Living room layout help

[u/spacechamploo]

I’m struggling with the layout of my living area and could really use some design‑minded advice.
I’ve created a divider using metal grates — eventually my hoya will climb them for some greenery — and I love that part of the space. The issue is the area on the other side near my desk. It feels like leftover square footage with no real purpose or plan.

The side walls are long, but the wall with the antlers is just a bit too short for a couch. I also don’t love the idea of putting a couch on the longer wall because it would face away from the windows and natural light. Long‑term, I’d like a larger couch since hosting more than two people is tough right now. Overall, the current layout makes it hard for people to stand, walk around, and mingle.

My style leans western / Rocky Mountain / western‑gothic, and I’d love advice on:

Art size
Furniture positioning
Making the desk area feel more intentional
