If that's a game table between the two chairs. I'm especially fond of that kind of set-up. Do you use the log box left of the firebox, or could you have it wired for the TV to go there on an articulating arm so it could be pulled out and adjusted for viewing? I know the FP heat might limit its life, but it would consolidate your two focal points. I find the sectional makes for a blockaded feeling - don't go near the fireplace, its dangerous. A 3-seat sofa and a pair of swivel chairs would open things up and make it more inviting to enter and be seated. Angle the sofa to face the TV, add coffee table 18" or less from it and the have the chairs face each other over the coffee table. They'll swivel to watch TV or to have conversation. In addition, if you entertain lots of people at one time. you could add a snack table behind the sofa with stools to match the ones at the bar. Seriously consider removing the drapes and swag valances which are really dated. On the sunny side, you might add some new hi-tech UV film to prevent fading of furniture and carpet. Probably a little too casual and man-cave like for your room, but the concept of the snack bar/sofa table is here if you need more seating on game day.

Another voite to remove the fireplace and hearth. Will you keep a desk area? If so, I would move it to the wall left of sliding doors, put the sofa table on the wall where the desk is now and the sofa against it. A lamp or two on the sofa table. Sleeper sofas are super heavy and sometimes not that comfortable to sit or sleep on. For comfort, a left hand chaise would be nice for TV viewing. With the FP gone, the TV could go to the left a bit and could sit on a small media cabinet. Rig sized correctly and a small round coffee table. ETA: After looking at photos again, I see that is NOT a desk area. If FP is removed, you could use that chest on the "new" wall with the new/smaller TV on top or hung above.

The way the furniture is pictured creates a box that impedes traffic flow. Put a sofa against the window on the left wall. Then two chairs perpendicular to each other on the corner where the 7 A-7 circle is on the drawing. The dimensions shown aren't sufficient for me to be able to tell you how large the sofa can be, but get something small so that you have room for at least one end table in the corner. You should have room for some type of coffee table as well. If he needs a TV, hang it on the wall next to the window that is next to the door on the right wall. Make sure not to hang it too high - this is a common error.

I am so touched that you all have taken the time to give me so much help, thank you so much!!! (And thank you to my husband for helping me move the furniture to try out all the suggestions this evening.) Some specific replies, in order: Jenny, I tried the arrangement as you described and like it, it has the advantage of having a nice view out the window from the loveseat, and creating a cozier conversational area. The bench could go in front of the window. I've moved it temporarily to the foot of my bed where it is working well. (I have a different bench in the front hall.) Mytwo cents, I also tried the loveseat in front of the window and it looks better than I expected. Thank you for the diagram, so helpful. I'm going to add a photo of my sofa/loveseat fabric, and of the area rug. I still like the chair you sent me a link to, I prefer the lighter blue but think maybe the navy would look better with the current furniture and rug? I really like the window treatment however, though there is a bit of clutter, I adore the view out my window so don't want to block it. I'll add a photo. The hanging basket had to be shorn recently so isn't at its best yet but overall it's a lovely view. There is no pink in the area rug, just blues and greens and a cream background. The wall color is Sherwin Williams Liveable Green 6176. I like the idea of a blue coffee table. And I love all the pillows, I definitely agree they would pull in the painting (which I really like, too), as well as the carpet and walls, perfect choices, thank you so much. maymay99, I am open to another color, do you have a suggestion? I use blue and green in my kitchen and attached family room, like this room, with the addition of touches of yellow and a bit of pink. I was going for a more serene look in the living room, just blue and green, but am open to adding another color. auntthelma, if the loveseat is under the window, it does not block the entrance to the room on the north wall as I thought it would, there is room. And I agree about the sofa being more welcoming if it faces the main room entrance. simplynatural, thank you so much for taking the time to do the diagrams, that is SO helpful, both for furniture placement and to give me an idea of what else the room needs. We tried all the arrangements. And yes, I do still want to use that mirror (thanks for making that connection), it is beautiful, however, my husband just told me it may be too heavy to hang as the wall studs are not where they'd need to be. (I'm buying the mirror from a friend and can return it if we can't make it work.) #1 I like the idea of ottomans in the center and it is not a problem to not have a direct path to the door on the west wall, that is not a path that is normally used. (The kitchen is on the other side of the door and there is a separate, more direct way to access the kitchen.) The bookcases are a great idea, my husband and I both like that. #2 The loveseat moved closer to the sofa is cosier. I like mirrors used vertically but not sure it would work in this room, I'll have to look at it for awhile. #3 The loveseat in front of the window works a lot better than I thought it would, definitely a possibility. #4 Now that I've pictured round ottomans, that's what I want! Plus they would be extra seating. I do love my coffee table though and it works well in #2. All the diagrams and specific suggestions have been so helpful to me, thank you all again so much, you are all so kind. And I welcome any more thoughts or suggestions. I'm adding photos of my sofa and loveseat fabric, the area rug, the view out the window on the east wall, and the mirror that I love but am now not sure I can use. (And I'm wondering if it's a little fancy for the room? Thoughts?)
