furniture placement, corner fireplace, walkways around, diagonal walls
Hello,
Please help me arrange furniture in this terribly-designed Family Room of mine! I have a corner fireplace and walkways from the kitchen to the other bedrooms and a long entryway all in the same space. I've had the house for 3 years now and it's been a nightmare.
I currently have 2 sofas and 1 loveseat along with a media console.
I've attached 3 pictures -- 1st of emply floor plan, 2nd with the builders' (terrible) furnioture placement which blocks off the windows and fireplace completely; and the 3rd of how I have it currently but all the wackways are in the middle and makes putting in a rug or side tables EXTREMELY difficult.
Can someone please help me design a REAL family room (with a rug and side tables) for my weirdly designed family room, please?

Need help with furniture and placement!
Comments (11)Thanks, mcegabby! I could move the couch although right now it's right in the middle of two windows and into front of the tv so not much wiggle room. I should mention that that is not the coffee table that we are keeping, that is a placeholder. I think I'm going to get something larger and square to fill some of the space. So funny that you just mentioned two armless chairs with a small table! I was just playing around with that configuration with 2 chairs from our living room. I'd love your opinion on this... Maybe with a leather pouf/ottoman in that other corner......See MoreHelp arranging living room with diagonal wall, bay window, & fireplace
Comments (3)Here is how I would arrange it. Not having dimension, this is obviously not to scale, but gives you general idea. I'd use round features when possible to eliminate the look of the angled wall. Example: here I used a round rug and chairs. I don't know how much space is in the bay window area or if you need to place a dining table there. But, if so, this is one option of how to fit a dining table in smaller space: scoot it up to the back of the sofa. I also do not have information on what furniture you have, but I would not use 2 sofas as the current owner is showing. I'd use one sofa and a couple of chairs, as show below. Hope that helps.

Comments (18)Here is rough sketch with furniture dimensions. Your biggest challenge is all the doors and walkthru space needed which limits sizing of furniture. Here is one Option. Each square is equal to one square foot. You only have room for a sectional in the living area or two recliners and a table. This is maximum sizes I would use. Smaller if possible. The dining table could be a "drop leaf" type table that two people could use for everyday and then could be opened for possible two more seats. I suggest you put blue tape on the floor marking these sizes and you will better see what you can do in the space comfortable. Tables are something you will have to hunt for the right size. This table can also provide that "barrier" to the step down for safety....See MoreFireplace placement and furniture layout help!
Comments (2)My first advice is to extend the two feet - you won't be sorry. 12 x 12 to 14 x 14 is a great discussion square, but requires space to walk around them. . the room you have posted above is 21 x 22 (and huge sofas!) . . two sofas like this across your fireplace and window wall would be tight in a 15' space. A corner fireplace is even more difficult. With the added two feet, a linear fireplace on the side wall with a television outlet mount above would provide a way to do two sofas . . but they would not show off that great window wall. I would keep the wall as is . . fireplace as is, put the television on the wall opposite the kitchen so you can watch while washing up when all alone . . Then, the seating options open . . a big sofa with its back to the kitchen and a great pair of chairs at each end on the other side of the fireplace . . Armchairs by the fire, and a sectional with its back to a console table that you see as you enter your front door . . options abound . . but you won't get the two feet back. Elect for that and keep the fireplace as is . ....See MoreRelated Professionals

Going to give it a go...TV goes on bedroom #3 wall; one sofa where t v is now and the other sofa at 90* angle (replicating a sectional). One sofa is directed at the t v; the other sofa is looking at the fireplace. Loveseat finds a home in another room and it is replaced by two SWIVEL chairs…same spot as in the photo. Those can swivel left or right, servicing the fireplace or the t v.
For the two sofas…ottoman/coffee table.
