Here are the rest of the photos. Thanks!!

Well? Less crowding: ) nice big 9 x 12 rug

Perfect world ? Four super comfy chairs

How about a nice blue sofa and loveseat with the two yellow chairs and an area rug that has those colors in it or is white? Actually, the area rug you have would work with blue and yellow. I would paint the shelves next to the fireplace in the color of the new sofa or the yellow chairs. I meant to say both shelves next to the fireplace---try blue.

Loveseats are really just a big chair with no cahnce to reach both arm rests. Sectionals are really even worse sinece 2 seats get an armrest each and all the rest are seats just like that one no one wants in asofa (the middle() A sofa 2 chairs are great if you have 2 sofas and 2 chairs . The perfect seating is all chairs FYI I do not like odd ball chairs thrown in . I looked at you pics yo have space for a nice sifa and 2 chairs . IMO the wall clutter on the FP wall is distracting and making the space feel cramped . Take the shelving off the wall , wall hang the TV on the right with an articulating arm a nice low cabinet below it and the TV mounted at the proper viewing height on the left a match cabiet and piece of art above it tobalance the TV Then some nice simple mantel decor.. If the TV is going all the better.

It looks really crowded as-is, so you are right that the sectional needs to go. Are you sure you have room for two couches? How many people would be seated in this room on a regular basis?

It seems your ladder-plant-stands add to the crowded look. Must you keep them?

Thanks everyone. The ladder shelves don’t need to stay. This is our main “adult” entertainment area. Seating for 6 is ideal so we can seat 3 couples.

I don’t understand Patricia’s comment on the loveseats. Aren’t love seats preferable because then everyone gets an armrest?

Love seats tend to be comfortable for one. Meaning you take up valuable real estate, when a comfy chair would be better. A sofa is generally comfortable for two. Only when necessary do you find three people, nobody wants the middle, and everyone wants an arm.

You need not crowd the room. It's small, and for occasions with two other couples? You yank in a chair, or give ONE of these an ottoman: ) handy extra, with the bonus of you can enjoy a seat by the fire. Just keep it to no more than 18 x 24 in size. Let it sit in front of the fire
