It's not the *desk* that needs to be interactive and fun; try ditching the chairs and getting stability/yoga balls :) http://www.philly.com/philly/health/kidshealth/Teachers_ditch_student_desk_chairs_for_yoga_balls_.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/28/exercise-ball-classroom-desk-chair_n_2206743.html http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/education/kindergarten-classroom-has-no-chairs http://newadventuresinfirstgrade.blogspot.ch/2011/09/where-it-happens-wednesday.html

Your room is big and void of color. Yes there is too much brown. If not replacing. Add light colored pillows big in a cream print. Add teal to mix. Get a 8 x10 area rug. Go cream base and a contemporary design in very bold colors, red, yellow and black, teals mix it up. Can you get regular chairs. Those look like game chairs, can they go in kids room? Pull sectional into room out of corner face TV wall. With big rug and a 36" ottoman square. In a color. Maybe zebra for fun. On TV wall. Get a wall to wall floor to ceiling or close to it wall unit. Ikea has some go white. Get. Long low media cabinet. Also Ikea in white. Place TV on top. Fill wall unit with colorful pots candles books. Just don't over do leave 50% empty. You could paint that wall a darker (2) shade of walls. After you have centered sofa in room more. On wall behind a very large art contemporary 40x40 hang very low. On empty wall in dining area. Get a long 6-7 ft chest. Something different. Asian feel red lacquered would be fun. Over it add big art piece bold colors 40 x40 hang 6" above top of cabinet. More art big by dining table. I would change chairs to a high back leather in Teal. Pier one has them. Your whole place needs color. Area rug under table 8 x10. Solid teal. Add big palms in corner to fill and warm up space. In chairs get two swivel barrel type in a print. Modern go taupe and blue/greens. Wi Dow panels on ends only in teal. Ck bed n bath. TJMax a good source. For art ect.

Perhaps a large round table might mean a rug is not at all necessary. It could be a metal tray table, or carved wood like Rebecca Mitchell Interiors illustrates. Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above.

Hi Kiran, Before you place any furniture here, you should rethink the existing layout. I would eliminate the 3 internal walls around the puja room, and convert the areas of the living, puja, dining and kitchen, into a singular larger space. This is simply for better air circulation and overall aesthetics of the flat - to make it feel larger. You will now have an open kitchen - which can be shut by either a glass sliding folding partition, or with a half wall with a breakfast bar. You can use furniture smartly to create privacy for individual areas. You can also change the locations of the doors to the bedrooms, by not having them from the dining space, but from the passage outside the bathrooms; so that a larger table right in the centre with a dining credenza by one of the walls, thereby making the dining space a bit enclosed and not accessible from 3 sides. To answer your main question, you can have the television on the common wall between the living and bathroom (5'x8'); an L-shaped sofa can be placed along the same wall as the entrance door. Hope this helps! G
