Get two of the nicer looking recliners. Will the teens want to sit side-by-side like a couple would?

The floor looks good. Please post the room measurements. What room/wall is behind you from viewpoint?

I hope there's a plan for the space beneath the TV.

I would not do that puffy reclining loveseat. Do two more smaller scale recliners with an end table in between. I would probably put them in front of the windows with sofa facing the TV, then mount the TV on an articulating arm so it can be adjusted to view from all angles.

The only problem with seating on the long wall is that it won't be comfortable for watching TV.

Are the teens the only ones who usually watch tv here? And what is to the left: any doorways into the room other than the kitchen?

An L shaped sectional with ottoman with one leg on the window wall plus a recliner on the left might be a good option. That way someone could recline and someone could sit in the corner of the L. And when there are more people viewing (you and husband, friends) they can sit with their feet up on the ottoman.

I would choose one without the chaise on the side, and put the reclining chair on the left instead. That will keep those bickering teens out of each other's personal space a little better :)

Keep shopping. We bought this sectional - both ends are recliners. We love it in our cozy (small) TV room.

I designed the sections from options. We also wanted two recliners and I didn't want that puffy recliner look.

I got it a Jordon's Furniture in the Boston Area. They are a regional brand.

How old are they? In our family it's the 11-14 year span that is the worst, and nearing 15 they just sort of have a more "eh, whatever" approach. But obviously that's highly indivual!

For us, the L with ottoman and one recliner works well. The more entitled "princess" sits on her throne (lol) and the rest of us pile on the sofa, feet up on the ottoman or perpendicular leg.

Are you putting the doors back on the section below the TV? --

Edit -- Do what groveraxl showed up above with just two bigger doors.

I have both girls (5, ages 8-14) and boys (ages 3 and almost 7) :) People think little boys are more difficult/rowdy. They are wrong. Lol

Our oldest is turning 15 this summer and we have quite a few older nieces and nephews too so I've seen this progression into adulthood intimately. It's pretty amazing what a year will do in a person's willingness and ability to "let it go".

I think brown and grey can be combined really effectively as long as there is a strong contrast. So in essence, charcoal and tan or chocolate and light grey. Leather for one thing (sofa or chairs) and upholstered for the other.

I agree with Lindsey on the brown and gray. And on the leather and fabric. Just make sure any gray you put with brown is a WARM gray.

Oh just noticed you have two posts..I just made suggestion on your other post..nice to hear you created a spot for the tv next to the fireplace!

Actually, you have three posts on this topic, webuser. Go to your profile page and click the link for "Activity." Then on the left, click posts and will show all the discussions you have started.

There are only a couple of comments on each of those posts, so I would write a new comment that says DUPLICATE POST on each one, then add a link to this post.

There's no really way to combine posts. You may still be able to delete them, of that I am not sure.

What are the room dimensions?

just guessing?...why not a recliner sectional and one small accent chair next to fireplace..

You will need a sectional that has a corner piece not a curve..this will be to big for your room....I would not add any wedges with cup holders..way to media room looking..keep it classic in style simple..what is the size of that sectional? It looks Hugh!

It also has the drawback of only really allowing two to sit in comfort while watching tv. Anyone else has their profile to the screen.

Here is a layout with 17’ wide 19’ long

has a 10’x10’ sectional

would need a 10’x12’ rug

this sectional is only 32” deep

2 chairs 35”x35”

with 24” square end tables

36” square coffee table but could go larger..only size I have

You could do 2 regular sofas no recliners...add two swivel glider chairs for viewing TV and Fireplace..

I have sofas facing each other with two smaller swivel rockers facing TV and love it...17’ wide is plenty space..from back of sofa to back of sofa is 12’ in my room

Well, something's got to give. Either both girls get a recliner and parents are SOL, or you choose a layout that is attractive and sensible for the room as a whole and no one reclines lol. Or only those with a medical need recline ;)

The first pic you posted in the last batch, with the two white sofas and two grey chairs, would work really well in your room. One of the chairs could recline. If you wanted you could use a sectional in place of the two white sofas. That's similar to what I was suggesting above. If you have an ottoman to put your feet up on would your younger daughter feel that was fair? Or would it make your husband more comfortable with saying, "life's not fair kid"?

No chaise if you do a sectional...

Thank you!:) we love it and so comfy for watching TV..I love my swivel rockers! Sitting in it right now:) when my kids come to visit (29 and 31) they love laying on each sofa and watching TV or enjoying the fireplace..I also have 2 small 18” square ottomans we move around the room as needed they have casters...to put feet up or sit close to the fireplace..if playing cards we pull them up to the coffee table.

I would not center it to the TV but centered in the room....with this nice open space TV viewing will be no issue.

AJW..any luck shopping yesterday?
