First of all, your going to,want to be looking toward the yard, not the house. A woven rug is nice, but the sectional is very Contemporary and might look better with a more contemporary rug.

Agree with Rachel. Sectional needs to face yard not house and rug needs to change. Also need to add plants and perhaps a throw or cushions on sectional for colour. It’s all very sterile as is.

there is no other way to place the couch, the door is on the other side of the wall

I would return it or sell it. It monopolizes the space and dictates your other decisions but poorly

Definetly the couch needs to face the patio. Can you separate it and place on the side of the sliding door?

The couch faces the wall, but the tv is on the wall it is facing.

ideally i know it would be better for the seating to face the backyard, but i don’t have a pool, or anything special to see.

this is what i have designed so far, let me know what you think .. putting aside the fact that the couch isn’t facing where it should be facing

thanks guys!!

People still prefer to look out at greenery versus a wall. Of course when the game is on, they want to see the game but again, furniture can be designed to do both.

If you don’t want to change the sectional and already have a plan I’m not sure what help you need.

made a few changes to warm up the place a little more
