I agree switch the dining and living!

Me, too!

Yes, that's my first thought as well-switch the living and dining rooms. There are more opportunities for upholstered seating and TV viewing in what you are calling the dining room than in the windowed room.

That's a great idea. I understand the love of windows and sun especially on cold winter days but I am not seeing a particularly compelling view out your windows so a dining room would be a great use of that space.

Switch!!!

agree with "switch"

I do not think switching a room you spend little time in for a room where you spend a lot of time is good idea. The view on the left in the listing pic IMO is the view you want to see so use furniture that faces that view insted of the fence . That is ecactly what the other owners did in the space .

I agree with Patricia! You love the view. Your seating area should permit you to see it. Swivel chairs are your friend. Depending on how much seating you want to have in that space, perhaps a couch with two small matching swivel chairs and one stationary chair would work. Keep your dining table in the area designated for dining.

Maybe switch living/dining, but orient the living area to the smaller windows that also look out on the landscaping?

I also lean towards the swap but more info/ pics needed of what the other side looks like.

Switching affords you the ability to see the views from the kitchen and the living room where there won't be as much solid masses of furniture in the way.

Again, I think the living area should be where all the windows are located. I, for one, would not want to have to sit in a dining chair at a dining table every time I wanted to take in that lovely view. I would want comfortable chairs and a sofa to sit in. Have you considered taking out the small window in the dining area and expanding that window to a full width/length view, too? Just for the sake of those dining at that table.

Here are a few furniture arrangement options if the living room stays where the big windows are. You asked for: (1) no large furniture at the windows; (2) ability to watch movies/sports on the window blinds; (3) a place to lie down with your dog. You didn't say how many people need living room seating (looks like only two at the moment).

Option 1: Seating away from windows for four, plus extras perched on low bench, movies possible, especially if right-side chair swivels; short loveseat only so probably hard to lie down with dog.

Option 2: Seating for five (but closer to windows), plus shorter low bench; longer sofa for lying with dog, but harder to watch movies.

Option 3: Seating away from windows for four (plus low bench), long enough to lie down with dog, movie-watching possible.

Others might offer better ideas.
