Help! Living Room Design

We are having a bit of a dilemma with our new home. The plan is to add storage options on either side of the fireplace and put the TV in the middle. However, the sofa on the left will be too close and the view won't be great. Ideally, we don't want to block off the bay window. Any ideas are greatly welcomed as I am stuck :(

    Oooh I see what you mean about the sofa feeling too close with your initial plan. Do you need to keep the door to this room? If you like the privacy, maybe you can add some curtains or find an alternative to the existing door. I suggest this because the way the door opens into the room takes up a lot of real estate! Would something like this work in the room? This would leave you with space on the walls for bookshelves or artwork, and leave the sofa in direct view of the TV above the fireplace:

    Post-holiday once the tree is gone, I'm imagining a nice lounge chair or somewhere to kick back and read a book or enjoy a beverage in the window nook. Or you could have a little bistro table with chairs to give it more of a lounge feel
