Have you thought of putting seating on an angle? Either the couch or 1 (or both) chairs?

The actual space available and how you are going to use it is important.

Is this your only living area?

Or is it the formal LR and you also have a family room?

What do you want to use this space for? Mostly entertaining with no TV viewing OR mostly for TV viewing with friends?

What do you have on the other walls?

From the photo, the foyer hallway seems to take up a lot of the overall space in this room, which is why a floor plan and all measurements would really help, if you want suggestion/ideas/layouts that will actually fit the space.

This is a setup that you can try out. The proportions are a bit off in this photo but it can give you a general idea. The space seems small so you can only fit so much into it, therefore I suggest only using one of the accent chairs here if you want to keep it a TV viewing/living room area. This is not the exact console i'd use, it's to give a general idea of where to put the tv. You can put the table with the lamp on it on the right side of the sofa for task lighting. If you have another space in the house that would be a better fit for a tv area I'd consider exploring that too.

I’d lean toward option 2 and keep the TV/console on the wall where the cables already are. It keeps the room more open and lets you keep both chairs for when you have guests. I wouldn’t move the sofa under the window just to accommodate the TV.

For the console, I’d choose something fairly narrow and visually light so it doesn’t make that wall feel crowded. Avenue Design has some nice media consoles in different sizes and finishes, including customizable options if you need something shallower for the space.

I would keep both chairs and avoid putting the TV in the corner. Since you mentioned that you also use this room for having people over rather than just watching TV, losing a chair to solve the TV placement would be a poor trade-off.

I’d try the wall where the cables already are, but instead of putting a bulky TV stand there, I’d wall-mount the TV on a swivel/articulating bracket. That would let you angle it toward the sofa when you’re actually watching it, while keeping it flatter against the wall the rest of the time. A shallow, low console underneath would give you storage without crowding the sofa.

I also wouldn’t move the sofa under the window yet. I think keeping the sofa and both chairs gives you a much better conversation area, and the TV should adapt to that layout rather than dictate the entire room.

I recently experimented with four completely different transformations of the same living room, and it really shows how much furniture placement, focal points and lighting can change the way a room works. You might find a few useful ideas for yours:

Thank you !

Glad you like it! One thing I’d check before mounting the TV is whether direct sunlight hits that wall at any point during the day. Since the window would be beside the screen, glare may not be an issue, but if the existing blinds don’t block enough direct sun, blackout curtains could solve that problem.

With such a large window, I’d actually replace the blinds with full-length curtains. They would make the room feel much more elegant and less office-like. I’d choose a deeper contrasting shade or perhaps a subtle pattern that picks up some of the colors from your entry rug, and not add more beige.

I recently used thick, opaque curtains in a living room I designed with a $2,000 budget, where the goal was to make the space look far more luxurious than its actual cost. The curtains were only around $30. The ones I used are blue, but the manufacturer offers many other colors, so you could choose something that works beautifully with your room.

I’ll leave the video here in case you’d like to see how they look in the finished space — the link to the curtains is in the video description:
