how to make my family room open floor plan cozy and put together
Comments (29)you may want to try sofa on the wall across from the window and love seat on window side. good job not crowding the window, by the way. if you move the sofa, keep the loveseat away from the window (you should be able to walk behind it) more on that later. having the sofas across from each other will open up the room and say "welcome, come on in" when you put a sofa across the room it says, caution keep out. your choice on how you want the room to feel. keep the sofa and loveseat the same distance from the fireplace sides, center them on fireplace not the room. if you want to keep the black footstool, try your red throw folded and draped over it and/or add a woven tray similar to your beautiful basket. (the tray will act as a place for snacks/remotes etc.) A lovely tall/and wide plant would be great behind/and to the side of the furniture on the window wall. (use a quality faux if you aren't a plant person or don't want to maintain it.)...See MoreHelp me fix /decorate my my living room into Eclectic and yet cosy.
Comments (34)Don't move the credenza then. Get an area rug, center one group of seating around fireplace and conversation and then maybe get a tea cart or something and put a small chair or two around that near the doors/windows to the outside. You can sit and sip your tea and watch the birdies outside there in the winter! When the weather gets nice you can carry the chairs out to the deck to sit in the sun! Then roll the cart out there with some cocktails later in the day!...See MoreNeed ideas for making this living room warm and cozy!
Comments (25)I think that you need more lamps in the room. Does anyone read or knit in this room? If so, a lamp and table between the chairs would be a handy place for a book and a drink. You definitely need something to anchor the couch, either a coffee table or perhaps the ottoman that you showed. I'm a book person, so I'd love to see bookcases behind the chairs, but that might not suit your life style....See MoreAny tips on how to work this fireplace? The room is 16x25 feet
Comments (3)Those are two different things. Creative art room vs cozy story telling room. IMPO even though this is a split, it's a basement. It will be used in a very utilitarian way. Crafts probably, cozy stories, not so much. Mine wouldn't even use it for TV unless it was movie night with the entire family. The fireplace's placement sort of takes it out of the picture...you could face a seating area towards it at the space of the chair in the pic..far away but still in view? My hope for you is it is a gas fireplace to be used as a fancy 'space heater' easy on, easy off. It will make a nice prop for Christmas pics!!...See Morelattebugg
