I need help with furniture placement in a large living room.
We moved into a villa in Florida a few weeks ago. The rooms are large with 12 foot ceilings, which is what we liked, but now stressing and still having furniture placement problems.
I already got rid of a few pieces so I’m trying to make it work with the furniture I now have. I will include a lot of photos that will hopefully help you help me, please.
The blue tape on the floor is the approximate size of the new larger carpet for the living room, rolled up on the dining area floor. When this is laid the legs of the chairs as well as the side tables will be on the carpet. The living room appears left sided heavy to me. I had the two matching gray chairs close to the couch but that left such a large space behind them so I moved the two chairs back against the half wall. I have pictures of the tufted back chair on both sides of the room. I think I like it on the left side with the matching chairs against the half wall but does that then make it more heavy on that side?
Maybe it doesn’t work on either side..confusion!!!
I will be buying a tall thin palm for the brown planter, then placing it on one side of the room, but which side? The wall with the TV is about 18 feet long and we are looking for a modern long wall TV set up that will help balance things out.
In addition, I had the front door painted black, which I like, and want to have the French doors and the frame of the large mirror in the dining area also painted black. Will this work or look awful? Help!!
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone can give me on anything, it will be greatly appreciated. I used this forum before and it is so very helpful. Thank you Houzz.

Comments (5)If it were me, I would put the couch on the wall with one window to open it up more, but not against the wall, float it out a little maybe put a console table behind it with a lamp or two. I would then put the tv on the stairway wall, possibly angled in the corner? You have quite a few options. I know it is difficult when you have such a big room but floating is the key. You can always anchor the space with a large area rug....See MoreLiving Room furniture placement - need help
Comments (16)Yes, another option is to only use one of my leather chairs and have an "everyday" arrangement and then pull up extra seating when necessary. So, this would seat 4-5. And then I'd pull up the extra rattan chair and the two ottomans to seat 8. Or does it seem unbalanced having the larger leather chair and the smaller rattan chair flanking the fireplace?...See MoreNeed Help with Furniture Placement in Living Room
Comments (15)I don't see how putting a sofa facing the DR and the TV on the wall segment between them allows for decent viewing. I see your two options as (1) putting the TV in the corner (not necessarily on the diagonal -- a 65" TV is generally a little less than 60" wide -- doesn't leave a lot of space, but it can be placed flat) or (2) putting the TV on the wall between the window and the DR and floating a sofa opposite the TV and in front of the stairwell wall with a walkway behind it. I would probably use a sofa or sectional facing the sliders with the TV in the corner and a console or sofa table along the back of the sofa to give a landing spot for the DR and a transition between the rooms (most sofa backs just aren't that special base for a reading lamp too). You say you lean contemporary and the space in that corner is limited, so I would consider a non-traditional option for the TV console. This one is a lot less bulky than a traditional cabinet. It could place the TV flat or angled a bit without being obtrusive. We have a FR with an open end and lots of doors and windows like yours and the only real solution for us was to put the TV in the corner. We had a cabinet for a long time and more recently got the easel (ours is the black, which is a stain so you see grain and it comes off more charcoal than heavy black like a painted finish would be). I am so much happier with it. The components all sit on the bottom, we got charcoal grey flannel baskets for the rest of the shelf space and a cord storage box to contain the power strip, plugs and help control the cords. Once you get decide on the TV and sofa placement, the rest will fall into place....See MoreNeed help with furniture Placement in odd shaped living room
Comments (15)If it was just my husband and I it would be fine the way it is. with children it’s a huge safety issue because if they stand on the couch they can go down the stairs. It’s driving me crazy to say the least. I feel others might look at the room differently than I would and would have a better idea...See MoreRelated Professionals
