Ideas for living space design Living room - arrangement of furniture, TV, etc.

Hello dear ones! We need your help. We are currently renovating an old building. Below I have attached photos of our future living room. Although the room is very large (33 m²), we are lacking ideas on how to furnish the space. It is certain that we want a sufficiently large couch, a television, and a piano, which should, however, be placed against an interior wall. On the right side of the sliding door, a wood stove is expected to be located. Actually, the couch should rather be placed in the right corner, as we don't want every mail carrier standing at the front door to see us lounging on the couch. We would be very happy to hear your ideas! Thank you and best regards!

Doesn't anyone have an idea? We have already thought about it beforehand and came up with the following suggestion. But I am unsure because you always have the sofa in front of you when you come from the dining room into the living room... I don't particularly like it, but how could it be done differently? By the way, we haven't bought a single piece of furniture yet, so we are still completely free in the design. Please help us - we are grateful for any suggestions...

I can somehow imagine it like this (furniture not to scale now). You would have to play around with it to see if it somehow works.
In general, I find the room very difficult to furnish. Many windows, many openings, and quite large for that. The sofa would probably have to stand somewhere in the room, not against a wall.
In my idea, there is a kind of cabinet/living room wall on the left, and on the right in front of the sofa then a TV on a lowboard or something.

Oh, thank you very much for this impulse! I would never have thought of that! Yes, we also found it difficult to plan the room from the beginning… but everything was already predetermined since it is an existing property. The disadvantage of your suggestion might be that when you stand in the hallway at the front, you look towards the side of the TV… and you have the stove behind you… hmm… that is so difficult!

True, I hadn’t thought of the stove anymore. You usually want to have it in view rather than behind your back. Maybe you can turn the idea 180 degrees. Depending on which sofa layout and size you choose. Do you know Sweet Home 3D? It’s a quite simple planning software. You can enter the room with measurements, plan the windows, and then put in some furniture and the stove and play around with it.

Through the large window/sliding door element and the requirement for sofa/TV, it becomes difficult, but surely there will be a solution.

Viewed from the entrance (hallway):

The piano goes on the left wall; it is a nice eye-catcher from the hallway and one does not linger there long enough for it to become uncomfortable as it might on the sofa. Additionally, the walkway should remain clear, because you still have a small door in the back corner.

I would place the sofa in the room with its back to the piano. Normally, I would prefer the corner next to the sliding door to the kitchen, but that does not work with the large window and TV. So a long sofa, possibly with an ottoman for the feet. In front of it, the coffee table. View of the stove and TV, sideways out to the large window, view into the garden. A bit in front of the sliding door then two cozy, not too tall armchairs with a small table in between. Nice view from there, a good spot when you have guests. Two armchairs are not such a blockade like a sofa; the entrance in front of the sliding door should not be blocked. The TV then on the wall or on a TV stand, depending on taste. Important to me would be a rug under sofa/armchairs/coffee table that separates and anchors that area from the rest of the room.

And place a tall cabinet or a tall shelf somewhere so that the room does not feel too flat. Cozy lighting through table and floor lamps etc., and done.
