Condo Living Room Setip
Comments (16)I might keep the TV in the built-in, with an apartment-scale sofa (also called a studio sofa) facing it. Such a sofa is usually about 72 inches long. Then I'd float two chairs in front of the built in (if this can be done without blocking the view of the TV). This would leave room for a drop-leaf or expandable table at the other end of the room; for it, choose two chairs with arms that you can pull into the LR seating arrangement when you need them. It might be possible to use the dining table as a sofa table when it's not expanded. If you want to keep the feel as open as possible, don't use end tables with the sofa - if you need lamps either for reading, pharmacy lamps take up almost no physical or visual space. Here is a link that might be useful: Possible chair for facing the sofa...See MoreAdding an electric fireplace to my condo living room.
Comments (2)Please do more research about putting a TV above a FP. Here are a few threads & ideabooks to get you started in thinking about the best location for your TV without it taking over your space: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/on-my-soapbox-mounting-the-flatscreen-too-high-dsvw-vd~4537748 https://www.houzz.com/magazine/where-to-put-the-tv-when-the-wall-wont-work-stsetivw-vs~595002 https://www.houzz.com/magazine/design-dilemma-where-to-put-the-flat-screen-tv-stsetivw-vs~185304...See MoreWhat rug for small condo living room?
Comments (71)Very nice. I really like the artwork over your kitchen desk. You might consider a subtle wallpaper or a different color paint just for the wall behind the tv. You don't want small art since you have the shelves on the area to the left, but I think it would be nice to have something simple on that wall. Or just use a mount for your guitar on the wall to the left of the tv. It clears the floor space and provides some interest at the same time. Great space!...See MoreBeach Condo - Weird Living Room Layout Help
Comments (6)The current layout creates a hallway through the living room, and doesn't allow you to enjoy the view. I would wall mount the TV to the right of the windows, or put it on a slim console. That heavy console needs to go, and probably the desk. The couch looks fine, if it's comfortable. I would get rattan side chairs. The tile looks to be in good shape, so you could get a sisal rug or a colorful indoor/outdoor one. Do you plan to rent this place out? If so, that needs to be a primary consideration, because renters have a way of destroying things....See MoreCharlotte Glasgo

This was suggested, but I’m nor sure I like chairs under the alcove.
bookcases on the wall opposite the alcove
also, if I do put painting in The alcove, then where to put furniture since furniture can’t be centered
