How to fix how open our floor plan is?
In our house you walk in the front door (circled in red) and are greeted by this huge open space (approx 12'4" x 11'11") which is designed to be the formal dining area. I hate it. It's awkward to walk straight in to someone's dining room. There is no real foyer and the space is so big it feels wasted being used just for dining. Any suggestions to make this space less awkward or more functional? Open to big reno suggestions.
