Your furnishings are quite contemporary so, you're just a few steps away from the look you're aiming for. The color balance is a little off. Toning down the wall color to a neutral off white with hints of grey in it will do loads to improve the look. Yes to the hardwood floors! A darker hickory finish is doable, but you'll have to be very mindful of balancing it with with other design elements such as an appropriately scaled area rug, a lighter wall color and lighting. Take a look at the below photo and notice how the dark floors and furniture are counter balanced by a large scale area rug and a light wall color. In this situation, the dark floor reads as an accent - not a feature. I suggest you configure your sectional as shown in the above photo by pulling the loveseat away from the wall and joining it with the sofa. To visually expand your living area, choose window treatments that are a similar color to the walls, not contrasting - a helpful tip for narrow living rooms. You could consider inset shades for a clean, contemporary look. You can keep your rusty red as an accent through your artwork, throws and pillows. For the dining area, I'd consider a simple parsons table that seats 6-8, a buffet for between the windows topped with a large sunburst mirror nestled between two contemporary sconces. A modern chandelier with a bit of dazzle will round it out.

Good morning, Rebecca - well, afternoon where you are in Ontario lol. I don't think your space is big enough to handle a sectional. You could, however, do the sofa with chaise, as I mentions last night. This way, you get so e extra seating (not to mention stretch-out room for TV viewing), but the size won't overwhelm the room. Actually, it would be helpful if you could provide the room dimensions. I'm guessing it is about 12' wide? And maybe 20' long? I like the two sofas you posted, but with young kids my first choice would be slipcovered. The Ikea Ektorp in gray seems to be a perfect choice for your room. The corner chair and round table/stacking trays you posted - do you see this being used in that corner? Would you use it for putting on shoes, since it is near the front door? If it won't serve a purpose, I say keep that space dedicated to the toy shelving - the more, the better! So, to recap - a sofa or sofa with chaise on the wall next to the entryway (I actually really like the chaise idea as it would "close in" that side of the sofa from the entryway). The TV across from it. Then, one or two arm/side chairs at a right angle to the sofa - facing toward toy area. You could do a swivel chair if you think this would help with TV viewing. Or, you could just angle a regular chair. The table and stools you posted - if you don't have people over for dinner, this might be fine but, honestly, they look a little "playroom". I know the price is great, but if you upgrade to wood, I think you'd be happier with the over-all look of your space.

I'd hoped to get photos from website but am not able to do so. Will be at the condo on Thursday and get pics then. Thank you!

What a lovely view! The challenge here is circulation ... I think you want a lighting budget to help advance the beach feeling .. I have an idea .. If you replace the center area with four matching .. small scale but comfy armchairs - perhaps with denim ticking slipcovers that can be washed so they are beach friendly .. and put two at the fire angled together and two more mirrored across / create a diamond so that circulation through the room runs through the middle of this .. put a round end table between/ behind the two opposite the fire, with a great looking floor lamp that has a nautical feel where the bulkhead comes into the space .. the middle of the room doesn't have the natural light and wants some .. add two more matching small table rounds on the outside of each fireplace adjacent chair. This will break up the length of the room and provide somewhere cozy once the sun goes down. If the chairs swivel, all the better .. but the focus is really on centering the room. Shrink the dining depth so the room flows to the conversation group by using a banquette on that end / first wall /between two storage elements - you could buy the storage pieces in white / off the shelf and let someone trim them in together. You have an 11' wall - if you leave the first 1' for the depth and angle of walking in, you could do 5' of seating (three kids / two adults) and two 30" wide storage pieces. If you don't need storage - do a longer 7' banquette with a simple 18" / bookcase on each side so you can paint the back and display something pretty. If you love the plank or board and batten look - use it in the white trim color on that wall above your banquette and possibly over the fireplace bump out / as an overmantle. Ballard Designs sells banquettes in standard sizes and lots of fabrics including sunbrella - very scrubbable .. think you will want new beachier lighting at the table and a larger / more nautical fan fixture (kichler has a great looking one called hatteras you might like) .. . .and you can always use a simple round ceiling medallion to shift the fixture box over the new dining table location / then you will have three areas in the room that flow better / work together . . . Then, I think you could use an L shaped sectional or at least a long sofa with chaise at the fireplace end in the last 1/3 - against the inside wall since that is where the view is . . . the short end with its back to rest of the room . .. . . .now a tall backed, solo feature / maybe a wing chair in the far right corner between all the glass. A rustic bench under the window that can be used as a seat or a side table when you have extra folks . . if you keep the round table, and use the "diamond" in the round seating in the middle section, then a large round coffee table here will subtly echo the theme .. you might use wall hung sconces behind the long sofa .. If I was using a television here, the best place is the banquette location. Remember that you can put one right over the banquette on a swing arm .. it will be convenient for the four chairs in the middle and a smaller group at the table, but not great for the seacoast / view end .. Depending on when / how you like your television while at the shore, it might be nice to make it less of a feature there.
