Nothing in picture is staying. All items are from other house and are just there until I decide what to do with room, what can be reused and what really must go. Ceiling in room is near 25feet. Lighting other than lamps will come later. Large art is a must. DH says that will come after the furniture. We have been getting ideas as there are also walls in the entry and stairway that need large art. I kinda like the idea of the curved sofa. Not sure if it facing the big wall will work. It may make room look too skinny. We actually did consider flipping the room at one point but decided to keep it the way it is. The room seems long and skinny but the width is actually decent. I think the real problem is that the windows in corner of the front of the room. It makes one want to either be in the area by the windows or be in the area where sofa is. We tried to overlap the sofa on the window and it looked like we were overlapping into that space. I agree that those sitting on sofa in the current layout feel on display as it is first thing you see when coming down the stairs or coming in the house. At one time I thought maybe doing a loveseat a few feet from arch with a sofa table behind it. DH was not too sure about that. I think he felt it chopped up the flow of the two rooms and when sitting on loveseat your back would be to the diningroom and anyone coming from there and the kitchen beyond. I am really into Feng Shui. Flow is important to me. I am just not sure how to achieve it in this room. Here are other views of room from a while ago- note other paint colors. View across room, looking towards entry from the sofa wall.

That's a difficult space. I would recommend it be broken up into two separate sitting areas, and you define that space with two smaller carpets. Otherwise you wind up with everything spread out and it will feel awkward to have any kind of conversation area (as the prior owner's layout attests to). I would use a loveseat / small sofa in front of the fireplace (facing it) as the anchor for one seating area, and then two chairs (probably swivels) in the corners by the fireplace. In the second space, by the bookcases, a pair of wing chairs with a table/lamp between them facing the bookcases. Get a loveseat or small sofa with a pretty back on it, such as the Hancock and Moore Redford sofa if you feel you can accommodate an 82" width piece in that spot. This looks terrific from the back. - Duane Collie, owner of The Keeping Room

DRAW the entire room to scale at 1/4 inch to one inch. Add the windows, openings et. Put inches to all of everything. : ) You don't need a "program". A 25 foot tape measure, graph paper and a pencil and a friend..........works just fine. Get busy or no help of a worthwhile nature will be forthcoming.

I’m not sure how often. It is still being built. Lol. I want it to be a comfortable bed and I’m not sure if Murphy beds are. I was thinking of queen size bed and reclining loveseat on the same wall and the tv in the nook. It will be tight though.
