Do you have any more photos?

It looks like too many angles. Start by painting everything white and pick up color in large artwork and pillows for couch. Start there! This is a hard one!

Draw a floor plan to scale it is the only way to get afeel for the space IMO.

Just curious whats up with that fire place?

I drew a diagram, not to exact scale, but I did my best. I have furniture- 2 couches, 2 wing chairs, a large leather Crate and Barrel swivel chair (40 in x 40 in), an oval coffee table, and 2 circular end tables. However, I’m open to changing some of the furniture.

Ok, the diagram isn’t loading. Best way to describe it is 1/2 of an octagon, with a fireplace jutting into the room at an angle. The back wall of windows is 10 feet wide, the 2 sides are 13 feet wide, the tv wall is 7 1/2 feet wide, the entry to the room is 12 feet wide with 2 steps along the 12 feet. Then, the fireplace is roughly 4 1/2 feet by 2 feet. Then a 70 inch wall. Then an 8.5 feet opening to the dining room and another 8.5 foot open to the kitchen.

The floor plan is not exact. And it is flipped, like a mirror. But the shape and dimensions of the great room are close enough.

With so many features, I'd choose a neutral rug, and maybe on cool side, nearer color of grey concrete than far from it with saturated any. This could bring the outside green inside.

Not sure I want the tv to be the focal point, although the room will be the main tv watching area. It is 70 inches, so can be seen from anywhere in the room. My thought was that the fireplace should be the focal point, but was wondering if the view out the windows could also be a focal point.

The obvious focal points are the windows and the fireplace...the fireplace is not big enough for more than a chair or two...for reading or visiting....the only layout for the window wall that makes sense to me is to center the tv in front of window....with seating facing it that will accommodate as many people as will be needed .....this will eliminate window glare on the tv...and offer the view during daytime...while allowing the doors on the end of the window wall ....for traffic in and out...the space seems deceptively large as the layout is so restricted...so that the seating has to be really functional for as many people as possible...this usually means sectionals or love seats as most people are not comfortable as a third person on a couch....without better pictures any more than this is just a guess...

You are correct. Although the space seems big, because of all the angles, the usable space is much less. Hence, the dilemma. How to configure The space to maximize its usefulnes?

Please use this Icovia Room Planner to create a scale drawing of your space. You can customize the furniture measurements.

This is a layout I hadn’t considered. I like it a lot, although I’d have to pull the sofa away from the left wall of windows to access the door to the deck. Thank you!

Marcy the drawing of the sofa is not to scale, so it's likely the sofa will not reach your door. Additionally, your sofa is not a 90-degree shape so it will not appear exactly like the drawing.

If you were about to start from scratch with furnishings, the layout would be totally different.

Thanks Beverly. I am planning on moving one or two sofas from my current home, and live with it for a bit. If I thought something else would significantly improve the space, I’d consider a new purchase, but I prefer to use what I have. I also like the plants!

Also, I see you put a round table in the dining space- that is exactly how I saw it as well.

It seems odd that all the suggestions have most or all of the seating with its back to the TV and/or the windows.

I dunno, but I think I'd put the couch as in your first photo, and add a couple of chairs in that same zone = TV room. Then put a small cluster of chairs at the other end of the room as a conversational grouping (around a table) with the option to look out the windows or enjoy the fireplace.

Hi, that was my initial thought, to have 2 zones. But because of the odd angles, I’m not sure that is possible and still have a good flow. I will have a better idea how much space there is once my furniture is in the room. Thanks for your help.

The architect of this space probably deserves to be shot, or at least heaped with opprobrium. It is not in any way designed to make use of any of its obvious focal points.

That said, I say remove one source of dysfunction: the fireplace.

You would at least be able to avail yourselves of two of the focal points: the view and the TV.

I agree. The charm of the room was the high ceilings and all the light from the double height windows. Would love to remove or change out the fireplace; however DH likes it. In any event, that would be an expense for another day. Right now I have to work with what is there. Thank you for your input.
