Need help arranging furniture in a weird living room!
Comments (10)I like the suggestions of others, but if you'd rather keep things facing the window (prefer the view or would rather have a more open traffic pattern or whatever), you can totally make that work too. I think the picture window is a centered in the whole space, and you want your living space centered closer to the fireplace, so it may work better to have just one chair or unmatched chairs, so you're not trying to create a symmetrical arrangement in an assymetrical space. Also, it looks like you have a reasonable sized space where the keyboard (?) is. I would consider treating that as a separate little nook (not really connected to the living room) maybe with a cozy chair and side table, or a small desk or the keyboard, or whatever is useful to you....See MoreNeed help with furniture arrangement for awkward living room
Comments (3)Put bookshelf on stairway wall. Put tv in middle of long wall. Put cat tree in corner where bookcase is now. Float couches facing each other - one with back to window. Put couches close enough so you can have an intimate conversation. Typical error in design is placing couches to far apart to have a conversation....See MoreNeed help with arranging furniture for long living room
Comments (4)For your space, yes you need a bigger rug with all the furniture on the rug. If the rusty red pillows are your accent color, maybe find a neutral rug with that also as an accent. You can keep this layout and add two chairs under the window with a table in between. Or you could move the love seat under the window and add a chair diagonally across as an accent chair. You need some artwork or photos or something above the sofa. Is this room just for reading/ conversation or is there a TV? Do you need any shelving for books or storage or display items? Good luck!...See MoreHelp needed - Living room furniture/decor arrangement!
Comments (18)As far as arranging furniture with the columns, I would tend to ignore them and group seating around the fireplace. You are always in good company with a more flexible 3-seat sofa and two upholstered armchairs (or swivels.) I think a sectional will just add another complication to the space. What is opposite the fireplace? Are there any floor outlets near the columns or actually in them? Is there any electrical wiring in the bulkhead above them? They might be interesting if lighted. You could also install some glass shelves between the two that are near the exterior wall. Lighted from the top, that would be a great display for something like colored blown glass. As for the lighting, you can find less expensive variations on those. Scaling them for your room size will also lower the price somewhat....See MoreRelated Professionals
