Nope, you wrote it, I just missed it. :) I actually didn't mean to move the TV. What I was trying to explain, and didn't do a good job I guess, is to leave the TV and components where they are but put the armed chair you have now directly under the TV facing into the room. If someone is sitting in that chair the TV will be right behind their head. That's why I asked if the TV was the focal point when all the chairs are in use. I thought it could provide the extra seating you need when friends come over. You could always move that chair temporarily if your room is full of people while the TV is on. Then you can focus on getting just one comfy, regular sized chair to put where the armed chair currently is. Also, about the wires, I meant if they were a little longer, they could go straight down the wall to the floor and then along the baseboard to the current cabinet. The chair would hide them better that way instead of how they are stretched across the wall currently.

Forhgtv, I find that love seats are usually taken by two people, not one! Funny how people have such different experiences. OTOH, I'll never put in a large couch again, because I find people sit on the ends. Who ever sits in the middle? It's like being the shortest & having to sit in the middle of the back seat. I'll only go love seats again, because I'm short & could recline, whereas now-absent DH was 6'5" & we needed a 84-96" sofa to let him stretch out. Didn't matter what room. He wanted his size. I'd also go mismatched. I'd look at a similar style, though, with similar lines. Maybe coordinate further with matching pillows. I'm sure I don't need to mention that the different fabrics or materials should also compliment each other very well in your eye. When you walk into a room, something doesn't immediately draw your eye with a, "what the heck is that?" Your room sounds beautiful. Christine Formerly C F Muehling

Then by the sliding doors I’d angle a chair like this...something comfy to sit in but not a huge footprint or too “heavy” feeling. Try thinking keeping the room more open and lighter since it’s on the small side for a tv room. You can do it without sacrificing comfort. I had a small mid century ranch and I made my corner bedroom a tv room since I didn’t want a television in my living room and it was smaller than your room. I had an Ikea Karlstad sofa with a chaise end on it, a credenza for the tv and a small side table and this chair. The scale of everything worked and it was still comfortable.

@ilikefriday: I did paint it!! Thank you! It was a lot of work haha :) @anglophila: Thank you so much! We actually added a lot of the detail in there- the mantle is from a 1880's house and not original (at some point, someone had already removed the original mantle and had put in stacked stone). @anglophila and @peppapoodle: I would love to add a closed-door cabinet to hide the TV but I feel like it would take up so much visual space. Of course, then I had to go look at chinoiserie cabinets and they were all so beautiful!! Although, I think we would need to replace the TV for a smaller one in order to have one fit in the room. I probably wouldn't do that until the TV breaks/goes. Like this or this: *drools* Lol these are so impractical!!
