Comments (11)Oof.. this is tough. The problem with the family room is that it's not so much a room in its own right as it is a junction for all the other rooms. Due to where the bedroom doorways are and how the kitchen and foyer connect to it, you have lots of square footage taken up by pathways to get to the other rooms. I don't think either the builder's suggestion or your configuration really works - the builder's doesn't work because it's cramped and basically ignores the fireplace... that they put there. Yours doesn't work because it has furniture against the walls (a la waiting room) that require people to have to walk in front of anyone seated to get to a bedroom. I agree with above - you need to float the seating and probably eliminate a sofa and replace with some sitting chairs (which will give more flexibility)....See MoreStruggling with fireplace wall and furniture placement
Comments (9)Can you put a long console table under the TV and move the chairs closer to the center of the room without making it look more congested? It's hard to tell how much space you have from photos. Maybe try moving the chairs forward to see how it feels before you buy another piece of furniture. The coffee table may be a bit too large for the space. Also, the mantle and hearth could be re-styled without much effort. Look for some ideas in the Houzz photos. Placing something interesting on the hearth below the mantel would soften the contrast (plant or ceramic piece?). The candlesticks placed on the ends of the mantel are visually lengthening the mantel and creating a stickman silhouette with the round mirror (sorry, now you can't un-see it)....See Morefurniture placement with corner fire place
Comments (32)Hello Anna, The 3D rendition is complete. I will take a screenshot of the living room. Please know that the styles and colors but only the furniture placement is being suggested. I tried to match what you have to the best of my ability but the program doesn't always have exact matches. A 3D walkthrough is available, yes free, if you like. The only issue with that is I have to send it to an email address. Please believe me I do not use your email for ANY reason other than for your convenience and ability to do a virtual walkthrough of the room.

Comments (10)Weighing in because our living room has a very similar layout! We made it trickier by hanging a TV on hte wall across from the fireplace because we want to use it for movie nights and sports too. We have two couches facing each other in the mdidle of the room with two chairs angled in front of the fireplace facing in towards the middle of the room. We also have two consoles on the sides of the opening towards the library (seriously, same layout as y'alls!) but our walls there don't have interior windows. On the end of the room farthest from th elibrary, we've squeezed a game table. Not sure if you have the space - would help if you just left that one door to the sunroom closed....See MoreAngela Smith
