If you want the focus to be on the fireplace and any art or decoration you place above it, rotate the rug so one short side of the rug runs parallel with the fireplace angle, with the tips of the corners just clearing the nice wide base moldings. Place a sofa upon the far side of the rug, facing the fireplace. Depending upon the size of your furniture and how many pieces there are, you may need to have the back legs of the sofa and chairs off the rug. A coffee table, two smaller side tables, and two or three comfortable upholstered chairs may fill the space nicely. A console table or a bookcase would go to the left of the fireplace. Even with the recessed lighting and fan light already there, you may want to add a floor lamp and a table lamp or two. Try using different lighting combinations to see which ones work better together in the evening and move them around as needed. I would add matching drapes on the triple window and single window in a quiet-colored pattern which goes with your upholstered pieces. Add additional art where wall space allows. Don’t add too many pillows. A rug four feet wider and four feet longer than the dining table allows additional color. Two feet of rug on each side of the table allows enough space for people in chairs.

very helpful, thank you!!

Below is a design of ours that we did for a client. If you want the TV on the blank wall to the left, you could easily do what we did here. Notice the long console with artwork over it? Perhaps that could move to the left and be where your TV would go. Here are some of the other images below from this design:
