Yes^^^I would definitely go with a sofa and 2 chairs in this case. You're wise to not do plaid again. A solid color would look better and be more calming in the space you have. If you're set on a stripe, maybe something very subtle for the chairs.

Sorry, you didn't ask but my eye was pulled to it. I like the framed art you have over the mantel. Think about hanging the two frames at the same height. About 5" above the mantel can work well.

Thank you! I will definitely try that. I agree with everything you said just having trouble seeing it, would the two chairs go by the bay window? I have two couches because it did give me the additional seating.

I would probably put the chairs by the bay window, but I'm not sure there's room. You don't want them out of 'conversation grouping' with the sofa. You also don't want furniture to look crammed in the space. You might remove the ficus tree, especially if it's not real. Rooms with some open space are nice. I'm not a pro, so see what some of them can suggest with furniture placement.

Solid colors will be more enduring and won't get dated so quickly as prints. Do the prints with throw pillows. A 3-seat sofa and two upholstered armchairs are almost always failure proof when decorating a room. Are you blessed to have some nice hardwood under that shag carpet? What a difference that would make! I would almost opt for flooring instead of new sofas; it would totally change the room. Just keep the better sofa, sell the other one on Craig's List and add a new pair of armchairs.

Unfortunately there’s no wood floor there, we are getting new carpet so wood is a possibility. Thank you for the suggestions!

Jody, decoenthusiaste mentioned solid colors being more enduring. I've found that very true, especially when it comes to larger pieces of furniture.

I’m definitely going with sold colors now. I would like to get away from the brown. Maybe some soft blue or green.

Why not try smaller furniture? We think perhaps a sectional or a sofa and two chairs might work better. Here are a few designs of our designs that might help:
