I don’t see that it is a big deal I do however find it odd to have 8 seats at the dining table and only 4-5 in the LR and the white sofa off by itself. Maybe post a to scale floor plan it might help

Thanks Patricia. The whiteish sofa is no longer there. It was just there until I got rid of it.

Also the area is not really the living room. I’m not sure what to call it...maybe a keeping room or room for coffee? I guess we don’t have a room living room as I just moved our sectional from tv room to main area.

This is the floor place but the furniture is not placed this way. I found the living room furniture to feel really spaced out and not cozy. And then to the left of the dining room table was a big space and designer recommended a bench but I hated that idea bc that bench would never be used so more wasted space.

it looks nice. I say live with it for a while and see if it works for you and your family.

advantages of a tiny 2nd living room is when the family is hanging out together. some people might want to be at the table with laptops or coloring, etc, while others are lounging nearby. you can still all chat and be comfortable.

I do love a seperate TV room away from conversation and since this is amore a coffee spot now I would leave it for awhile

I don’t think it looks bad at all. It looks comfortable. BTW, I really like that light. The only thing I see that concerns me is I see a lot of legs with the furniture in the old dr area. Have you tried the sofa opposite the fp, in the spot where the two chairs are?
I see that little trampoline, been thinking about getting one for my granddaughter, does your child use it?

I'd slide it just a tad more toward the windows, but there seems to be room to walk by.
