I think that overall, you are on the right track with the layout. For the age of your kids, it makes a ton of sense to have a table at one end for games, puzzles, crafts, projects, and school work. There are a few things I’d recommend changing, as well. Here is an idea I drew up for you: I’d sell/get rid of the tv cabinet and get a console or dresser that fits in the niche. Consider putting the tv on an articulating arm so that it can be adjusted for viewing. You could probably get a smaller tv, if desired, which might help with the tv feeling “too close.” Put the full size sofa under the window on the long wall, with nothing behind it. Since it is shorter, put the loveseat in the walkway so that you can easily walk past it to get from one side of the room to the other. On the wall where the tv cabinet was, you could put in approximately 6’ of bookshelves. This will give you a spot to contain the books and random items that life throws at a busy family. You can store a mixture of pictures, books, and the globe. Baskets can be gathered to hold fabric swatches and legos, puzzles (I like removing these from their boxes and storing them in zippered bags inside a basket, if possible.) I recommend getting a circular end table for the end of the couch nearest the doorway. It will make that walkway/doorway feel more spacious and the furniture like less of a hip banger. At the table end, I like the idea of the storage unit with the fabric bins. I know that for our family, the bins need to be labeled in order for them to be used properly and not become catchalls. You could tie tags on the handles, or hot glue labels on the sides of the bins. Then it’s just a matter of training the household to regularly put things away in them. : ) Your windows are gorgeous, but I can understand why you want to obscure the view. How about some top down shades or sheers instead of what is there now? Then you would have quite a bit more light coming into the space while still retaining a sense of privacy. The windows would be pretty with curtains hung high and outside the window frames. I like your couches, and the rugs and pillows all work very well with each other in addition to the furniture. You might like to check out the YouTube channel by Clutterbug. Her organizing solutions are very realistic and down to earth, doable without breaking the bank. “At Home with Nikki” and “Alejandra” have some great organizing ideas on YouTube, too. These have been helpful for our family when our things started to feel like they were taking over our home. I love Josh Becker’s Minimalist blog posts and the blog “Nourishing Minimalism,” too. I couldn’t really make our house any bigger, so I found I had to simplify our stuff instead....well, still working on it. Hope this helps!

I like the suggestion from groveraxle to mark out furniture locations with painters' tape. The other thing I've found useful is cardboard boxes - wine boxes are ok, bigger ones are better! And when you're ready, I love Ben Pentreath's wise suggestion to hire professional movers to shunt your rugs and furniture around for you. You sit back and feel pampered with a glass of wine, while they do all the sweating and grunting, and don't argue with your decisions like family members and good friends do! You may have to wait a couple of weeks for a good team, but when moving "season" calms down you should get lucky.

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.

Another voite to remove the fireplace and hearth. Will you keep a desk area? If so, I would move it to the wall left of sliding doors, put the sofa table on the wall where the desk is now and the sofa against it. A lamp or two on the sofa table. Sleeper sofas are super heavy and sometimes not that comfortable to sit or sleep on. For comfort, a left hand chaise would be nice for TV viewing. With the FP gone, the TV could go to the left a bit and could sit on a small media cabinet. Rig sized correctly and a small round coffee table. ETA: After looking at photos again, I see that is NOT a desk area. If FP is removed, you could use that chest on the "new" wall with the new/smaller TV on top or hung above.
