Help with layout. Diagram included!

[deeohgee]

Can anyone see a better layout than how we already have this room?
We’ve just moved and bought the expensive L-shaped sofa not long ago so can’t get rid.
I just can’t seem to find the best way to put it without it blocking a door, window or French doors.
In real life it doesn’t look great and it’s making me twitchy but not sure what else I can do?!
Any help appreciated!

In our old house the sofa fitted perfectly in a corner, but can’t put it in a corner here.
It would fit under the window but then there’s nowhere to be able to see the tv?

Can you take out nit 2 and push actually into that corner ?
Is TV moveable ?
Do you need the 2 units in there ? Would Unit 2 fit either by fire or by Unit 1, if you do ?

I can take out unit 2 and push the sofa into that corner, but then it is blocking a window, which is quite low so you would see the back of our sofa from outside and it would block light coming in, and if we moved it into that corner then it would just be facing a big double door which opens in to the lounge. So you could not see tv from the sofa at all.
If we had the L shape the other way round in that corner then you would struggle to get through the door.

Maybe someone will come up with a great idea (other than get new furniture...) but I think with immovable, unblockable objects on three of the four walls you are going to struggle

I think the same to be honest.
This house was just not made for a corner sofa.
The only thing I have seen when I’ve googled is that people have the fireplace as the focal point (ours is free standing so can be moved) so perhaps put this in the centre of the wall opposite the sofa and have the tv unit in the corner by the French doors.
OH is fairly keen to mount the tv over the fireplace and get rid of the tv unit but I’m worried it would look tacky.

Is the fire fixed or can it be moved at all?

Move tv to opposite wall? Sell sofa? What kind of fire is it?

Definitely swap walls if you can. Doors next to the tv look wrong as well.

Is there another entrance to the lounge, as well as the french doors?

If so I would probably live with the french doors getting a bit blocked, and move the sofa across to where unit 1 is. At least that way it faces the fire and tv properly

I’d move the corner unit and push the sofa towards the French doors (assuming that wouldn’t prevent the doors from being opened). Then zone the space by the window as a reading nook/playzone if you have kids/similar.

And yes I'd swap fire and tv over if that's poss

We could move the tv to the other wall but if the sofa is where the tv currently is then this covers the whole French doors.
The doors to enter the lounge and double doors and the French doors go out to the garden.
The fire is movable yes.
What are people’s thoughts on mounting tv above the fire? Then along the back wall have unit, sofa, unit and opposite this just have tv above fireplace?

The doors to enter the lounge ARE double doors, not AND double doors!!!

If we moved everything along then both units could face into the room (at the moment unit 2 is sideways on).

The sofa doesn't have to be against a wall, you could bring it out into the middle of the room? Worth trying if there is no way to fit it into a corner.
