Right furniture for living room?
Hi,
We recently remodeled our kitchen. I am super excited! Now, we need to buy new furniture for the living room.
I am not sure if I should be looking for a sectional (with or without chaise) or couch and loveseat? The room is 19'x13.5. I have a floor vent ~13" from the wall right under the center of the picture window which is presenting some challenges. I want to maximize seating without making it look like a sea of furniture. Husband likes deeper couches that he can lounge on. Help!? What would you do? Not sure how to lay it out.
Here are some pics of new kitchen and the living room.

6 years agoI like your current layout, but I'd add a side chair, back facing the kitchen. WHichever couch you go with (hopefully not black), don't pick a matching chair. Pick one with an interesting texture or pattern. I'd get a nicer looking coffee table too. The area rug needs to be bigger, it should fit under the couch. Some floor length panel curtains will help warm the room up visually - cream, white or close to the wall color. Lastly, I'd bring in a tall plant to the right of the window.

need help finding the right furniture for this living room
Comments (1)Hard to give you much input without precise measurements and photos of adjoining rooms. But you have to keep that entry in mind because you need 3’ min for walkways. Probably need to keep furniture to small scale. Probably a condo size sofa, for that long wall and a chair either side. Coffee table end tables and maybe a small bench....See MoreLiving room grey and pink- need help with the right sofa
Comments (27)Beverly, I like the look you created. However, I just got the wall painted. It is a high ceiling so I cannot repaint myself. It is sand color (Wise Owl by Kelly Moore). I am hoping for the grey sofa, sand walls and brown floors to be the neutral colors that will not stand out. Only the blush/pink accents to pop. I did the opposite in the other room with brown floor, grey walls and brown sofa. and teal color for pop. Will light grey sofa achieve this goal better than dark grey?...See MoreNeed help finding the right furniture!
Comments (5)From the left wall going past the front door, it looks like you could float a sofa in that area. The sofa's back would face the left wall. It would create a hallway effect coming in from the front door. On the right side wall, looks like you might have room for a TV console with a TV on it. In front of the windows would have 2 (might only be one based on the size of the furniture) you could put the chairs. The best thing for you to do is find furniture that you like, then you can either draw out a furniture layout on paper or get some blue painters tape and tape out the furniture sizes on the floor and see how it flows for you and if the size of the furniture is correct. Furniture always looks smaller in a showroom so you want to make sure your furniture measurements are spot on for the size of your room before you make any purchases....See MoreHelp with living room/ family room
Comments (42)Good morning Jalpa, May I be direct about the furniture placement? I do not want to offend. Please do not purchase a theater chair or three seater couch. If you really do want to open up the room, add comfortable seating, accessibility and aesthetics to your room then I suggest that you get 2 recliner or regular love seats. The larger furniture limits your TV viewing and crowds the room. If it was me I would replace the sectional with 2 comfy love seats. I would put them in the corners and have the tv on the stair wall. I know that the furniture store wanted to give you a deal but honestly your comfort and overall happiness in your living room for years to come is well worth the money spent to put the right furniture in your living room. So whether you get love seats with recliners in them or love seats that you can add ottomans to them; I ask you sincerely; Please do NOT get a 3 seater couch nor a theater love seat. Theater love seats confine you to only two people whereas a regular (even with a recliner in it) love seat makes it possible for 2 to 3 people to sit in them and one person to lay down in them. Forgive me for my boldness but the sectional and any 3 seater couch will close off and overwhelm your living room. Please get 2 love seats for your living room. I sincerely believe that you will be happier in the long run. Also, the one love seat that is in the furniture store would not go well with your sectional. When furniture does not match it really t akes away from the beauty of the room. The first one is from HOUZZ. The second one is from Shields Reclining 68" Pillow Top Arm Loveseat at wayfair https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/palliser-furniture-shields-reclining-68-pillow-top-arm-loveseat-paf8589.html?piid=27367354%2C27374487 [houzz=https://www.houzz.com/products/medora-manual-double-reclining-loveseat-prvw-vr~154549915]...See More

6 years agoIt is a living/family room and our only room with a TV. We live in the SF Bay Area, so our house is small and space is at a premium. ;) We have two young kids. We entertain a bit (with other families with kids), so we would like to maximize the number of seats and are ok with being in close quarters. We are currently using the furniture, etc from our playroom in this living room. I also would like to do something with the "beam" to make it nicer and less of an eyesore.
I was looking at this sectional: https://www.bassettfurniture.com/Allure-Large-L-Shaped-Sectional-%7C-Living-Room-%7C-Bassett-Furniture-DZ42608.asp
or this sofa:
