Yeah - right now if your measurements are correct, your L sofa is 11 feet long! Whatever you get, it really won't be that big - 8 feet is plenty. I would suggest putting a narrow console table with a couple lamps behind the sofa to act as a buffet when you need one, and further enhance the division of space. You should also probably get an expanding/ contracting dining table. I suggest having a coffee table with tall skinny legs, or a lucite or glass table (so your space doesn't feel cramped) and I have found with my L sofa that a side table like this has been a stylish space saver: http://www.etsy.com/listing/102048420/couch-arm-wrap-solid-wood-custom-arm

Where are those baskets from? I've been searching all over the city!

I think the orange sofa is awesome! I'd change out some of the pillows for some not shiny, mid-tone green ones to pick up on the sofa without being too girly. Think plain or modern prints. If you don't already have orange elsewhere in the room, I think you have to add a few orange touches to bring it out. I have a big orange sideboard in my living room and green accents as well (obviously I'm a fan of this combo) and it looks great with green or chartreuse - the colours are also popular now so it should be easy to find accents whatever your budget / preferred shades. Looks like because of your carpet you might as well keep the beige curtains - you might try to bring orange, green and beige together cohesively with pillows and decor, and maybe ground it with a chocolate brown rug as someone suggested. I just did a quick easy search, there's tons of great, not girly options:
