Screen porch furniture placement

Building a 19x23 screen porch off the back laundry/mud room. There will be a six foot French door leading into the porch, and a fireplace on the opposite end wall. A 9x12 rug will be up by the fireplace with sofa and chairs facing each other across the rug. Dilemma: I have two 48” square dining tables and will be using only one most of the time, until I put them together to seat 8 people. My calculations put the table(s) edge only 6ft. from when you walk into the porch through the French doors. And, 3ft on the other side before coming to the edge of the rug. Is this adequate space? We could possibly add another 4ft to the length of the porch, but at a significant(!) cost increase. Also, the laundry room is very narrow...7.5’x19. Which way should the French doors swing to be most inviting? Thank you! Barbara
