I have attached two photos, one is the current layout, and the other is possible layout(which I don't really like).
1) Current layout: pretty much I dining table in kitchen room, and the formal dining table is also used as breakfast table. I put a big round table for fruit/candy in a place supposed to be dining room. Anyway, this is not the point. Now I have a big sofa against wall (center).
2) I would like to buy a big TV in living room, and the TV stand is 60" length. If I put it against the wall, I think I will need to move sofa all the way down to nearly edge in order to line up with TV stand, but that looks weird to have sofa by the edge. Please see the attached photo.
3) The other option is buying a smaller TV stand (smaller TV too), so that the sofa does not need to move too much.
Is the kitchen wall full height, or counter height. If it is counter height, placing the sofa on the opposite wall, where you have it now, forces the sitter to view the kitchen. In that case, it would be better to have the sofa face the exterior wall.
It is best when purchasing furniture to buy to fit the space it is intended to fill. It might be that your sofa is too big. Is it new? Could you return it? If not, then you will simply have to make the best of things. Put the TV where the cable thing is, and the sofa opposite it. If you manage a table on either side of the sofa, with lamps, then that is good.
We need to know where the doors and windows are and the dimension of the room, plus what size TV. You may need to shift things around a bit, move the sofa to the long wall at the top of the drawing or float it in the room, and put the tv on the wall that is the bottom of the drawing. That would be to get a better viewing distance between the TV and the sofa. At least in the drawing, it looks like there may not be enough room between the wall the sofa is on and the wall you are putting the TV on for a big screen. If you are sitting too close, you don't get as good a picture.

Or, you could just put it where the cable outlet is.
Location of cable outlet isn't imprtant if you have ATT U-Verse. You hook the cable box to the outlet, but the connection between cable box and TV is wireless, so you can put the TV anywhere in the room. I love it.

Everybody doesn't have access to AT&T- so I was purposely avoiding that possibility.
Besides, DSL sux compared to cable!
