Another option would be to place the sofa on the long wall with hubby’s recliner on the other side of the fireplace, opening up the walk way into the family room and to the door beside fireplace. The tv could be mounted on the opposite smaller full wall above a wider lower cabinet with the beige chair beside it I front of the half wall. You’d lose the ability to see the tv from the kitchen, but it would provide some separation so the tv is not front and center 24/7. The teal/yellow chair, teal pouf, blue pillows, and tall shelving units would not be needed in the space. Hang photos on wall in hallway or in bedroom.

Thank you, Susan for the ideas. I didn’t see your post until today. I really like the look of the couch on the big wall. I wonder if I could put a mirror above the couch in a way to reflect the tv into the kitchen. I’m guessing not. I could get a small tv to go in the kitchen.

You’re welcome. 😊 You could try a mirror but may be better to fit a small tv into kitchen. I think the living room will look/feel/flow better with the bulk of the seating on the long wall. Best wishes!
