I was also thinking along the lines of adding a chaise and positioning it diagonally towards the direction of the tv.

Yes. The other option would be to slide your dining table down that way and rotate it 90 degrees, after which you would have room for a floating island to give you more working space in your kitchen and maybe even a spot or two to perch.

We thought about that too. But with the lack of space, we decided to put the dining space in the kitchen. We have a lot of friend and family and entertain a lot. So we were thinking of adding additional seating perhaps?

The pictures makes the space appear smaller than it is. We eat comfortably without feeling squished. The high ceiling also helps.

Where do the two doors that define the living space go? Is there any cross traffic between the two doors, or does the traffic go from the doors toward the living space or toward the kitchen?

Just one quick thought. If you do not need all 4 chairs at the table everyday, I'd remove the 2 on the sink side of the table and store (or use) them somewhere else. That way, you can easily use the table as work space.

Do you need storage? I'd look for a sideboard. Storage, decoration.

I think, if you get another chair, it should go in the living room/TV area. Not against the wall.

A seating area against that wall will make the sofa look like it's in the wrong place. Like a train station with all seating on one wall facing one way.

@cawaps - They both leads to bedrooms, so no through traffic.

@bac717 - That's a good idea, I actually use it as work space currently. I can not use the chairs anywhere else unfortunately due to lack of space.

@auntthelma - I think you're on to something. A sideboard, credenza, or even a console table against the wall and a lounge chair in the middle maybe?

Awesome apartment. Love the clean modern feel. Maybe something like a dwarf lemon or mango tree could be cool

The t v? Huge! Assuming you don’t want it to remain on the floor...

You (not I) would build this temporary wall in that wasted space …(you have to figure out how to get the power in there and be able to the walk around each end)…one side for the t v and the other side providing more counter space for the kitchen area. Which is great when you have company…you can use it as a drink bar first, and then as a serving bar.

The big window is great, but permanent, so you need no egress. Putting the sofa in front of it removes only the view from the bottom…which isn’t so great, so no loss.

Now..ta da…you have a sofa facing t v, and the rest of the space is left for you to fill.
