Option 1 for me too. Personally I'd go for a cowhide with an arc lamp over the sofa. I know it's becoming "common" if you're on here but I love the look and think it would really suit the room. Maybe a couple of cushions on each sofa laid out as per the attached pic from the design hunter (not with the throw) which looks suitable for a bachelor pad!

Maybe go back to where you found this pic ( unless it was Pinterest - as unfortunately everything gets re-pinned on there so many times you can't trace it back ) - see if it has any info on it with regards what's in the photo...........magazine articles usually say where the products have been sourced. For your info, those types of rugs are called Trellis Rugs..................I did a search on google for beige trellis rug, but that one with the little navy bits on it, didn't come up.

irugs.co.uk have a massive selection. Lots in the sale (which is a bit DFS neverending but anyway ...). I bought one in their sale 11"*6" for £70. Shipped from the US and no extra import costs either. Lots of geometrics in their 'modern' area.

Room plan and photo's definitely. If the fireplace is in the middle, then that's the focal point, so maybe the sofa could go opposite ( or is the door in the way? )
