How to arrange furniture in our oddly shaped living room
Comments (4)What is the depth of the couch? The length, width and height of the side tables? Ditto for the arm chair, the size and shape of the ottoman, the height and width of the entertainment center. Is there a desk chair? What is the width of the desk? Does it have an opening in the middle or on the right or left side? Is the back of the desk finished? Right now, making guesses, I can't fit everything into the space unless you don't want to get into the dining room, kitchen or hallway :-( It's not the lack of wall space; it's the lack of space for all your furniture....See MoreSalon (gallery) wall and lamp questions
Comments (5)d_gw - thanks for your input. I am thinking of putting the pansies above a doorway. My husband says it looks like it was painted by a madwoman in an attic. I am definitely getting rid of the small ones and am searching for some other paintings. Ingrid - thanks for the hint; I will have a look. I see what you mean about the dark frames. I recently met a local dealer in vintage art, a very nice man, and I may just have to bite the bullet and buy some decent pictures. I do have some better pictures elsewhere in the house; I collected all the small ones here above the sofa. I am surprised you don’t like the Paul de Longpré print in the middle!!!! The frame is not the best. One of my sons has several artistic yet destitute friends who are over here all the time eating my food and getting into the beer. Maybe I should commission something, HaHa. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to add something more airey - like a pen and ink or architectural drawing....See MoreFamily room furniture arrangement and tv placement help
Comments (2)i would not place over the fireplace, that is too high. you can put on an arm on the left side of the book case where the slot is for a smaller one or leave on the wall it is on, then i would give it a larger console. i think i would continue to have the sofa face the fireplace then have two swivels on the right side of the couch so they can turn to the fireplace, the tv, or the couch. i would not even ask about shelves i would quickly have them filled. if that step down gives a problem i think the least expensive solution is a slanted piece of wood shoved against it. well and glued down. if you ever want a little more color or zip, let me know can give you at the least some cool pillowsl. let me know....See Morehow to arrange furniture in living room with view
Comments (13)Your view is fantastic! I like the idea of mounting the t.v. in the bookcase. Perhaps you can add a smaller bookcase to the den and bring some of your books in there if you're going to make it a reading room. I agree with bringing the green chair up to the conversation area at a right angle to the sofa. Perhaps then you could find a smaller cabinet to put under the opening to hold your record player and components. I also like the idea of grouping your plants in front of the small window between the two bookcases. It looks as though you would have room for a longer sofa in the den if you keep the coffee table but add slender floor lamps on either side for reading. If you would like to keep the dining table where it is, consider swagging a light fixture over to it to define the space. I think this space has the potential to have a cozy, eclectic, lived in bungalow feel with just a few small changes!...See Moresergeantcuff
