any advice on how to complete this living room? I was thinking a coffee table in the center of the room could help but I wasn’t sure if it would or not.
I am currently trying to figure out how to do without a coffee table ONLY because I need a place to train my service dog. I am always baffled when people don’t have a coffee table—where can people put their drinks? Put their feet up? What if you serve hors d’oeuvres? It’s not a trend to make a space Pinterest-worthy, it is so wonderful to have one!
And now I’m about to cry because I’m getting rid of the piece of furniture my family uses for board games 😢. I’d personally only say do without a coffee table if you never entertain in the room. In which case no biggie.

Coffee table should not be in the centre of the room. This would make it a total superfluous piece of furniture as no one could use it as a surface to place things down on. The coffee table should be placed in front of the sofa and will only be able to used by the sofa and the chair closest to it. That 3rd chair in the corner has its own side table. FWIW your rug is too small and situated in the wrong direction. You can turn it 90 degrees and it would look better, but you should place at least the front legs of your sofa (and chair) on the rug.

Coffee table in front of the sofa would be great Question can you turn the rug with the long side being under the sofa about 8-12 inches?

Maybe this is a space where a round or oval smallish tempered glass topped coffee table would be good. It is an awkward spot for sure to arrange without impeding flow and having the stairs and door together not helping.

Possibly a small table/nesting tables you can keep in the corner and get out/put back as needed, as I really think it would disturb the flow of the room to put a coffee table in the path between the archway and the door.

Try one of those AI room planners. You just drop the pic in and it shows you how to arrange everything. I used it and it’s actually pretty solid.
