Can you post a photo? Your description sounds like your TV is mounted pretty high...? Center of it should be about 42" from the floor.

few suggestions for you. yes, mount it as low as possible w/o the heat affecting it. please move your sofa forward a bit. it doesn't have to actually sit back in the bay window portion. you can do a sofa table in the actual bay, and move your sofa in front of that. kind of like this (see how the table lamps are on the sofa table? eats up that blank space) then find an inexpensive flat weave rug (5x8 should be good) and a rectangle type of ottoman or coffee table. here are examples. don't look at the style so much, just look at the furniture placement how the rug is used you could also do 2 small sofas and place them like this, w/the chairs over by the window do a few chairs like this in the bay window area, and try the sofa in another direction. this should open the room up for you a bit

Could you post more pics from different angles too? Along with measurements on a sketch of floorplan as asked. Milk door—- is that a shallow closet? I see 2 doors but don’t know which you’re referring to. Small point needing clarification - is it you or the two dogs who want to see out the window? Sorry if I’m being dense but it makes a difference! I guess I’ll also ask this now - if that piece of your sectional were to be placed width wise with its back to the window - the door on that right wall couldn’t open - is that correct?

You have two possible locations for the TV with this arrangement. See red star. The room will accommodate a sofa and two side chairs if you do not oversize them or a sectional in the same location.

I recently had a designer come over and she recommended an l - shaped sofa on the side of the steps to the windows, coffee table or ottoman, in front, and the TV would be place on the side wall by the kitchen and deck. This way, the entrance unto the house wouldn't be blocked off. I would like to add a chair for additional seating perhaps on the right side of the fireplace.

what would you recommend?
