Need Help with small living room layout
Comments (3)What is the width of the room at its widest? How many people are going to live in the suite and do you just need seating for them? Look at some travel trailer or tiny house plans and see how they deal with tiny spaces. Most of the time, it is with a jack knife sofa or bench. RV furniture is made on a smaller scale than furniture from most furniture stores, though Ikea may have something that will work. You could do something like this, which is an RV sectional/dinette. The seat is higher than a regular sofa so it works with a table. I didn't read through the website, but I think the slot is for the leg of a pedestal table. (There are two in the photo because most RV super slides are for a sofa and dinette.) Then you have comfortable seating and a place to eat....See MoreSmall living room layout
Comments (3)Thank you Nat! I'm going to switch the side table and the tall lamp, and hopefully I can banish the temporary chair back to its old home soon. (Having lived with it for almost two months, I think the new chair needs to be shorter like you said, and possibly slimmer as well.) I think I'm stuck on TV placement because of my bedroom door, but I hope to mount it soon--it feels a little low on the credenza, I think it needs to be maybe 6 inches higher. And I need to get around to hanging art (I moved in the end of May)--I have a box full of framed prints, I just am unsure whether I want one big piece or maybe a cluster of three pieces. My current coffee table is a little big (and too heavy); I'm just a little scared of losing storage space, because I like having the shelf underneath. But I love my rug (a hand-me-down from my grandparents) and want to show it off! Finally, I made a floor plan on urbanbarn, and it helped me see that putting a chair by the sliding glass door would be really tight! I definitely have room for a chair on the other side, but since I frequently use my tiny porch I think I need to keep that walkway open....See Moresmall, awkward living room layout help.
Comments (6)well, here's an example of floating the furniture if you want to get off the back wall: But, I don't think this is necessary with your layout. as grover mentioned, play around with what you have and see what looks best. In the meantime, pick a sofa and an area rug that you want. Then you can build off of that. right now everything in there is so neutral. Look at these rooms I've posted below. Some have a bold color velvet sofa, and some have a bit more leather and black/white. You say you don't know how to do color. So pick a color that you like and work it into an area rug, artwork, pillows and / or the sofa. the rich navy blue velvet is gorgeous with gray, wood flooring and other neutral textiles and camel colored leather so is a deep, forest green this one is pretty neutral except for the rug. every thing else is minimal and neutral This would look so nice w/your wood flooring, the warm colors in the rug, wood slat table, linen-type sofa, leather poufs would also work here. and notice the art work. It all just works together...See MoreSmall Living room layout
Comments (3)A couch will give you a lot more decor options than a sectional. I would pull the couch out from the wall so when you come in you can walk in back of it. This will create a "room" and entry type space. Now, each time you come into the space, you'll have to walk in the middle of the living room. It depends on what you have more of - people siting in the living room all day, or people walking through the house....See Moredecoenthusiaste
