How do I decorate a huge living room, with a built in gas fireplace that has a shelf on top of it for a TV? The room has a staircase hidden by a half wall on one side, the other side is next to a bar/dining nook. On one wall, beside the fireplace is a huge window, the other side is a full wall.

I watch HGTV a lot, and one of the things I see them doing in large living rooms is to group the sofa and chairs in the middle of the room so that the sofa is facing the fireplace with end tables on each side of it and a coffee table in front. Then the chairs are flanking each side of the sofa facing the coffee table. Around the outer edges of the room wherever there is wall space, they place other pieces of furniture, such as a bookcase, desk, etc.
