I think I'd go with something oval or round, given the shape of the wall. I've got the same kind of wall in my spare bedroom. it's a bummer...

I would ignore the shape of the wall and follow the lines of the headboard.

If you are like me who cannot tackle the remodel on one big project expense, I would start with your breakfast table nook. Then I suggest working on the cabinets, and lastly changing the tile wall with or without counter top/sink update. An update of the faucet at the start won't be too much expense either. I am assuming you're not fond of the blue tile - wanting it to be in off/ white or grey tiles eventually. If you absolutely cannot live with the blue tile while progressing with the project, I suggest painting it like several commentators suggested as a temporary fix - just to get the pain out from looking at it :{) Otherwise, I suggest to leave it alone and save your money, time and effort. For the breakfast nook, I think additional storage is always an advantage like two commentators suggested for your wall by your table - using clean line metal/steel brackets and white shelves and wall painted with light cool grey in your ideabook. You can display not only kitchen items but also some artwork on the shelves to make it look uncluttered. I also like your posted ideabook for a bar style chair and table (Mal Corboy) but with low open back chairs for airy look (Kelley Gardner.) Assuming it is safe to cover your radiator panel (sic maybe - not sure of term), the wall end of table can be opened with cabinet doors on both sides or at least the one facing the boiler side. (Pls refer to 1st image.) For the cabinets, I suggest going up to the ceiling even above the window/sink - using simple panel doors with long sleek hardware just like Merry Powell suggested. Going up means less wall tile to change later in the project - an added advantage. I also think that painting the lower cabinet that same light grey as your wall also looks pretty just like in your Cucinabella Bella choice in your ideabook while top cabinets are in white. Just be careful which white shade you choose. A true off-white may not look good with the grey you posted in your ideabook. Your boiler corner can have its own two-door corner cabinet or 4-door cabinet if you paint the lower ones grey. (Pls refer to 2nd image). I am attaching images with edits using my unglamorous graphic 'editor' - excuse the roughness ;) I also included images posted in your ideabook mixed with my added images. May be a lot of work but have fun while doing it. I'm sure it will be much better looking each step you take.

From the looks of things, that really is the only place for the sectional. So...can you pull it out just a foot maybe away from the window? Move your tv over the stove if safe to do and try a big plant in that corner where the tv is now. Your painting behind some is way too big for that wall. Move to opposite wall. I would remove the black loves eat and replace with two reading chairs and maybe that end table you have by the sofa. For window treatments I just do not see drapes/curtains working in this room with that sectional.

If you don't want to make the wall itself straight, maybe consider playing with some deep shelves ABOVE the TV, that could go from the diagonal wall to the straight line where you want to put the TV. Then behind the TV you could have a vertical panel of the same colour/material of the shelves (or matching the colour of the wall) to connect the TV stand to the first shelf and hide the awkward wall. To avoid having empty space right beside the door you could put a narrow shelving unit (with a back panel, not an open one) between the TV stand/panel and the straight wall (or beside it if it's short) that goes from floor to first shelf, again I'm imagining same colour/material of the rest so it binds seamlessly rather than looking like patchwork to fill the space. It's a little complicated to explain but I hope it makes sense!

It’s a beautiful couch and looks very comfy. Maybe anchor it with a large mat to define the space & try & wall Mount the TV. Make it feel a cosy space. Good luck https://www.houzz.ie/hznb/photos/rosefield-model-farm-road-cork-phvw-vp~141949230
