A nice view of the fireplace

This is a gas fire place.
The doors on either side lead the the entryway. Rob really likes the feel of the fireplace and the entryway as it makes him feel at home (the pub). Also, the inside of the house is not visible to the front yard as the windows in the entryway are positioned so that the inside is private. This room is going to be challenging to situate furniture in such a way so that the fireplace and place of entertainment are both the focal points of the room. Any suggestions......
