Put the couch on the wall under the two little windows. It is your biggest piece and it is blocking up the entire room.The other two dark pieces of furniture (chests or TV cabinet) should flank the door. Put the small one on the right side of the door and the larger one on the left. Use the trunk as a coffee table 18" from the sofa and place the two chairs in front of the window, side by side. Everything on your walls is hung too high, so take them all down and we'll do them over once the furniture is in place. If there is a TV in that larger cabinet, spend the extra $$ to move the connections so you can get the best arrangement for your room and your family. If we could see the other room we might have more ideas that could include swapping out some of the furniture pieces. Comment here and use the Photo button to add more pix.

Agree with above. Put the couch against the wall with the two little windows. I would try putting the two chairs where you have the big couch now (floating in the living room).

I have ten foot ceilings so hanging things has been tough...

I've wanted to build back the original bookcases that divided the rooms better. I'll talk to my husband about the screens and see his views on it.

The bookcases would help with my trinkets and books- we have a lot of books.

In my other room I only have a corner shelf that I could pull.

The other table works as my hutch.

I'll take a picture of that area once my couch isn't in it- it defeats the purpose at the present moment. But that room is just like this only with one doorway that leads into the kitchen. Much better than working with this room!

So now it's like the two rooms are conjoined- I guess the cabinets or suggested lattice type walls could help?

This couch is pretty deep too. It's the Carlisle from pottery barn. It's not too deep but deeper than the Cameron sofa I had before. I moved that one into my awkward nook upstairs...

Bookshelves would work too. If you need storage that is probably better. Maybe leave the shelves open on the top half of the one closest to the front door, add some hooks and you'd have a little closet for your coats.

I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're saying about the hooks. This no entry way isn't ideal but I feel like I have no real options but that...

Don't try to fight the architecture of the house. Your room arrangement is much better now, and the room seems more open and inviting. You could add two round glass topped end tables on either side of the sofa. If you need book shelves, you might be able to put a tall, narrow shelf unit where you currently have your shorter wood piece, to the right of that doorway.

Move your rug under the front legs of the couch and pull your chairs into the room a bit. They look squashed up against the curtains. Then I think it's time to find some art for over the sofa, end tables and lamps.

I have lived in my 1937 home for 32 years. Three doorways and a fireplace have made decorating a challenge. Thankfully,I have finally learned to just go with the flow. Your sofa looks fine on the small window wall. Suggestion, can you live with only one chair? Two nice glass, plexiglass or metal end tables on either side of your sofa would look nice. Invest in two really fabulous lamps. Suggestion, can you add some panels on both sides of the window so they appear fuller and remove the sheers? If it is within your budget, think about investing in art over the sofa with a complimentary larger area rug and sofa pillows. Good luck to you. Take it a step at a time. Don't get overwhelmed and don't buy impulsively. I started with a wonderful painting over my sofa and worked from those colors for my rug and accessories. If you find a piece of art you absolutely love, inspiration will flow.

Please get rid of both the panels & sheers on the windows. They take up visual space & hide the lovely woodwork. Inside mount roman shades would showcase the trim much better.

Some inspiration

In regards to the bookshelf, I'm thinking something like this... but adjust for height of coats or whatever it is you need by your front door. I like the new room arrangement. Like nmp19 said, maybe ditch a chair. In order: Front door, small round table, chair (angled), leaning bookshelf or floor lamp then couch. You would not want to have table, chair, table...

Much more functional, don't you think? End tables will eliminate the need for that. The tables should arrive within 1" of the sofa's arms and a lamp on top should reach the 58-64" mark above the floor. The rug, as well, is a bit skimpy. I like to see them under the front 1/3 of the sofa, but you do need to keep it out of the traffic path, so replacing it is up for debate. I would expose the nice trim at the window. If you're going for a beachy look, you might inside mount some matchstick blinds. A beachy print hung 5" above the sofa's back and another picture above the shorter chest will be good.

I love those lamps. I know the art I'm looking for- definitely nature. I live in the Rocky Mountain region- SLC so I'm not going for a beach look, sadly. .

I was judging by all the white and the rug. Looks like the beach to me. Changing the rug can take you in another direction.

I have a large cozy armchair that's tan with slope arms I could replace the smaller chairs with... I'm thinking it'd make the room more cozy.

Good idea. Let's see it.

Love the screen idea for sure!!!!

Yes to lamps! Overhead lighting will never allow you to have a warm/cozy look. It is very harsh! I think that curtains almost always look best in most rooms. Just add two more panels to what you already have. Your home has so much charm!!

The quantity of windows, large and small, along with the door make it a challenge for you to use the wall space, but the advantage is that you have a natural light source coming in from various sides. This is a plus in any room, giving it a sense of warmth from the light.

I would recommend mid-sized artwork, canvas, preferably gallery wrapped, for the wall with the interior door -- something colorful to pull in with accent colors you choose to use on the furniture, giving a sense of coalescence to the room. The canvas gallery wrap will add a textural touch, "softer" than the glass, brass, and wood of frames. (Because there's so much framing around the windows, getting a break from it in the artwork will add a subtle, relaxing change to the room.)

If you choose to keep the existing artwork, I'd advise fixing the hanging apparatus (most notable on the picture to the left of the interior door), so that the chain doesn't show.
