Remove the shades from the windows and get drapery panels. Move the coffee table in front of the sofa. Can you pull the sofa straight out from the wall just enough so that you can put a floor lamp in the corner. Lamps are so much more flattering than overhead lights. Could you show the other sides of the room. Choose drapes, pillows, and throws that go with the sofa and add color and pattern.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. The sectional is way too big. It takes up the whole room and there is one option for the arrangement because of doors and walls. If this is the room that you spend most of your time in, then sell this and look for pieces that will fit your needs. I would be happy to do a floor plan if you would give me the dimensions, how much seating you need, etc.

Since you are combining households, if you have other pieces that you want in this room, let me know. Perhaps you have another room where you can use the sectional. I hate to advise to get rid of furniture if there is any way of making it work. But sometimes it is "live with it or get rid of it"

Give me a few minutes and I'll send out a plan.

What is on wall opposite the window wall? Is that a big entry way?

This is the wall opposite from the window and the other half to the wall with the side that has the tv on it. The space beside the thermostat is the staircase. Thanks so much for your help! I can't believe the generosity you are giving me.

That is a tough room. I hope I have it laid out correctly. I went by your measurements, There is just no room for a sofa and chairs or (chair) unless you push it back in the alcove. You might be able to float a small chair in front of all the doors. I assume one is a bathroom. Have no clue where the other go, but really immaterial. And I added a couple of floor lamps. There is no room for tables. In the second plan I tried to at least give you a bookcase and desk, but you may think that the 2 recliners are too close to the TV.

Second plan on the way

Sorry, this is probably not what you want, but maybe someone else can see a different arrangement that might work better. The chairs do not have to be recliners and if you want regular chairs you could get a couple of poof ottomans for putting up your feet. At least you have a couple of options and I don't know if they are really better than what you have now.

Try a flex chaise sofa, sometimes called a bi-sectional. The chaise portion can be reversed right or left. More lounging space but similarly sized to a sofa. You could put the TV in the recess and float the sofa perpendicular to the window, adding a pair of slipper chairs at the window or facing the window. The chaise can move by the window or away from it to allow the chairs to be reversed. You should have room behind the sofa for a sofa table, or you could put a bookcase on the wall left of the entry door.

I think the sectional you now have is OK. It is large enough for the 2 to be cozy + fits the space like a built-in.

If DH is not happy with the fabric, that can be a problem. Is the fabric microfiber? Does he not like microfiber?
