Could you mount your tv on the wall? We had an old Craftsman with that same layout and did have the set up the way you are describing, but I prefer flexibility so we have ours on a wall mount that can swivel 180 degrees and accommodate many different seating layouts.

How would you design this living room? TV against the wall makes sense to me, but leaves you seated very close.

That is definitely the best spot for the TV. My first instinct was to put the couch in the “command position” where the chairs are now to let in more light but if you prefer sitting in the chairs then that looks great. Is this open concept to a dining/kitchen area? More on reddit.com

You need a rug for sure. I don't know if replacing the sofa is an option but if it is, I would recommend going with not a sectional (mostly so it doesn't look like the sofa is eating the coffee table) and a sofa with visible legs would add some dimension to the room. I don't think your curtains are doing you any favors, I would replace with a nice Roman shade. You could do an accent wall or a large piece of artwork on the wall opposite the door, to draw the eye when you first walk in. Any other suggestions would really depend on what your style and taste is. Are you more minimalist or maximalist? Traditional or modern? Eclectic, bohemian, vintage/mid century?

How would you put a TV in this room without ruining the period feel.
TV frames are pretty popular now for fitting a certain aesthetic. You can make it look like art when you’re not using it. I haven’t done this personally but have seen Liz Marie’s posts about it. https://www.lizmarieblog.com/2020/04/the-frame-tv/ More on reddit.com

Per title, the way that I’d like to this this up is to make the room by the front door the living room with the TV against the wall with the high window. This would create an entry walkway from the front door behind the couch, but it leaves the couch seated relatively close the TV.

The second room next to this will be used as a dining room/seating area, as well as a place for some things like my animal’s kennels. It’s not a great place for the TV and couch because of all the built-ins on that side of the room.

The previous owners had the couch against the big window by the front door and a projector screen attached to the beam across the ceiling, but I have a nice TV that I’d prefer to use if it is possible.

How To Make Your Smallest Room, The Coziest Room In Your Home + Sara's TV Room Reveal - Emily Henderson
One of the best posts I think we’ve ever written was a design mistake titled “Painting A Small, Dark Room White.” This post has STUCK with me for some reason, and I think it’s what really convinced me that this small room needed to be something other than white. The second thing someone might notice is that while the walls are dark, so is almost everything else. The trim, the roman shades, the sofa, the built-in bookcase. Not only did we go dark, we went monochrome. I’d seen some version of this in a few historical homes, and felt entirely inspired. It felt both bold, edgy, and modern while also feeling timeless.

Recently moved into a new house and I need some help. I have an 85” tv on my 15’ wide living room area that is just about 20’ long with 10’ ceilings. The wall with the clock is 8’ wide. I’m trying to figure out how to place furniture (sectional, couch, loveseat, chairs, etc.) so that I can accommodate more guests without being too crowded and allow for a walkway to the kitchen.
I’m open to any ideas or suggestions. I’m not committed to any of the current furniture; I consider it temporary. Moving the tv, wall treatments, a console, bookcases, fireplace insert, etc are all things I am open to doing.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
