Placing the sofa like that in the room is common, just like putting it in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, which I don’t like either. But how else should it be arranged? Where else would you cram the TV?That’s exactly why we discuss it here: to avoid repeating all the mistakes.

But as it is, it’s really difficult.As I said before: the south side needs more windows. I would swap the living room window with the narrow window in the center of the south facade. That way the living room has enough space for furniture. Even if people like to position the sofa centrally, as IKEA often suggests, you might want to place it against a wall later on.

It depends on what you want to do in the living room.... we only watch TV there and otherwise sit at the dining table.... so our living room is tiny.... I don’t see what the original poster’s living room has to do with your preferences?

Putting the sofa out in the room like that is common, just like placing the sofa in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, which has become popular lately. I don’t like that either, but how else would you do it? Where else would you squeeze in the TV? Overall, I think this plan loses too much space and window area on the south-facing side of the house. The living room feels too narrow due to the staircase position, and the garage causes a lack of windows on the right side of the plan. There is enough natural light, but the options for arranging furniture are limited, as is the sense of space. It looks more like an unloved TV corner than a cozy retreat to relax after work.
