mona, what a lovely room! I never would have thought a round coffe table would look so good with a sectional, but it's perfect, and has a wonderful design too. Very nice indeed.

You do not have to push the sofa into the corner. You could center the sofa on the wall and put a table in the corner. Placement of photo arrangements can depend on photo size. Small photos, even 5x7, are best placed where a viewer can get up close to see the details. I think you should enlarge photos to 8x10 or greater for best viewing on the wall over the sofa.

Find a lighter color on the paint strip and continue painting with it all the way up and ceiling. If the media stand can be painted do it is wall color but a gloss finish. Add window treatments; throw pillows; ottoman with a large tray; Pottery Barn…used these in a client’s den. If I remember correctly the blue/green of the walls is in the print, but it leans more to your sectional. Walmart Forget about throw pillows…they always will wind up on the floor.

If you want a sectional, it looks like you could have one with the longest section facing the fireplace and either have a short section with its back to the window or opposite that, facing the window. But for placing the recliner so hubby can see the tv, probably back to the window would be best. I would not get a chaise sectional, if you need seating instead of lounging. If you need lounging/tv watching space, then a chaise running along the window would give prime tv view and it wouldn't block the view out the window. Then you could place the recliner (s) facing the window and view the tv - although a 2nd recliner close to the fireplace will have less than optimum view of the tv if there is even room for a 2nd one. You could put the tv on a swing mount so it could be angled more if lots of people are gathered to watch tv. It looks as if you don't have to use that doorway by the tv, since there is another in the dining area? I love a curved sectional for optimum conversation comfort, as well as lots of lounging space: picture the dining room where the painting is here:

How wide can my sectional sofa be for a 15ft x 15ft room?

Honestly I can’t decipher your floorplan as to where you’re putting TV which I assume is focus for the seating arrangement. That amount of walk space is about width of an door, so it could work, but could feel tight for a high- traffic pathway. Also would not leave you any room for end tables, so you need to be thinking, how does your family use the sitting area— do you plan drinks/ snacks/ pizza , does anyone read books that require task lighting ( very quaint I know , and use of phones/ tablets/Kindles etc make such lighting less important). Will you always use the furniture lined up in a row of 4 people, or do you need a conversation grouping where some seating is at right angles or across from each other? It’s fine if not, and if room is mostly a media viewing arrangement, just think about how you may want to use it. Also depends on style of furniture, how deep, how high are backs regarding blocking views.

Here is mine. It has 2 recliners in it. My husband needs his recliner and this was our compromise.

We've had a couple of different sectionals, have one now, and have one tip to offer before you invest, make sure there is a way to keep them attached together because ours doesn't and it's a pain in the you know what! We spent a lot of money on this last one we bought, it's made by Bauhaus and it's junk. Everything from cusions to framing has been a disapointment. Bauhaus is a subsidiary of Lazy Boy, need I say more?

lukkiirish... ironically, after suffering with sliding sectional pieces for about 5 years, I just yesterday installed "sofasnaps" to ours. So far so good... website link below.

P.S. I have no affiliation to the company and, as I said, have only had these things installed for maybe 18 hours.

I have a sectional from Thomasville. It came with the brackets to hold it togther. I can't imagine a company that makes sectionals that wouldn't already have them attached! I have the exact ones in the link that creekylis provided.
