    Sounds like a job for a handy concept planner !! ( like me !)

    Start with storage - in order to know what's needed and where - look at what you need to store ie coats/boots/hats/ from front entrance - kitchen equipment and implements etc in kitchen area , book, music, films etc ...

    Then look at adaptable things like fold down tables or coffee tables that raise up to be dining tables and folding dining chairs or bar stools that lower into dining chairs - which best suits the way you want to live/entertain guests ...
    How many bottoms need to sit on a sofa ? Do you have pets ?

    Then look at if you can expand outside that space . Can you add additional seating / eating space under a glass verandah outside ?
    Can you add a porch for coats and wellies etc ? Can you go up ? ie a mezzanine area for extra storage ?

    Then sort out stuff you have into - can't live without it -
    could modify to fit -
    could donate /sell -
    will donate/sell -
    needs to go to the dump !

    ... That's a good start !! Over to you !
