Comments (1)I would love any ideas! Please help :)...See MoreLiving Room Layout Advice Needed
Comments (24)Beachy-barn door could hide kitchen from view... if it'd work with other room, could make new DR opening that faces the kitchen sliders... A bigger rearrangement: new hallway with a jigjag through the fp footspace [to get to bathroom/ bedroom], then refrig have a unit beside it, and could add cabinets along wall....See MoreLiving room layout/furniture advice
Comments (4)Thanks for the feedback! We suspected a bigger rug would be needed. We haven't quite found one we like but we'll need to expand our search. If I were to move the art behing the sofa, what would I put above the fireplace? I had trouble with this location at my old place and mostly just had a cluttered mantle (which I am aiming to avoid this time). I was thinking maybe replacing the end table and coffee table. I am not good at mixing woods though, do I go with a wood colour? Do I go with black metal and glass? Or maybe have no coffee table? 🤔 Regarding the dining table, it isn't that close to the island regularly. Not sure weather it is just the picture or if it had gotten moved around but normally there is a walkway in between....See MoreSearching for advice! Best way to design layout for my living room?
Comments (9)@Jessica L. Ah….I'm a sucker for a sofa under windows, so I can curl up in one corner and watch the world go by…or just sit there. I think I'm part cat. Empty nesters...us too. I kept thinking we'd have company over, but we don't. Glad you do. I liked having the kids and grandkids over. I hope to do that again soon. So this is your only room for entertaining? You two must be a very warm and welcoming pair. When more than 4-5 people come over is it family or friends, either or both? What do you do? All watch a game in that room? Have conversations all over the house? Are these family holiday or other gatherings? I mean if it's family, yes you need a place to sit, but chairs will get moved all over and there's card tables and folding chairs. If it's other couples like yourselves, then I guess it's more formal than family. I'm just trying to get a feel for the demands on your room. Do you like sectionals? Or would you be ok with a sofa and 1 or 2 chairs except for when you have company? If you are getting a sectional for extra seating, let me know. I'll try to get over my dislike of them.🥴 If I was a loner introvert who never had company, I'd like the sofa and a comfy chair with ottoman option. Then I'd put up a card table and put together a puzzle on it. With your gang coming over, I could see a sofa and two chairs and still have folding chairs ready. But that's what you have. Are you looking for a change? Is that why you are looking for a sectional? I guess whatever furniture you get, avoid the big bulky overstuffed type and go for lean trim lines. But if you want a sectional... You have my support of your Option 2....See Morerinked
