Yes, looking at your photo of the chair a little away from the kitchen bench (not abutting the sink as it wouldn't be practical as well as looking odd) is what I envisaged. By moving the desk and shifting your couch further over where desk is, you will have a clear walkway past your lounge setting. It would be a shame to have to find another chair but if you think it would let in more light, so be it. You may like to explore other suggestions for letting in more light but judging by your photos, it doesn't look that bad. I hope you will let us know what you decide. PS for some reason my posts are coming up under hubby's name to his amusement as he is hopeless at arranging furniture.
