olldbobbi You could hang the tv where the picture and shelf are now, and get a nice console to put under it for all the a/v equipment. Jasper TV Console with Two Audio Cabinets

Also, an area rug in front of the sofa will make a softer landing for the little one! Cheshire Area Rug I

orangecamera Yes, an area rug will help define the space, too. Make it a large one. Pull the furniture away from the walls, and have at least the front legs of your furniture on the rug.

olldroo Are those double doors your front entrance? Assuming so, it would be nice to create the effect of a foyer. Can you move the lounge with the chaise to the kitchen wall and put some low shelving along the chaise to divide the foyer from the lounge. Then move the lounge under the mirror to where the chaise lounge is now and put the TV where the mirror is with an entertainment unit like Bobbi suggests.

Being the king of klutzes, I am cringing at that exposed shelf and counting bruises, but the lounge under it could keep it safe.

It doesn't look like the room gets much light so you would need soft colour on the walls. Is that a dining room going off the lounge area? You would have to take that into consideration when choosing colours.

So far the room is quite plain so I am thinking a large bold patterned area rug would lift the room and then paint the other room in that colour - example in orange
