Unless there is a TV in the space the view is the focal point IMO . Why is thta a problem? But I really need to see the whole space so better pic of the whole area might be helpful. Post here in a comment DO NOT start another post.

The more info you provide, the more helpful/less conflicting the advice will be.

1. Floor plan/measurements/doorway locations, etc) are key, especially since you are purchasing new furniture. Traffic flow and balance will benefit from the largest seating choice placed against a wall, just based on your picture.

2. How will room be used…TV, kids, seating accommodations, entertaining, daily needs.

3. Advise your style and preferred colors and if you can show pictures of rooms you like/saved, please provide. You mentioned you are changing the flooring, if purchased can you show or provide link. Hopefully you haven’t bought, so that furniture, wood tones, colors and flooring choices can all be coordinated.

Seating grouped around a nice coffee table is a good focal point and looks inviting.

For LVP make sure the specs are at least 5mm and waterproof.

creating a barrier from the entry with a sofa table would be an option.

Behind a sofa, or even two chairs paired in the seating area.

I think we need a lot more information. For instance, why does the aquarium have to stay on that wall? You'll have to move it to do the floor so maybe it could go elsewhere. Would you be able to sketch a floorplan and post it? I would look for small scale apartment furniture. I like to lay down on my sofa so I bought a loveseat and half - bigger than a loveseat but smaller than an apartment sofa .

Your dogs are perfect accessories!

First give us an actual floorplan of the space. You need smaller scaled furniture.

I think you can have a sofa and 2 club chairs but it’s how they can be placed is the dilemma.

You need to be able of course to comfortably enter and walk around.

I have a small great room in my Florida home.

Walkway behind the chairs.

I would go to a furniture store like Ethan Allen with your floor plan to get an idea of all sizes of sofas and chairs that are available..
