Help layout small waterfront living room

last year

Small Victorian cottage in Maine. We’ve moved the kitchen from the waterside of the house to the middle so we can have a sitting room with water views. This will be the only room with a TV so it needs to be comfortable and sit six people. It’s a three bedroom Airbnb…. This is the only access to the deck and also has doors to the kitchen and dining room as well as the half bath. No half bath can’t move, I know it’s a terrible location, it’s better than when it opened into the kitchen sink with a barn door! Note the photo below shows it at purchase as a kitchen, imagine no cabinets. More photos to follow with measured plans.

This was my first concept, tv on the longest wall with a sofa facing it. Deck and water view is at the top of the plan, rest of house is at the bottom

Other option is to have the tv on the right wall between the bathroom door and the window. For the purposes of the conversation pretend I don’t have any furniture.

Photos of all four walls. Walls and ceiling will remain tongue and groove and will be painted off white, floors get painted dark.

I like the second option for the fact you can look out the window from the sofa.

I agree the 2nd one allows more of a view to the outside . I never like painted floors unless the old ones are all different and in bad shape and even then refinishing is IMO better than paint. I do not have any idea of your style so maybe share a bit of that .I have never thought the style of the house needs to be the driver for the interior , so painted floors say cottage is that your plan for the decor.This is my LR in a 1905 tiny house proably a cottage if it was at the lake No TV but could have gone in front of the non working FP
