Furniture Home Decorating living room

need help with tv placement and suggestions on a coffee table!

5 years ago

So my coffee table right now is a cheap little table I found at Marshalls as a temporary for the right one. My furniture is low to the ground and I don’t have a ton of space. I also can’t figure out what type of material/color it should be. I’m also purchasing a new tv and getting rid of our old tv stand. Our tv is in a corner area and I can’t figure out if I should mount it. And if so, what would I put under it? Thanks so much in advance for ANY suggestions!!

wonderful room, only a few small tweaks, could really help. you do need a larger stand for your tv, can you pull it out of the corner and put it against the wall? either to the right of where it is cause i can't see there. or where the shelves are or where the chair is. i think you should pull the chair out anyway, not all your furniture needs to be against the wall. here are a couple ideas

i would keep the cute little marshalls table and replace one of your side tables with it, it will give you a touch of variation. here are some other choices for coffee tables, i buy reasonable things, if you use your computer, you can hit the key and it will take you to the company.

you seem averse to color, but white on black is too loud. let me try some other ones.

put one on your chair and they will all match. i have others, and others in a different color if you like all should be under $25.

Unfortunately the chair wouldn’t fit anywhere else in the room, so the corner is my only option for a tv, unless I mounted one where above the bookshelf where the colorful canvas is. But I feel like it would be a little weird there. The pillows on my couch are a light teal and white. The couch is a charcoal gray. Apartment living=tiny spaces, I live in a very expensive area in California. Thank you for the input though, I really liked the tv stands you shared.

Their current lay out block traffic flow. I would much rather go with a love seat and a few comfy chairs. How many in your family. That is how many seats you need. The rest is over kill and does anyone actually FILL a huge sectional or do three people use it? I am just not a fan. As for the TV placement, most want a visual of both the fireplace and the TV so your plan seems to be a decent option. The built in would be worth looking at...It is ironic how often the MOSTLY unused fireplaces everyone desires really messes with furniture arranging. Your new floors are to die for. This gray fad confuses me. Gray is cold,like stainless. Your kitchen and flooring are so warm and rich looking. Half your new space is painted warm the other cool... Which colors will you embrace?

Does the PB sofa creep into the hall? It does feel a little bulky for that room and you cannot get around it on the window side/no place for an end table. No need to sell. Opt1) Keep the 2 chairs,. Put them side by side as they are with a narrow table between. They are fine. OPt 2) Move one of the sofas in from the living room (appears to be a smaller size than the PB one) Move the 2 C&B chairs into the living room. They actually fit better style-wise with the living room chairs (than the blue ones). Do you need all of those chairs in the living room? Could the blue chairs go elsewhere? In other words, what combination of the living room/keeping room furniture works best?

I also agree about my side tables, they’re all the same basically ones just smaller, the one by the chair. Maybe I should switch the glass top one out with one of those to mix it up a bit.

you see what i was saying is that you can't even tell the difference in the colors. so you should really use a darker color. grays maybe? i have lots of turquoise or teal. but if you dont want color.
