When my remodel is done, my DW will be at the end of a run, next to the wall. It will probably add a minute, maybe two, to the unload time as all but the daily dishes/cutlery/glassware will be a tad farther of a walk to put away. But I don't care as the advantages will totally outweigh the disadvantages. I disagree with your KD. Strongly. I currently have my DW between my sink and range and it is the most hated thing in my kitchen. Everybody hates it, not just me. And when I say everybody, I mean my parents (who owned this house before me), my sister and her entire family, and my entire family. Plus all our kid's spouses. That's 14 people who have all voiced hatred for the DW placement. When my niece's husband, who was a chef before he became an engineer, heard we were remodeling the kitchen actually called me up to remind me to move that damn DW. And he's only cooked in it a few times. I remember he commented that it's poor placement from both a chef's and engineer's perspective (for whatever that's worth, lol). That is the only time he's actually ever called me. At the time, I didn't know where else to put it but the good folks here guided me to the new location. In fact, if the DW placement was good to begin with, I would probably have just redecorated my kitchen instead of remodeling. Of course, I'm getting other good things out of the remodel (like a prep sink) but I'm pretty frugal and would have probably saved the expense of it all if the DW placement hadn't been so annoying. If you use the sink on the window wall for prepping most often because you're facing the fabulous view (and who wouldn't?), the DW will NOT be able to be left open for immediate loading. You will need to keep the door closed most of the time and pop it open to load. If you're prepping and someone is loading/unloading or even just popping it open quickly to pop something in, it often coincides with the moment I need to get some water for my prepping. If you had a much longer counter between sink and cooktop, it might make some sense. But you don't. It will be crowded. And note that I have 54" between sink and range so I have more space to move over when that DW door is open. You have only 39". 36" is the MINIMUM recommended by the NKBA. You really can't afford to lose work space there if you want to use it for prepping. Of course, you will have the option of moving over to the other sink to do that but then that also adds extra unnecessary steps. And if you are prepping and have to move over for someone to do stuff with the DW, you might as well move all your prep work there because it also cuts into the available counter space unless you don't mind leaning instead of standing in front of what you're prepping. I don't understand the view argument. If you use your DW properly, as DW manufacturer's recommend, you'll be spending little time at the sink as you should scrape, not rinse, before loading. Washing fruit and veg doesn't take long. I wish I could remember the statistics exactly but studies have shown that prep time is something like 70% of the time spent in the kitchen with the remainder divided between cooking (like when you're standing at the stove, not counting unattended oven time) and cleaning up. So the majority of your time will be in the prep area, not in front of the sink or at the DW. For that short period of time, you won't miss the view. Ha! Can you tell I feel strongly about this? It's your kitchen. I would never do it in my kitchen. I hope you won't regret your decision.

Hi Keval, Both layouts you did will work. You are spot on to having the TV on the wall you chose. It really comes down to your family situation and your preferences. Neither is more correct than the other. If you have kids and want a more family room feel and room for them to sit between you and your spouse (assuming here) then the L-shaped. If you prefer something a bit more formal (but need not be real formal) than the two sofas. If you entertain a lot then the two sofas. For both layouts you will want a lounge chair or two, depending on the size, between the dining area and the far end of the sofa towards the dining. You do need to have a sofa in your home - it's a large living room and it will ground the space plus it's nice to lay on a sofa once and a while ; - ) Enjoy!

Neither of those choices IMO Sectionals are the most expensive way to buy the fewest comfortable seats and chaises really neglect a whole seat when entertaining. I agree a sofa with an ottoman is a much better choice and asofa and 2 chairs for actual seating in a space just better all the way around. I often do the chairs with ottomans if you have the space and then the ottomans can become extra seating for kids. If you reall y want help post a to scale plan of the space and some pictures.

@Beverly Thanks so much for the visualization. I am sold on the bohemian style, with the 9X12, looks much better. What about a different cover for the chair? btw, the sofas have a cover but are light beige/grey. I have a 5yo so it is hard to keep anything clean. What would you say to a circular rug? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078YD91YG/?coliid=ILTHQKO2UVBN9&colid=GBIYS2WZ5VD2&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1
