And we need a measured floor plan showing all windows, doors, etc…..

The pictures show the windows and arches. The room is 17 by 13. Windows are on the long wall. Is that enough? I don't have a floor plan.

To be able to determine a furniture layout, we need a floor plan showing all dimensions which will determine location of entrances to the room and window.

what is the length of the wall with the thermostate on it?

I tried to update the original post with pics labeled with measurements but I cannot delete the photos. So here they are!

@BeverlyFLADeziner I like that layout. I could even add another chair, eventually!

No one sitting in the additional chair will be able to see the TV. Be careful.

Here is quick scale sketch. Your chairs are lovely but scale is too big for this space. Maybe one could go in a bedroom! Each square is equal to one sq ft. I guessed at length of your sofa. If it is longer than than about 9” the only layout is as Beverly posted. Good luck.

My guessing on measurements it turns out are on point.

@BeverlyFLADeziner That is true, but it's a big area to leave blank, and I'm not a plant person

How long is the sofa?

I would look for a swivel chair for second chair in seating arrangement. Here’s one. Living Spaces has great furniture at affordable prices. And made in U.S.A. https://www.livingspaces.com/pdp-dani-cream-velvet-swivel-barrel-chair-313059?utm_test=spotlight&utm_source=google&utm_medium=sem&utm_campaign=google-all-accents-purchase-sem-standard_shopping-prospecting-main_control&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADAzBFYdN-E3-BsOIDiYucv9cafaC&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzrzABhD8ARIsANlSWNNhRtbfPcsjmP1A8hMNhoxwQqtQwA8Wg5vlNhKJZNvbOEFcjDBJke4aAufpEALw_wcB

Comes in blue, mustard yellow and white. They have many. Check out their website.

@Flo Mangan 7 ft.

Oops.

In fact, I would put a pair of swivels in this space.

Here's the furniture layout I suggest...

Oh great. Then the sofa as I placed it works even better! And in Hines like this, there is usually not much of an entry drop zone so with a slim sofa table behind the sofa with a pair of lamps you can place baskets or cubbies below for extra storage. Then add reasoning floor lamps near chairs for additional lighting. With TV on wall facing sofa, you can add mirrors either side to help bouncy light around the room if you want/need that. Lots of fun options.

Sorry for the auto fixes. Drives me crazy. Not “Hines” in “homes” like these. This layout dilemma is common so you aren’t alone.

I agree with Flo's layout. I had a very similar living room once upon a time and that's how I arranged my furniture. Otherwise the TV is in an aisle which is awkward for circulation.

Yup - The tv on that 13' wall seems to be the best bet!

@lisedv I like this option too!

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions! You have given me some great ideas.
