Design Help? Large LivingRoom Furniture Layout? See Pic!
Comments (16)JuniperSt - we moved into a home with a very large great room also - overall size: 29â² long x 27â² wide. I actually ended up submitting the space and dimensions to Ballard Designs design team and they came up with a space plan for me with recommended pieces. I did select a couple of their pieces, but mostly wanted the space plan. I thought they did a great job. Instead of the dining table and console I did bookcases along that wall (where the console was suggested) and did two chairs with a table between in front of the bay window. You could submit your space to them and get some ideas that way - it's free! I did find the key to making the space work and be intimate was to define different spaces. This is also a major walk-through, so needed to be mindful of that. Oh, btw, our tv is huge - it needed to be in order to see it from the sectional.

Comments (10)Get a rug that is 2-4 feet wider than the sofa. Use painter's tape and tape it out on the floor. The taped "rug" should slip under the front 1/3 of the sofa and extend past the ends by a foot or so. If you get a leggy chair, it should sit entirely on the rug. I advise a larger, visually weighty coffee table to work with the sofa. The one you have now is just to spindly and feminine for the seating pieces. It should sit 18" or less from the sofa. Once you have the table, pull the other seating pieces to within 18" of it for conversation and putting down drinks. Otherwise, they'll need their own side tables. I'm guessing you could use more lighting....See MoreHelp selecting art and accent color for living room
Comments (29)A "gift" from your parents in the sense that they had the furniture in their house and passed it onto you? Just wondering as the dining furniture has the same style as the livingroom. Or is it a case that your taste are now changing compared to when your parents bought you the furniture and now your taste is evolving? Would you be able to paint the living room chairs and re-upholstered them to make them more modern as I think once you get your tulip dining table you are going to see that it isn't the cohesive look you are trying to achieve between the rooms unless you really mix it up....See MoreFurniture layout for large living room?
Comments (2)Thanks for the response! The furniture pictured above is all my grandparents' and has since been moved into storage. The furniture we currently have consists of a large Pottery Barn sectional and a couple apartment sized sofas. When we are ready to furniture shop, I was thinking of buying a large-fish sofa and maybe a backless daybed but it really all depends on where the TV would be.... I'm at a loss! The closed door next to the sofa opens into a rear hallway that accesses a powder room and the basement stairs. The open door on the other side of the sofa opens to the front foyer and staircase to the upstairs. There's a den, dining room, and kitchen on the other side of the house....See MoreRelated Professionals
