Where will the poor dog sleep? Can the recliners work with a table there?

The doggy bed can go by the tv area... there is an open space there. the sofa does recline so that’s something to be thoughtful of when adding table as well.

I think it might be too tight to do any dining table there between the reclining sofas, island seating, outdoor traffic path, and the sitting room.

Where is your dining area if the dining area is a sitting area that you don't need? Also the drapes should be moved to the living area and install Roman Shades in the niche.

You can have a table with a banquette for your bumped out area.

Your sitting room does look like a waiting room as Groveraxle said. I like the idea of a built in banquette around the perimeter of your sitting room. It could be used for lounging or dining. Also, I think what's throwing me off (and maybe you too) with your open concept is the big couch closing off the kitchen from the tv room. Because your big couch acts like a barrier, you end up with a noticeable dance floor between kitchen and tv room. If this were my house, I'd move the big couch to the wall where you have a chair and move your 2 chairs where your couch is. That way you can move your chairs further towards the kitchen to use up some of that dance floor space. It's kinda hard to tell but I think the rug in the tv room is too small, your furniture looks all crammed around it. From your photos it looks like you have a nice spacious kitchen and breakfast nook then big furniture crammed around a small rug in your tv room.

I wonder if photoshop would help to see the Poang-type chair angled [reading or coffee chair or look out windows], and the right floor lamp or such.

Someone said: if you didn't eat in that nearby spot, why would you eat behind the sofa [for tv watching?]

Thank you everyone. I am actually going to remove the furniture and take some better pictures so you would get a better view of the kitchen/dining/living room. I would ideally like to do a sitting area in that room (like a sun room with some plants on the side) and still have some sort of small breakfast table in the middle but yes, it might too cramped - hence the problem. Thank you again for your input. It is truly appreciated.
