need advice as to how to set up this living room, furniture ideas?
Comments (2)Looks like your sectional will work well in the space. The chaise side along the windows will be a perfect spot for a cup of coffee, glass of wine, reading or just an afternoon nap. You could add a pair of comfortable chairs to the side opposite the windows. Swivels would be nice for watching the t.v. or enjoying the fire but could then be turned to face the sectional for conversation as well. Something in a beige or camel leather would be nice. Definitely a cozy area rug. Congratulations on both your new lake home and your retirement!...See MoreNeed ideas and suggestions for placing furniture in living room.
Comments (10)I have the same situation in a small house and I put my very large desk under the window. It works very well for me. Switch the seating tv area to the front of the room. The sofa can stay as is with a lot of large down filled throw pillows or the sofa that you posted. Delineate the space with a rug as large as possible. Keep the cabinets at the tv and around the seating low (to the back height of the sofa maximum). At the desk area flank the desk on either side with tall billy bookcases with top extensions - as tall as possible. Also add doors to hide the storage items. If you feel you need a physical separation, install sheer white curtains very full, from the ceiling to the floor. It will add privacy and filter in light. This plan will eliminate people from passing your workspace and containing the living space. Here's a plan and some inspiration pics. The line behind the lounge chair is the sheer curtain ceiling to floor. It can be any divider, but not that open shelf you have. The trick with open dual purpose rooms is to keep it simple and hide the clutter while making the spaces functional. You can use the open shelving you have on the right of the chaise (next to the door). TV Wall - Hang a cabinet off the wall to visually create an open space. This pic shows seating at front and work area at window. (I love the light fixture!) Full white sheer curtain panels are one of my favorite design tricks....See MoreOpen concept living room + dining room - furniture advice needed
Comments (3)Once you have furniture in your space the chair rail will not be noticed on that side. It will not be the focal point. Your furnishings and artwork will be what people will see. Also, spaces that are completely balanced are not nearly as interesting as having a little asymmetry here and there imo....See Morehow should I place my furniture in this living room?
