Furniture Layout Suggestion for Living Room
Hi
I'm trying to figure out the best way to layout a couch and TV in the great room (see floor plan and pictures). The main issue I have is that the room depth (12'8") is a little limited as the fireplace and counter overhang eats up some of the room (aprox 2 feat) . This area will be the main area that we will be spending most of our time in as well as entertaining guests.
Additional Notes
- The Fireplace has a hidden outlet so it wont be an issue to mount a TV if you think that would be the best place to mount put it.
- If possible we would also like to make the counter overhang usable by putting thin stools that can tuck away under the overhang.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you.

5 years agoHello! I can see how this would feel like a somewhat tricky space. I don't know how many people you're hoping to seat or how you'll use the space, so this may not be the best suggestion for your needs. Have you thought about doing two sofas facing each other with a coffee table in the middle? On the fireplace you could install an adjustable TV mount to tip it in whichever direction you needed for watching. Along one of the walls you could put a console table with decor if you like! Just a thought!

Comments (14)Back to the Living Room if you don't mind. What are ways to place the TV in that corner or wall next to the fireplace. Obviously if in the corner then somehow the window will be partially behind the TV. I personally don't have issues with placing the TV above the fireplace and I want the furniture to reflect the fireplace as the rooms focal point. I just can't seem to completely wrap my mind around how to layout the furniture best if the TV is on the front exterior wall and/or in the corner....See Morefurniture/layout suggestions for living room
Comments (1)Is the rug centered on the window or with the room? Generally, loveseats are very difficult to work with and are usually not the first seat people gravitate to. If it were my room I would slipcover both sofas in a white duck fabric. If you're not going to watch TV here, I would put both sofas entirely on the rug, facing each other with the coffee table 18" or less from them. You can align them either way. If one has its back to the entry, then add a sofa table behind it. If they align with the window behind one of them, then add a tall piece of casegoods like a bookcase or secretary to the end wall. You can move them to try in both arrangements now to see which you prefer. Once that is decided, then we'll approach what goes on all the walls and what other pieces of furniture you may need....See MoreSuggestions for furniture for blank slate living room
Comments (4)Thank you for posting those! I like the 3rd one with the navy couch. My husband wanted a navy leather sofa but I thought it was a bit too much. I worry about the cognac color being too similar to our floors, even with a rug underneath. I don't care for the colors of our floors, it all reads a too orange to mem and that the cognac is maybe too trendy? That seems to be the majority of photos on pinterest when searching for leather couches. Here is hopefully a better layout I like the color of the couch in this one with the darker teal rug and light accents with the pillows and ottoman. This is what I have saved so far, working on adding to it. Thinking maybe a wood coffee table and metal end table near the couch and the chair. I would like to center the couch in front of the fire place, an end table on the left of the couch with a lamp, and then a chair and maybe ottoman on either side of the fireplace?...See MoreApartment Furniture Living room Suggestions
Comments (0)I am in need of some help selecting appropriate furniture for this apartment living room. The layout isn’t ideal because of the awkward shape. The TV is on the wall currently but could be moved above the fireplace. Looking for suggestions on couch, chairs, rug, side tables and other decor for this space....See More

5 years agoThanks for the suggestion,
Unfortunately if I put a 3 seater facing the barren wall it would only leave about 2 feet on either side. If I were to place the 2nd couch facing the fireplace it would have to be pushed in so that one of the seats on the first couch would face the corner of the second couch.
Maybe a 3 seater and a 2 seater mite work
Thanks

5 years agoDo you think something like this work? TV above the fireplace, a small sized sectional and two cushioned armless comfy chairs for extras seating. Backless bar stools so they can slide under the overhang. This would give you 9 seats in all. A buffet for storage under the window with one or two lamps and art on the wall above the two comfy chairs.
