I’m not one to say never put a tv over the fireplace but in this case I don’t think it works at all! That is one huge tv and it is way too high! You also have the luxury of space so yes, you can do two seating groups in here! One can be for simply relaxing and sitting near the fireplace; the other on the opposite side of the room for tv, entertaining. Your furniture doesn’t need to be crammed up against the wall either. You can float it but you don’t say if you intend to keep what you have or buy new.

BYW, I would want to arrange the furniture to take advantage of that fabulous view! Not stuck in the back corner!

Lol I agree about the TV but I lost that battle with the hubs 🤦🏾‍♀️ So I’ll live with it.

Couch is another temporary but it will be staying for now. we do get full view of the water from that position. i Hear what you’re saying about not having to put couch against the wall but if I move it, it’s in the walkway, so that’s one of my challenges, at least while I have that couch!

I guess you’ve already answered your own questions then😉 You have to be willing to change a few things to make it work. Switching the tv and mounting it on the opposite wall doesn’t seem like such a big give. Post a floorplan if you want help and be willing to change some things.

I’m totally open to suggestions and def willing to change some things! Next challenge with moving TV would be that the furniture wouldn’t be taking advantage of the view, right?

you could have both tv on the back wall and setting with views. your room looks large and right now you're watching tv from a mile away. it's hard to help with layout without dimensions and relation to other rooms, though!

You can put the couch in the middle ... coffee table in front of couch and the walkway could be in front of the coffee table

Lol! @decoenthusiaste Thank you for your honesty!! Nothing in the room is permanent. We literally just moved in a few months ago and bought second hand furniture just to have something to use til I find what we really like. But now with baby on the way, new furniture will prob take a backseat, so trying to see how we can work with what we have for now lol. Now do you see my challenge? Lol

@BeverlyFLADeziner Thank you for that! I can def see that layout working.

Not the best at drawing plans but these are dimensions

The basic layout Beverly posted is your best bet and you might be able to put a table behind sofa or a reading/feeding baby area you might need. TIP, get a good rug pad for your rug on your tile. It will eliminate telescoping of grout lines in rug and be more comfortable. I would also remove those drapes and unless you need privacy, which doesn’t look like it hence I wouldn’t add any drapes. Possibly solar shades if you need light control. A few strategically placed plants might be all you need.

You will eventually need that area behind the sofa for the tons of “stuff” babies require or accumulate. So get a small rug for that area for play area.

Pull the sofa forward. It won’t fully block the entire path to the door. If the round table has to stay, move it to one of the back corners. Get some pillows that tie in the colors of the couch with the rug and/tile. I would get a different style rug altogether- probably moroccan.
