    Does the TV have to stay where it is? It's very high

    I love your sofa!
    Now to answer your question. One idea would be to have the sofa face the fireplace with tall cabinet that's now to the left of the fp on the wall where the sofa was. Place the matching chairs on either side of the fp. Without seeing the actual floor plan and dimensions, I'm not sure where to place the recliner.

    I feel the same way as jck does about the TV looking awfully high for ease of viewing. If you are willing to change that I would have other suggestions.

    Lower that TV, upgrade the ceiling fan, move the chair from in front of that beautiful cabinet. What's that on the other side of the fireplace?

    Unless you prefer to cut the room in half by closing it off I would float everything as Sewciable suggested but to keep it flowing I would keep the way you have it place both pattern chairs together with side in between facing front at sofa not at in an angle.

    I was thinking of viewing the TV when I suggested moving the sofa. I agree, that wouldn't be my choice if the TV could be moved.

    I like it as you have it. What is it that you don’t like? The style, can’t view the tv??

    Lower the TV

    Place the blue chair so the TV is viewable

    Place an end table with table lamp between the sofa and chair

    Place a canvas above the sofa

    So nor use the light from the fan.

    Add an accent light over the cabinet

    Select a larger rug for the room

    Tv can be lowered. Chairs can be changed out. Any suggestions on a rug to tie it all together? The cabinet to the right has the audio and cable box on it since the cords are in the wall to the right of the fireplace.

    What about the 2nd or 3rd that BeverlyFLADeziner posted? The blue chairs are not bad.

    Agree with rug, furniture placement advice above. I would also get a white "hugger" ceiling fan so it disappears.

    When you get a larger rug, center it on the fireplace. Pull all the furniture onto the rug. If you watch TV from the sofa, have it face the fireplace and the chairs can either flank the flank the fireplace for be where the sofa is now. Arrange your seating so everyone can talk without shouting across the room.


    A second look suggests to me the TV could go to the left of the fireplace on an articulating arm. Then arrange it so two seats face the fireplace and the other two face the window. That would put the TV at a better height for viewing and keep it from being the focus of the room.

    Lower art and TV (think SEATED EYE LEVEL). You need a much larger rug. Lamps give flattering light. Each sitter needs a convenient place to set down book/drink/food.

    I just noticed you have three chairs in the room. None of them relate to the sofa or to each other. Think of a seating arrangement roughly as a circle where every sitter can look at every other sitter without turning their head.

    Sorry I left the room kind of a mess, but here's a neutral rug with texture from Crate & Barrel.

    A little fine tuning. I couldn't actually move your chairs, so I got you new ones.
