the actual window in the room is actually smaller than that, that was the smallest window i could find in the model finder, so there isnt much light from the window, and plus i plan on putting a blackout curtain in front of it anyway.
 
Also you should be able to install the surround speakers properly on the wall where the sofa is.
 
Not to be the pooper, but it looks really congested. Maybe have a floating shelf system under the TV, or something other than that huge shelf piece. I had a room when I lived in Florida, and at first, I had a huge book shelf and tv stand. I ended up getting a two piece glass setup for my ps3, dish box, etc., and some shelves that go on the wall from Ikea, which made the room much more spaced and open. For a room, I always feel like that less is more. Just my $.02.
 
replace bookshelf with floating shelves.
replace coffee table with storage ottoman.
do you have a closet?
if so, mount tv and put boxes, etc in closet; get rid of tv stand.


what's your budget?
 
Put the mirror on the door or maybe on the wall next to the dresser.

I agree about the floating bookshelves.
