New Home, Need Help On Living Room Furniture & Layout.
Comments (11)There would be enough space on that wall. My concerns were placing the sofa against the windows. Since the windows are very low (Down to about 1' to the ground), a 37" high sofa would block 2 feet of window height. Depending on how far into the room the sofa is, that would take 2' off of 2-4 windows. (The window location in the render is not 100% accurate, but if you look at the picture, it'll likely cover all 4 windows) In addition, those windows go to the backyard, which we would get afternoon & evening sun from.

Leave space for a baby swing and a play pen to be later exchanged for cube storage for toys. I may consider placing the TV on the wall flanking the chaise portion of your sofa with something under it that can be later used for toy storage. A TV over the fireplace is pretty high for toddlers to watch. Just thinking of the baby shark video and my niece interacting with it - dancing, running and hiding, celebrating when she is safe . . . and all the other learning programs that she loves watching and interacting with while watching. Maybe visit a few friends with babies and toddlers and find out what works for them before making any final decisions. I like the idea of a sofa and two chairs because it is more flexible....See Moreabick2
