LR - TV and Fireplace placement

K V
6 years ago

I am really struggling on where to place the fireplace and TV in our living room, as well as whether to bump in the fireplace or leave it flush. The room will have a TV but I was hoping to avoid placing the TV above the fireplace. By doing that I am create another problem by having 2 focal points.

Below is a picture of the current plan. The idea is to have the couch on the fireplace side be a dual side lounge so that you can enjoy both spaces. I want to keep the TV on the back wall because we want to position the furniture facing that wall, since the room is wider than it is long.

What problems am I missing with this design? Is there a better setup that I am missing? Should I cave and just place the fireplace on the back wall with a TV above it to avoid the focal point issue? And lastly, if I keep the current design do the bump-ins from the fireplace and built-in create awkwardness?

Any guidance will be appreciated.
