congrats on your GREAT new home! :] i'm wondering if you could add more views....specifically, what is opposite the windows? also, the pic's you have posted are alittle small, and for color/palette suggestions, i wonder what colorations are in the stone of the FP behind the wing chair? potentially, a sofa could be placed with it's back along the window wall, or with it's back facing the entry, or space permitting a smallish L-shaped sofa could fit there, or a pair of small sofas could be placed so they face one another [if a tv won't be placed in here] which is great for conversation. alot really depends on what is on the opposite side of the room. i agree that simple, long, straight curtain panels and a large area rug would be a good place to start, then continue the curtain panels in the DR for good flow. also, what is beyond the DR?

How would you feel about putting a loveseat, rather than a sofa, in front of the window, and a chair facing the fireplace, forming a tight L with the loveseat. A large area rug could mark this entire sitting area, with a coffee table in front of the loveseat. Another chair could go to our left of the fireplace if you like. Drapes could be chosen to work with the colors in the rug and/or furniture. Your space has the potential for a very welcoming conversation area for you and your guests. Good luck.

I assume this space is just inside the front door off the foyer area or encompasses the entryway? I would work an entry table in near the front door if there is space with a mirror over it, dish for keys and mail, and a lamp. This space will essentially be the introduction to your home for guests and should paint of picture of what to expect in the rest of the house. Stick to a style you already have established throughout the rest of your home. I don't get the sense that you need the space to accommodate a lot of people or that you intend to hang out in here. If you've gone a year with nothing in it, you likely have a family room elsewhere. I would go for more of a reading/reception area feel, keeping an open pathway into the rest of your home.

It does seem a bit awkward but does have possibilities! I would hang a pair of drapery panels floor to ceiling to frame the window and add color, warmth, and drama. I would probably stick to 2 neutral, clean lined but comfy occasional chairs centered on the window and angled slightly inward towards each other with a round side table and lamp between them. The space seems awkward for a sofa. The only logical place for a sofa is centered in front of the window but the 2 sided fireplace isn't set out far enough for the sofa to clear it, if that makes sense {the left end of sofa would protrude in front of fp}. A way to combat this would be a chaise where the left fp side is open/armless if you don't care for the 2 chairs idea. I'd finish off with an area rug to define the seating area, clear off the mantel of pics and put only one large or 3 smaller decorative piece{s} on it, and maybe a small scale ottoman in front of chaise or chairs with a tray with decorative object.
