Maybe there is a better furniture plan. Can you do a sketch with the room and furniture dimensions? I can't tell from pic how much space is between the arm of sectional (is it a sectional,i.e.,a sofa with a chaise or just an ottoman in front of sofa ??) and the other sofa. If enough room,then I would treat the two sofa areas as separate with coordinating but not matching rugs.

I agree with hollybar, we need to see more of the room

Since you have a two seater and three seater sofa, they will have to be at right angles to one another. However, we don't see enough of the room to advise you correctly.

Thank you so much for taking a look. Here’s a diagram with dimensions...

Imo, the walkways are the real problem...

You just need to bring the small sofa close to the large at right angles as Bev shows, and unify with the right size rug. Then the traffic will flow behind that sofa easier. Give it a try with the rug you have! One armchair with side table and floor lamp may be nice where sofa currently sits.

If you arrange your furniture similar to how Beverly has shown, with the conversation area much cozier and the walkways all behind the furniture, it looks as if you might even be able to use the rug you have.

Your problem isn't rug size, it's furniture arrangement.

Right now, your sofa/chaise combo and your love seat have absolutely no relationship to each other. You need to pull them in, focused around the fireplace, and allow the traffic patterns to work behind them.

However, it would help to see your space from all angles to give the best advice.

Lots of great ideas! So we tried shifting the smaller couch in at a right angle to the larger, arranged around the fireplace. It feels great for conversation but tough for traffic as it obstructs the kitchen doorway.

More photos... original arrangement plus rug!

The two pieces need to be connected in the L arrangement. Here are two ways to try it: Pull the larger sofa out away from the wall and pull the smaller sofa forward, so you have walkways behind both of them - one toward your entry and one toward your hall. If that doesn't work with your TV placement then try centering the smaller sofa on the two windows against the wall, and pull the larger piece over to it, leaving a walkway behind it from your kitchen to your entry. Both ways should work with your rug.

Traffic needs to go around the seating arrangement, not through it. I would do this and move the TV to the other side of the fireplace.

Ideally you start buy centering the rug in the room under the fan with the longest portion parallel with the fireplace and tv. Then place the longest couch facing the fireplace and tv. It should have about 1'-1.5' of flooring showing between the rug and hearth. I personally would place the loveseat forming an L with the couch on the opposite side looking out towards the window. place an end table between them, floating everything in the room. Just front legs on the rug or more if you need to fit it into a smaller space. this should give you a path around the seating for accessing the rest of the room without walking through the conversation area. It also could give you enough room to put a couple chairs and small table in front of the window. I know it's hard for people to pull things away from the walls but that really does make a room more cozy and functional And feel more put together. You may also think about adding a narrow sofa table behind one of them If you have enough space.

Or maybe this:

I just saw that the larger sofa is actually a sectional. IF You can swap the lounge to the other side, my last post will still work. If not forming an L the way you have could be the only option but that doesn't give the loveseat a great view of the tv

Just float the arrangement in the room.

Looks good! You could bring the small sofa even closer to the other, then add a square or round side table. A floor lamp would look good in the corner next to the large sofa.

The furniture is arranged better now, but you still need to move the entire grouping forward so you have a full walkway behind the sectional piece.

Don't you plan to use your pass through bar? Is the TV on an articulated arm to be adjustable? Is your chaise sofa reversible? Another dilemma that proves how unrelenting loveseats and inflexible fixed chaises are. So much more potential would open up with those problems solved. I like Grover's last floor plan but it didn't seem to account for the angled doorway in the TV corner.

Oops. You're right, deco. Didn't realize there was an opening there. Old eyes.

I would suggest you get a large area rug that would leave a two-foot-wide border of wood floor on each side of the room. This would allow at least the front feet of each sofa to be on the rug, and it would make a carpeted surface for the walkways as well.

@decoenthusiast - yup, it’s reversible!

And we don’t currently use the pass-through bar.

And finally, the tv can’t be repositioned easily. Sorry to answer questions in three separate comments, long day! :)

Because the sectional can be changed and for better tv viewing and traffic flow. Very rough sketch. Everything could move closer to the windows if you wanted to add a sofa table behind the entry couch leaving just a walkway in front of the windows. Or if room possible to add 2 smaller chairs with table between at the window with walkway in front of them. start with the rug centered a foot in front of the fireplace /tv wall and place the furniture from there.
