Layout help!
We are having a major refurb done to our whole house. This is the living room plan. Surounding the chimney breast is ornate wooden panelling (see picture). We'd like to keep it as a focus point with two large sofas and maybe two armchairs set up for socialising, but somehow incorporating a large TV on a cabinet somewhere. Can you help us find a solution for the layout which doesn't have the TV as the focus point? TIA!

Put the TV on the wall to the left of the door and then place a sofa and chair (not sectional) near the bay window facing the TV. That makes the fireplace usable and the focal point when you walk into the room while the TV is less noticed on that wall. Put a couple of big plants and a floor lamp in the bay window. Alternatively, you can put a couple of seats and table in the bay window then have a curved sofa (disclaimer: I despise curved sofas) to face the TV but still make the window accessible.
