The French doors go to The living room. They do get used occasionally. The slider goes to the patio, which we use all the time in the summer. I do like the idea of two sofas, however the room is not wide enough to be laid out facing each other as the picture above.

Do you think it would work laying out the two sofas as an L shape and adding a chair to the right of the fireplace? I just don’t know what to do with those French doors. I have been looking at sofas and loveseats, and with the sizes they come in they will more than likely be blocking the doors. (Or be ridiculously small).

Have you considered a sofa with two chairs?

How would that be laid out? Sofa in center of room?

I think a sectional I’d probably the best option. Especially if you would arrange two couches in an “L” shape. I would pull the sectional off the wall and forward a bit. Add a bigger coffee table.
Colors I’m thinking white. But not sure if that would work for your fam.
The other question is if the rug would fit in the space the other way? Same spot just flipped.
You can also add a bench if you get a new sectional. You can add it in front of the FP....

No matter what you decide on, move seating further into room and place into centre of room. Suggest working on a room planner app and testing configurations and measurements of proposed furniture will be key.

If you place two couches facing each other, all four of you would have to turn your heads to view TV which will be awkward/uncomfortable. Consider an l-shape and if room, add occasional chair(s) if needed. A sectional may be less expensive than two couches and rhete are lots of sizes and configurations. Good set up below for room, with couches or sectional.

Suggest looking at lots of inspiration pictures to help you narrow down choices and your rug is versatile so will suit lots of different looks. Consider your lifestyle and needs as well.

The rug will fit flipped around with 12" on each side. The rug is 10' X 14'

I agree that furniture needs to move closer to the fireplace/TV. I guess the problem I’m Having is the French doors. They are not being removed, they are staying where they are. So, considering sizes of loveseats and even sectionals. I will be blocking those doors. what is the rule about blocking the French doors? We do use them sometimes. The living room is on the other side and then it gets a lot of use these days with everyone being home.

Try moving your sectional down and into middle of room to get a sense if it works, especially regarding door access. Add a console on the wall under the pictures and room will feel better balanced. If buying new, navy might be a nice choice.

I am going to try moving the sectional l and see how it feels!. If I have room, I really like the idea of a consul under those pictures. Also really like the look and feel of this picture that you sent. A gray blue fabric would go perfect with the rug . rock

I love that look! If you head in that direction; some accessories in case you were interested.

Coffee table, ottoman, floor lamp

Re -accessorizing bookcases and adding rattan blinds on windows

Consoles

Could strip dining table

I also saw this seating arrangement - couch facing fireplace, console behind and two occasional chairs. May look more airy.

Ok, I moved the sectional to the center of the room. It is big, so it is taking a lot of space. However, the room feels better to me, and it even looks bigger. What do you guys think? And no, I am not keeping the sectional. I need to buy all new furniture.

Much better and now you can move forward with choices! Good luck

LOOKS LIKE A NEW SPACE!! awesome. So much better!!

Looks much better. Is there space to walk behind the sofa/wall? IF not, maybe a sofa table there for some lamps (and to set a drink down). You could get a a very small footprint swivel chair to replace the chair you have now (if you want) and a drink table.
