I'm in agreement about the "dining room" chairs. Straight chairs don't invite people into a cozy conversational grouping. The fireplace looks portable to me. Perhaps finding a better location for it will breathe new life into the entire room. A new rug only needs to be 2-3' wider than your sofa. If you keep the leggy chairs, they need to sit entirely on it. Use painter's tape on the floor to figure out the best standard rug size to work with your things. Remove all the accessories and art for a total refresh and update based around your sofa and coffee table. The tufted sofa keeps us in the more formal arena, but you can do transitional, rather than traditional. Search the box above under Photos for transitional living room, and start an ideabook of ones you'd love to replicate here.

There is 2 of us and a baby due soon. We do have family visiting often I like the idea of a three seater and 2 arm chairs

Depends how do you want your room to be perceived. Let me explain - with the L shape the arrangements works well for a cuddling family, not for the inviting friends (from the entrances these sofa's backs do not look remotely inviting. Works for a TV time with family, but not for the guest gathering/conversation thing. You'll have to take into a consideration how much longer your kids will remain cuddly, because in teens years they are rarely sit shoulder to shoulder. 2 Sofas look nice, but don't do sofa sliders - to be able to have a nicer/bigger coffee table (you would need at least 18" between the sofa's edge and the table, and at least 30" between the window and the back of the sofa), 2 facing sofas are not convenient for the TV viewing - unless if it's a sofa per person and a person is laying down. Like how the room is claimed with the 2 facing sofas - much less of the unused floor. You'll need a much bigger rug though to ground the furniture arrangement.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the input! @Patricia -- I know the chandelier isn't a perfect match, I stupidly fell in love with it before buying any of my other dining room furniture. BUT on the other hand wasn't drawn to any MCM-y fixtures prior to discovering this one. I think since we already have an eclectic vibe, it complements the rest of the decor fairly well. @Patricia & Ida -- ditto to the "no one wants to see themselves eating" comments. My sister said it to me yesterday.. Since we have a relatively small space, I thought a mirror would give the illusion of more space and brighten things up a little. And like Ida said: classic element, reflect the pretty chandelier, etc. I'm thinking I either need to borrow or buy a rectangular mirror just to see what it looks like. If it's terrible I know I need to go in the direction of artwork, maybe gallery wall? Wanted to avoid that because then I'd have to put together a cohesive grouping of artwork and photos. :\ I was considering a round, tinted mirror but am afraid I'll strike out again. This one is amber, also available in rose or grey tinted.. What about a starburst mirror? Sorry I'm stuck on mirrors, again, small / darkish dining area, trying to brighten it up and give the illusion of more space.
