Here’s a picture of dining area with Sputnik chandelier.

Eames Chair stays but would love to have better area here

I would finish conversation area in front of FP by moving bench and getting a coffee table. Single chair under the window has to go to Eames chair .

Thank you @Celery. Visualization, Rendering images! Just to confirm - you are saying move the bench so that Eames chair is on its own in that space, right?

Nope. Read carefully. You will move single chair to eames chair to create grouping.

Or you can go wider if switch sofa and bench ( on my rendering) and single chair goes to eames chair. Then you might not need in coffee table. You will see.

More to go with chairs, flanking FP

I’m not usually a fan of West Elm but we have these chairs and they’re great. Everyone comments on how comfortable they are. They do require a high undercarriage for your table (I’m calling it the wrong thing but referring to the height from floor to bottom of tabletop). https://www.westelm.com/products/slope-upholstered-dining-chair-h4008/?pkey=cdining-chairs

I would do a white laquer finish for the TV cabinet for a bit of connection to the kitchen I agree you need another chair to pair with the eames for sure. I love your house BTW I have a 1956 MCM ranch always been my fave style of house for sure We do not have a TV in our LR but this is ours if it helps at all.We move pieces around often and at Christams we put our tree in the corner window so everything kind of moves a bit .My high gloss white kitchen

Here is an Houzz article how to create two zones in one room. I hope it helps

Wow! I am so grateful for all the inspired suggestions! So much creativity out there. I just felt so stuck!

Your remodel looks great! Love the widows and high ceilings. Decorating open spaces is tough! I would take the mirror down from the fireplace and put a Vitra George Nelson clock in it’s place. I’m not a fan of the bench. If you can afford a koll bench, I highly recommend it! I have two! I also would add a knoll saarinen marble tulip table next to the eames chair. I like your dining table and chairs and that big green plant is amazing!

I was just going to post that you should go looking for some posts and photos by @rockybird ... and there she is! Rockybird has an amazing MCM home that has been updated/remodeled and you can feel her unique personality come through when you look at her decor choices.

@Ali Jensen, I think what is missing from your rooms is your unique personal decor and art ... things that you love and tell us something about you.

You could add a credenza with more color for the tv. I have two from onecollection (finn juhl design). I think other companies make a similar one for cheaper In place of the black chair in front of the tv, you could put a knoll womb chair. It would look amazing! An eames lounge chair would look good too! You could also do a nelson saucer lamp over the table.

I want to give @Celery. Visualization, Rendering images layout a try for the LR. I’ll post a picture after. I’ve always wanted to extend our seating and could do that with a daybed. What are your thoughts on this one? Daybed option

@User – I completely agree with your suggestion for more art, textile, and color. That’s where I tend to get design paralysis! For example, I love my West Elm Tarragon Green chairs but am unsure how to bring other colors into the mix. love the rag rug you suggested. I’d like to add that to my kitchen as a runner!

@Patricia Colwell Consulting I love your kitchen and rooms! I also love your suggestion to have the media cabinet be high gloss white to connect to the kitchen! I’d really like to explore going in that direction What do you think of these? Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4, Option 5? Am I going in the right direction?

@rockybird – thank you for the beautiful MCM suggestions. I’m not a fan of my bench either – it can find a new place to be. Great idea for the tulip table. What do you think of this one? I also like your idea for the media center. I know you suggested the Blue Finn Juhl – I'm interested in exploring the suggestion to use high gloss white to tie in with the kitchen. If I stay with wood - I wonder if this one would work - or would it be too much wood in space?

Beautiful space! Good luck.

I’m still really stumped with this space. Would you add a take behind sectional? We’d love an ottoman - should it be rectangle or round? Assuming it should be fabric, right??? Media center walk needs some interest? Paint? Photo gallery? Throw pillows for couch? Color suggestions?

I think those are great ideas. I would hang two long narrow art pieces on the sides of the TV like this

I do not like art hung on TV walls but I do use Ikea Besta often for TV , a bit of storage and also a bit of disply You might want to check thta out.This is just an idea

I love that credenza and the tullip table is perfect!

To make the TV wall a bit more attractive, maybe you can look at the Samsung The Frame TV if/when you want to replace it.

This is mine, a 75" one. The glass is also matte so you don't get glare from windows or light fixtures. Better than having the black hole when not using the TV!
