Need help with living room set up and decor!
Hello! I recently decided to renovate our living room.I got to rearranging all of our furniture and ended up with a big mess and can't decide where to put anything. Our living room is rectangular shape, somewhat skinny but long. I like the concept of having it "open" feeling. I dont like clutter. I do have young children so have to keep it some what practical. I will get some updated pictures to post with how it is currently set up. We got a new 9'x12' rug for the area by the couches and then a 6'x9' jute rug for the opposite end of the room. Need help deciding the perfect placement as well as ideas for furniture and decor (specifically end tables). I have added some pictures to show some of the pieces that we currently have to work with.As much as I would LOVE to get rid of the over sized
"seat" my husband insist we keep it. Thanks for your help!

Comments (9)Anything wood would need to complement your large built in. I think adding glass and metal for C-table and side table would add a different texture. Maybe a leather ottoman that will double as coffee table. You could have a Persian rug or ivory/gray shag style rug to define your living room area but it would need to be large enough to anchor the space (under feet of both sofa and love seat). I don't mid your pillows but I think 4 is too matchy-matchy. Can you take a closer up pic of sofa and pillow fabric? What is behind the curtain divider? Rent or own?...See MoreNeed help with living room set up.

Comments (6)I moved the sofa from the front wall. There was a fire place behind that sofa. Now it's in the middle of the room with 3 corners to fill up! Should I install small corner shelves on both side of the tv? And may be put plants? I don't like the all the electrical wire cords but can't find any other solution except for hiding under the white strips....See MoreRelated Professionals

1Temporary · More InfoThanks for all of the additional photos! Here is how I would set up your space. With this new way, foot traffic avoids the furniture area. Also, you are looking out the window. I placed a dining table in the small area, but that could be whatever you want.

Below is a plan which might work for you, as CDR Design above has indicated. All of the dimensions are approximate. If you would like to add dimensions and send back, I would be happy to revise the plan.
This layout will give you a better flow and tighten up the zones. By relocating the tv and anchoring the main seating area with the new rug, it will delineate the function as lounging and tv watching. When you had the tv on the stair wall, the elevation of that wall is confusing and distracting with the entrance, stair, tv, hall to powder room. There was no place for your eyes to rest. You want your home to be inviting and relaxing.
To add much needed front entrance storage, Ikea has simple tall storage cabinets. See link below. It can stay at the front door where you originally had your stand, but will be a closed cabinet.Relocate your wedding pic to the stair wall and put a narrow bench below. A beautiful bright color or print fabric would look key.
The back area is the perfect place for a kid zone and the large lounge chair. Place a window seat under the window that will accommodate a toy chest under the seat and lots of pillows. Add bookcases on either side of the lounge chair, a small table with kids chairs for games, That little corner on the left is perfect for a kids tent.
All the window treatments should be simple solid color (I like white or cream) curtain panels ceiling to floor, and full: at least 2x the width of the window and gathered tightly.
