I agree with lydiechan - the sofa and coffee table need to be moved forwards towards the fireplace, the TV mounted above and the arm chair moved out of the doorway to be against the wall where the silver cabinet is. You will sacrifice floor space in front of the fireplace but the room is definitely built to have a cosy rather than "open" feel. A small side table pushed up agains the heater where the armchair and the sofa meet would be great for a lamp or as a place for books, etc. and create a pleasing L shape in front of the fireplace/TV. Moving the armchair away from the open doorway will make a big difference in the flow of the room and create the feeling of more open space. Moving the couch forward will create a little more space for the entry way, making it feel less claustrophobic when you first walk in the door.
