Hi all,
I need help with what seating arrangement to have. My wife and I just moved into our first house (new construction) and it had a media room already built, but not how I would have designed it, but it is what I have to work with.... I'm also going to be painting the walls and ceiling black, getting darker carpetting, and possibly removing the sconces.

And here is a picture of both views of the room:
What do you guys think? Any other ideas? I just don't want people to be too close or far from the screen. The screen will likely be either a 120 diagonal 16:9, or a 138 2.35, but need advice on that too.
Thanks for any help!!
