Not a fan of sectionals and your space appears at first glance to be WAAAY too small...but I can see how one cornered to sit in front of the window then down the long wall would hide the air conditioner, you could pull it out and put a sofa table with lamp there, and then give you a large open area for a dining room that could slop into the living room when needed. In the bedroom put full-length curtains covering the entire wall..no one will SEE the bed off center.

How much seating do you need to accommodate?

Could you also post some dimensions. The T.V IMO can go on the long wall to the left of the fireplace with a shallow cabinet underneath then a piece of art on that same wall where you put a table. I would not even try to make that fireplace a focal point with the furniture it is just all wrong in placement.How many people on a regular basis at the dining table ? If just one or two I would look into a modern folding table put it against the wall and get some stacking chairs that can go in a closet and be used when you need them. The bedroom is small but again without actual dimensions hard to tell.

I would suggest the long couch with two chairs and place the couch on the right side of the photo. In the bedroom, get drapes to cover the entire back wall, grommet drapes would be best as you could slide them open for light when needed. The place your bed a few inches out from the drapes and go from there. You could do a similar treatment in the living room using drapes in the same color as the fireplace. When you get dining room furniture, get a narrow long table and make it set horizontal in the room so it makes the long room look wider. I think your place is wonderful and I wish you the best life living there.

I agree with placing the sofa against the right wall. Then angle a chair on the left side in from of the fireplace.

I agree the sofa on the long wall, and would consider a sofa with a leg extension on the window side...it will provide more seating, more comfortable seating and distract from the ac unit.

For dining, do you need formal? Or is casual ok. Perhaps a bistro table with a couple of chairs will be enough...or if you plan on staying, is there room for a counter peninsula that you can make an eat-in space on it? If you need more dining area for entertaining, I'd consider a table that is convertible to something larger.

Many great features..it's a pity of course the fireplace is so oddly placed next to the window but oh well

I'd be an odd person that'd prefer putting a sofa on the left, TV on the right..just a gut feeling..plus I'd love to be closer to the fireplace when lounging

I love (some)sectionals but with one smaller living area you'll get more flexible arrangement with a sofa plus two easy chairs. No long sofa-84' would be the max I'd go with. Then of course I can still lay down on small/medium sized sofas since I'm not tall..and if you're very tall and prefer to lounge that of course should be taken into account. Maybe you can have an ottoman in lieu of coffee table-a) comfy to use as additional seating b) put a tray on it and you can treat it as a coffee table

I'd try to remedy the living room window situation with either hanging double rods..or maybe looking into suspension from the ceiling rods..so you'll have more place between the rod and the window itself thus covering A/C unit when you feel like it. I'd go with curtains that don't differ much in color from walls/fireplace..maybe solids, maybe very subtle pattern/texture that combines white and gray.

It's good that you can't place TV over the fireplace, the fireplace is fab

I'd use the opportunity of the longer wall and look for some combined storage that would be able to incorporate TV/maybe books/documents/maybe table linens and all sorts of stuff like that, whatever you need to accomodate. It can be of any style.

Don't forget light and plants-first they're pretty second they're useful, third they're best friends when one needs to create sense of balance.

Dining table-I'll try to go with the round one (is 48' inches enough? or even better if it has a leaf and you can go to oval shape when needed) since it's easier to navigate around. Of course one needs to see the dimensions of the room to say for sure. I'd keep it closer to the left wall.

In the bedroom I agree with previous posts..put up the curtains, no one will care the bed is off centered. You might continue to care though:) If a person is into symmetry he's into symmetry. But a sense of symmetry can be achieved also by careful minding of balance. You'll have nightstands, lights.,again plants if you wish so..you'll have art at some point..now you see an empty room (is it empty now?) with all the faults under magnifying glass so to say..but it won't be empty. Ignore slight assymetry and balance your other pieces. Look for the visual weight to be more or less same allover the room. Nice storage you've got there!

Cool place! I like the kitchen. (And love Denver.)

