New room. How would you set up the furniture?
Comments (9)Hey guys, thanks. I was thinking of the same furniture configuration, with one couch along the window and another perpendicular to it - with a table in between them. The a big square coffee table- wide plank wood, dark, with a ledge below so I can store my current magazines and catalogs. Perhaps a jute rug to finish - although I have to think more about this since my cats will have a field day with anything I put there. I can then take stock and see what else I can add. Unfortunately my Grandfather's non-motorized 1922 Singer sewing machine won't have a place in the new room, although I'll reserve that decision until after the basics are in. I am pretty sure I will need two couches (no sectional - we have one in the basement) but want to make sure I have considered all my placement options beforehand. Mona asked: One question, if you're going to leave a pathway because of the way you place your furniture, then your furniture won't be centered in the room. Where are you placing the 52" TV? Centered on the wall? Or centered with the furniture that will be facing it? We planned to put the TV in the center...there's really no other option outside doing a corner piece which we've already jetisoned. Do you have another suggestion? Vampire: I am planning natural woven roman shades for each bottom window. I still have to select the actual material since I want privacy but also want it to look good from the outside. The left wall is a traffic lane, so I cant put any furniture there unless I dramatically change the furniture config and builtins....See MoreFurniture layout in step down living room/step up
Comments (5)I like your house -- it has character! I would place the television on the blank wall shown in your second photo. You could float a sofa in the middle of the room with chairs on each side. Then, place a sofa table behind the sofa. I wouldn't remove the railing, since there's a door so close to it. I could just imagine guests walking in and inadvertently falling off the ledge....See MoreHow should I set up our living room furnitures with angled fireplace?
Comments (1)We need to see your furniture but to be honest i often just ignore corner fireplaces they are iMO the dumbest thing ever but I need to see your stuff and I assume they had dance parties in there since the whole center of the space is empty. These are some good ideas to start your plan IMO you need to figure out the TV first...See MoreHow to fill up the wall without making room look smaller?
Comments (3)The concept of negative space means that not every nook and cranny have to be filled. Let the eyes rest. One thing you could do if you're looking to do something different is instead of the basic wall art, how about framed prints in a vertical column? That way you can use a number of pieces without it filling up the wall. I've had that for many years, and it looks great. Another idea is a tapestry. Take your time and get pieces you love....See Morelittleprince2
