Sparky-
The "dining area" will be a sort of nook with bench seating. The "living area" will be mostly clear (chairs just there for the drawing for scale) but will be a kind of free form crafting type space. That wall covered with kallax/craft supplies.
Current dining room is a dark pit of despair. The double doors face east and are the only source of natural light, which is blocked by the current extension. You need the lights on in mid summer. Also, it doesn't feel very well connected to the kitchen so never really gets used and as a result, fills up with crap.

Kind of similar to us. Small, useless, half width kitchen extension being made full width and adding a utility room/downstairs WC. Currently going through planning with the council.
