Comments (2)If TV will be the focal put it on the kitchen wall and the sofa on the longer wall. For traffic, try a bench on the wall opposite the kitchen door with a trestle table....See MoreLiving room Couch layout? Design ideas?
Comments (3)I agree about the piano, it was a childhood birthday gift/family heirloom and I truly dislike having it there. I'm sure overtime, the TV legs could wear into the piano. The fireplace itself is actually a two-way fireplace that can be used from either the kitchen or the living room. We are not proud of this wall, because it is a strange configuration and I guess it shows. Eventually, I may want this wall torn down, but of course, there will be challenges with a widely open floor plan, particularly for kitchen cabinet space.

Comments (3)I don’t know if you ever finished your kitchen, but in case you did not, and in case others come across this thread, I thought I would tell what we did. We remodeled our kitchen using a 24 year-old high end kitchen from a kitchen charity reseller (Green Demolitions). It had a huge island that I could fit into our space if we did not have a kitchen table. I have lifelong knee problems and could hardly rise off a regular chair height, so moving to 24” kitchen stools sounded like a solution. We went with the island, with space for four to comfortably sit. It turns out that my knees don’t much like sitting on stools, either. We are a family of two and take our meals in our recliners, anyhow. The issue became how to have people over and sit comfortably. Then I discovered convertible furniture of Italian design! They make coffee tables that rise up on scissor legs to dining height with tops that swivel 90 degrees and open like a book, doubling their size. There are other designs as well, all creating full size dining tables. We found a leather sofa at Macy’s that has a seat height of 20” and we keep our old dining chairs in the basement to bring out when people visit. Our family room is now easily and quickly converted to a dining room with banquette seating. Here is where I got our table. If you live near NYC there are local choices, too. https://expandfurniture.com...See MoreLiving Room Design Ideas
Comments (2)No more gray in a large quantity. And, no that sectional does not belong in your house, color wise, size wise and style wise. Lovely room. Is there a fireplace? Will t v be in this room? FYI, the reviews of Value City are not good. See anything here that you like? https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-best-affordable-sofas-that-dont-look-like-affordable-sofas As for color, I would use the kitchen hardware color as inspiration. I like this rug because it works with your floor, your walls, and the saffron color I would choose for the living room sofa....See MoreDan