In the BR, how about a long curtain rod across the whole window (left wall to cabinet, and hung high near the ceiling) and stack the drapes or one very wide drape at the left side? That will give a bit of symmetry or balance with the cabinets on the right. Since you have baseboard heating you may not want drapes to the floor (which most people like.) Maybe you could have some sort of fringe at the bottom that lets heat through. Not sure if that would work or not.

When considering furniture, do you have visitors who stay overnight? (You're in a great state for visits.) You might want to consider a chair bed with a storage ottoman; both do double duty.

Wow, thank you guys for all of your great advice! I can't figure out how to respond to everyone individually on here but I'll try to answer everyone here:

1. the dimensions of the living area/kitchen are: 11'-9"x26ft (to the kitchen) BR is 13'x8'

2. Ideally, I would like a place for a guest to sleep in the living room

3. I like to entertain a lot so I would love to be able to accommodate more people at the dining table with an extending table

4. I love the look of plants and fountains I'm a true Pisces who just loves a zen zone to escape to after a long day.

5. I like the idea of a tv on the left wall and a dining table should I get an island too to break up the kitchen from the dining area?

6. I'm only 5'3'' but if I have a taller guest I don't want them to feel uncomfortable sleeping on the couch.

Thank you guys for all your help!

Really nice kitchen -- a lot larger than I expected.

If you cover the register (in any room) or the ac unit, they will not work efficiently. Whatever furnishings you put in front of the window by the fireplace needs to have space between them and/or legs to raise it above the register along the baseboard during winter and might need to be moved in summer when you're using the ac. You probably could, however, set a chair with ottoman and table "in front of it" with some space between without creating a problem -- just not something solid to block the air flow.

No, definitely do not get a sectional. They limit furniture placement options and no one actually likes sitting for extended periods of time in a chair w/o armrests.

Invest in an inflatable mattress (or two) for overnight guests. If it doesn't come in a storage bag and/or you have no good place to put the mattress, with or without bag, then consider investing in storage a ottoman for that, preferably with a reversible top so it could be used as a foot stool, seating or coffee table.

With 26' from wall to kitchen, you might consider getting furnishings that can serve multiple purposes.

Two or three smaller identical tables -- preferably with wheels/casters so they could more easily be moved together when a larger table is needed yet each sit elsewhere and used for another purpose when not needed together. One table could serve as an island and your kitchen eating table while a couple of others together could be placed together as a sofa table/desk behind a two seat sofa and serve as a room divider when not needed for entertaining.

Very comfortable chairs -- conference room chairs or executive desk chairs -- (again with wheels/casters) could do double duty as dining chairs and extra living room seating ... as long as you don't crowd the living room w/too much other non-essential furnishings.

Rolling file cabinets -- they come in wood and in a large range of prices -- could serve as end tables and/or bed side tables and, with casters/wheels, might could be rolled beneath other tables.

Is the fireplace a working one ?...if not I would take the bloody thing out !

We think the fireplace is a really great element. Definitely think about placing the TV on a console on the wall next to the fireplace and get a sofa to go on the wall opposite. You could also get a small chair. Here are a few smaller designs of ours that might help:

My vote is for the sofa on the right wall because the heating element is on the left wall. Make sure you don't cover it. Denver gets cold.

Is there room for a drop leaf table on the blank side of the kitchen? It can be out of the way most of the time and pulled out for company.

I would put the TV to the left of the fireplace, but then I'd make an L of the furniture that's turned 90 degrees from er612's rendering -- that is, one arm facing the TV and one the fireplace. Then you could see about either a small table on the wall near the kitchen (opposite from the TV wall), or between the cabinets and the seating area, or put a tall bar-type table right behind the couch for a variety of options. A drop-leaf table will be your friend in all these conditions.

Actually, if your kitchen is nearly 12 feet wide, you should have space to do a table on the wall there -- probably a real/drop-leaf table will work better than an island, both because it will seat more when pulled out and because you won't have to keep space for aisles on both sides, so the space will feel larger. If you think you'll want the working space, you could get a high-top table style.

Cute place! have fun.

Oh, and don't worry about symmetry, just balance. You have to fit into the space you have!
