Living Room Furniture Layout - Need Help Please!
Comments (7)les917 - the answers are no and no. No TV, and we cannot (and I don't think want to) move the fireplace. nanny2a - thanks, you are totally right. The coffee table is shown slightly in the wrong spot. I envision it being a coffee table sitting in front of the large sectional (hence wanting it to be the length it is). It will not be sitting in the center of the room like shown. Does anyone see any concern about clearance between the chaise and the fireplace (where one would walk to go from center of living room into the dining room). What kind of clearance do you think is needed/what is the max length and width I could get away with for a chaise/daybed in that area? And does anyone see an issue with the fireplace sitting in the middle of the room, and nothing really being oriented towards it? That is one of my primary concerns with the layout I've put together......See MorePlease need help with furniture/ideas for my living room
Comments (6)Hello Lina! I can’t wait to see what you end up choosing for this space - it is lovely. I agree that neutral upholstery is the way to go, introduce colour with color with throws and cushions. A vintage French leather club chair or two would look wonderful in this space too. I love this look by Brooke Giannetti at Patina Farm. Cheers, Susannah...See MoreToo much furniture! Help me arrange my living room please?
Comments (9)Holy moly, so many great ideas and feedback here. Thank you all so much! And boo - I spent a lot of time trying to decide on window coverings for those weird skinny windows, LOL. As least they're cheap JC Penney shades and won't hurt too badly when I replace them. I like the dark wood trim and didn't want to cover it up, so that's why I chose those and not curtains. But I heard everyone loud and clear. ;) Storage definitely is an issue with this house - there's exactly none. All the storage space was sacrificed for a big open feel, and even the closets are postage-stamp size. Thus the big old coffee table thing (storage!) and the entertainment center (storage!) and the end table (you guessed it, STORAGE!). I love the Besta idea, though! Didn't even know something that cool existed. I am worried that placing the main seating against the half-wall will put the seated person too far from the TV; I do a lot of gaming so I tend to sit closer for full immersion. I was considering moving the seating way closer to the TV, which would create a big space by the half wall, and then putting a narrow table or something back there, i don't know. I'm so terrible at this stuff, that's why I'm so glad Houzz is a thing! A sectional, huh? How does one find a sectional that doesn't scream 80's media room? Off to google I go... :)...See MoreI need tips on furniture arrangement in my living room!
Comments (2)Please give dimensions of the space. Two things off the top: Skip the loveseats. They are nothing but oversized chairs for one. You can get two chairs in the space of a single loveseat and seat more people. I would probably not mix pure white with cream. It's going to look like a mistake. You can go all neutral, but choose neutrals that aren't so close in value....See MoreAnglophilia
