I like your room! If you provide more pics and a layout, I think you can create interesting and different corners of arrangement and conversation. Waiting!

You are posting furniture from your other room here.

This is another room and another dilemma, for those who are understandably confused. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5946883/help-is-my-furniture-too-big-for-space

As I said on that other room post, I think the designer had furniture placement right with sofa anchored on the wall facing the beautiful lake views. And I suggested using a screen behind sofa to mitigate short wall, etc.


The chairs are too big. Sofa is fine. Smaller scaled chairs would work better and navy could be nice to complement navy welting on sofa.



But chairs don’t have to be navy. But they do need to be more streamlined than current chairs.

Other than that, another option for that room could also be four chairs with center cocktail table or ottoman. But the easiest thing might just be to switch out the two chairs. The sofa is nice, and can work in that room.

Okay. A lot of rooms with similar functions? Best to first define the function of rooms..... prior to choosing furniture.


A lot of people (understandably) have the idea that interior designing is about choosing furniture and decor. Yes, that is part of it. But, only one part.


Laying out an overall cohesive plan, based on how the homeowner lives, what his needs are, what he likes, etc., is the first step.


Although I would need more information, from the info I have, it looks like the fireplace room serves as more of an entryway, greeting place. So, the bar in there may not be a bad idea. (Albeit, right now the bar feels out of place in both the finish and the size). I see a lot of non-bar items on it.


So, your designer should be looking at the overall situation of how you live and go from there.
