Living room layout

This is my very first post here and hoping for some layout help!! Our living room is long and rectangular with two low windows, a fireplace, and two doorways. We want to mount a TV above the fireplace and get a big sectional, something comfy and long enough for my 6 foot 3 husband. We're getting rid of the old chairs and rug, and want to add someting like a coffee table and lots of seating that still leaves space for our 5y/o to play. Any layout ideas would be really appreciated!
 
Mounting the TV above the fireplace makes sense, but be careful with neck strain. A deep L-shaped sectional along the longest wall could work well, just be sure it doesn't block doorways or windows.
 
I love layout planning, it's like Tetris but with furniture! One time I spent hours sketching room plans and ended up rearranging everything at 2 a.m. because inspiration hit, it was totally worth it, though

I'd say im the opposite, it gives me headache!
 
A single desk is a perfect solution for compact spaces, offering a simple yet functional workspace. It provides enough surface area for a laptop, books, and essential accessories, keeping things organized. Ideal for home offices or study rooms, a single desk enhances productivity without taking up much space.
