I'm an idiot- chair/ sofa size

Just before Christmas we finished some significant work on our house- basically we merged our living room with our kitchen to make a big kitchen diner and turned our dining room into the living room.

Bloody love the kitchen. It's amazing and really spacious.

The living room is a different story though, mainly because to go with the sofa we already owned, I bought 2 chairs (a snuggle chair and an armchair) from next, which just take up too much space.
This has been exacerbated by lockdown with s hyperactive 3 year old and a newborn and all the crap they accumulate.

I've tried moving furniture about, nothing seems to work. So my question is, do i...

  1. Sell the chairs (gumtree suggests I'd lose maybe 2-300£) and buy something smaller
  2. Nice the chairs into the bedrooms which currently both have an idea Poang in then and swap the poangs into the living room
  3. Wait it out 5-8 years until we can put them in the playroom (when we'll have space for them) and get rid of the lot for a corner sofa which is what I should've done originally
4 Some other magical solution that I'm not seeing!

Any advice very welcome, but do be aware, I already know what am idiot I am! Confused

Is there space in your new kitchen diner for the snuggle chair?

Sadly not, although that would've been nice. We've gone for tonnes of cupboard space

Try moving the biggest one out and see how it feels after that.

And could you get all the kid crap out and spend time in the playroom during the day?

Would one fit in the playroom for you to hang out there on?

Or put one or both Ikea chairs in the kitchen or playroom leaving you space in the bedroom to move some of the living room furniture.
