I would start by mounting the TV ON the wall. For me, where the closck is now, so you don't see the TV on entering the house, and passers by don't see what you are watching through the window.

put the sofa along the long wall... It's the largest piece of furniture in the room, get it out of the way. Build a seating/conversation area around it and facing the TV.

The credenza with a table lamp and mirror as a hallway table is useful once the Holiday decor is removed. Do you have a closet nearby or a couple of hooks for hanging coats?

Agree with Lyn on moving the sofa to the long wall. Once it's there, that wall is your best spot for art, and it can take more than you'd think. Aim for art about two-thirds the width of the sofa (a typical 84" sofa takes 48-60" of art), hung 8-10" above the sofa back. Your walls are large and fairly empty right now, so one big piece or a set of three will make the room feel finished faster than several small frames. A quick trick before buying: tape the outline on the wall with painter's tape and live with it for a day.

Sofa looks updated, but the two leather chairs and the table below the TV are making it look dated to me.

If you’re just looking for a new layout do you have room to try either of these ideas.

I like the first picture Emily posted, not so much the second. I would prefer though, to have the couch on the wall, where the tv is, and some nice big art work.

Since you want to keep the furniture, I'd try fuller, floor-length curtains before buying new pieces. Warm ivory would work with both the sofa and the dark chairs. I'd hang the rod wider so the panels can sit beside the glass when open, and check that the fabric falls clear of the chair backs.

Here's a curtain-only concept from our Paintit.ai team, keeping your current arrangement so you can judge that one change.

I don’t like the ”feel” of coming in the front door and seeing the whole sofa back. I don’t know anything about feng shui but maybe that’s what is bothering me.

Emily’s first picture is my favorite except for the lamp under the tv. Seems like it would create a glare there.

Getting the tv down out of the corner would be my first step. I don’t like the barroom feel of a tv mounted high.

The tv is mounted way to high for good viewing. Do you have a piece of furniture you could set the tv on, so it would be at the proper viewing height.

This layout might make your room feel much larger as you enter.

Since you want to keep your furniture, I would focus on giving the room a more coordinated colour scheme. The light sofa and dark chairs could work with cushions that repeat both tones, plus one accent colour you enjoy. I would also consider a substantial piece of art for the long blank wall and a table lamp with a shade on the console against the wall on the right for softer evening lighting. Those changes could help the room feel more finished without replacing the main pieces.

For inspiration, I made a video showing four different design concepts for the same living room, exploring how lighting, materials and decorative details change its character. You might find a colour combination or detail you would like to adapt to your own room: https://youtu.be/R-2ZyyBc6EY

If the furniture stays, I'd keep the layout and change the envelope: repaint the walls, add mouldings, hang curtains high and wide, and put a slim cabinet and a big plant in the empty corner. Same sofa and recliners, but the room looks like a different place.
