Furniture living room Design Dilemma

How should I arrange my Sofa and Loveseat furniture?

I just bought these couches, and I am in love! I am also in love with our tv center. My only concern is the layout. I for sure don't want to change where the TV is, because there's no other wall space to move it to. I am however open to how the couches are laying out. Another thing that should be taken in account for, is that for the wall behind the sofa, I was wanting to put a bench there to make putting on and taking off shoes easier, but I am now reconsidering, since I do not know if it would feel too cramped as a result.

IMO you do not have sapce for abench behinf the sofa and I hate to say it but those pieces are too big for the space and a chair would have been a better choice than a loveseat but now they are here so maybe a little stool by the door where the vase is and now you need some art on the wall behind the sofa would be a good place to start. Please add at east 2 more drapery panels to that window take away the basket and you need some lamps and at least one end table between the sofa and loveseat I am thinking no space for a coffee table but that might just be the angle of the pic.BTW if you need a place to put pillows when you are seated you have too many pillows

I love those furniture pieces. Can I ask where you got them? I need a new sofa and loveseat soon. Have you tried placing the sofa on the wall rather than floating in the room. It's unconventional but it might open up the room some.

Help! How should I arrange the furniture in my office with big desks?
Q

Thanks for quick the reply! I do not receive clients in the room, so I don't need any other chairs. I was contemplating a small chair with an ottoman for reading, but haven't decided yet. The window on the right in my pictures looks out to the backyard, the window on the left looks out to my neighbors. The office is on the second floor. Nothing will distract me, I enjoy glancing out at the windows and the birds. I'm going to add light filtering shades in case the glare gets too bad. I'd like to avoid being in a position where they need to be down all the time because of glare since I like looking out the window so much. The second desk will double as my drawing space and for my makeup. So, I will be reaching for it on a semi-regularly basis.

That is VERY wide and VERY deep for such a small space. It seems like the TV is in the best spot. You should look at apartment sized couches (68"-72"). Not sure what your budget is, but this one has a lot of customization available. https://www.interiordefine.com/shop/charly-custom-apartment-sofa#JLA-8852-29/Leg018-1

You don't really need a coffee table, since you have the side tables. Just tuck a c table under the side of the couch where there is none. That should free up some space. Since you want to put a unit where the chairs are, the chairs will have to be relocated. Even with your two couches and chairs, you only have eight seats. Add more with poofs or ottomans. Relocate the two chairs in front of the fireplace (with their backs to the fireplace). Or as suggested, move the couch that's in front of the window to face the other couch. Then the chairs can go in front of the window. I agree with art going around the tv.

Suggest removing drapes (replace with bamboo blinds) and you’ll have wall space by door to do something like this. If not replacing, the curtain rod is sagging and could be adjusted.

You could add a runner behind couch to create an entrance/hallway illusion.

If it were me, I‘d paint the interior of the front door and add complimentary cushions for more interest and help to pull the space together.

Think about adding a rug to ground seating area and a sisal rug with the bamboo blinds would be simple for your small space, but feel more finished. I can’t see another room layout.
