Need help with an awkward living room layout
Comments (6)I'd like to just tell everyone about a website that lets you design any room you wish, down to the shape of the room, the windows, the awkward walls you may have, the size of the room, then you place furniture in the room. There are thousands of types of furniture and tons of accessories. Everything from vases to rugs to drapes to outlets. Anything you could think of, it's there. Plants, outdoor things, kitchen cabinets, you name it. It's a great tool for us non-pros who like to dabble in rearranging a room. It's called RoomStyler.com Oh - I'm not associated in any way with the website. It doesn't sell anything. It's free to use....See MoreAwkward Living Room Layout. How to Furnish?
Comments (13)the pro taken photos are meant to capture as much of the room into one shot. the problem is, it exaggerates the size of the room. can you stand over by your stairs and shoot into the room? try opening the front door, stand in the doorway, and shoot another pic from that angle. would you like the TV over the fireplace or against one of the walls? do you have any plans for that fireplace? could you do something like this? or what about like this? 2 sofas facing each other, two chairs in the middle. those shouldn't block the walkway to the kitchen. you could do smaller chairs instead of two sofas, one sofa facing two chairs, tv above mantle sofa against front door wall, coffee table, large recliner or two other chairs,, maybe some smaller ottomans on the kitchen door opening side. this is what beverly suggested: sofa/chairs coffee table imagine this is the far wall to the right of the FP. set up the sofa w/back to the front door. you could position the chairs differently. you'd have that whole wall for console for tv, gaming. maybe a sofa w/a chaise. stick a chair over in the corner by window below, front door would be behind the gray sofa. (or, you could reverse this on put tv on the front door wall) sofa w/chaise like this:...See Morewhere to put a big tv in awkward living room layout

Comments (5)Here's a plan for you to consider. Since the room is asymmetrical, don't fight it. Angle the furniture at a 45 degree angle with a large coffee table 42 x 42. Keep the 9 x 12 rug perpendicular to the wall. The TV wall is important to have some sort of horizontal plane so that your focus is not jumping all around the room. Keep the top of the TV below the height of the fireplace mantle. Besides looking visually pleasing, it will be much more comfortable for watching. When you get a cabinet under the TV make sure it is low to the ground. Consider painting the lower half only of the TV wall a color (paint from the mantle height down to the floor). Keep the top of the TV aligned with the top of the mantle V V V Even if you do something like this V V V keep the top of the TV even with the top of the mantle. V V V...See Moregroveraxle
