Awkward Living Room Corner
Hi there!
I’ve had the hardest time trying to figure out what to put in an awkward section of my living room near the TV. It’s not a full corner exactly. I found a marble shelving unit but it looks like it belongs in a bathroom, and you can just see a jumble of wires. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I included a picture of my living room furniture too so that I can find something that fits into all this.

Comments (13)Love the color of the walls and that wonderful paneled wall. I agree that the tv is in the right place on the paneled wall. Here is a floor plan which may work for you. Use the space that is not under the catwalk above as the seating area. This way the walk thru will be under the lower ceiling. Tuck a 87" wide sofa with a chaise end on the right of the fireplace with a console behind. Install wall sconces for lighting at the console instead of lamps. Lose the big lamp (it's ver nice) and use smaller scaled floor lamps. Get a matching 66" loveseat and angle off the sofa. this will create a more open layout and not so boxed off from the kitchen. Add two matching swivel chairs. The coffee table is a 48" diameter with four round ottomans or floor pillows. The rug is 12 x 15 so that it anchors the furniture and includes the paneled wall and the fireplace into one cohesive area. Along the staircase wall is 10" deep low cabinet or bookcase up to the ceiling for games, books, etc. Something like an Ikea Pax with frosted doors, simple and functional for storage.

Comments (4)I will look to see if I have a floor plan, but if not, how would i go about creating one for you. I know I sound like an idiot but obviously I am clueless as to this kind of stuff and wish my husband would just let me hire a decorator lol! However, he just now gave me another big fat NO to hiring one lol! So needless to say, I am going to have to learn how to do this on my own and asking for help, however annoying I may be, is the only thing I know to do! So I apologize in advance for my ignorance! I will look for the floor plan! Thanks for responding!...See MoreAwkward Living Room Layout Help

Comments (8)Beverly's spot on. Get an appropriate sized rug to define you space--use ALL the space. Everything crammed up on the fireplace isn't working. I will never understand a TV in a room where no seating orientates towards watching it. There's confusion and dishonesty in those configurations. The drapes, matching the walls hung waaay too high...they are adding nothing to your space. Those divided light windows with no casings call for a different sort of window treatment, perhaps roman blinds....See More

6 years agoIt depends if you want to use the space for fun or function. Here are photos to give you visual ideas:
Line narrow, tall bookcases from the back corner around the side where you currently have a shelf, but not on the side of the fireplace, as they would overlap. This would make them appear to be built-ins.
A tall pedestal table with a unique sculpture...
...or a sculpture that stands on its own.
An interesting floor lamp or mood lighting.
A tall piece of art on the wall where you currently have the shelving and use an accent lamp to highlight it.
Hope the ideas are helpful!Kim KP
