Living room with too many chairs

I have too much furniture. After I fixed up those two side chairs, I ended up with more seating than my living room can hold.

I think I want to get rid of the big red chair. It does make for a good reading corner, but I don't really sit there and read very much. Besides, my mom said she'd take it. The little semi-circular chair under the window and the gold chair in the corner are both good, but they need recovering. Those I want to keep. And I like the compact comfort of the two side chairs I just recovered.

So how can I make all this furniture work in my apartment? (I can't move the couch, by the way, because that's the only place it fits.) I would invite my friend Amy over, after she was such a big help with the garden furniture. But maybe somebody reading this has some suggestions? Should I keep the red chair? Should I ditch the side chairs? Any way to rearrange all this without getting rid of anything?
