My partner and I are thinking about changing the layout of our main floor. First picture with the sectional is how it is right now. The issues we have with it are:

1. Sunlight from the sliding doors glare into the tv
2. The lamp behind the couch is plugged into the only outlet that’s connected to the light switch, we don’t have an overhead light. This lamp ends up showing in the tv as well.
3. It feels very closed off & awkward when entertaining

We think our new layout idea may make things feel more open, we could get a longer couch for entertaining and buy an ottoman or two that we can move around.

The only downside to this layout is having the tv on the interior wall may cut off the doorway into the room slightly.

What are your thoughts? Or does any one have any other ideas?
