How to design living room-dining room open space?

We are looking to get it painted and then set it up(arrange the space). The huge windows next to piano are north facing and the ones on either side of tv, east facing. We are thinking of doing SW Natural Linen paint here. Kindly suggest what furniture can be added and in what way? The dining table we have now is from an earlier small apartment, so we are looking for suggestions on what type/color of dining table will suit here. Open to changing curtains as well.

Thanks in advance

    You might consider moving the table to the middle of the space, since those are windows and not doors. The table included below wouldn't be the one we'd get for your space, but notice how it's round and in the middle of the space. Also you could make an L shape with the two sofas, instead of having them parallel to one another. You could float one sofa in the room facing the TV and leave one on the side. It just depends on where you'd want a walkway. We'd also suggest getting a rug for under the sofas in order to help ground the space.

    Draw and Measure the entire room please and show where the kitchen and hall are? Show all the walls, windows and dimensions, upload it as a jpeg below.

    You need a nice big rug, a pruning of disparate furnishings.,,,,,and a plan before you buy.

    You can refer to the layout.

    Between the kitchen and the living room, there is a half wall.

    Your piano is an issue, along with the fact that door should have been a slider, and the room is all window and passage with one GOOD WALL for tv

    Rugs are designed to be walked on. A mile of shiny floor is not necessary......again.....if you have another room for piano? Use it. You will have a much better room here.

    You still NEED more pictures and angles of the room..and accurate window / door dimensions and their placement in the walls.

    Please see photos of different angles around the room. The rooms are getting painted so everything has been centered as of now. Stairs from entry level come into the dining room opening up to the living room and kitchen. The living room and kitchen are separated by half wall.









    more angles of the rooms.

    We don't have any other room for the piano, unfortunately. Nor can the windows or door be changed.

    We will try the suggested arrangements and see how it feels. Thank you all for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

    Flip Jan’s suggestion and put the dining area to the left and the living area to the right. If you keep the piano, you will need to limit seating in the living area.
