Help me with my rectangle living room/dining room combo!
Comments (34)Thank you all for your suggestions! @Enduring I definitely can push the TV back on the stand. I don't think I have enough room to allow the back of the sofa to be a walk way. @Immcnitt I like the idea of a console table. I'll see about playing around with the layout over the next few days. I agree with the chair in the corner, it is a bit odd. I do think the layout is TOO open now and makes the table look far to small. Hmm. @Jamie Our ceilings are too high, would the new lighting need to be shorter? @Jamie I would love a new rug in the living room for sure. I hadn't thought about a rug in the dining room, maybe that would make that space feel so open now....See MoreHelp me with my living room/dining room. 2 sofas? and how many chairs?
Comments (13)These are the listing photos from the prior owner. The room is empty and I'm looking for help. In the dining room all I have is a table. I really like this Robin Bruce sofa that a local store has but I was thinking Navy. My husband thinks that is too dark in the room and also not practical with the dog. But I'm really wanting advice on furniture placement/arrangement. Would you do 2 sofas facing each other and tv over fp or put a console on long wall with tv?...See MoreHelp me pick art for my living room + dining room!
Comments (10)No, I don't think it would look awful. I love big art pieces. The important thing though is do YOU like it? It's your home and it's important that it please YOU. Looking at your picture, I'm wondering if the art above the sofa isn't a tad big for that wall. (I really like it, btw.) Usually, the eye appreciates some breathing room around art. If you have painter's tape, try taping out that canvas' size above your couch and see just how much wall it covers. That might help you visualize its negative space better. Good luck and enjoy the process!...See MoreHow should I revamp my living room?
Comments (11)This is a crude drawing but goes with what I described below. Floating furniture and making two seating areas will eliminate the waiting room feeling. You'll need more pieces. Here yellow is seating and blue is casegoods (more or less) plus lamps, plants. "X" is just not in that location. Added TV to the big wall end of the space. The description starts at the top of this illustration and works through to the bottom of it. Hope it is helpful and you have some budget for added items. Angle your two chairs flanking the console. Hang art 5" above the console and keep it within 75% of the console's width. Add 1-2 lamps to the console. Then turn the loveseat to face the console and two chairs. Put the coffee table with that group (12-18" from all the seats) and you have one sitting area Push the larger sofa up behind the loveseat to face the big empty wall at the other end. Back to the console side of this, fill in the area where the big sofa overlaps the smaller one with a pair of plants that do well in low light like ferns or palms in nice baskets for some texture. Buy two more matched small coffee tables, a backless sofa, and another pair of swivel chairs. Float the backless sofa with the two small coffee tables either side of it. Add the swivel chairs on the side of this group nearest the large wall. The two small coffee tables serve all 5 seats so allow 12-18" between each seat and the tables. Buy a credenza and TV for the big wall. Flank it with two large scale floor lamps. Hang a gallery wall opposite the window. Here is a backless sofa. The two smaller coffee tables would be on either side of it, all three between the larger sofa and two new swivel chairs....See MoreRelated Professionals
