. We need a to scale drawing the windows doorways etc all marked every measurement clearly marked . All done on graph paper to make it easy then post here in jpeg format in a comment DO NOT START another post. I would i nclude that DR space by the kitchen in the raised area too.

agree^ without any measurements and knowing what you need and will reuse hard to answer. I would start with placing what you are going to reuse. Dining table centered on window, TV mounted on the wall where necessary, sectional positioned for viewing, etc.

What's left? only get/use what is needed, keep it simple.

Thanks both. We are considering buying all new furniture. The current setup is temporary. We plan to mount the TV on the 10’ bathroom wall.

You have three zones to fill, the dining area and two legs of the L on the lower level of the step.

I'd center a dining table on the stair wall and allow for a path from the foyer, front stairs and bath. You have plenty of casual dining seating at your island and tables are nice to have for guests, crafts and games. A dry bar or buffet in that zone can support entertaining.

The lounge area can stay where it is now, the TV can also be viewed from the kitchen.

You can add overflow lounge seating in the "dining area" adjacent to the kitchen where people can visit with the cook or people sitting at the counter. It looks like you have little ones, a small play space can be incorporated there too.

Be sure that all areas are cohesive, especially if you add a play space. Closed storage for toys or dishes and if you must keep a pet crate here, look into consoles that incorporate them. Light fixtures and rugs can help define the zones.
