Put a petite secretary desk next to the stairs, it will provide visual height, storage, and can be closed to hide a messy desk when necessary.

In the bottom corner you can put a flat screen tv on a 3 drawer malm dresser, or 4 cube expedit (again more storage) purchase a petite sized sofa to face it with a small bench as a coffee table. Next find 2 side chairs to complete the seating area, place them with their backs to the closed secretary desk. One of these can be turned and used as a desk chair when needed.

Behind the sofa find a gate leg table that is slightly shorter than your couch, that will be a sofa table/landing strip as you come in the door, or can be opened up with the 2 side chairs and bench/coffee table used as seating.

Good luck, what a cute space!
