Bonus room help

What can we do with this room? We don't want a media room. Room measures 12 feet wide by 15 feet long. The end of the room where I took the picture from is our dining room with dining room table. Please any suggestions.

Is the cabinet on the left staying in the room?

Looks lik you could use some storage and a playroom area. Consider builtins on the left (where your cabinet is, a larger rug perhaps a chandelier and some children's size furniture.

Yes the cabinet will most likely stay in the room. It's a family heirloom.

The sitting areas do look nice but for a modern family with a 2 year old little boy are they really functional. We would like to get some use out of the room and I'm not convinced that a formal sitting area would provide that usage.

The Hirsch photo was simply for reference on incorporating your cabinet with the 4-chair idea. Casual chairs work here too; even a mix of chairs if you don't want to purchase all new matching ones. Center the cabinet so TV can be mounted between the windows exactly opposite it. I'd use swivel chairs that can turn to watch TV. And do light the cabinet, style it with 1/3 books, 1/3 large decor or collections, and 1/3 open space.
