Hi. I think you have to arrange it so there are two separately zoned areas - but it can look cohesive. You need flexibility and ample room to be able to walk around the furniture for access to the doors. Do you use the fireplace? Assuming you do, I would suggest an L-shaped couch with the L under the window to the left of the fireplace and the back of the couch in front of the french doors to the outside, built-in bookshelves/TV on the long wall to the right of the french doors, a large rug in front of the couch with coffee table, an armchair facing the couch on the other side of the fireplace and then a separate sitting area - two chairs and a little table - in front of the large window. If you have something to look at out there, have the chairs face out, if not, have them face in. If you keep all the furniture with a low profile and similar colour scheme and have the chairs and armchair easily moveable/slidable then you can pull all the furniture up together when you have large numbers of people sitting around the fireplace or watching the TV. Lamps can be added at the end, but probably one in the corner next to the smaller window and then one or two down the other end near the large window. This is the kind of arrangement I'm talking about (there are three photos of the living room if you click on the link): I hope that helps!

Hi, my thoughts were take door off hinge and get a track to slide the door. This creates a new feeling of entry to the room optimising the space at the side also. You could have a desk as you come in to the room and the bed at the side, depending on the size of your unit, you could place it in the nook or at side of bed. Id have bed facing window for a nice morning view and natural light peeping through, depending on which way the sunrises and sets, it will be a beautiful scenery to look at, unless outside the windows a wall lol hope this helps. jodymorgandesign.com

What is the length of the right hand wall? Provisionally though, I think the shape of the room and the location of the patio doors massively limits your options and I don't see how you'll have enough space for a decent sized kitchen and separate eating area...

Thank you all for your help so far! What colour do you think the bigger rug should be? I was looking at things like this https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/metro-rug-black-and-white-60x90-cm-prvw-vr~116921750 https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/jersey-8420-rug-stone-140x200-cm-prvw-vr~112201633 https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/copperfield-rug-60x90-cm-prvw-vr~116921735 but is it too much of the same colour for the room?
