Fred Gonsowski has some ideas for your long room arrangement that might help you. We need to see all 4 walls and all the furniture to make specific suggestions.

Here are photos of the four walls. The room is 18 feet 10 inches long and 13 feet 10 inches wide. Thank you.

What are you using the bonnet top armoire for? Is it a wine/coffee/smoothie bar?

How would you feel about a transitional style rug? Transitional rugs feature traditional characteristics accented with a twist of contemporary style equating to a classic, timeless rug design. Our transitional rug collection takes the familiar features of both traditional and contemporary styles blending them into something unique and beautiful with a little less formality. We wish you the best!

Beautiful room, but I would remove the wingback chair and move your white chair without the ottoman closer to your rug.

Oh wait! I just saw that you don't have a rug. Ha! Move it in closer to your sofa table.

I think everything looks pretty good. However, :>) I would put the armoire flat against the wall move the white chair to the end of sofa to share end table and find another room for the wingback. Perhaps a bedroom. Or try it on left of FP with a floor lamp for a cozy spot by the fire. I'll post some rugs that might appeal to you.

Ideas for rugs:

Size them for your large room. I also think maybe you can do w/o the tall bonnet top hutch & have two matching chairs instead of the two unmatching ones. Also have an ottoman which is properly sized for both chairs.

I love your huge beautiful room although sometimes they are quite hard to position the furniture. It took me awhile to realize the room adjoins another room next to the FP. Do you have steps on both sides of the FP going into the dining room?

It is a traditional armoire that opens and has only a clothing bar. For now I am storing bed linens and decorative pillows in it. It's not wide enough for the TV or we would have converted it.

Crate & Barrel. Nice with the stone FP

Your room could easily hold two beautiful rugs. I would go with oriental or Persian type of a high quality & they do not need to be alike. One could overlap the other even.

Sandra, yes there are steps on either side of fireplace. The home was built in the 70s- it is a typical "sunken" living room. Not ideal but it's doable.

I love the idea of a transitional rug! I'll check out the website. Thanks!

I would also suggest that you get a TV console that is longer and a bit lower. Console should be 25% longer than the TV. That would complete the wall and really make the room look better.

Good deal with the stairs, now you can re-locate that wingback to a nicer home.

I would get an 8x10 for the sofa area, pull the white chair onto that rug, then get a 5x7 for in front of the sliders and stairs to dining area. Maybe a black and white with dark background by sofa and the same colors only reverse to lighter back ground by sliders.

Susan, what furniture would suggest I put on the rug in front of the fireplace? It would look lost if it were bare.

Give me a minute and I'll try a new arrangement.

Would you want to use the armoire for a bar? Wine, liquor, coffee or smoothie bar? It does need to go against the wall, and it can make a good counterbalance for the FP, but you might need to move it to the opposite corner to get the visual weight of the two balanced. How about mirrors and glass shelves in the armoire? The TV and big chest under it are also weighting that wall. You have a great room for two back to back sofas, but the sectional prevents that arrangement if it can't be separated into two functional sofas.

Can you arrange your area like this? The room is to scale, but don't know size of sectional or TV or staircase wall. So just guessing.

Would a games table be used by your family? Could be used either used for board games or puzzles, or a place to sit with a laptop. Very useful for entertaining as a serving table. Our living room is long and that's how we have set up one end. We have an armoire which divides the 2 parts of the room, where we keep the games and puzzles.

I love your black and white look going on. You could use an accent color to add some interest. Yellow or red or really any color you like can be used in your new rug or pillows or candles (although you've used the candles on tall candlesticks a couple of times). You may want to consider adding some interesting art over the sectional at some time. I love that your little dog fits right in to the decor. You're close to having a fabulous room. Rug(s) will really make a huge difference.

Susan, we have had the sofa there and I liked it but my husband thought it obstructed too much of our lake view.

Armoire flat against the wall, wingback relocated, tighten up the white chair with the sofa, new art above The sofa, and new lamps and rug.

Use cold lighting instead of warm, it will make the room
look casual and brighter.

Beautiful room and you have a beautiful room. Do you have room on your patio to move the furniture away from the centre of your doors so that you would have a more unobstructed view?
