Troublesome living area layout! Suggestions?

[BarbieA1]

Hi all. I'm working on ordering a chair and recliner (probably H&M Austin Tilt) and a sofa. I have an open kitchen/living floor plan. It's very pretty, but the living area is difficult to lay out.

I've seen such great ideas on this forum, so I'd love to have your input!!

Preferences:

- to be able to see the TV from the kitchen area
- seating groupings (conversation areas)
- comfortable areas for reading w/nearby lighting
- greatly prefer sofa over loveseat. Need sofa for stretching out.


Which of the following layouts do you think would work best?

When sofa is along the right wall, the TV stand is in front of the windows. I'd have to keep the blinds closed. Also, don't have a cable outlet over there. But i guess it could be installed.

Notice the weird angled 40" wall at the lower right. Makes things more difficult... The sofa pictured is a standard 87".

Edit: Windows don't let in much light (face NNE, with long patio cover) so leather will be safe there.
