Normally an 8x10 rug should work for a space like this

There is only one wall where you can place the TV so that’s one less decision.

It still amazes me that people order furniture without taking measurements or creating a floor plan.
IMO the sofa with the chaise is better paired with two lounge chairs rather than a loveseat
Did you order a sofa with the chaise on the right side or left side as you face the sofa?

The chaise is movable so I can.place on left or right. The rug is 8 by 10. Maybe the loveseat is too close to the wall? I'm not sure If the TV console should be where it is or on the opposite wall.

Hi Junco, thanks for the comment. We would just like a table for 4 or maybe a foldout that extends to 6. We see ourselves having a sectional couch and maybe one glider for the baby. The space is long, so we could picture having a couple occasional chairs and a table at the end of the space. or maybe something more interesting than that. The hallway leads to the powder room and garage and a storage space under the stairs (behind the media niche). here's the whole floorplan. We don't anticipate having any other living areas/dining areas. The grand room at the front of the house will be a creative space.

Pretty view. Do you need light control on the upper windows? What is your budget? Two story window treatments are very expensive. If you are able to keep the upper windows uncovered, you can still have a lovely room with nice, full panels or other treatments on the lower windows. Do you have existing furniture for the room? Will you be keeping the same paint color? What is your plan for the the fireplace area? I can see that you made some changes already, what are your next steps?

I thought of that, but then that other room would have nothing in it but a tiny futon, a guitar (hanging on the wall), and a small keyboard stand... and I already own the table and chairs!

I think the blue chairs with the white couch will go perfect but for both options you have to change the color of the table.Either paint the table of use a table cloth with a runner .That too will look good.How about adding a rug since your place needs some more character and definition. colors like forest green,olive green,mustard are also some good choices for chair color if you want to add some fun to your space.

IMO a fixed chaise is never a good idea for seating and that is really bad since who ever sits there is forced to sit with there legs up on the chaise . Just get a sofa and 2 chairs no loveseat which really are just a big chair where you can't reach one arm rest. An ottoman that can have tray on it for snacks or drinks is a better choice IMOIf you trully want help we need a to scale floor plan posted here in a comment in jpeg format DO NOT start another post

pix from further back to show the whole area would help.

Is the TV to be mounted above that console by the steps?

Looks like you have plenty of room for a larger rug.

We might suggest rotating the rug and then once the sectional arrives, place it where you currently have the loveseat and place the loveseat on either side of the sectional.

The TV seems like it can work in that space and the rug should work. However, you might consider turning the rug so that it is horizontal not vertical and then removing the loveseat and placing the sectional in that spot. You could easily flip the layout though and have the TV/console on the big blank wall behind the loveseat. Please see how we've positioned these sectionals in our designs below.
