It's hard to tell the full area w/furniture placement from the pics you posted. Can you post a diagram with room dimensions, including indication of room openings and windows? Where are the TV and fireplace in relation to the rest of the furniture? Thanks!

Also, can any of the furniture be returned? You are right - it is a lot in your space!

Without understanding the full situation, for sure I'd try to center the rug, place the two sofas at an "L", and flank two of the chairs (probably the wicker/rattan and light blue ones) on either side of the fireplace opening and place the two little tables on the outside of those chairs.

I think it is too much furniture and it looks a little crowded. A diagram of the layout would help.

Also it might not be too bad as the couch is far away but the tv is mounted a little high.

She said she liked the look of a cozy and intimate space...

Ouch!

Way too much furniture. It's difficult to determine where the TV is in relation to the furniture.

Here are the living room dimensions. Bay window with couch, fireplace is in between the built-ins.

The TV is across from the bay window, on the wall by the built-in.

I like more space than stuff, but that's me. How many people usually use this space? How many guests usually use this space? I don't like coffee tables, but instead like tiny tables at each end of each seating unit. That's plenty for a drink. If this were my place, I would sell the wood chair (to the right of the loveseat), the coffee table, and the octagon tables.

That TV should be over the fireplace or on the built in. You have three chairs and none of them really match. Seems like the designer was just out of school.

Could you also measure the width a depth of the two sofas, the chairs, the ottoman, and the side tables?

I think the two octagon tables should be returned. Maybe the ottoman.

How about flipping the love seat and the sofa? Move the wicker chair near the TV.

2 end tables which seem sufficient, so what about the tables under tv hiding cords too?

Here is the wicker chair next to the fireplace. I like the idea of the TV in the bookcase or above the fireplace. Thanks for all the great ideas! This has been tremendously helpful!

That chair looks good there. You might want to try moving the other blue chair to where it was and removing the octagon tables. The post a photo for us to see.

You must be breathing better, because I am!

Putting the TV on the fireplace wall will open up your room.

BTW - That is a nice rug!

It does feel better in the room now! I think I can find a place for the ottoman and maybe find something smaller. We love the rug.....thank you! :)

Would you show the wall where the tv is currently. . Is it on the only window free wall?

I’m assuming this is the wall where tv is, but I would like to also see the actual wall, if possible.

.

TV definitely has to be relocated if it is on that wall. I think the main sofa should be on that wall or in vicinity thereof. But I am trying to understand the space, so a pic of that wall would help.

The short, dark blue chair by the fireplace looks out of scale. Compared to the other seating, it looks like a child's chair. Could it work in the master bedroom or foyer? I think your designer's major problem is that she threw a loveseat into the mix. They are usually boogers to arrange with, rarely seat more than one person and I don't like them unless used alone in a small room for a single person or a newlywed couple who still want to make out while watching TV. Or sometimes they work well at the foot of a bed in a larger bedroom.

I think you should get rid of the love seat and put both blue chairs together on that wall with a small table between them. The blue chair between the couch and loveseat is just an awkward placement and way too crowded. That would give your fireplace some breathing room too. Leave the other chair where you relocated it by the fireplace and then see how that feels.

@freedomplace1 the TV is on the wall marked with the red.

Thanks, @shirlpp . And now I also see the pic at top of post with tv on the short wall. It seems like all the furniture is basically piled up on one side of the room, and I am still not seeing where this long window free wall is in the pics.

This wall is still a mystery, at least it is to me.:)

That is the wall with the loveseat and end tables, I believe, but it has a window which is not shown on the sketch.

I like it better without the two small tables and since there are end tables there, there is a place to put thing down. Now, would you try the blue chair on the left side of the love seat to the right side. I know it will be in front of the case opening, but I think there is enough room to move.

Thank you, @kcooz07 . It’s late in the evening where I am, and I don’t think I’m understanding the space at this moment. I’m still missing a wall, somehow. I am also not sure about the sketch/layout and specified room dimensions. It would really be helpful to see pics of all 4 walls.

OP might have left the building, though. :)

I think the OP is sleeping. This is the wall.

Thanks, shirlpp. I have figured that one out, @kcooz07 really helped. But what is on the wall directly across from that wall on the other side of the room? Have we seen that wall? Is there another wall there? And according to the sketch and dimensions it would be a 20 foot expanse from the current loveseat wall to whatever is on the other side of the room, and parallel to that single small window wall.

I think I need to go to sleep, too. :)

The built-ins and fireplace.

At any rate, I would suggest putting the main sofa where loveseat is now, and probably a floor lamp on left side of sofa instead of the table lamp and end table there. And maybe just a small scaled end table without a lamp on the right side of sofa. Two chairs in front of the bay window. And either move the loveseat out of the room, or perhaps put it on the other side of the room directly across, but not knowing what is over there it is hard to say for sure. And I agree with @decoenthusiaste in terms of the blue chair by the fireplace being too out of scale to the other pieces. So if you could find a space for it elsewhere in the house, it would be good. Maybe in the foyer, if you could use a chair there and if it would fit..

Thanks, shirlpp. I definitely do need to go to sleep! 😂

Ok. So there is no room for the loveseat. You would be better off with two matching well-scaled chairs to flank the fireplace. Plus the other two chairs in front of the bay window. That is seating for 4 and then with the sofa, you have seating for 7. You could have folding chairs on hand for when you need to seat any more than that. The loveseat in the room is just too much.

Lots of great ideas about furniture placement on this thread. Just want to say I LOVE the furniture that you purchased, the rug, the color palette, all of it. Just needs to be tweaked a little and you will have an amazing room.

Love all the ideas!!! I think the big blue chair is still a little awkward here.

I still think that there is just too much furniture for the room size. However, if you are feeling the need to keep most of it in there, try this. Move the switch the couch and loveseat and then put two of the chairs on either side of the fireplace angled like you had them. Maybe that will work better, maybe not.
Your pieces are lovely and I know we all understand your frustration having gone to a designer and still having issues.

Your floor plan is not showing the single window behind the loveseat, so I'm hoping it is also not showing a duplicate bookcase on the left side of the fireplace. You've never taken a shot from the blue wing chair to the opposite corner.except to show the TV. Is that a foyer left of the TV? Could one of the chairs go there beside the console table?

I was able to move all the cords and equipment from under the TV to the cabinet under the bookcase. Progress! Now I just need to move the TV and I will have a free wall to the left of fireplace. I added a picture of the wicker chair next to the fireplace and also in the foyer. Does the chair in the foyer work? Thanks so much for the suggestions!!

The chair and the console is too much furniture in the foyer.

Didn't realize the chair would be squashed behind the door when it is opened. I guess I really don't like the wicker chair; how about trying it on the porch? I would rather see the wing back moved out from between the two sofas and placed right of the FP or left of the current TV location. Once the TV moves, you might try that.
