    Try arranging the 2 pieces in and L shape, with the sofa 2 to 3' out from the back wall and the loveseat 2 to 3' out from the window wall.

    Buy a rectangular coffee table and place it 18" away from both pieces. Add 2 slipper chairs opposite the sofa with a small round table between them.

    A console table with lamps could go on the wall opposite the loveseat or you could place a media console and TV there. Add an 8 x 10' area rug to anchor the seating group.

    On the wall behind the sofa, place a folding screen and a large piece of art.

    A slipper chair is an armless chair with exposed legs, also called an accent chair. An example is shown below. If there's space, you could use 2 chairs with slim arms. So measure your sofa because if you're going to put 2 chairs opposite the sofa, you'll need to know the length of the sofa. If it's an 84" sofa, you could use 2 chairs that are 30" wide and a 18" round table between them. You'll need the extra 6" of space so that things don't look crowded.

    Have you bought this furniture already? That's a rather large sofa and your room would work better with a smaller sofa and 2 chairs.

    Some inspiration, love the big mirrors behind love seat. You could position love seat in either corner with mirror and sofa by big wall if it did fit, depends if you have TV in that room, some nice long sheers over that window

    I am so pleased to hear that you have not yet bought the furniture. Let us know dimension of the back wall and the window wall and I'll give you some more ideas tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone! Back wall and window wall are of the same height 13'. I love wide couches, so maybe....get rid of loveseat and get sofa and chair instead?

    Nancy what tool did you use for the room planner?

    @littleghost77-it's an app called Amikasa. Super easy to use and it's free!

    If you center an 84 x 39" sofa on the back wall, you will have 3' left to each side of the sofa. Place an end table and table lamp on the right side of the sofa and a floor lamp to the left of the sofa. I don't like using 2 end tables, particularly in your case where the sofa and 2 end tables would totally fill the wall.

    You'll need 2 chairs to place along the wall to the left of the sofa. They should be 30" wide by 32" deep. A 2' round table should go between them. You could add a small ottoman in front of the chair that is farther from the sofa.

    On the wall opposite the window, you can use a 66 x 18" media console with the TV above it. A 38" round cocktail table would go in front of the sofa.

    I did a drawing of this for you but unfortunately my new printer/scanner is not being cooperative this morning.

    Thanks carolyn. Hope your printer works, as i would love to see what it really look like.

    Yes, little ghost, your furniture arrangement is what I had in mind. You could use a blind or shade on your window to help with TV viewing. However, here's another option:

    1. Media console, with TV, on back wall

    2. Sofa approximately 8' away, facing TV

    3. Two chairs on left wall

    4. Another chair, angled in back right corner about 2' out from back wall and a foot out from right wall

    Or, center sofa on window and have the 2 chairs facing the TV with a small table between them. The chair closer to the wall would be angled.
