Well my wife doesn't want a true sectional and not sure I do either. The sofa / chaise is somewhat like a sectional and it should look nice and balanced in the center of the bay window (the one we want is actually nearly same size). The furniture salesman suggested against the chair on the same side / in front of the chaise like we have in some of those examples. He said it could block view but we did test that out with dining chairs and if all turned to TV you will see the person to the side but they won't be blocking. I mean the chair there is effectively the same as what a sectional would be. Just not connected like one. Which is also nice because it should leave the window more open to the space. But with your sectional suggestion and that picture... It alleviates one fear: will a sofa and chaise that size (106") feel too large and heavy spanning most of that wall? I'm thinking it should be fine. It's only an extra 2 feet in width over normal 7 foot sofa. The furniture salesman suggested the following: 1. Sofa and 2 chairs (no more than that). I know the other poster liked the 4 chairs but I do think it might be too much. 2. Sofa/chaise and 1 chair. That one chair would be similar to your picture in that it would be across from chaise section where there is more space. Both options are similarly balanced. Both have 5 seats. The sofa + 2 chairs benefits in that 4 of those 5 have arm rests and only one is in a center seat. The sofa/chaise + 1 chair forces 2 people to center seats. However it also gives better laying/lounging opportunity. For a 6th seat you could add a 3rd chair near the window on left in either scenario I guess. Not sure which is "better" in those examples. Anyway I'm rambling. Just trying to weigh this out. It is tougher than I thought it would be. Thanks for replies!

You might consider moving the sofa to be centered in front of the window and put the chair nearer the door adding a pony wall height bookshelf (with its back to the chair), with or without doors on the entry side, between the chair and the door to create an entry; perhaps something like this: http://thegamersforce.com/ikea-glass-door-bookcase/bookshelf-inspiring-low-bookcase-with-doors-bookcase-with-doors-ikea-dark-brown-bookcase-with-glass-glass-door-ikea-bookcase-singapore-ikea-glass-door-bookcase-ikea-billy-bookcase-glass-door-instruc/ A barrister style bookcase could also work. Such a room divider would give you a place to add a lamp to the room.

In the living area, use a sofa on the long wall, two armchairs facing the windows with their backs to the kitchen, and one more chair angled into the seating area under the windows. Loveseats take up a lot of space. You also need to leave enough room for small end tables. Since your island is so narrow, I would forgo using island stools, which gives you more space for a table and chairs. Look for a narrow rectangular table that can be placed fairly close to the wall, and pulled out slightly when you need to use the back side two/three chairs. You can use the two end chairs and two or three side chairs on a daily basis. Don't buy any furniture until you're actually in the space, so you can measure precisely and understand how things will fit.

IMO wait until you are in the space before buying anything Take some pics of the space and the sofa post a to scale floor plan and then you will get some real help.As for TV check out Besta from IKea make sure the unit is low enough so the middle of the TV screen is at eyelevel when you are seated if you have the space you can but this system and its pieces together to get a real custom look. BTW I love the Eames chir and ottoman with that style and color of sofa
