Can you post one more photo of the door wall, please? You can do so here in the comments.

Sorry I don’t have an overhead light in the room!

No worries, Christina. I was hoping to get a full photo of the door wall. Can you stand in front of the fireplace and take a pic?

Oh, I get it ! Haha! I promise there is typically not so much crap piled by the door...

Sofa belongs on the window wall, TV on the wall the sofa's on now. We need to see the door wall to see what to do about storage.

groveraxle, thanks! The only thing with that is that that window is south facing so all the light would shine on the tv...not that its on all the time, but with sun staying out so late and two kids, I'm sure this would be a problem....

You would need blackout shades on that window, but you need a better window treatment anyway.

It looks like you have room for the TV to lay flat against the wall with the big window. I would keep the sofa where it is on the long wall, put an enclosed console table under the TV, flat on the wall next to the window, and put a long upholstered bench under the large window. It can be used for seating when needed, with storage underneath. Or try your yellow chair from the corner in front of the window with room for a second chair. You need a floor lamp on the far side of the sofa and an end table and table lamp on the other end. Turn your rug so it lays the same direction as your sofa. Remove the ottoman and all the extra small pieces of furniture. Remove the curtains and rod. Put the same roman shades on your front windows that you have on the smaller windows. Put a few sturdy hooks on the wall behind the door for function.

My first thought was to place the TV on the large wall and the sofa opposite in front of the windows. Because of your concerns, I think calidesign's idea might be a good option. Is there room to the right of the large window for the TV? If so, I can imagine an arrangement similar to the below. Maybe Fifi can have her bed below the front windows.

Also, included are some ideas for mid-century furnishings. I chose an orangey-red for an accent color because of the painting of the two people on a bench that you have. I think that's a really neat piece! The bench could be placed before the fireplace.

If you can part with the settee in the dining room and replace with chairs, you might be able to "borrow" some of the wall space for a coat rack.

Have you tried putting the sofa facing the fireplace? You could then potentially put a console table across the back of the sofa, facing the door, which would give you the storage you're looking for.

We might try the sofa on the wall with windows, and the TV on the full wall directly across from it. That might make the set up work better.
