    I’m also having trouble understanding the layout. A quick sketch would be very helpful.

    Here’s a rough layout since dimensions are unknown. The existing recliner is facing the TV in the family room.

    I just noticed that the area I’ve designated as the family room seems to be only about six feet deep in the photo. If so, there would be no room for a sectional there. If only two people watch TV, the sectional could be replaced with a chaise lounge, with the side table between it and the recliner. I like this space for the TV because it’s dark and wouldn’t create glare on the screen.

    I'm not sure I understand the space either even with the sketches. Why? Because you have a massive amount of brown leather seating occupying nearly all the actual and visual space. How many people need to be seated to watch TV on a regular basis? You don't need to lay out family space as if every day is Superbowl Sunday. Please do not even think of having a sofa in the kitchen! You should rehome one of the recliner pairs and the armchair. Sorry, but that's what should be done.

    Here's what I suggest:

    --Dining table goes into the room with the fireplace. Paint over that green accent wall with the same cream paint as the living room. Go for lightness, openess, and flow to connect your spaces--family/dining room, living room, kitchen. You haven't shown us your dining furniture, but I would suggest getting light gold or ivory, not too tall, upholstered seating--a couple of dining armchairs that you can pull into the living room on Superbowl Sundays and put back at the dining table after entertaining. The ivory will echo the trim on your rug. That green just screams. Perhaps it goes with a rug there, but since you didn't share that space, it hard to give color advice. It clashes with the living room rug, which is viewable from all your space. You want colors to echo each other even if they don't match. Every piece needs to connect.

    Dining chairs like these, only in ivory or gold could get double use in the living room as needed when you entertain.

    --Your massive sofas in the living room area break up smooth visual lines, A dark accent wall would help make the black TV screen blend into the wall where you have it now. Keep the longest sofa on the wall where you have it. Put the double recliner pair in front of the windows, but leave about three feet behind the recliners to pull in maximum light from the windows. Or the reverse: recliners against the wall and long sofa pulled several feet into the room from the window for TV watching.

    --Get a big round coffee table, a nesting one would be great, up on substantial legs with a light top to balance out the sofas.

    --Drapes in a nubby ivory fabric should match the walls so the focus is on the windows and not another color block that breaks up the look of the space. Sofa pillows should be in ivory and gold with just a bit of red. You already have an excess of saturated colors. This palette and with some pattern woven into substantial fabric.

    The big blank wall in the first image behind the sofa is where we suggest placing a TV. You should be able to float the sofa facing the blank wall, on the rug, and then you'll be set. No to couch in kitchen area, you could do the dining room table near the fireplace, and then just a small sitting area in the family room. Look into perhaps doing just two armchairs and a small side table. Here are the ideas as visuals:


    For the family room area, something like this could work:
