You have all the reasons to redo the house, its very lifeless and looks worn out. I feel creating a separation will terminate the spaciousness of the room. Adding colours will surely help, Since you have a tan color sofa,I suggest grey, white or light blue color on one of the walls. Add some art works of the color you chose for the wall. This room needs some fillers like , books, throws, candle stands tall and lean. YES DON FORGET 1. Mount the tv on the wall make some space on the floor and Fix a large size mirror ( Wooden Frame if you can afford).

You will have to probably redo the shelves completely. Looking at how they are built you cannot just remove the middle to put the TV in. You may be able to put some support under the shelf that will be just above the TV....just consider this. I would paint the inside of the shelves a fun color- cobalt blue or burnt orange maybe. This will give you a great backdrop for your things and keep the TV from becoming a black box on the wall. It's a great space!

You will need space to walk and for your feet if you turn the chairs around - if you put a divider in you will block the view from the dining table out to the balcony - and thus make the kitchen and dining room both have no view ! So if you keep it open, the natural light can get through !

Thank you IDUS Furniture store for looking into my query.I have a doubt ,if I paint my front wall where those 2 chairs are kept,is it mandate to paint a L shape wall behind sofa? if yes, should I be going with the same color as the front wall? Just FYI- I have a brown and beige ceiling and was planning to paint my bedroom doors with darker shades
