    You have to much seating in such a small area. Why change the seating arrangement. Have the two chairs float against the window wall. Place the extra sofa in another room.

    Also, do you need the fireplace? And does it need to be in this room? It feels a bit claustrophobic for me.

    Here’s some inspiration🤍🤎🤍 hope you like it (worked hard on this one lol)

    Note :
    I used the “frame tv” from Samsung to make it less noticeable…

    This are add pictures for better idea. Yes the fireplace will be next to the stairs. The room dimensions are 12-6 x 13-6 if that helps any

    There is no requirement that your coffee table and end tables match, but it is important to have a theme of consistency throughout your design. This can be achieved by the use of colour, material, shape, or scale. Scale. The size of your furniture matters, just like it does in any room.

    The greatest location for a coffee table is typically in the middle of your living room, which is typically the focal point of the entire area. However, there may be more than one visible center point in long, narrow, or L-shaped living rooms.

    Thank you for the extra photos..very helpful. Which way is the longer span(1 foot longer)…I’m guessing it’s from the dining room opening to the opposite wall.

    Before you purchase any coffee/side tables, a better furniture/tv placement layout is needed currently and will most likely need tweaked again if a fireplace enters the mix. The current furniture layout does not even acknowledge that there is a tv in the room and the small couch should not be in the middle of the opening to the kitchen/dining area. It’s such a warm/cozy space already, do you really need a fireplace? A few cozy throws on a rustic ladder may be the answer…functionally and aesthetically. If a fireplace is added, will it be built into the wall or protrude into the floor space? What size will it be? Will the tv/fireplace be centered one above the other (which will likely have them centered width wise on the full part of the wall o the right of the staircase opening) or will they be offset? All of these answers impact the furniture layout.

    So I guess you won’t watch TV in that room anymore?

    I agree with focusing first on less seating and how you want it arranged.
    How do you like to reach a drink or snack? You might find that side tables do all that - especially if between 2 seating pieces. And can augment with a C- table. Not every room needs a coffee table especially if it constricts legroom or makes it hard to walk around.
    Then, do you like to put your feet up? If is it the “ sofa sitters” or just one person? If so that would lead you to a sturdy ottoman but still sized for your room, or a table that’s more rugged, or a footstool for the lucky one.
    Those are things that I would consider before buying new furniture.

    A better layout (if it fits?)…remove the small sofa in the dining/kitchen opening. Pull the end tables in closer to the other seating. Then turn/float the whole grouping, so it is facing the tv/future fireplace wall. This will also allow space for entering the home and moving to other areas without walking through the seating area. Tweak the coffee table so it is centered between the chairs.

    Susan. yes electric fireplace will be to the right of staircase, 5ft wide from floor all the way to the ceiling and will stick out 12 inch from the wall. will downsize on tv so is not so bulky and will place above fireplace. yet thats not how we planned to leave furniture, just got it and just place it randomly

    The space looks better after the more pictures you shared. However, I would remove the sofa opposite the one near the window. That will open the view and traffic flow. Then, add a coffee/side table to match the interiors.
