Please help me arrange my furniture and find great curtains & tables
Please help! We had massive ice damage so needed to gut most of the house. We are still working on the repairs so our budget is tighter. We just moved home and dumped this furniture in the room. We like to keep our feet up on the ottoman but it's in the way a lot of the time and it eliminates our ability to have a coffee table. With the TV on the fireplace, we all mainly sit facing that way in the room. The brown sofa is from my kid’s bedroom and doesn’t stay there if I can help it. We flipped our family room and living room so the furniture in the pictures wasn’t bought for the space and I’m struggling to arrange it in a nice way…
We plan to paint the main area Ben Moore Revere Pewter (lighter sample) and the kitchen the granite color. We are considering an accent wall of the granite where we had red.
I also have a nice leather recliner that matches the sofas we can put in here too, I have another place I can move red chairs if recommended. We like red but I would consider a new rug also.
Please provide suggestions on:
- Placement of the existing furniture
- New end tables to buy and where to put them
- New curtains, style and color (I’m liking grey) we have a lot of windows
Thank you for any ideas and feedback!

I need help arranging furniture, please....(lots of pics)
Comments (14)johnatemp, you're right, I don't want to move the tv. That alcove next to the fireplace is really too small for the tv. Besides, there are cables coming from all over the house that get wired to the stereo that is with the tv. I had thought many times that I would like to make the area where the eating area is move of a lounge area. There are really too many doors in that area to make it a very cozy area. I have another area next to the kitchen that I'm doing that instead (and bigger). I have thought about removing the leaf in the table to make it smaller to fit the space better. Most of the time there is only 4 of us eating. Chris, the rug is situated the same way it was in the old location. I have it setting back a bit so that the lamp cord can hide under it and remove the trip hazard. I like the idea of the sofa table under the window. That statue is over 50 lbs, so I need help with that one (and we were in a hurry to go furniture shopping). I got some pretty good ideas while I was out. I'm thinking instead of a sectional, maybe an oversized chair with a couch or love seat? Either way, I'll only have seating for about 4 people (the corner in a sectional is pretty lost). I did find a curved sectional I liked, but it still only seated 4. I'm going to work on the end where the chair and ottoman are along with the table and chairs to see if I can come up with some more room. I'll take some more pictures and post when I'm done to see what you think. Also, any light recommendations for the table where the recliners are? I'd like to have something that doesn't sit on the table, but still worked as task lighting. The guys do play chess there frequently, so I need something that doesn't sit on the table, but will still give hoof task light. You're also right, Chris. I'm trying to get away from the log or cabin feel, and more or a transitional feel and try to accessorize with our horse "stuff". Robbi...See MoreFamily Room Furniture Arrangement help, please?!
Comments (5)mdln, can't tell you how much we like the new set-up . I am a very "straight lines" kind of person, and would NEVER have thought of it. Best part is, it requires no new furniture purchases! I can get right to my fall accessorizing! I think it will look even better once we can do wood floors and an area rug. I have a bunch of kids playing in there now, but will take pictures when I can. Thank you again for your input, so glad you shared your designer info. with me!...See MoreCan you help me arrange furniture in my living room?
Comments (8)You have a beautiful home! Okay, from what I can tell is you have too much furniture in the room. If you have a couple of teenage boys, then keep the floral sofa for now, if not, it probably should go. lol Once you take that sofa out you can then figure a better floor plan for the leather furniture. I like the arrangement but I'd scoot the leagther sofa back to the sofa table. And maybe add a coffee table in front of the sofa. You will still have space for walking and for your little one to play. Maybe a painted wood coffee table to add a bit more color? I would take the end table/lamp out of the room, the one between the chair and wall, and add a floor lamp in the corner. With those pieces gone, you can turn the clock to face the TV, but centered in the small wall space near the stairs. Rooms need to have a bit of airiness to keep from feeling crowded/claustrophobic. I've been in your situation before and it was hard getting rid of pieces I liked, but once I did we felt a lot more comfortable!...See MorePlease help me arrange my living room!
Comments (4)Could you center the couch w/ the window and move the chair (angled) to the opposite end? That way, someone could see the tv from the chair as well....See Moremiss lindsey (She/Her)
