Will you be adding a TV to this room? Could you please add pics of the other side of the room?

Does this help show the rest of the room? We don't really watch tv much but we do already have one we could move into this room if it made more sense for layout. Mostly we want it to feel comfortable and have people like to hang out in this room. Appreciate any suggestions!

The brown straight chairs don't say "hang out and feel comfortable." I'd try them somewhere else. I'd remove the tall piece wedged in the corner so you can align your sectional with the window. I think the mustard is a nice accent color here. Can you get a second of the little storage footstool so two of them could work together as a coffee table? Top one with a tray and the other with a bouquet of fresh flowers when you entertain. Remove the items for family time and activities. You might add another mustard pillow. I think the spot for TV would be under the gallery of photos and on top of a credenza 25% wider than the TV. Just add one armchair angled toward the FP/TV but not under the opening, more beside the FP.

decoenthusiaste - I love your ideas, thank you so much, especially centering the sectional with window and getting a second ottoman to use side by side. I got this ottoman on clearance a long time ago but I might try to replicate that idea and repurpose this ottoman elsewhere. I agree the brown chairs are not "hang out and be comfortable!" in fact they are falling apart but have lasted us 9 years in 3 different homes :) but overdue to be replaced. If we do put a credenza under gallery wall for tv like you suggest, do you think just one big armchair would work angled toward FP/Tv? I'm afraid it'd make too much empty space but maybe I just need to position right... I'll try to update with some other pictures soon

Ok I took one of the brown chairs out just to see what one looked like even though i want something different. How does it feel (assuming credenza with tv under gallery wall... )? Would some kind of big swivel armchair be appropriate so that conversation could move more easily from tv/fp focus back to kitchen?

I think your idea for a larger swivel chair there is good. Don't get an overstuffed one though!

Here are a few suggestions on what might help your space. Perhaps looking at our designs will spark some ideas:

Kendrah and Betty Wasserman -thank you for the pictures!! Those really help me a lot to imagine the space. I'm searching for a kid friendly coffee table now and I love the idea of a couple poufs/ floor cushions too.

We brought our tv into this room just to see how it feels, and I have to say, even though we don't watch it a lot, we kinda like it here (photo attached). Does the gallery wall still work or should I add a few more frames to fill the wall space around the tv?

Also, I would like to put a new chair (or two?) where the brown ones currently sit but I am just at a loss of what to choose. Any suggestions much appreciated!!!

Not an expert....I don't like the pictures above the tv. I would turn the bookcase so that it is on the same wall as the tv and stand.
