Are you replacing any of the current furnishings? Right now the room looks so crowded with the existing furniture.

Are the DR chairs leather too? I would suggest nothing leather, nothing brown. I'm looking...

I would get rid of any of it

Yes they are brown leather with a cream marble table

Will these new chairs replace the chaise and small chair next to it? Is that tile area a walkway or your kitchen?

Would love to bring cream into this room. We are just moving our own furniture around but will buy whatever we need. Hate this look!

Debbie, that looks like a wood burning fireplace that you use; correct? I'd be concerned about what the rising heat would do to a TV, and also that it looks like you don't have much height over the FP for one. What is the distance between the mantel and the ceiling?

@Debbie, I don't see a cream marble table in the room. Is it elsewhere or are you planning on buying one?

Gotta clean black soot off fieplace. Just made it gas and removed doors and hoping new bronze screen will cover black

Denita, the marble table is the dining room table.

It's a nice house! What I notice are several large pieces that kind of overwhelm what appears to be a cozy/smaller room- chaise, coffee table, couch.

My3dogs brings up a good point. Is there enough height for a tv?

If I were in your shoes I would replace the DR chairs with something else entirely not leather and remove the chaise, the oversized coffee table and the small chair next to the FP. I would replace the chaise and small chair with two swivel chairs and replace the coffee table with something smaller and lighter weight visually. I'm not a designer so take my suggestion with a grain of salt :)

Let me see if I can find an insp pic to work with your FP.

Is there any wall in that room that you can put the TV on rather than above the FP box?

Now that I see you do have a wall, put the TV there on an articulating arm. Its the wall to the immediate right of the FP between the FP and the window. You would have to move the sofa. Or, as Diane R wisely mentions, sell the sofa and find a replacement. Find one that is not so heavy and not as large as the current one.

Like yes replacing those chairs and my 3 dogs it is now a gas fireplace just got it put in

37 inches above

Would like to see tv from kitchen

Alot of these pieces are mixed with my husband because we just got married and are combining too much

If I got rid of all if it any layout suggestions or colors for both rooms to work together? Hubby is getting upset I threw so much out

You can see the TV from the kitchen if you put it on an articulating arm.

Don't throw it away - sell it and come up with replacements together. Put together a plan first, like you are doing now.

Step 1: measure the rooms and sketch with dimensions of everything (walls, windows, FP etc) in each room.

I like that tv idea!

I like the tv ideas, too, however, if you move the couch, will it cut off access or make the room seem smaller?

Diane R you said EXACTLY what I told my husband. 2 new chairs can't save a sofa I hate. Waste of money

You could sell it and use the money towards a replacement.

Is the living room ceiling fixture going to block your view of the TV from the kitchen?

This all started because I got a gas fireplace in the dining room. That room is really the dining room and I made it a family room off the kitchen and put the dining room in the living room because we never use it anyway

It's becoming alot more complicated than I thought, lol

It seems we have gotten away from chair suggestions. That's what can happen here and it can be overwhelming. I would try the tv where you want it and replace the chairs. If you aren't happy w/ that, you have been given other options to think about.

My 3 dogs yes the light has to go

If I changed the sofa pillows as someone suggested what color would work and then get 2 new chairs

I would suggest picking out the chairs, then get pillows to coordinate.

I would encourage you to sell the items you don't like. This is a new beginning and you need to feel comfortable in your own rooms.

Makes sense thanks everyone

What was your reasoning to make the bigger room a dining room that you will never use? Doesn't make sense to waste all that space and it looks like a nice bright room too.

Do you have another table in the kitchen?

I think you might want to post a floor plan and come up with a furniture layout, before you throw out, sell or buy anything else.

Were it mine to do, I would put the living room stuff back in the large space, move the dining stuff back to this room. If you do that, would there be space for a couple of comfy chairs used to watch tv placed to one side of FP on ret. arm? Then, you could save up for a new couch, etc. while using the room most of the time.

Is this the only living/family/tv room? You could always put a small tv in your kitchen.

No, lil S we have a large family room with a big TV and 2 little dens. We have a little TV in the kitchen, but I'd like to see that go. Just got the gas fireplace and wanted to enjoy it sometimes. I'm fine if there's no TV. Just use the room for reading or company as we've used it in the past on the other side. But since you said find 2 chairs you love.....I found these: https://www.houzz.com/products/swivel-print-accent-chair-prvw-vr~113150984  Is there any way to make these work with that sofa? I also have a cream marble cocktail table in my room I could move down (ugh, it's heavy) if need be. I like the musical notes by the piano.
