Since there are several good choices -- what does the room measure.. are the ceilings high? is there an abundance of empty floor space ?

For shape, I would go with either #2 or #3

I think a rich cream color would look very nice with the rest of the room. I am thinking something very much as the pillows in the left of your photo appear. Then if you're not totally wed to the mirror above the fireplace you can bring in artwork and some candles to pick up the cream of the chair. I assume the recliner you mentioned is in the upper right hand side (where for some reason another commenter moved a television into place.). A pillow or small throw placed on the chair can correlate to the rich cognac color of your sofa and love seat. Good luck.

Hey Mikeala, while you may have to make some compromises due to space restrictions, you can definitely fit a compact couch in the room. As @mindshift recommends, it would a good idea to keep all your furniture compact and as small as possible. I've made a couple of options for you here. (All dimensions are approximated from the images you have posted) For the first layout, I've eliminated the coffee table and added a slim console by the entrance, a wall mounted TV and an end table. You could also buy nested tables so you could stack them when they aren't being used. For the area by the staircase, I've added a tall bookcase and a couple of chairs for extra seating. adding a mirror would give a sense of a larger space, I've styled this room with modern furniture with a touch of hollywood glam. For the second option, the entrance is more open although the TV unit has been placed on the large wall. This allows TV viewing from both seating areas and yet separates the space. You may prefer this layout if you don't like the idea of having a living right at the entrance. I've styled this room with Scandinavian furniture. Do send us measurements and photos so we could further customize these for you. You could also add/ swap furniture and make your own layouts here.

If you can have a tall bookshelf that is open and almost to the ceiling for your projector placed behind the sofa and plug it into the floor; I (think you said you have an outlet for the projector?). The shelving unit as wide or a bit less wide than the side and will act as a room divider; have it made in two low pieces that you can stack and secure. A cabinet maker can do this for you. Then work around that for the rest of the room. Look up rooms with dividers and shelves in them on Houzz To get inspired If the shelving has a backing it can become a wall toward the dining room. It the shelves are open the items for accessorizing the room would be visible from both sides.

That's a great idea about ordering the smallest size! I never thought of that! I love the first rug you posted and a mockup of it looks good too. I was able to find it on a couple of other websites. Funny thing is it has terrible reviews on Home Depot, but mostly great reviews on Wayfair! Posting links just so I can come back to them later. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W69L4NC/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Artistic-Weavers-Rhene-Bright-Red-9-ft-x-12-ft-Area-Rug-S00161021323/313918263 https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/world-menagerie-crook-oriental-bright-redbeigeblue-area-rug-w001646412.html My only concern is that it is not a woven rug, it is a printed/stamped rug. The furniture in the room is placed as in the photos of the room I posted. Off the walls and towards the center of the room, but against the window which is in the middle of the longest wall. So plenty of breathing room on 3 sides :) Good to know I don't HAVE to put anything to fill up the spaces. I'll find some art for the walls. Thanks so much for all your help! I never would've thought to go red!

The ceil is high, the room is long but not wide so there will be only one armchair.

I like the first one, the arms are the same shape as the sofa but it's not so matchy matchy like the bottom two choices. And I like the "glam" of the legs/base.

I like the swivel one best but honestly only one chair in a space often looks lost so I would need to see the space .That sofa looks quite large so a chir will need to be quite large in scale too.sinc eonly one chair maybe just get the matching chair and then work on the colors etc with accents. rug art etc.

Patricia, you are right sbout one chair. i really wanted two but they will be backing to a front entrance and the room is not wide enough to fit two chairs without blocking the entrance. so only one chair and the end table with a lamp will git. adding the pictures of tbe room. thanks !

My least favorites are 2 and 3 as I’m not a big fan of tub chairs (but especially with your couch) and the amount of brass on third feels a bit too sleek. I’d head towards a modern/casual, inviting feel.

From entry: "back of chair [end table with lamp]."

Seems I've seen sofa/loveseat with console table behind it... maybe 1 lamp near wall outlet...
