Trying to furnish a tricky 2nd living room
Comments (5)Well, you probably need to float the furniture. I like those 2 comfortable chairs. Maybe pull those straight back and have a coffee table in front of the chairs, and if there's room, maybe a backless chaise lounge, so that people in the chairs can see out the beautiful windows. If I hadn't seen your chairs, (and if there's room), maybe think about 4 chairs around a low, round coffee table....See MoreHelp! Tricky living room layout
Comments (13)@Clare Reiss, @njmomma - Thanks! I'm reluctant to cover the doors with drapes because the room will be very dark if I do. Also reluctant to put TV on large wall because I agree that back to the door is unsettling somehow. I think the best option is to go with what @Beverly suggested. The TV is a little awkward between the doors but it's really the best way to go....See MoreTricky living-dining open space layout
Comments (6)If this was to be my apartment, I’d put a round pedestal table in the plant room, with four good chairs(I’d prefer 6 and put the other two to use in the entry or bedroom), find or build or commission a console table for behind the sofa (as in backing up to the sofa) and use that to spread out my work, hold a lamp, vase, etc. so if I had a few friends over for a meal we could sit at the table in the plant room, more than a few I could pull out the long console table to seat more, a whole bunch of people for a party and the console table could hold snacks or act as a bar, etc....See MoreTricky shaped living room
Comments (9)As @shirlpp mentions above, there are various articulating tv wall mounts. And there are also drop down mounts that also swivel/angle; the drop down mounts are particularly useful for mounting tv over the fireplace. mantelmount.com And Amazon also sells their line, as well as others. As another option, you could use a wheeled/mobile tv console/stand - and station the tv on the wall to the left of the fireplace. This could offer you a lot of flexibility and tv placement options....See MoreShiraz Design Inc.
