah probably - TV is mounted way too high (fix with articulating mount) and there's also the issue its placement brings that compels you to orient the seating towards the wall.

I'd try to add some more seating in an arrangement that can be a conversational area and also TV watching. Maybe try a pair of sofas so that they are facing each other and one can be for TV? Hard to tell how much space you have from the angle of the pic.

Also, you can fix the blank wall easily with some large art.

hmmm, that one pic did not help. as i could see your room in first pic, I meant to the right of the fireplace, unless you think left will work better, I cannot see all of that wall.
