I find your spacing works for "cozy" and you have space to easily walk in front of your sofas. Your furniture placement would work for me.

I agree. Now you could use a larger rug that goes under both sofas. This would give a cozier feel. The room already is cozy and inviting.

I have an open rectangular room for kichen and tv. The tv faces the kitchen on the farthest wall. What is the least width of room needed to place 2 couches facing each other on sides of the tv wall or couch and 2 chairs so as not to block kitchen table viewing? How much legroom is needed for a coffee table or ottoman in between?

Hi Sharon

Did you ever get an answer ? i have the same situation , could you share what you ended up doing ?

How much space a person needs or wants is very subjective. I like at least 18" between a sofa and a coffee table. My DH would prefer it closer because he likes to put his feet up on the table. I like to be able to walk between the sofa and table and not feel like I am going to hit something. It also depends on the room layout, the actual size of the furniture pieces and how the room is used.
