First, lets get the furniture sorted out. Pull the front 1/3 of the sofas onto the rug. This will ground the seating and allow you more room in the dining area. Chairs need 24" of scoot and sit room at the table. Take new photos once you've done that and do some measuring of the newly acquired floor space in the dining area. Let's see what you have room for.

I don't think you can get your sofa 1/3 of the way onto the rug as deco suggests, but try to get at least the front feet onto the rug.

Also, where is the front door? Is that opening by the dining table the only entrance into the room?

What are the dimensions of this space? Dining area looks squished. The sofas look too far apart for conversation. After you get the furniture set in place,you can introduce more colour and texture with art,pillows,lamps,etc..

I do think the dining-side sofa could be pulled further forward, but on the other hand that might make the angle to watch TV a bit awkward. So as much as I like your rug, I'd like to see it a bit bigger.

I think you need to draw inspiration from the warmth of your lighting, including bronze/gold tones in the room. Here's something I did earlier before I got distracted by life:

I'm playing off the warmer colour of your lighting to introduce bronze, gold, those kinds of colours. And I've gone eclectic in the coffee table, which I think you can certainly do. That hewn industrial look cuts against the cooler modernity of the room. Alas, I had a computer conk-out and lost the source for that table. Also didn't get around to working on the TV stand, but I think you should probably look for something simple that works well with your dining table -- in this scheme, the coffee table is the eccentric star of the show.

Hi,
It s a 20 m2 room. I ve moved the the furnitures. Now there is 60 cm space for chairs. And there is 50 cm space between sofas and coffee table. What do you think?

Rina,
Thank you very much for your comment. Your draft looks so good. I also consider bronze tones.

It's a pleasure. Looking back, you may not have to change the TV stand at all. White is a feature of the room from the units that are there -- heating? airconditioning? Do try moving your sofas just a bit closer together, as Groveraxle suggests. Let them slip a bit under the couches on both sides. Bonus, more room for the dining area. Inches can make a difference. Gosh, it's pretty rug!

Hi Rina,
These units are heatings. I felt like furniture s styles are not in harmony. But i will think to keep tv unit :)

Yes, the first thing I would do is look for a great coffee table. The one you have is cool, but it doesn't have the warm feeling you're looking for. Fortunately your sofas are very adaptable, and would provide a bridge between simple modern and something more earthy. And ooh, they look comfortable.
