Please post a photo of the new sofa that you've ordered.

If you would like to receive advice/suggestions re: (i) furniture layout, (ii) designing a feature wall (fireplace/media console/tv/etc.) = the focal point for the living room, (iii) area rug (style/color/size), and (iv) decor accessories (lighting/textiles/botanicals/vases/other types of home accents) - please prepare a scaled sketch of the room that includes dimensions for all walls/windows/doors/doorways/etc.

It will take just a little effort on your part to prepare it - however, it is necessary in order to receive the necessary assistance in order to elevate your living room to look like a professionally designed space.

Does this help? Attached is the 1st floor floor plan only the layout is reveresed. Attached also is the pic of the couch purchased. As far as decorations, my daughter is first time home buyer so doesn’t have anything. She’s ready to buy! Wants creams and neutrals and some blues. Wants to get entertainment/electric fireplace unit with decorative wall behind it just in living area. Room sizes 15x15

Please post picture of other wall. Looks like there are several windows.

There are no other windows in living room area. Just the sliding door in back.

The new sofa doesnt really go well with the existing chairs. is it to late to reconsider.

A couple suggestions: 1) Center the sofa on the wall. 2) Move coffee table in front of sofa.

The oversized swivel chair is kind of cool, but its shape is too similar to the other two swivel chairs. Maybe replace with a smaller, lighter accent chair in leather or with wooden arms. The new sofa is very beige. Is it a done deal? If so, replace any matching throw pillows with something with color and pattern. A textured throw blanket might help, but not if it’s just going to serve as another pet bed. Dark greens or rust colors would work well.

Any suggestions on area rug size and furniture placement? Sofa is already ordered. Was wanting to use the pieces of furniture she had. She is definitely going to accent with color

I would choose the 10' × 14' rug. In a 15' × 15' room, it will define the entire seating area and allow the sofa and chairs to sit comfortably on the rug, making the arrangement feel more substantial and complete. I would center the sofa on the wall and position the two cream swivel chairs opposite it or at a slight angle, while keeping the route to the sliding door open.

Since you are now developing the complete look of the living room—not only choosing a rug, but also coordinating the furniture, colors, feature wall, lighting, and décor—this video should be especially helpful: https://youtu.be/R-2ZyyBc6EY

It shows the same living room transformed into four fully developed interiors. Seeing how all of the elements work together in each version can help you choose a clear design direction and create the elevated, cohesive look you want for your new space.

Extend the curtain rod so that panels are on the walls.

Here is the idea:

Sofa, back to slider (just pull it forward about three feet, to make a corridor.)

Once it is place correctly, find the middle of the 15' wall to make room for a fireplace/tv.

Now the room is centered, the two swivels will go opposite sofa with coffee table in the mix. Hopefully, odd chair can face the t v...

As for the rug...thinking a 10x 10, or 12 x 12 to fill the room, but leave a border of the lovely floors showing.

As for the other solid wall, a long console, lamps, art, maybe two ottomans tucked under would fit nicely.

With the brown sofa, the brown drapes, just continue on with pale neutrals to get the look she wants.

A comment on the electric fireplace. Be aware, they make a lot of noise. Check out the product, because some are so loud you won't use it. That is an outside wall, so you could do a small propane tank and have gas logs....with an authentic looking firplace, similar to my photo.
