A colourful throw over the "back" of the sofa would help to add a pop of colour and break up the "wall" of colour that the back of the sofa currently provides. I also like the other ideas for a low console table behind the table and something hanging above the fireplace on the brick wall. Depending upon powerponts, antenna cabling and your affection for the pendant light, you could completely flip the room and put the dining table near the fireplace, spin the sofa around so that the "seat" (and cushions, etc) face the entry and put the TV on the wall opposite the fireplace.

Got two options 1) have dining area in front of kitchen in closed off section or 2) have it flow out by the doors. 1) have dinning table in front of kitchen in closed section. Have sideboard it like running under the window. Will allow for storage and display. Pictures on the wall of course. And bar stools off the kitchen bench for homework/Sunday breakfasts etc 2) have it by doors so lounge is more snug. Have side board or entertainment unit run down left hand wall with tv point on it. Have L shape if you fancy with return running under the window. A rug centre filling the centre of the L. A low profile occasional armchair off the end of the kitchen bench. Could add a small square coffee table too. Remember curtain rod to go as close to ceiling and hand to floor curtains to create height illusion. Good luck

Hi, I can see that there are a lot of rectangular / square shapes in the house already with the doorways, windows, kitchen island etc and the previous owners have obviously tried to break up the sharp lines by adding a round table - not a bad idea but the table and rug are just too small for the space! Its hard to tell from the photos how big the area really is but if you have the space a square table may work best or an oval table, there are already rectangular shapes in the kitchen and the sofa configuration, although maybe you are placing your sofas differently? Id also suggest chairs with a rounded shape to help soften and define the area.

I'm going to replace the l shape sofa with a corner one and the huge armchairs with a small 2 seater sofa. I'm also planning on getting a bigger rug so that all the sofas can sit on it and zone the room at the same time, will probably be getting a more neutral one.
