Hello Toni,
I think what you need to consider is not so much getting more furniture but to create distinct sitting areas in your great room. It doesn't need to be just one single big grouping. If you break it up, it starts to become much more interesting. If you start there then you can see what pieces including consoles, rugs, lighting are needed to define it.
