how many people usually use the room? and do you prefer to sit straight or to lounge? if you mostly prefer to sit straight...and it's your main living space in the house where guests of different ages come etc..push the sofa closer to the window..(since the bookshelf is not staying)..two armchairs facing: one, the TV, another, the sofa..kinda angled, like they're having a conversation, you know? the coffee table gets to be in the middle.and you can add a side table between the chairs. maybe something round, so not everything gets to be rectangular etc. I'd definitely put TV lower either on a console ot over the console. in this scenario TV stays where it is but you get a) much better viewing angle b) storage c) simply nicely composed space. It can still swivel so you don't loose that function. The console should be longer than the TV. If the mirror stays over the sofa it needs to be lower. The rules of art and mirror placement change when they are over the furniture..they should relate to the said furniture. There are guidelines, but generally you can eyeball it ..if it looks good then it's good. If strongly prefer to lounge..then instead of sofa you can get a sectional with corner part under the window. You might be able to put a chair on the other side of the coffee table, depending on how big or small the chair is..you don't want to cramp it too much. If no space for a chair-consider switching your coffee table for an ottoman (don't match exactly to a sectional). can serve as a coffee table very easily if you have a tray on it. But can also be used for additional sitting if you have company..especially kids love these. You can have a side table on one or both sides of the sectional, depending how much space you'll have. I'd definitely add some lights. A table lamp. Or a floor lamp. These are food for specific tasks like reading or mending; they're also create pleasant ambient light. You're more in control of your lighting thus mood you want to create, and function you want to get depending on what you do, if you have different lights on diffrerent levels. I love your curtains and floors and a rug..and a dog..:) It will be a very cozy room

There would be enough space on that wall. My concerns were placing the sofa against the windows. Since the windows are very low (Down to about 1' to the ground), a 37" high sofa would block 2 feet of window height. Depending on how far into the room the sofa is, that would take 2' off of 2-4 windows. (The window location in the render is not 100% accurate, but if you look at the picture, it'll likely cover all 4 windows) In addition, those windows go to the backyard, which we would get afternoon & evening sun from. We were concerned about having a lot of glare from the sun if we put the TV opposite of the windows.

Very similar to our last home. When the plywood decking was down before flooring went in, I measured and drew island out on the floor and used a large cardboard box to put where the sofa with sofa table would go. Then DH and I marked under the "sofa" for the outlets. Your electrician should do a walk thru with your to discuss outlet and switch location before the rough-in. The large window, is there a view you want to face? Or the other wall of windows, does that open? View? With range wall, island and then table/chairs all in a row, I would want to break up the lines by doing the sofas or sofa/chairs in the opposite direction.

Thank you, Patricia. Here is a rough outline of the patio area. All of the patio is concrete. The grill area, open patio area A and covered patio area B are all on the same level. There are steps from area A into the backyard. I have noted 2 doors into the house. There are also steps on the right of covered area B into the side yard (the steps are the entire length , 21.5'). Covered Patio C is one step higher than the rest of the patio (it is part of the original house foundation). I am interested in the area in covered patio B. We would like to put a dining table and a separate seating area (maybe arranged to view the yard?). Our style is traditional (not coastal or modern). Thanks for any advice you can provide!
