justgottabme: Yes! excellent plan! The Tv needs to be in that corner next to the fireplace -- either mounted on the wall or sitting on a console or cabinet. Having a cabinet in that spot would anchor that whole corner. And more excellent ideas above too! Love the idea of bookshelves in each of the corners -- perhaps just try basic Ikea Billy shelving -- or other build-it-yourself shelves (try stores like Targer or Walmart)-- just to see if that plan will work for you? Or look for vintage shelving or bookcases on your local Craigs List! Swivel chairs can be found -- check your local Craigs List! But for now -- once you move the TV -- try placing one sofa facing the fireplace -- and another one facing the window -- forming the classic L-shape.

It looks like you have room for the TV to lay flat against the wall with the big window. I would keep the sofa where it is on the long wall, put an enclosed console table under the TV, flat on the wall next to the window, and put a long upholstered bench under the large window. It can be used for seating when needed, with storage underneath. Or try your yellow chair from the corner in front of the window with room for a second chair. You need a floor lamp on the far side of the sofa and an end table and table lamp on the other end. Turn your rug so it lays the same direction as your sofa. Remove the ottoman and all the extra small pieces of furniture. Remove the curtains and rod. Put the same roman shades on your front windows that you have on the smaller windows. Put a few sturdy hooks on the wall behind the door for function.

thank you! I have considered this but still worried because my fireplace is not centered to the room. plus you would see chairs as soon as you walk in the front door. do you think either of those things would be bad?

As best I could I tried to make my furniture fit your plan's dimensions. Standard furniture dimensions for sofas and chairs is 3' front to back and usually 7' wide for a sofa, 5' wide for a loveseat and 2.5 to 3' for chairs when bought as a set. Chairs can be less wide, such as THIS TYPE, when they have narrow arms. You should always take a tape measure with you when shopping for furniture to make sure it will fit before you buy. While a sofa would fit beneath the long window, it was impossible to square chairs to it on the right without taking up much of the traffic space on that side of the room. So I placed the sofa against the other window wall and set a loveseat under the long window. This gave space for 2 chairs with a side table between. Choose a narrower rectangular side table to allow more space to walk around this grouping. I've placed a low cabinet/book case with a large TV opposite the loveseat. It's best to place a TV where there will be no backlighting or reflection from a window. The style of furniture you buy can make a difference in how well it all fits. For instance, Leather Furniture often has large arms and backs, whereas Mid-century Modern has narrow arms and backs. Look for something in between these extremes that will fit your tastes.
