Help With Combination Living Room / Dining Room

I have a living room / dining room combo.

It's not a large space but its shape is very rectangular. I had to put my dining room set closer to the front door due to the size and shape of the room with the furniture in it. I am looking to see how I should arrange my furniture and what colors would work best.

Its too small of a space to use a big sofa. I was thinking a loveseat and 2 chairs, but I'm not too sure.

I'm not too sure about the color of loveseat I should use, either. The walls are Peanut Butter (name of the paint color) and my dining set is a light oak with ivory fabric on the seat cushions. I have a framed art print that's dark brown, almost mahogany, with some burnt orange in it.

What should I do?
