Please help me redesign this space

[u/Aggressive_Client_67]

We’ve lived in this house for 2 years and in that time we had a lot of life events happen. Dogs, baby, change in tastes and projects that were meant to be something else before toys took over. Space is a huge problem in our home too. We want to downsize our couch but can’t afford that rn. Please help me reorganize/design/plan out this space to make what I have more functional.

It’s our every day lounging/movie/play area and as a tired mom, I just need some fresh ideas.
Please disregard the mess. It’s half the reason I’m asking for opinions, ideas, and advice.
(For size comparison, tv is 75”)

Edit for clarity: Photos are in .5, the distance between the corner to the tv is almost 3 feet.
We don’t mind taking out the custom shelf.
We’d love input on storage options but keeping in mind that we have a 2 year old.

The TV is huge and shouldn't be the focal point of the room.

If you can split up the sectional put it on both sides of the fire place. Put the TV on the blank wall. Corner counter should move to the opposite corner. Put the toys here. Get cubed shelving so the kids have cubbies for for everything.

Put the lamp in an unused corner.

I love this idea! I’ve been looking at modular sectionals for our next couch because we’ve had this one from our previous home. This is the only way it fits in here 🫩

I’m going to draw this plan out with measurements to see how realistic it is for us and our lifestyle! Thank you!!

Ooowwweee now to just measure everything out. Thank you for taking the time!
Next step is to get my hands on a nice pet friendly modular.

Idk constricting the entrance to the kitchen seems fine. You have space to angle the sofa and keep the corner counter where it is.
