My wife and I bought our house recently and we're struggling with ideas on how to lay out our furniture. All furniture we currently have is from our old apartment or left by the prior owner, and we're planning on buying quite a bit more/moving stuff around. We're mostly kind of paralyzed by indecision on how to lay out our 3 main living areas.
For rooms we're focusing on now, the sunroom:

Please excuse the mess, moving + not committing to a design has left things disorganized.
Here is our current thought on layout:
Rooms are to-scale; furniture is not
Most of the furniture you'd see in the sun room would be our existing furniture (including sofa, coffee/end tables, corner TV stand, and kitchen table you see in the pictures). We're okay with keeping this proposed layout.
For the living room, we're having a hard time laying things out to not block the windows and also to give my wife a sectional or at least a chaise. It feels like no matter how we lay it out, either the TV is off in a weird place, we're blocking a walkway, or we're chopping up the room and leaving part of it unusable. Do you think the proposed layout would actually work? Is the TV too far over/in the walkway?
For the living room: we're having a hard time fitting more than just chairs like the existing ones in there. It seems like with the doors swinging the way they do and the windows/fireplace, any more furniture might not be functional. Is it weird to have just the 2 chairs there? We could put a few more chairs by the window but then it just feels like a room full of chairs?
Any help or advice on any of our current plans would be appreciated!
